Studyblrs: Sorry for being inactive lately. I was so busy with the school work so I couldn't post anything lately. I completed entire lengths and breadths of quantum mechanics, cosmology; then revised entire organic and inorganic and did some physical chemistry; finished off with some calculus, number theory; also got bored and finished some neuroanatomy and histology; revised German, French and Spanish revision and wrote a thesis paper today and also did a half-marathon. Also, went to this cute cafe and I am so in love with it đ. Wbu?

What I Read This Month: February
As the end of the month is approaching, I thought it would be nice to wrap things up by looking back on the books Iâve read over the past four weeks. Letâs go!
âGirl, Interruptedâ by Susanna Kaysen
*tw- mental illness*
Whilst itâs only around 200 pages long, this book packs a punch. It documents Susanna Kaysenâs time spent in a mental hospital as a young adult in the 60âs, depicting the cruel misunderstanding and mistreatment of mentally ill youth. Iâve read a few books about characters with mental health problems, and this was by far the rawest, most vulnerable account Iâve come across. Gripping from the very beginning, I finished this after only three days
âBefore the coffee gets coldâ- Toshikazu Nawaguchi
Hm. I have very mixed feelings on this book. It tells the story of a mysterious coffee shop in Tokyo, where customers can request to travel back in time (permitted that they follow an irritatingly strict set of rules laid out by the owner). Split into four âactsâ, it focuses in turn on the journies into the past taken by four of the characters. I loved the second and fourth parts, but hated the first and third. There were some really touching moments of tenderness, but also a lot of missed opportunities and poor characterisation choices. Overall, a decent read, though! Iâve heard somewhere it was based on a play, which makes MUCH more sense. It would definitely be better performed on a stage
âHistory of Wolvesâ by Emily Fridlund
... Wow. This book shook me UP. Set in rural Minnesota, we follow Linda and her new neighbours, the Gardeners- a mother and her little boy, Paul. When Paulâs mother asks Linda to babysit, she doesnât think much of it and agrees to look after him, but soon discovers something is very wrong with the family when Paulâs father enters the scene. Fridlundâs style is just gorgeous, and she touches on some very deep, dark issues. I wonât go into further detail for fear of spoiling it, but if you read just one book this year- make it this one

Things To Quit
1. Trying to please everybody. Your life is about YOU.
2. Fearing change. Change is growth.
3. Living in the past. It doesnât matter anymore; focus on the now and the future.
4. Putting yourself down. You are worth it and you are special.
5. Overthinking. The only person who thinks that much about you, is you.

I want soft things. Soft things that are the same time dark. Like victorian dark, not morbid dark. I want to recieve mail. I want to wear soft socks. I want to live and work in a library all day. I want to know a library like the back of my hand. I want to be left alone but I also want to be noticed. I want to cram books in a bookshelf that cannot take more. Then because the bookshelf is full, I want to line books by the bed. Then the study table. Then the window. I want to walk in the mornings across mossy dewy cemeteries. I want my bag to be heavy with books. And a diary with messy writing. I want to press leaves between pages and find them years later. I want to wear flannel. And soft sweaters. I want to visit art galleries, museums. Antique stores. I want to fill my apartment with wooden furniture. I want plants. I want tea in the evening in my balcony as the sun sets and the city turns pink. I want to stand in the sun, taking in the morning light.
