hello everyone, welcome back! i don’t know where to begin but one thing is for sure - a lot of things have changed and so have i. if you don’t wanna know what had happened between this span of time, i suggest you to check out some of my other posts, it’s totally fine. but meanwhile, let me brain dump:
there is no specific reason why i stopped being active here. maybe, i had just grown out of it. oh, also, i was very busy, because i had my ICSE exams in the middle. why i came back is a rather silly story. this morning i was scrolling through tumblr (yes, i had made another account here) and suddenly i remembered that i used to have a smallish studyblr two years ago. i searched this blog and when it showed up, i felt very nostalgic because i used to give a lot of time and work to my posts and had such a lovely community of people sharing common interests. i used to love being here. and the truth is, is still do. i know, sounds very dramatic but after all the gush of feelings subsided, i immediately started to recover this blog (i had thought that there were certain email issues for which i wasn’t able to login, but there wasn’t ) and now, here i am.
in these two years, as i was saying, changes have happened. i used to be 15 years old when i had this blog and while i was scrolling through my tumblr posts made during that time, i am not joking, i was cringing at some of my posts, which only shows how much more i know now and how much i have changed. so you all can definitely expect new types of content from me now. i am not saying all my posts are shitty, just some parts of some posts are. now i can write about many other things by doing intensive research because now i have the scope that i had never before, and the internet had got definitely a lot more to offer now.
my name is Anwesha, i am about to turn 17 after a few days (its november now, if you are reading this in some other month hehe)
i am in grade 11, needless to say, and i am in the humanities stream (what i mean by this, to my non-Indian readers, is that here, we have to opt for either of the three streams or courses of subjects: science, which has physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology; commerce which has accounts, economics and stuff (you know subjects related to business management and accountancy, i don’t really know but you get the point) ; and humanities or arts which has sociology, political science, psychology, English, a 2nd language, economics, history and geography)
i am currently studying political science, economics, English, history, geography and Bengali as 2nd language
my favourite subjects are English and political science so far (it often changes hehe)
i am an INFP-T (i had to take the test literally now, cuz i forgot T T)
i am an Indian, if you haven’t noticed (it’s okay )
i aspire to be a professor in English
so i guess that’s it! coming back here is like waking up from a fever dream and i am sorry for my amnesiac brain as i have forgotten many of my fellow studyblrs and friends and i am REALLYY SORRY. i have to walk down the memory lane again but its very good to be back and stay tuned for more updates and contents

Career Changes and Uncertainty
For the past year, bordering on two, I have not been active on here except as a lurker, and even then, tumblr has been an app that takes up a little space on my phone. I don’t get on here ever anymore, and while I miss it, I also think that having a studyblr and buying into this idea that I needed to grind and grind and grind allowed me to pretend for too long that I still wanted to be a doctor. I was stuck on a career path that I knew deep down that I did not want anymore, and my decision to drop premed and focus on my biology degree without showcasing my notes or my desk or how productive I was allowed me to appreciate biology for what it is.
And now, with COVID and the fact that I have no idea whether I want to go into research or academia, I am heavily considering taking a gap year...or five. What if I spent my twenties as a research assistant in a lab and paid off at least some of my student loans and then go to grad school? Or what if I decide after I get my bachelors in biology that I love advocacy more than research and want to get a degree in social work so that I can work in the disability community?
All of that being said, I believe that maybe it’s a good idea to start being active on here again. I have so much love for this community and it did make me feel proud of the things that I was doing. So, hi tumblr. I’m back.
