My home office reveal! 🥰💖 Swipe all the way My home office reveal! 🥰💖 Swipe all the way to the end to see the before photo. What I did: 💖 Painted the wall behind my desk. 💖 Made (two rightmost ones with some inspiration from Etsy - not sure who to credit for the ideas) and bought (left one) posters, printed and framed them myself. 💖 Got new keycaps that let through more RGB light. 💖 Got a new office chair. 💖 Purchased chord organizing boxes to hide the mess of chords and cables. 💖 Got a desk lamp. ❓How do you like it?
I need to work a bit on this Sunday so I figured t I need to work a bit on this Sunday so I figured that I will at least make it cozy. 🥰
Welcome to your forever home, Nova. 🤍 Nova is Welcome to your forever home, Nova. 🤍 Nova is a 7-year-old Himalayan-Snowshoe mix girl. Her story is quite a mystery. The shelter thought that she probably grew up on the street because she has many scars to show for it. At two years old, she was taken in by a family, but unfortunately they gave her up because they had to move (poor Nova 😔). So, that’s how she ended up at the shelter again. She was a popular girl at the shelter. I applied to adopt her, but I was told that there were multiple people already interested and applying, so I did not have high hopes. But because Nova has had various health issues over the years (a surgery and some chin acne now), everyone suddenly lost their interest. So, the shelter contacted their backup applicant (me) and I immediately said yes! She’s been with me for less than 24 hours now, and she still spends most of the time hiding under the bed, but I love seeing her become more confident and exploring her new home. 🥰 I’m sure that we have a beautiful friendship ahead of us. ❤️ Welcome home, baby girl.
Good luck to all first year grad students! 🍀 S Good luck to all first year grad students! 🍀 Swipe to read some of my tips. 😌 ❓How are you, did you have a good first week at school? 😊
Happy September first! Here’s a throwback of me Happy September first! Here’s a throwback of me starting first grade in year 2000. This year, I’m starting my 22nd grade. 😅 I’ve been doing this for a while, haha.
My last night in Estonia. 😢 Thought that I wil My last night in Estonia. 😢 Thought that I will share some more photos of the national dress outfit from Rõngu. The details are just breathtaking. All the pieces are handmade with a lot of love and care. Every region in Estonia has their own unique national dress patterns and details. It sounds cliche, but the longer I’m away from home and living in other countries, the more I appreciate Estonia with all of its history, language, culture, and food. And of course the people as well. Every goodbye gets more painful. Until next time, Estonia. Järgmise korrani, Eestimaa. 💙🇪🇪🙏🏻
I love my country. 🇪🇪💙 Cherishing my last I love my country. 🇪🇪💙 Cherishing my last couple of days here before heading back to the U.S. to continue working on my PhD. Wearing a traditional dress from Rõngu in Southern Estonia (missing white knee high socks though 😊).
I opened my email this morning and started reading I opened my email this morning and started reading: “The COVID-19 pandemic brought challenges to academic life like none we have seen before…” Yes, absolutely. Go on. “BU would not have been able to weather the challenges of the past without you - our PhD students.” Aww, that’s so nice of them! “We are happy to be able to recognize and acknowledge the extraordinary effort over the past year with a $1000 COVID-19 Pandemic Grant to help cover unanticipated expenses during this national emergency.” Whaaaattt!?? 😮 That is really-really considerate of them. I mean, just the acknowledgement was great to read but to actually send financial support to all their PhD students? Amazing. ❤️ #proudtoBU #bostonuniversity
Ahhhhh, there’s 10,000 of you. 🥺🥺🥺 I’m not big on these numbers but getting to 10k (eventually) was my only goal with this IG page. I really wanted the swipe up feature in stories. 😂 And now I have it! I feel like this community has become a family of some sort. It’s really hard to live an ocean apart from my actual family, I often feel alone, so venting to you guys has often been so-so helpful. I also love learning from you all and sharing our respective grad school/career experiences. I’m really glad that you all have decided to follow me along this journey. Thank you!!! ❤️
