Korea.. I just wanna talk. I need you to tell me why your language is like this Why do you have so many words that mean ‘and’ or ‘with’ and ‘together’ Why do you have so many words that are usually interchangeable (except when they’re not!) Do you really need this many conjunctions? Is it necessary? Why are you doing this to me.
I mean it’s fine. really it is. I speak English as a native language I don’t have a leg to stand on here, I know that. But still.
what are your goals for 2021?
mine is to learn cantonsese like i’ve been telling myself to do for the past ten years lol
Going into university, I was so excited for the new opportunities to learn about things that I truly wanted to learn about. I stayed on top of things for the first couple of months, but then I slowly lost the enthusiasm that I wanted to have. Now, I’m really struggling to get anything done.
In the time of online learning, it’s incredibly hard to get and stay motivated, and I really feel as though I’ve lost my passion for education. At this point, I don’t feel as though I’m really learning - just trying to meet due dates. I want nothing more than to be able to go to my university’s library and study, but I’m stuck in my bedroom all day. When I’m with my parents, at home, rather than by myself in the city my university is, I’m constantly being pushed to do work every minute I’m awake. Again, I don’t feel like I’m learning, I feel like I’m making deadlines.
COVID-19 has taken so much joy from people’s lives, and I truly cannot wait for the time when we’re able to do the things we love again; when we’re able to reignite the passion we have for education.
hi everyone- here’s the full spread for this past week !! i’ve been busy working on the app and it will be available on the app store testflight soon 🥳🥳

1.9.20 - looking back at a few of my older book collections and journal spreads reminds me of how much we capture ourselves at a moment in time based on the purchases we make or the way we express ourselves. I went through a phase of being obsessed with Latin, and found books on learning Latin. I never actually did learn Latin, but I loved looking through the books and just taking it all in. Looking at my bullet journal spreads, I see how far I’ve come from my early calligraphy and what multimedia I used at the time. I collected paint chips and used them for color palettes for spreads.
the past week has been absolutely crazy entertainment-wise from all of disney’s announcements on friday including star wars (hayden returning!!!) and miss taylor swift surprise announcing and releasing another stunning album. I have regained some resemblance of calm and now it’s evermore on repeat time.
getting ready to take some more notes! kittens are snoozing on my bed behind me and i’ve got some classical music playing. this is the perfect afternoon!
My Korean study space. 🌸is my favorite color~
10.18.2020 || i put together this collage using scraps and bits that i’ve been collecting for, i kid you not, two (2) years. twas super fun to get my creative juices flowing again. god that’s such a weird phrase why do ppl say that
to everyone else in school right now:
please use sparknotes. please use khan academy. please listen to school house rock songs and watch the history of the entire world i guess and tim and moby and bill nye. any documentary you watch in class can be found somewhere online with a quick google. get your books from project gutenberg and z-lib. download textbooks off the internet whenever you can find them. use desmos for a free online graphing calculator. if you’re learning something and you don’t get it look up the wikipedia page on it and put it into simple english to get the gist, then put it back into regular english to get the full story. cheat if you have to. school sucks so bad rn and if you’re like me and you get all your materials secondhand or from the lost and found, online resources are really useful rn; all of the above have helped me pass a class in some way, and i hope they can help you too.
stay inside and stay safe. best of luck to all the students out there.
my journalling style is literally just *insert unintelligible scrawl here*

Since my classes begin tomorrow and it is mostly online I thought I'd share some simple study/self care tips that I will be sticking to.
That's it! This is a pretty basic self care list for studying online but sometimes it's best to keep it simple. Good luck my loves and mind yourselves!
“If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else” • This has never felt more accurate after the year we’ve had. I’ve always been an introvert (or an ambivert at most) and have always found peace in hanging out alone, but I also do love going out and spending time with others, which has been missing a lot in 2020. I’ve learned this year more than ever how important it is to be comfortable with ourselves and to be our own best friend, and how prioritizing ourselves is not selfish. I’ve learned to say “no” and “I’m not comfortable with that”, especially in the times we live in. I’ve learned not to depend on others, and that our friends and family should not complete us but instead should complement us; that we should be whole beings, and a solid foundation on which we can build stronger relationships. That’s a state of mind I hope to bring into 2021, no matter who I’ll be able to see in person or which new people I’ll meet along the way. 💁🏻

13.12.20 / cleaned my stamps this morning. it seems like a very sunday kind of thing to do–quiet and meditative. i have to head out later today so i got all dressed up. hope your weekend is going well. you’re trying your best and that’s all that matters ♡
today is not my day. my brain is all over the place but it’s okay... just wish my brain would function properly sometimes and allow me to focus for once
