To everyone who's studying with this music:
Checklist:
ā¢ A bottle of water, at least 1liter. Your brain works better if it has enough water and drinking helps you to concentrateš§
ā¢ Your charger. You sometimes don't even notice that your device's battery is going down, so better have it plugged in all the timeš
ā¢ Your headphones. You will be able to focus more with headphones, because it blocks background noises. Also, if it's a late night study session, you won't wake up anyoneš§
ā¢ a tea or coffee. Coffee keeps you awake, green or black tea can make you feel more awake as well.ā
ā¢ Your study/work stuff: your laptop/tablet/phone , a few pens, paper or whatever you need.āØ
ā¢Anything else you could need, what about a heat pad, a blanket, a good lamp, your pet so you have a study buddy š
Reminder:After an hour, you should stand up and walk a bit around. Better stop the music or put on different music for the break. Open your window, even if it's cold outside. Fresh air will make it better, trust me.
You could also lay your head down on your desk for ten minutes and listen to a podcast. Or, if you have to read a book, listen to the audiobook of it. You can also listen to the audiobook while doing another thing, that's even better than listening to music while reading the book.
I hope y'all had a good day, if not, that's okay too. Remember to take care of yourself and try to get some sleep tonight š“š§ø
(This comment isn't originally mine, but I think it can help a lot of people :))

Beth's Theme ( 12:42 ) annihilates my soul every time. Very rarely has a piece of music ever perfectly captured the things I feel, think, and experience. It's so beautiful but so sharp.

I genuinely believe this is what allowed me to motivate myself to revise and pass my mocks. I will be forever grateful. I still listen now to study and feel. The peices have such emotion. Honestly, this is what allowed me to love classical music again. It helps me feel again. It gives me safe to safely tjink and reflect without attacking myself. I can laugh and cry and dream. Thank you from thr bottom of my heart. Thank you <3

