The Secret History
“Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.”
“I prefer to think of it, he had said, as redistribution of matter.”
“It is is better to know one book intimately than a hundred superficially.”
“In short: I felt my existence was tainted, in some subtle but essential way.”
“Anything is grand if it's done on a large enough scale.”
“Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly the ones i did not.”
“There is nothing wrong with the love of Beauty. But Beauty - unless she is wed to something more meaningful - is always superficial.”
Totally didn't make this like a year ago but posting it just now what definitely nott

had some classes today at school and had a lovely walk afterwards. after a facetime with my boyfriend i was ready to take on my assignments 💪🏻🤩
i finished a lesson of AP english language
i finished an assignment and a quiz for AP calculus
and ate a girl dinner (bread with butter, the ultimate combo)
21.11.2024 | today was ap lang!
i skipped school because of some document stuff and got some extra time to work on my research assignment for this class (which i was about a week late with), so that was great.
there is very little until my final exams for this semester, both for my school curriculum and ap courses. hoping to push through, but it will be a fast paced month.
hoping to share this journey with everyone! how was your day? i’d love to see some fellow studious people :)
13.11.2024 |
✅ chain rule review and exercises
✅ implicit differentiation review and exercises
✅ submitted an assignment for calculus class
today was all about calculus and i did around seven hours of math
to be honest, i had ap lang stuff to do but i didn’t get around to doing them because, you know, once that math hole sucks you in you can’t get outta there
but it was fun because i finally felt like i regained my confidence academically after rotting in bed because it’s fall break 🤩
anyways, i hope i’ll be productive tomorrow so i can post on here haha. i feel very unproductive when i don’t post here lol
04.11.2024 | let me tell you, my calc professor did not really let me get an extension for my assignments despite me telling him it was exam season 😭
so it is on guys (to be honest i understand nothing because i didn’t have time to prepare for the assignment. hmu if you are good at implicit differentiation).
other than that i will go over a few topics for my history exam tomorrow. rip. wish me luck 😔😃

03.11.2024 | took some in depth-notes for my upcoming history and biology exams.
learning the history of the ottoman empire is almost as easy as learning the whole structure of the eye 😂
still going because i need academic validation💪🏻😭
hi everyone! my name is sabs and you have found my study blog. i couldn’t think of a better first post other than to show what’s inside of my schoolbag!
it is exam season now and my schedule has been hectic so i wanted to make this blog to inspire myself and everyone and to be motivated!
my bag is a messy place. but to list everything in the photo:
pencil case — has every writing necessity ever. it’s not even branded, it’s an amenity pouch from a plane.
jane eyre. i recently started reading and i love it, already a quarter through!
my crusty folder that has stuff that will probably bend and tear in the mess that is my backpack.
AP calc notebook where i take all the notes i need for the class
this usually changes but today i had my biology textbook.
my trusty planner that gets me through the scheduling issues when i am loaded like a camel with work that needs to be done.
card holder, as i mostly only use card instead of cash.
wired headphones from apple. the sound quality is immaculate, plus it looks more studious in my opinion haha. biased much? but they were like twenty bucks and i can never go without them.
TI-83 Plus for calc class
gum because stinky breath is a no go
wet wipes because i have to have clean hands at all times or i will freak out
spare hairties
keys with a small swiss knife from the brand columbia (awesome little thing that has so many uses)
hand cream from neutrogena — thick and moisturizing
last but not least: tiny box with band-aids and painkillers, just in case
more to come soon!
-"Gardening with the Son I Will Never Have", Ocean Vuong, Burnings
You don't like the bitterness of coffee until you are with the person with whom you have spent eternities together in the past, so the realization hits that it's the only pathway to your memories of childhood.
So you sip the bitterness calmly in hope of turning back time and meeting the daffodils you once grew together in your garden of innocence.....

No, I can never fall in love with you again cause I never fell out of love
I think everything I've done in life has been in an effort to be loved more
i love you fairy tales i love you folklore i love you myths i love you stories as old as humanity itself i love you oral traditions i love you characters carried through time on my ancestors’ tongues i love you story i’ve seen a million ways and want to see a million more i love you archetypes i love—
notes from underground is js dostoevsky yapping and i love that!!
i am my father's daughter, of course i'm gonna suppress my rage and grief till it bursts and leaves everyone with my ashes
susan sontag’s writing on writing, from her journals
i don't know who needs to hear this, but guilt, self-hatred and shame are not sustainable sources of growth and healing. you can't hate yourself into feeling better, or being better. you can't repeatedly punish yourself for your flawed humanity and expect wholesome results.

tysm for posting such masterpieces, ily 🫂
The best of this life is trapped in the fabrics of my friends' couches, in my mothers sheets, in my childhood bedrooms curtains, and in every stitch sewn in my lovers shirts
