I moved into my dorm at the University of Pittsburgh on the 15th! I want to be as organized as I can so here’s my first real attempt at a bujo. We shall see how well I am able to keep up with this. The spreads are simple and I messed up in a few places but I’m very happy with it as it works well for me so far!
salutes all our naturist/nudist brothers who allow their body hair to grow, naturally.
Bears, brown bears, polar bears, cubs, otters…no, I’m not describing a visit to the local zoo. Rather, what I am doing here is sharing a dictionary of the many adjectives used to identify the different types of men belonging to the same and dual gender loving Bear Culture. A community…
This month is ending and along with it, the last days of the 2014 Summertime. The temperatures outside are moderating and the hours of daylight are shrinking. Both sure signs that autumn is approaching and sooner than most of us like. We’re powerless to alter the seasonal changes or to halt the progress of the months throughout the calendar. The only option…
My simple online class (+ work) setup for the past couple of months! It may not be super ~aesthetic~ like the ones we see online but it is pretty functional and I get lots of work done here which is the most important. I wasn’t supposed to make this video but I really loved this desk so I decided to document how it usually looks like before I slowly remove all the items and bring them over to where my parents are.
A good way to effectively write your notes is through the Cornell Note-taking System. If you want to know more about Cornell Notes, I made a whole video about it: I highly suggest checking it out.
Fun fact: Classic books like Little Women and Frankenstein have expired copyright protection so they are now part of the public domain. Meaning, you can read and download all the classic books for free on the web! You can directly search for them on Google, Amazon, or check out https://www.gutenberg.org
I realized I wasn’t clear when I said I am not a fan of music. I enjoy listening to music! It’s just that I don’t sing, dance, or play musical instruments. Anyways, in this video I shared my top 5 favorite fiction stand-alone books (at least, so far!)
Meant to post this in October but I forgot to queue it haha anyway I finally finished my embroidery project which took me months to finish, mostly because of my overall lack of motivation. But hey, small wins I guess. Also, Covid cases here in Switzerland are steadily rising which means no onsite classes until further notice and masks are mandatory basically everywhere but other than that, there will be no lockdowns (at least not yet) which a lot of European countries are doing right now. Hopefully, it will all get better just in time for the holidays *fingers crossed*. Hope y’all are safe wherever you are.
