09•04•24// I had a really, really shit start to the year. My personal life genuinely fell apart in more than one way about 4 weeks before I wrote the bar exams. Being on the other side of most of it and having managed to pass my exams, has been relieving to say the least. If you've been here for a minute, you'll know I started this blog as a way to motivate myself to get into law school. Well, we've done it friends 💕🍾
The weather was nice out today, and I finished my Audrey 2 crochet project!! I'm so happy with how it turned out. The pattern is from PippaPatternsCrochet on Etsy.
saw this on twitter and like...this (the essay, not the tweet) would be a shit-for-brains take regardless but actually publishing this in an academic year when the institution at which you are a professor has had 5 suicides in 4 months is just fucking staggering. genuinely unbelievable callousness on display here. i think the university of cambridge should be burnt down also.
Hiya! I'm Mai (she/her) - I created my studyblr years ago to hold myself accountable for being productive and not slacking off with my studying. But I've not touched this account in years now so that's about how well that's gone.
I'm twenty one years old from the UK, and I'm in my second year of an English Literature degree. I can't lie, part of the reason I evaporated off your dashboard is because uni's been really hard. There are more tears, procrastination, breakdowns over the uncertainty of the future, hours scrolled through tiktok, stress meals eaten, and feelings of complete and utter displacement than I think people on studyblr let on. Going forward, I think I'm going to try to be more authentic (cringe sorry) and maybe that'll make me want to post more and in turn (we can only hope) be more productive.
I've also been trying to learn French since Lockdown, but am very much still a beginner (can just about order a meal), so if any langblr people wanna be friends I'm down to follow each other on Duolingo :) I say this but I've not been on Duolingo since the summer.
Quick-fire things about me!
I follow back from maiwritesstuff (boring formality but just fyi)
I love reading! Just not the stuff for my course - my favs are anything by Nabokov, Still Life by Sarah Winman, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, A Little Life by Hanya Yanighara, and probably a lot more than what springs to mind
One of my greatest passions in life is writing, hence why you should also follow maiwritesstuff. Not that I ever post on there either, but you can follow and then eagerly await my comeback
(I love parentheses)
I went to see Barbie 7 times in cinema and it was the greatest summer of my life
There is not a meal on earth that cannot be infinietly improved by a side of coleslaw
I'm a pisces!!
Another of my great passions in life is music! I listen to loads and loads of stuff and could ramble endlessly about most genres
I could ramble endlessly about most topics tbh
My favourite pokemon is Vaporeon
One of my New Years resolutions is to try and enjoy things without thinking too deeply about them ideologically (i am still very bad at this)
I love cooking!!! And baking!!! And one of the greatest freedoms of uni is getting to cook what I want when I want without having to battle with my younger brother for use of the kitchen. I also live RIGHT next to big tesco which is where most of my money goes :(
I'm currently procrastinating finishing an essay that's due tomorrow hahahahahaha
I have a test on social psychology in an hour… instead of studying last night and this morning, I have been drawing and having ideas about an AU of The Legend of Zelda… wish me luck on the test.
!! hi all :D completely forgot 2 update u guys on the ucat situation!! i got 2860 + band 1 so we are VERY happy (even though i wanted 3000... grumbles....) and excited to apply for med in october!!
Today was Friday! That in itself was nice, but I also got to play a game of Konane with my friend after school. It was nice to take some time away from working and socialize for a bit.
Spent Saturday at an offer holder day. Overall, I wouldn't mind going to the but nothing really called to me. I have nothing to compare it to so I just gotta wait till I vist the next uni
During my session we had to work in groups to create a wind turbine that would genreate enough energy to power an LED an my group won!
It was fun but very tiring to travel to and back, I spent at least 6hrs commuting
