It has been one hell of a stressful month. I just want to crawl up and disappear because there’s just too much I need to do and nothing is going as expected. Life is not looking so happy. Take for example yesterday, when my application for this research opportunity was due. I emailed my professor for a letter of recommendation two months prior but she suddenly went MIA yesterday and did not submit it before the deadline. And now I have a huge psych exam tomorrow I have to study for and I’m not even halfway done. I also have a quiz in calc which I’m doing horrible in, even though I stay up studying almost every night. Oh and I can’t forget to study for the ACT, go to work, and lead my extracurriculars. I had a couple of break downs, lost a substantial amount of hair, and have broken out on my face. I don’t think I can do this.
What she says: I’m fine
What she means: Selena Qunitanilla single handedly smashed the patriarchy of tenjano music by becoming the highest selling artist in a male dominated music genre, won a Grammy, started her own clothing line of Latin inspired designs and patterns, this woman was a trend setter in fashion, music, dance, and was the light of so many people’s lives and if she were still alive today she would be no doubt one of the most iconic singers/fashion designers of our era. In fact, she was so iconic during her lifetime, that the state of Texas continues to observe her birthday as “Selena Day”, her biopic staring Jennifer Lopez continues to play every year around that time, and there’s a Selena museum dedicated to her life, displaying her most iconic garments she wore during her many performances. She made her family proud, she made the Latino community proud, Chorpus Christi proud, shit she makes me, a non Latina African American proud, she is an icon. An ICON. ICONIC.
Lmao I can’t, no one in the bullet journal community decided to use @bulletjournal as their username.

Happy new year to everybody! Printed @thearialligraphyproject‘s January calendar (thank you so much for posting all the calendars at once!) and started using my brand new Molang diary! I’ll be using the white one this year. (⑅˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈ )
I hope at this time next year you’ll listen to your favourite music, hold a cup of hot cocoa in your hands, and smile because everything is okay.
today was spent reading in bed, studying, and wandering art galleries ✨
you know why it’s so critically important to celebrate women over the age of 40?
because young women and girls need role models. need someone to aspire to become as they age.
as it is, society basically tells girls and young women: aspire to be 18-22. do not aspire or imagine past that, for you are useless without youth and beauty. do not aspire to be wise, or strong, beautiful without youth, or valuable with lines and wrinkles. and THAT is scary. we put a cap on aspirations for girls, because we want them to think the ideal comes and goes by 20–when really, we’re at our best for many, many years beyond.
2017 WILL BE SO BLESSED
PRAY FOR CARRIE FISHER. PRAYERS DO GREAT THINGS!
