I find extreme pleasure in checking things off in...
I’m reaching the point where if I continue studying for philosophy I’ll just begin to doubt myself and what I know. I’ve spent an accumulative of about 3 days taking notes, and reading over the notes I already had. I’m thankful that I worked hard this semester and have a firm grasp on the concepts in the first place, but knowing that I need to know everything all at once is...

My life: studying
Romantic to a fault.
Finally, I can breathe. I’ve been up countless hours each night studying for exams, completing culminating activities, writing reports, and final papers. I can’t even recall the last time I was able to sit down and relax. For now, I’ve decided to turn a blind eye to my responsibilities and what I know I should be doing and instead I will just sit and breathe.

I also want to challenge myself, maybe I should apply to some schools that are considered “Canadian Ivy’s.” McGill? UofT? UBC? I can’t decide if it will benefit me…
I’m applying to university tonight, the deadline for applications is coming up and I clearly took my time. Even though I know that the application part doesn’t mean much, it terrifies me. Growing up and moving on from high school is a bittersweet kind of feeling. As much as I’m excited to become more independent and in charge of my future, it’s something foreign to me. High...
It seems like forever since I’ve been on this. Sometimes I find myself feeling lost, not because I need tumblr but because I need to express myself. Lately I’ve noticed it’s extremely difficult for me to express myself in a way that allows me to feel understood. As hard as I may try, I can’t seem to explain to people what I’ve been going through. I try but there will...
