i found this app called HUJI Cam which allows you to take pictures analog 90’s style and love it so far!
this is my study space after i cleaned it up a bit featuring a lovely wallpaper by @eintsein, and a to-do list I made before going to bed. the background is my biology notebook, doesn’t it have the most stunning cover? 🌸
Things I learned from Junior Year
Hey hey so my junior year ends in a week and I want to share some of the (surprising) things I’ve learned from what everyone generally calls the most important year of high school
1. Do what you love, love what you do
Junior year is when almost everyone is basically freaking out about college transcripts. I cannot stress how important it is to actually take the classes and activities that you want to do, not what you think colleges will want to see. Almost everyone I knew took all these AP classes for their college transcripts and not only were most of us pretty miserable but our grades dropped and we wasted months of our year. So, you first, college second.
2. You will get into a college
If you’re applying, you will get into a college. It might not be your dream school or your top three, but you will get into a college. So don’t worry over “perfecting” your college app for your top colleges. There will always be a college willing to welcome you and that C you got in physics class. If one door closes, another door opens. Broaden your horizons and let the opportunities fall where they may.
3. Community college is a valid option
Let’s be real, community college is taken as a giant joke, the place where the people that couldn’t get into “real college” go, the school that gets you nowhere. But, that’s pretty damn far from the truth. People go to community college for a lot of reasons: it’s way cheaper, you can use it as a springboard to get into a university which is easier than if you applied as a freshman bc college credits, etc. You can be just as successful as someone that went to a private college. Don’t be afraid of considering community college as a place to go to.
4. Watch your mental health
Take that mental health day. All that SAT prep coupled with school, extra curriculars, and the general downward spiral of other people’s mental health during the year will mush together into a workaholic 2 hour sleep schedule where all you eat is basically coffee and potato chips. If you need to, take that D on that math test if it means not pulling an all-nighter for the third day in a row. Take that extra day away from school to study for that test in the subject you’re terrible at. Take that extra day to not do anything but relax with some bubble tea and take-out and netflix. Just don’t let it turn into a mental health week.
5. You don’t need a life plan
You don’t need to have your life all planned out. Half of everyone doesn’t really know what they’re doing, so don’t feel panicky if someone actually does. But, this doesn’t mean you get to slack off. Explore your options, your hobbies, cultivate your abilities and passions, so you won’t be completely befuddled when you’ve actually got a make some sort of plan later on.
6. Don’t feel pressured
Don’t let people pressure you into doing things you don’t feel ready for. Yes, I mean things like drinking (especially underage drinking), smoking things, and sex and everything in between. Because kids will be losing their virginities and going to wild parties and getting tattoos. It happens. Don’t feel like you need to have your first kiss or your first drink before college. It isn’t a race or a competition. Don’t do things you’ll regret or set yourself up for trouble. Be careful, be safe, be comfortable.
Ah I hope this post is helpful in any sort of way! I’ve finally posted something original which is a big woohoo. Have a great whatever time of day it is! okie dokes bye :)

LONG TIME NO SEE TUMBLR!!
yes, your Daria’s back! I’m 20 now, I’ve taken so many exams my eyes nearly popped out and my head nearly exploded, I traveled to Russia for summer holidays and I’m getting back to journaling!
these few months were really tough so I had no time nor strength to come back and sort everything out… BUT I’m finally here so I will queue your post, message you, have fun with you and enjoy the rest of my holidays! how are you doing lately?
(the pic above is an older photo of my spring spread inspired by depeche mode and @pacifistpadme’s beautiful works!)
Student, you do not study to pass the test. You study to prepare for the day when you are the only thing between a patient and the grave.

6.30.2017 11:29 AM CET (5:29 AM my home time): Hello! I hope you guys have enjoyed the travel photos in lieu of normal updates. But I haven’t stopped studying! Whenever I talk to somebody and I need to learn a word I don’t know, I write down what they tell me in my Spanish notebook. Instead of being by topic, it’s by date. I have some extra time to study today, though, so I’m going to try to learn the happy vocab that I just reblogged because I often tell people how much I like Solsona. I hope everyone’s having a great Friday!
