I tried that since starting college and it’s proven to transform me. I’m changing in ways I never pondered and I’m happy partly, only partly in that I still have a LOT of personal modifications to achieve.

shoutout to all the people with mental disorders. you all are so so strong and amazing. i may not understand everything that everyone goes through & sometimes your feelings may be misunderstood. but i do know that you’re going through something, as ‘small’ as they may seem to people & you are valid. you’re feelings are valid. you’re worth it. you’re not defined by your problems. we will all stand by you & help you through it. it’s super hard & may seem impossible to overcome.. but know that it is possible. you will be okay. no mater how long it takes, no matter how darn clichè this sounds, just know that you can do it.

New Studyblr!
Hi, my name is Sumana and I’m a rising senior (class of 2018). I’m 16 and from New Jersey. My dream is to one day become a successful doctor and I’m prepared to work really hard to make that dream come true.
My inspirations are Hermione Granger and Rory Gilmore!
Anyway, I made this studyblr because I’ve always followed study blogs on my other account but I really wanted to be a part of it. I find that this community is super motivational and can help me build good habits.
Some of my interests include (not limited to): bullet journals, stationery, etc; learning languages, coding, science, music, photography, netflix, cooking new things, traveling, and books.
Many of the studyblrs that have inspired me include: @studyign, @areistotle, @studypetals, @etudiance, @focusign, @elkstudies, @emmastudies, @obsidianstudy, @noteriser @scholarly @equaticns & many more…
Please reblog or like if you are a studyblr so I can follow you!!

A reminder that all the best people were once beginners. If you want to become really good at something, keep practicing even when you don’t see progress immediately. You can’t see it, but you’re improving a little bit every time you practice. Keep going and one day you’ll be amazing at it.
