Do you know some good movies that give you that cosy feeling and make you want to go study? Like Harry Potter for example
Firstly, I am so sorry for the lateness of this post. I really had to do some thinking when considering which movies are my “study inspiration.” So here are a few:
“Dear White People” dir. Justin Simien. (I like this one because as a person of colour, I identify with most of the character. This movie has a great message and is also set at a fictitious Ivy league school. It is one of those movies set in university that actually show people doing university things, like going to class and studying).
“Gilmore Girls” Season 4. (I am a big fan of Gilmore Girls especially this season because this is when Rory sets off to Yale. It is nice seeing that there is a a plit as well as a well read, motivated protagonist who is attending Yale. After waiting Rory do her thing, it always gets me ready to start my work).
“The Dead Poet’s Society” dir. Peter Wier (This one is a classic and set at a prestigious boarding school. Need I say more?)
“Goats” dir. Christopher Neil (This movie follows Ellis, a super smart 14-15 year old who moves away from home to go to boarding school. There is also some family drama that keeps things interesting).
“How to Get Away with Murder” (I am a big fan of law television shows, and watching law students do there thing really inspire me to get on my studying in hopes that I may end up going to law school some day).
“The Newsroom” (This is one of my favourite shows. It is set in a newsroom where everybody is bustling around working non-stop to get the news out there. I also really like how it uses real current events as the news that they are broadcasting).
“Liberal Arts” dir. Josh Radnor ( Although this movie does feature a “manic pixie dream girl type” (some may argue) it is great. It is about a man who goes back to his university and kinda re-lives his glory days in a sense. Just watch it, it is great and gets me think about how lucky I am to be learning so much. This almost always gets me studying).
“House of Cards” (I love this show because of the excellent writing and political badassary).
“The Re-Write” (This movies is exclusively focused on writing fiction. It always helps when I have to get my Lit homework done).
“Miss Representation” dir. Jennifer Siebel Newsom (I fabulous documentary about how women are treated in out media and in society at large. Seeing this always makes me want to work even harder to defy these stereotypes. Even if you don’t need to study, this is a great watch).
So, these are all I could think of a the moment. But if I think of more I will add some. And everybody, feel free to add your favourite movie/tv show study motivators too!
Studying session in the night 🌛 Sometimes I think that books are the best teachers.

I’m already done with all my reading and work for uni, so I’m studying some further texts on the subject. It’s great to feel like I have my shit together💪

When you do math, it gets a little messy.
It’s not “uncool” to be smart and prepared and passionate and dedicated. Ignore people who say otherwise.
I finally finished my final exams and also took the results , this year was a difficult year for me and also my last year of school which means next year i will be in university inshallah.
