Part 3 | Overthinking

 So here i am. staring at my phone, wondering what i should have for breakfast. but also wondering if i should even eat breakfast at all. because like… who’s got the time for breakfast when there’s the existential dread of being an adult? let's start with the basics: what’s for breakfast? should i make pancakes? but i don’t have the energy for pancakes. maybe cereal? but do i even have milk? ok fine, toast? wait, do i even have bread? …and then there’s the money issue. my bank account says, “we’ve been here for a while,” and i'm like, yeah, but not in a good way. i try to budget—i swear i do. but then i remember that one online shop had a 50% off sale, and suddenly, my money's gone faster than my will to get out of bed. and then i think, i should probably do something productive today. maybe read? but my attention span is shorter than a TikTok video. maybe exercise? but… uh, no. let’s be real, my body’s not feeling it today. staying in bed and scrolling through memes seems ...

Part 2 | Thesis, Tears & Too Many Tabs

hi. it's me. your local tired student. and guess what? thesis is done. done. (yes, i’m still in shock) there were moments i really thought i wouldn’t make it. not to be dramatic—but like... dramatic. things that happened: cried in front of my laptop (multiple times) rewrote chapter 1... four times lived off caffeine and sheer panic made 20+ drafts of one table googled “what if your thesis sucks but you tried” at 3 AM i wasn’t always productive. some days, i opened the doc, stared for two hours, then closed it. some days, i wrote one paragraph and felt like a genius. it was all messy. inconsistent. full of doubt. but somehow, progress still happened. my brain during the process: “you got this!” → “no u don’t.” “ok one last edit.” → rewrites entire section “this is nonsense.” → “but like... academic nonsense?” and now i’m here. ready to register for defense. still tired. still recovering. but proud. of every breakdown, every tiny win, every night i didn’t q...

Just Yapping

 hi again. so… i disappeared.   not for anything dramatic.   just naps, uni, and the occasional spiral of "i’ll write tomorrow".   spoiler alert: i didn’t. the guilt? oh, it visited.   but so did stress, deadlines, and that weird craving for instant noodles at 2 AM. i missed this space though—this lil bubble of thoughts and overthinking.   i missed writing without pressure.   i missed talking to the void. anyway, life update? — semester's been chaotic.  — discovered a new song track and cried a lil.   — my cat knocked over my coffee (again).   — i started journaling offline too (pen hits different sometimes). so here i am.   writing again.   not promising consistency, but promising honesty. thanks for staying.   if you did.   if not, hi future me. i hope you’re still writing. — Love, Naz
