Don't Forget To Study Hard - Blog Posts
I am starting uni on September 16th. I am scared, as I don't know anybody (all of my friends are going to other colleges, and studying things far more useful than literary studies and classics).
A couple months back I went on a tour of the humanities faculty building and it is absolutely beautiful, it looks like it could belong in a Donna Tartt novel, or a Shirley Jackson story: creepy, kind of unsettling, old, reminiscent of gothic architecture, beautiful.
I am excited, but also extremely confused, when I was building my timetable I realized none of my classes were on Fridays, and upon further research I found out there is no class on Fridays. I am confused about that.
Anyway, as I do every year before school starts, or, As I've done for the past three years, I will be re-reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I have had to buy a new copy because the one I've had since 2021 is so used the pages fall off. I am currently reading The Goldfinch, also by Donna Tartt.
Have a good academic year, lots of love,
Anna.
Currently working on turning in my last assignments before winter break. I've only got nine days left of school and I'm really looking forward to the holidays, seeing family, waking up late, and getting presents. I'm currently reading three books at a time, but the one I'm into the most is Eve's Hollywood by Eve Babitz.
I canceled my gym subscription because the gym I was going to was really old and barely any of the machines worked, also you had to pay a supplement to take pilates and that was my last straw. Im really into long walks and hikes now, even though with school it's impossible to have enough time for it.
Now that it's colder I'm into dressing more elegant and with a vintage touch, I'm really trying to explore my personal style.
I have nothing else to share, love you so much,
Anna. 🫶🏻🫶🏻
It's exam season again... let's get those good grades! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I just started reading The dangers of smoking in bed, I am enthralled by the aesthetics in all of these short stories, omg.
Also love the cold weather, and I'm eating lots of tangerines and drinking lots of tea and listening to lots of music.
Might rewatch gilmore girls or little women...
Xx, Love u, Anna 🫶🏻