āSeniorā; I love the look on his face when I call him that. Today too, I ask for his help with the translation of a Greek passage. He gently puts down his quill as he takes the book from my hand and begins to look through it. I get lost in my own observations as he works; his little head tilts when he got stuck, his furrowed eyebrows as he concentrated and pursed lips whenever he made a mistake and had to scratch it out. I was never good at art, but I could always draw him in my mind. His forever pushed back hair, thick eyebrows, sharp nose, big lips and a neutral jawline. Overall he had an earthy look that I could never get over.
Once again, I am brought out of my thoughts by the extended scratch of his quill; he was done.
āSo, is there any paragraph you are still having difficulty with?ā
I quickly look through before he catches on I was never paying attention to begin with; I inquire about a few more lines before thanking him and returning to my place. You might have guessed it already, but I am not as bad at Greek as I let on. I always hide my Greek test scores from him in case he catches on. My friends donāt understand why I do what I do. Why not just go for it? Because I like it this way.
What? Canāt a girl be a little greedy? Besides, my little pretense of being dumber than I actually am isnāt hurting anyone and especially not him.
Him though, he was the finest guy Iād ever seenā¦ okay, no of course he wasnāt. He was nowhere close to perfection. It was obviously visible in my eyes too and yet I felt drawn to him for some indistinct reason. He was certainly not a bad person but even if he was I know Iād still hover around him. Perhaps hover around him and try to drag him away from every wrong thing he itched to do. I just know thatās be it. That Iād be blaming the heavens for not letting me meet him earlier, before this toxic person. That I shouldāve been there to drag him away. I just know nothing much wouldāve changed even if he was a different person.
He spent a lot of time doing Calculus. He would gladly take on problems of others and try to solve them himself and would visit the library to borrow certain books in case it was something he hadnāt come across yet. I was starting to get jealous of Calculus. Every time he got stuck on a problem I couldnāt help but get to the library earlier, fish out the book and bookmark the certain page before leaving quickly so he couldnāt catch on.
I had already taken Calculus last year and passed with a good enough score but when I saw him as the Calculus Professorās assistant this year I couldnāt help but enroll myself in again. This of course gave me more excuses; inquiring him about every slightly complicated looking thing. Itās a miracle when the Professor makes no comments about me not strutting to the front of the class every time she asks a student to solve something and only throws a few raised eyebrows my way every now and then when I ask him questions.
It takes until the very last class right before the midterm for her to tell me to stay back after class hours. āSamuel huh?ā
I raise my eyes to meet hers and am greeted by an unknown glint in them, an almost knowing look. I manage out a āYeahā before she nods curtly and turns at her heels not before pausing to put a hand on my shoulder; āAs long as you make sure to excel at your examsā before walking away briskly.
I am left standing bewildered as I begin to take in what just happened. So far Iāve only been able to keep up with my faƧade of being a junior only because she stayed quiet about me, not to like brag or anything but I was her assistant last year and besides it wouldnāt hurt to actually appear for the exams again.
Except it did, just a little though. I sat there staring at that 2 mark question itching to solve it even as I could already solve it in my head and just needed to write it down. I am not used to this at all; holding back at the slightest. Instead I find myself cracking my knuckles as the paper is taken away.
I met him right outside, observing the question paper: how typical I think to myself.
From his relaxed eyebrows alone I could tell he did well. I walk away satisfied.
I was right. He came first by two marks. Lord, we wouldāve been tied and he wouldāve stopped giving me lessons. After catching up he asked me where I messed up. I thought I saw something flash in his eyes as I answered but then it was gone as soon as it came.
A strange thing started to occur as I studied by myself in the library for my thesis that I had to submit by the end of the year. Iād get up for a moment or so to fetch something and come back to a steaming cup of coffee with no one around; I mostly studied around dawn.
I first thought of not accepting them but then it reminded me of my little thing for Samuel and I ended up drinking them. I was never a big coffee enthusiast but I soon started taking a liking to the creamy and rich texture.
Few days later a printed message appeared on the cup sleeve : I donāt know how else to help.
I left the cup sleeve on the desk that day with a mini smiley scrawled at a corner.
Meanwhile things were still the same with Samuel but it was finally starting to take a toll on me. By the time I arrived for the fifty minute lecture Iād be sleep deprived, too sleep deprived to ask him anything barely taking in my surroundings.
Then on a random day he tugged my sleeve to stop me after class. I could barely keep my eyelids open as I looked at him with confusion. He quietly handed coffee in a thermal cup. I wordlessly took it with a nod of appreciation as. Upon taking I sip I nodded the sticky note with a printed message: āCan you let me take it from here?ā
I stare at it for a moment and then at him still at my side. Realization sinks in a second late. I quietly look at him as he lifts his hand slowly holding onto something small. Itās a bunch of small plastic bookmarks with smiley faces on them. They look like the ones I used-
God Iāve been stupid. I reach for them but he raises his hand above my reach. āAlso the question you left was the topic you always asked me to explain. Senior, could you answer my question now?ā
I am quite taken aback by that one word and Iām sure it shows even though I try not to. I quietly takeout a pen, scribble something on the cup sleeve, separate it and give it back to him before turning to walk away from him to finish the rest of my coffee.
I havenāt gone far but I am called from behind; āSeniorā
I get chills at that. I turn to Samuel, no I turn to a smiling Samuel holding the cup sleeve with an identical smiley on it next to his text.
Nah, I think to myself as I take in all of him. Heās too pretty to be compared to my scrawls.

Here the first paragraph of a story I'm writing for fun:
She was... captivating, for lack of a better word. I saw her, dancing alone. She had olive skin, charcoal hair, with gray eyes and an emerald green dress to compliment it all. The ballroom was old, abandoned, but looked as if there had been feasts with the king just a few days ago. She stopped dancing, and stared at me. Suddenly those gray eyes lit up with excitement. She beckoned me over, I knew she wanted to dance without her even saying a word. I grabbed her hand, then she led the way as the dance began.
