mindset

My brain goes through a million phases before an exam, changing colors and eras as rapidly as Taylor Swift’s costume changes. One moment it’s embodying the “yes, academic weapon,” mentality, and the next it decides, “nah, academic victim actually.”

If things go sideways, keep in mind that failure is normal. Let the pain come in and eventually it will go away.

There's a lot of controversy about whether tough love should be practiced or avoided, but I believe it has shaped me into the person I am today in the best way possible.
