I really hope I’ve been an inspiration to many of you and I mean I really want to see more people pushing themselves to go to bigger and better places. I also really want to see more of our Muslim girlies strive for the best and achieve their wildest dreams. ✨
Thank you for supporting me on this journey 💕
You all deserve the world 🥺
What I’m studying in university: chemistry (4years)

If anyone is applying to university I made a personal statement guide which is really helpful for shaping and writing your personal statement. I’d love for you to check it out ❤️ www.etsy.com/listing/1293831237/personal-statement-guide?click_key=01f4534a202d10f38cc04cbd12cbfd507654b56a%3A1293831237&click_sum=d440fa87&ref=shop_home_active_2&crt=1

But literally she is so limiting and it just drains my energy anyways your vedios r the ones. That keep me going ❤
