Hi! I’m 18, and I just finished my first year of college in the design department. I live in a small apartment with two roommates who are always leaving dirty dishes in the sink. In my free time, I create digital illustrations in Procreate and post them on social media. I dream of illustrating women books someday and spending a couple of months in Lisbon. I’m also a total night owl—I just physically can’t fall asleep before 3 a.m

— the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the morning (even if I drink it at 2:00 p.m.) — rain, when I can sit by the window with a blanket and a sketchbook — lo-fi and indie-pop playlists playing in the background — long, aimless walks, with headphones on, my mind wandering — when someone sincerely compliments my drawings

— voice messages longer than 30 seconds — when people chew with their mouths open at the table — Mondays and early classes at 8:30 — the phrase “You’re a girl, so you should…” — stuffy public transportation in the summer, when everyone is packed in tight
