It's a study space, but little study has been done.

10.12.21 | I’m tired but I’m taking things one step a time. I’ve been slowly preparing for midterms and I hope we all survive this in one piece! 🤧 for those whose midterms are upcoming, good luck!!! you got this!

also I started doing bullet journal again (a less aesthetic, but more simple one) and I love it. ✨

Yes I've a completely normal amount of obsession with books and plants

Today I decided to see this amazing bookfair right next to my university campus! I bought 4 books and I'm thinking of going there again :) . Yesterday I bought home some cute baby petunias. They're my favorite flowers!

How do you motivate your self to study?

Motivation is a fickle bitch that gets you drunk at parties and then leaves you to fend for yourself. What you need is self discipline, cause she's the good friend that makes sure you get home safe and drink enough water. That being said, here are my top three tips to get shit done:

Figure out your why. Why are you studying this subject? Why did you pick this degree? What do you want to do with this knowledge? Having your 'why' is absolutely crucial when it comes to motivating yourself to study. Let's pretend you want to become a history professor but right now, you're staring at this essay and you just really don't want to do it. Think about your 'why'. If you don't do this essay, then you won't get a good grade in this subject, which means you won't get a good grade in your degree, which means no masters/phD programme will accept you, which means that you will never ever ever achieve your dreams of becoming a history professor. Yes, it's pretty harsh, but so is reality. And do you really want to be sitting there in five years time, knowing that you could be living your best life right now if you'd only bothered to study for that one test? No? I didn't think so.

Timetables & Lists. If you're the type of person that timetables and schedule work for, then use that to your advantage. Plan out your ideal day, scheduling time to study, to work on assignments, and to do homework, but ALSO schedule time to eat, to take breaks, and to spend five minutes doing what you love before getting back into your school/college work. If timetables don't work for you (like they never work for me), then grab a pen and paper and divide it into three sections: Things I can definitely get done today, things I'd like to get done today, and things that can be done tomorrow. Write down all of your assignments or test topics you need to study for, and make your way through the list IN ORDER at your own pace. If you complete section 1, reward yourself by doing something you love, if you complete section 2, double that reward, and if you somehow manage to start and/or finish section 3, then take tomorrow off (if you can) because you're acing this!

Make it fun. Studying doesn't have to be boring. At all. Like. EVER. Even if you're studying for a super difficult test or you have no idea what to do for this assignment, you can still enjoy the process. Find out what makes you WANT to study your notes. Make it super colourful with highlighters and sticky notes, or make it super minimalistic with white paper and a black pen. Find out what makes it easy for you to learn things, and utilise that knowledge. You don't even have to make notes! You can use websites and apps like Duolingo, Quizzlet, etc. to learn things just as efficiently if you're not a note-taking person! In fact, I personally believe that the best way to study is to use the best aspects of all of these resources. I use Duolingo to learn German vocab, Quizzlet to learn verbs, and good ol' fashioned pen and paper (and a dozen highlighters) to learn grammar structures. Maybe you REALLY don't want to read this boring textbook? Well in that case, place a square of chocolate after each section to reward yourself, or read each paragraph and then challenge yourself to write out as many things that you remember on a blank piece of paper. Studying isn't boring. People make it boring. Don't be one of those people.

Week Two: do everything from week one + exercise and/or stretch everyday. Keep room clean/organized

What do you do to keep your body moving? What is the weirdest thing you’ve found while cleaning your room?

I slept much better this week - only went to bed late monday and friday night, but there was a concert (harry styles) monday and I was anxious bc of a competition that was on saturday. I only stretched about half the week, I just was never motivated enough. I kept my room clean though! That felt good. I also had a really short week and basically no hw, so the stuff I did have I did the night of. I also turned in. a college app tonight! To move my body, I usually dance when I’m at home, but I also play a lot of ultimate frisbee (my team got second in state last spring). And idk the strangest thing I’ve found.

this weeks goals are to lower screen time and read more. I want to finish at least two books (not including the one i am currently reading) this week. I have a 2 books that I am super excited to read, and one that I know will be a super quick read, so hopefully I can knock those out this week.

Week One: reset sleep and homework schedule. Go to bed by 10:15 at the latest, and do HW the night it was assigned

Which was the hardest day to go to sleep on time? What was the biggest project you finished this week?

I definitely had a rough start to this week. I only managed to go to sleep on time Monday night and yesterday. However, I did have an all day ultimate frisbee tournament and I was so exhausted that I just passed out when it was time to go to bed. I did manage to get all my homework done except for one assignment (essay) done the night it was assigned so success on that front. I overall had a pretty normal week maybe a 7.5/10. It felt way longer than it should’ve been.

This week’s overall goals are: stretch every day and keep room clean. My additional, more specific goals are to finish my college app for CU boulder and turn it in (due the 15th), and prepare for my piano duet competition that is next Saturday! I’m off to go pack my lunch and go to bed — daylight savings has me thinking its 9:46 instead of 8:46 lmao.

sometimes the modern art gallery you'll go to see won't impress you that much, but at least you went out with friends and there was a handmade rug with a xanax pill on it there that made your professor laugh so it wasn't a wasted experience

I’ve been super busy lately!

I’m studying for my SAT and ACT retakes in October ( I got a 1290 and 31 my first time but I really wanna do better!) and I’ve been writing application/scholarship essays as well! I still like to make time to read and (I’m currently going through The Picture of Dorian Gray) and even been painting some! The work you see on the right is my most recent and i think it turned out pretty cool :>

I hope you all are enjoying your summer <3

I just finished Wuthering Heights and God did I hate it. It was a five-star-read, nevertheless.
