This morning I start with a revise of the last topics of Embryology.

I feel the exam getting closer and I can’t go on postponing things.

After that I need to finish another chapter of Histology.

I swear that when I’ll finish this exam I’ll throw a party 😩

Apparently my desk is a comfy spot for napping.. 🐾🌻

[the-remaining-half]

made a study den and had the most productive day of my life. I never thought it was humanly possible for me to study this much in one day.

Watching my fav drama for an hour at 2:00 am after studying the whole day felt like the best and the sweetest reward ever!! ���🥂

I feel so motivated after such a good day to make today amazing too! 💕

I think I felt the saying… you can only feel confident when you keep the promises you make to yourself

what I mean by “all the time caffeinated”

[rainyblazepost]

Remember why are you doing it.

Instead of focusing on the present, for once allow yourself to look to the future without anxieties and fears. Look to the future like a child and allow yourself to dream for a little longer.

The world now may seem against you, but remember that you will get that place that you deserve.

No matter how many exams you have to do, or how many people will try to stop you from reaching your dreams. If you want it, you’ll get it!

So grit your teeth and keep going, I believe in you!
