17/03/2026 - Back to learning a language!

One resolution I set myself for the year was to get back to learning a language. And I recently plucked up the energy to actually take the leap into it again. I'm starting out with Duolingo but, I am going to be using other resources too, in order to learn my chosen language. I even wiped my entire progress clean and started right from the beginning with it.

(Also, I have been obsessed with these landscape post styles I keep seeing so tried it out for this one.)

No one else cares for your success (as much as their own) so you have to care. You have to force yourself to get up early, you have to force yourself to turn your phone off and revise, you have to force yourself to workout, you have to care for the whole world because no one else cares until they start seeing results. And they won’t ever see your results if you don’t care enough first. It’s your life, they are your goals, your dreams, it will be your success but it has to be your effort and your work first and foremost x

10.10.25 16/100 days of productivity

Had two tests today, both of which I passed. I got 51/60 on Organic Chemistry and 31/35 on Philosophical Science. The scores aren't very impressive, but right now I'm just happy that I got them over with. Since it's also the start of our finals exam next week, I will start studying all of our lessons so far. I can already feel the exhaustion from the amount of studying I have to do.

It's also my 21st birthday next week. I can't even bring myself to look forward to it because of the hellish workload. Although, I do look forward to baking cheesecake for my friends.
