On the booktok there is this huge thing of "don't damage the books". And the whole "never break your spine" "no dog-eared page" thing pisses me off so much. Since I was a child I learned that the more the book is damaged the more we like it. And reading old books, I saw which page was read again and again. I want to see that the book had gone to the beach even if that means the page is crumpled. Books are literally a part of our lives, so it's only normal for them to look worn down from life.
I specifically remember this book when I was 8yo , Inkeart where the main character Meggie talk a lot about this and I think it has greatly influenced my way of being a reader (since I read this book I always keep my reading of the moment under my pillow)
I'm going to one of the most prestigious schools in my country. I don't want to go there because I like the studies or because I'll be well paid when I leave. Not just because there's a ball where you can carry a real sword (need I ask for a better reason?).

WE’RE GOING TO GET MORE YOUNG CHERRY AND JOE!!!
My biggest flex ? Using Saltburn and quotes Jacob Elordi in my french essay 🫡
When we all scroll through Tumblr pinterest Instagram etc we all see tidy desks, beautifully written lessons, revision sessions in nice cafes. But can we show the chaos that revision often represents? While romanticising our studies is enjoyable and can even be motivating, it's important to remember that most people don't work like that and still succeed. So here's my revision chaos 4 days before the start of my exams: binders everywhere, even on the floor, barely legible sheets of rough paper and my flat untidy due to lack of time. Yes, the greatest difficulty in studying is the lack of time, so don't focus on the aesthetics of your lessons, but above all on understanding them and making them interesting.
So I’ve just finished to watch red white and royal blue and honestly I didn’t have much expectation but that was great !
I was literally giggling and kicking the whole thing because of my joy seeing Henry and Alex on screen. First of all,Alex actor was perfect. The first part of the film was so fun and gave a feeling close to when I was reading the book. The cake scene, the hospital scene etc… But, I expected it, when the love story started I was so disappointed that all the side stories were erased. The story of Béatrice, Alex freaking out about being bi (as a bi person it really matters to me), the personality of Nora, Raphaël and of course June (seeing Alex being an only child was heartbreaking). Most importantly, I missed the whole group of friends (and the kimono in the karaoke scene) that I think was so important to Henry's development. And I wanted a few little details like the quotes from Remus Lupin but it's just that I wanted an unrealistic 5 hour movie for this book. So yes the story had lost a lot of depth but again it was expected. Except, the romance was cute and touching and I'm definitely going to see it again (I have to reread the book first )
Gradually falling back in love with studying 🫶
Doing organic chemistry always helps me enjoy what I study
Am I procrastinating from reading my books for school while reading other books? Yes. will I regret it? probably. am I going to stop doing it? Never.
I've come to the conclusion, Regulus likes Cigarettes After Sex and Sirius like cigarettes after sex. Thank you for agreeing because of course there is no lie said.
