It’s always interesting how, whenever I prepare an exam, my mind is always curious and needs to know more about the topic i’m studying. Am I studying literature? I wanna know more about that specific author and what they wrote. Am I studying anthropology? I wanna read an essay about a specific culture or the impact that some things have on society.
Right now I’m preparing a linguistic exam and the first thing I did yesterday when I entered into the library is borrowing a book about sociolinguistic, even though for me studying linguistic is a pain in the ass; but, despite that, I still wanna know how the use of language is correlated to gender, provenance or even social class.
Studying at uni is not easy. There have been times where i just wanted to give up, and sometimes I still wanna do it, not because I’m not good enough, but because of the amount of exams I still have to prepare.
Studying at uni is not easy, but then I force myself to do it and I rediscover the beauty of what I’m studying, I fall in love with the exam I’m preparing.
What I understood today is that there are some subjects that, even though are hard to deal with, they worth the studying, they worth the love. They worth the patience.
Linguistic is my odi et amo, something that makes me lose hope most of the times but also makes me wonder. And sometimes you need to stick with these specific subjects, even though they’re not easy to understand. Sometimes you need to stick with those specific sparks these subjects give you, protect them and find in them the reason to keep going and reach your goals.
If the dark side had crochet hooks, yarn and books, I would totally join it.
i'm so attracted to emotional intelligence like damn the way you actually listen and communicate turns me on

I will never be thankful enough for DIY and cozy hobbies.
Today was tough, I had a lot of thoughts going on in my head. My mind kept wandering all the time while trying to study, or doing daily tasks at home. That’s why, after my study session, i decided to make something useful with my hands and release some stress.
So I created a plant pot with clay. I wanted to create it for weeks but couldn’t find the right time. Then, this late afternoon, I decided to seize the opportunity.
As I said in the first line, I will never be thankful enough for this kind of hobbies. It doesn’t matter if your DIY project isn’t perfect (mine it isn’t for sure) nor it doesn’t matter if you just started doing DIY hobbies. What matters the most is that you find something – and I mean anything – that keeps you grounded when you’re trying to figure out life, like a sort of safe place when you’re trying to discover yourself.
As creating this plant pot was for me, hours ago.
Be creative, my friends. Hobbies are really life saver.
