Winter Studying Challenge
7th January: Do you like the cold?
I think it can be refreshing and nice but I much prefer the feeling of coming in from the cold! I’ve been raking leaves in the garden this morning to get over what happened in Washington DC last night and now I’m moving onto my next essay. X Emily
26.5.19 I did my first exam! I didn’t say straight away because I was feeling a bit funny about it, but now I’m revising for my second and last ever exam of uni! Also who knows groovy chick?? My mum got me these amazing groovy chick socks. X Emily
It’s so important to keep study notes that might be useful in the future! Reblogging this because the notes I was making here, are the same notes I’m using for my current postgraduate essay.

16th January: scarves or sweaters? Oh that’s so hard! I think I prefer a really good scarf because you can look so cute in them, but they can get in the way! I like layers. This is the other angle of my kitchen. Sorry for posting so much in here and not my bedroom - I’ve found I’m more productive when my mum keeps me from being distracted.
Hey guys! As the beginning of the school year approaches, a lot of you are probably starting the college application proces. When I applied to colleges last year, I remember spending hours just looking for helpful resources and advice. So, I decided to make your life a little easier and create a masterpost of college app resources! Let me know if you have any resources you’d like to add to the list. I will also edit this post whenever I find new sources to add :) Good luck cuties, you can do it!
