Truth is you will never go back to your old self, life is about redefining and relearning to live with all versions of yourself

The mist was giving a sort of primordial look to the landscape this morning.

It's been literally ages since I've last updated my blog, it started as "oh I'll post tomorrow" and quick enough tomorrow turned into 6 months later OPSSS

Anyways, considering how this blog is a sort of my uni days journal, I'd love to share what's been going on the past months 😌✨

1. PHARMACY INTERNSHIP ⚕️

In January I finished my 6 months internship, can't believe 900 hours passed just like that! It was a precious experience for me, for many reasons: I got to practice what I've been studying, I learnt so many new things, I had fun compounding medications, I got to meet people of different backgrounds and had some lovely interactions🥹💘 Despite all the tiredness, it was definitely a memorable time, I'll cherish it forever as a growth period and joyful memory.

2. FINISHED ALL MY EXAMSSS

I still can't really fathom this. After endless studying hours, sleepless nights, a thousand caffeinated beverages, a gazillion of written notes and a few lost highlighter... I PASSED ALL MY 5 YEARS COURSES' EXAMS. 🎉🎁

(I'll make a quick recap post of all the exams I had recently)

3. Starting working on the my thesis by joining a research lab in my department.

The beginning wasn't smooth at all, my schedule has been rearranged due to some issues, I felt so much frustration as I couldn't start right away but had to wait until a vacancy was open. Consequently, my graduation date has been postponed 💔 This was hard for me to accept, but I'm coming to terms that it's not the end of the world, I'll figure it out and I'll be alright😇

perhaps the antidote to overconsumption is thankfulness. I am thankful for one notebook at a time and I am thankful for the coffee and tea I have at my house and I am thankful for the books I havent read yet and im thankful for these clothes I can make so many outfits with

and maybe real success looks like

a regulated nervous system.

not comparing yourself to others.

a kind inner dialogue.

being able to show up for yourself.

being able to let go.

knowing your own worth.

having authentic connections.

having good boundaries.

living a life that makes sense to you.

study hard. no matter if it seems impossible. no matter if it takes time. wake up early and start studying for your future. just remember that the feeling of success is the best feeling in the world.

Spent the morning learning W-Wörter, Personal Pronomen, and das Präsens. I took a little mental health break in the evening 🌆

I lovelovelove seeing high schoolers study chemistry with their notes and textbooks and all, it's just so cute. Not in a patronizing way! In a "I was there too once and I've come such a long way" way and in a "there's still so much ahead of you to learn and figure out and I hope you can enjoy the process" way and in a "chemistry is beautiful, I'm glad you see it too" way
