"girlhood was as ephemeral as a drop of water on a lily pad." // chitra banerjee divakaruni, the forest of enchantments
reading on the floor as the rain rains very erratically
aesthetic for @mathemaphia
the glide of a fountain pen across paper
wanting to understand the world and your place in it
an organized desk, everything in its place
finding satisfaction in the precision of mathematics
a freshly steeped cup of tea with fragrant steam
your favorite tea mug set out on your desk
splotches of ink on your hands, worn like badges of honor
always hungry for knowledge, eager to know more about everything
books that make you contemplate your own existence
novels by kafka by your bed
using math as a lens through which to decipher the world and its rules
gazing out the window on long car rides
language textbooks - french, german, korean - stacked by your desk
finding order and patterns in the world
a contemplative soul, mulling over big philosophical ideas
pages filled with long strings of calculations
muttering verb conjugations as you work on memorization
wanting everyone to see beauty in math the way you do, even though it’s considered a frightening subject
researching your favorite authors
studying language, shaping your mouth around unfamiliar words

A new coffee bean just opened and I just love the interiors and the lighting! And it’s just right across from where I live. Finally, a new study place! Idk why but I’m not a huge fan of their coffee though.
I will be trying my best to be active again. I’m now in my 3rd year of law school. I started my studyblr during my first year and it has helped me de-stress from my law school life.
Super duper thankful of the upperclassmen and seniors who willingly share their notes with us! You are the real MVPs! Wouldn’t survive law school without you guys!
a small sanctuary in these trying times?

Do you ever think about how many of the items now considered priceless artifacts were once commonplace items? The coins we now marvel at from behind the glass at a museum were once tossed around, stepped on, and traded around. The pottery painstakingly pieced back together was somebody’s favorite wine jug. The decorative pin now rusted and bent once held together the shoulder of someone’s chiton. History is simply a trail of ordinary people going about their day, and I think there’s an odd sort of beauty in that.
