hi everyone! i’ve been on studyblr for a while -- i was a veteran studyblr under a different name & the account is still there, but it exists more as an archive for me -- so this is my second shot!
＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ about me ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊
you can call me valentine, or val for short!
pronouns are she/her, i’m also 💅
best aesthetic to describe me is chaotic academia
i will be tracking #kaimenestra so feel free to use that tag!
＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ my academics ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊
i am a college student! in my second year right now
my major is area studies (specifically east asian studies), but i take a lot of law/social justice-adjacent courses too
thinking of law school and/or grad school :)
my academic interests lie strictly in the humanities -- languages, literature, law, and social science research are big parts of my life
＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ my goals ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊
i’m hoping to get fluent in my target languages, so i’ll be documenting them here. i speak english and a chinese dialect, but i’ll be studying a mix of: mandarin chinese, korean, german, ukrainian, and french!
i like to do research, and am currently on track to be published in an academic journal by the end of undergrad!
i am also the type of person who loves reading but doesn’t actually read that much, so hopefully this helps me read again!
the rest (non-academic info & tags) under the cut for length reasons
anime || haikyuu, ouran, saiki k, rozen maiden, blue period, etc. (fun fact: my cursor is a milk carton/kageyama icon!)
cdramas, esp wuxia/xianxia || the untamed (陈情令) (!!!), word of honor (山河令), heaven’s official blessing (天官赐福)
kdramas || beyond evil, d.p., prison playbook, stranger, inspector koo (i love korean procedural dramas LOL)
western shows || hannibal (tv), killing eve, the good place, b99 (basically either queer murder couple or sitcoms)
films || simply anything by wong kar-wai crushes my heart
figure skating || i like yuzuru hanyu & i miss 2018 pyeongchang
＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ other interests ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊
gaming but only if it’s rpg-esque -- i like ace attorney and the sims 4 LOL and i want danganronpa ...
i analyze emojis. not a fan of emojis on tumblr bc they look weird but i can get so mad abt emojis. current hot takes: we need a green grapes emoji & it is disrespectful that laundry emoji is the same as picnic basket emoji 🧺 like :|
classics -- i used to study latin and i love classical greece/rome
i also like dance! i trained in contemporary & classical chinese dance but i like watching hip-hop, street dance

So weird to think its already the end of January lol. Can't wait until spring, its been so horrible and cold recently and I'm sick and tired of constantly feeling (and looking) like the Michelin man with my puffy coat and 15 different layers just to stay warm 😭
january is one of those months where you experience every feeling on the human spectrum and you just have to go about your day like that isn’t happening
