Introduction

People decorate their room serving 2 purposes: for other to see or to reflect on themselves. Hence, you can see clues telling who the person is by looking at their bedroom.

Context

Let’s give you more context on my thought process on analyzing this pic.

Books and calendar leaving as they are, can be interpreted as self-affirmation, the OP decorate this to reflect on herself.

However, I want you to pay attention to 1 detail, 1 missing detail: the chair.

The chair was moved completely out of the pic, can’t imagine OP works on this table without a chair. With this, we can conclude that Op also wants people to see what she’s seeing.

With that in mind, we can deduce that she wants people to see her as a scholar, a reader with all the books taking space in the pic.

The calendar is a more subtle detail that the OP might not intend to show (not a big deal if it’s shown). So, this piece of information can be interpreted as self-reflection unless there’s more data.
