"Cherie, keep walking. Shut your eyes. We are headed for the bridge. We are going to cross it."
-Joyce Carol Oates, After the Wreck, I Picked Myself Up, Spread My Wings, and Flew Away
The love-hate relationship with the exam season. I’m so tired. Getting up to study early enough to see the sunset. Tea with sugar and cream. Oh god, I forgot to eat. Going on short runs to restart my brain. Messy buns. Fruit and candy. When was the last time I got a full night of sleep? Blasting rock in my headphones so I don’t doze off. I shouldn’t drink so much caffeine. This is my fifth cup today. I’ve been wearing this sweater for a week. I LOVE biology. I don’t want to see amino acids at least for a month. This chapter is fascinating. I’m becoming Rory Gilmore. Band t-shirts. Reading fantasy books when I need to distract myself for a bit. Journaling. Hold on I need to romanticize this. This is the best time of the academic year. I’m so tired. But god, the aesthetics…
It‘s kind of hard to romanticize studying during a long train ride, when the train conductor thinks you’re in the middle of a heat wave and leaves the AC running. ✨Only my tablet’s overworked lithium battery keeps me from slowly freezing to death. ✨
This is wayyy to aesthetic to be just candle wax. It kind of reminds me of summer vacation in France with my Family 😊
Hey guys! Today I took a break from studying to pursue my creative endeavours with...you guessed it! Candle making! 🫧 What do u guys think? Are the sea breeze scent and the ocean aesthetic going to relax your mind? Hope they do so with mine 🪸

Madly in love with my newest IKEA purchase and the neighbor‘s cat Timmy (even though he constantly tries to break into our apartment -a criminal, but a cute one)
Also I’m already 🌼stressed🌼 about my exams
Sometimes I see the academia aesthetic on tumblr and I’m like … not once in the entirety of my academic career has it EVER looked like that lol
