Helloooo! Once you get this you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly, then send this to ten of your favourite followers (non-negotiable) SPREAD POSITIVITY 💌😘

ah thanks! hm i’m realizing i’ve actually never done this exercise before, listing things i like about myself (HA ok here we go)

1. I love the color of my eyes (both hazel, but one is a little more green and one is a little more brown) 2. I really like my music taste, just all over and comforting for whatever mood I’m feeling 3. I’ve really been proud of my drawing abilities recently; I didn’t used to actually enjoy the art I made but over the summer I just randomly really started feeling proud of the pieces I created 4. similarly, I really love the ‘voice’ I use when writing, it just sounds nice in my head and on the page 5. I like how much I care about other people. I struggle sometimes (often) to know what the ‘right’ balance of caring for other people vs. myself is, but I like that I am just instinctively drawn to wanting the best for others.

it has been e x t r e m e l y cold here recently and in my hometown we apparently had -40 C at one point so :|,,, i wanted to create this juxtaposition of both the warmth and cold i’ve been feeling this month 🤍 my gf warms my days even if the surrounding world is freezing

Tracking #rivkahlook

My tag has been dry lately, prolly cause yall are exhausted like me, but since I have so many new followers, PLEASE feel free to tag me in your posts. Don't tag #rivkahstudies since that's my original content tag 💞

Your post hit me hard. I had to spend all day emailing professors I barely knew and opening up that my financial problems are causing me to work two jobs and COVID is killing my will to live, so I have to be strategic with which classes I take. They were all super helpful and compassionate but like bruh, why do I have to do this. Why can't all profs teach classes I can actually learn from in a pandemic instead of me having to play roulette.

YES RIGHT? I have to work 5 days a week, terrified as I bus 2 hours a day through downtown where cases peak most, and my profs have the audacity to ask why I don't make it to their 1-hour office hour window to express my concerns.

Thank goodness your profs were compassionate, my genetics prof really said "it's eat or be eaten" about how we'd work hard or not to succeed, I almost ended the whole zoom call during that lab.

I hope your work load eases up somehow in some way shape or form because this is really the last thing you need.

My mom snapped me out of my constant tensed state by saying "you are not paying them 8k a year to drain you of any will to live" and it has made me calm down a little more about grades and getting As, because really, the odds feel most against us students with these conditions.

Wishing you a lot of rest soon 🥺

Hi, do you track any tags?

Yep! I track #rivkahlook, but I'm horrendous at keeping up with it because tumblr doesn't update me as well as it should. Thanks for reminding me to check up on it!

I absolutely adoreee these books.

Story time! When I was little my mum wouldn’t let me read any Sidney Sheldon books because apparently they were too mature for me at the time. (I remember sneakily reading a scene when she wasn’t home and in it a man ‘entered’ a woman and I was so confused. I almost asked my mom if women had a door in them or something skhbejdi) Anyways!!! She’s finally allowed me to read his books and ngl I’m a little hyped !

Having fun doing some casual reading about embryology! Not being in high school anymore is freeing but also idk what to do?? So there's that.

I hope all of you sweets are staying safe in these scary times 💞 feel free to reach out to me anytime
