modern light academia

~ steam rising off a freshly brewed cup of tea held in careful hands;

~ sunbeams streaming through library windows, light catching the swirling dust from ancient books and glinting off computer screens;

~ a whiteboard on the wall covered in plans and deadlines for the week written in a marker that’s running out of ink;

~ careful pencil notes in neat handwriting, sketches and diagrams around the edge of creamy-coloured notebook paper;

~ study apps organised on a homescreen, alphabetically or by colour;

~ headphones left on a desk, playing classical music softly, just loud enough to hear.
