surviving (hopefully) sixth form | year 12 journal

hi, i'm celia :smile:

i'm making this bog to hopefully procrastinate less, and to feel a sense of accomplishment when i tick off tasks :wink:

a bit about me:
- i love to read. it's probably my favourite thing to do, and i'm open to any recommendations at all!
- i play the flute and piano
- i may have a slight obsession with coffee and herbal teas (i'd love some blend recommendations too)

i'm taking :
Biology (OCR)
Chemistry (Edexcel)
Maths (Edexcel)
Psychology (AQA)

i'm hoping to study medicine in the future :smile:


hopefully i use this blog daily:banana:

also study aesthetic photos motivate me so much so i'll be posting a ton of those too
