Pinned post!

Hello Studyblr :] I am an active blog Sept 2024 (updating every few months) and this is my get to know me :D

- I’m Ali, 17, all pronouns

My A-level courses are: English language (AQA) (predicted B), English Literature (OCR) (predicted A), and Chemistry (OCR B) (predicted A)

I hope to study a combined English Literature and Language course at University (AAB) but my absolute love is linguistics.

This is my blog for study related posts, motivation, pretty pictures (aesthetic), subject related memes, and a bit of stoicism. What a fun time. My work isn’t the prettiest but it gets the job done, and I want to be more proud of the things I do.

Enjoy :) (my main is @ali-ali-al1 but shhhh)

"it's boring"

✨GASLIGHT YOURSELF✨

it's insane but it works.

Find out where and how the topic you are learning is used, look for examples, find out how it works.

Make yourself believe the topic is fun.

Every attempt to definitively say what language is is subject to a curious limitation. For the only medium with which we can define language is language itself. We are therefore unable to circumscribe the whole of language within our definition. It may be best, then, to leave language undefined, and to thus acknowledge its open-endedness, its mysteriousness. Nevertheless, by paying attention to this mystery we may develop a conscious familiarity with it, a sense of its texture, its habits, its sources of sustenance.

Personal statement writing to so hard. How do I explain my love for my subject in words alone? Without jumping up and down with glee and whimsy?? How???

You’re never too old to learn something new. Never stop studying.

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"
