For the “hi, I’m not from the US” ask set

Questions 5,15, and 18.

Hope you're having a good day/night ♡.

hi, i'm not from the us.

5. favourite song in your native language?

oh, this is a tough one. i find songs by dino merlin to encapsulate bosnian language so well that translations of them just can't hit the same. i would say one of such songs is ptica bijela ( white bird ).

15. a saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?

oh, there's a lot. the one meme from the top of my head is "i was in a rush" — žurio sam.

18. do you speak with a dialect of your native language?

i thought i don't, but then i moved out of my hometown and after meeting people from other parts of the country, i realised that i do 😆 i wouldn't say that bosnian has many gravely different dialects, but there are definitely some differences in the vocabulary or sayings or accent depending on the region you're from. just the other day we discussed how we use some terms a little differently depending on where we're from.

for the ask game - 11 and 28!

hi, i'm not from the us.

11. favourite native writer/poet?

hmm... i will be honest and say i never necessarily enjoyed reading bosnian-herzegovinian literature, so i don't have a favourite. but, mak dizdar had some nice poetry?

28. does your country have a lot of lakes, mountains, rivers? do you have favourites?

yes! we are very rich when it comes to the water. river neretva is very beautiful, but i also love una around bihać and sava around brčko. as for the mountains, i've been to majevica, and that was such a nice experience? i would like to do more hiking, to be honest.

becoming a better student ₊˚⊹♡

Prepare for your classes ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Wake up on time. We don't want to be stressed first thing in the morning, right?

Eat breakfast. So you will be able to better focus in class.

Assigned reading and homework. Make sure you are prepared for your classes!! :)

Review your notes. Going through some of your flashcards before class is really helpful.

Check your bag and charge your devices. Ensure you have everything you need: Books, homework, chargers, pens, water...

In Class ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Listen and pay attention. You can save yourself a lot of trouble by simply paying attention, trust me.

Take notes. My favourite note-taking method is the Cornell method; I can make a separate post on that!! <3

"Quick notes." If you struggle with note-taking, try taking quick and messy notes. You can clean them up once you get home!!

Engage. If you have any questions or don't understand something, make sure to ask!! Most teachers really appreciate students who speak up. :)

No distractions. Turn off your phone, no chatting, you'll be glad...

After class ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Finish your assignments as soon as you can. Go home, put on a cosy outfit, have a snack, and get working!! <3

Prepare flash cards. A great way of reviewing your notes, too... :)

Update your Study schedule. Write down any assignment and due dates, reading you must do, upcoming tests, etc...

Clean up your notes. Review them, highlight the important parts, and maybe even make them look cute!! :)

Don't avoid topics/Subjects you dislike. I know it is tempting, but you can't avoid them forever, so you might as well get them done

Structure and routine ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Goals and Priorities. Keep them realistic and manageable.

Time management. Having a set schedule makes studying less overwhelming; it takes some discipline but is so worth it!! <3

Develop a routine. Figure out what works best for you; I prefer studying in the morning or at night.

No "zero days". Even if you can only do a bit, do it!! NO. ZERO. DAYS.

Remember your goals. Dreams will keep you motivated; remind yourself of what you're working for!! <3

Self-care and balance ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Don't forget about your hobbies. You need to do things that make you happy, so make time for those things!!

Maintain a balanced diet. I know chocolates and junk are tempting, especially when you are busy studying all day, but you're not doing yourself any favours.

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. 8 Hours. Non-negotiable.

Exercise regularly. Even if it's just a walk, put on some headphones, listen to music, and give yourself a break. <3

Care for your social life. Reach out to your friends, make plans, and keep in touch; a good work-life balance is critical!!

Romanticising ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Study dates. Meet up with your friends at a cosy cafe, discuss your work, and have some fun!! Studying doesn't have to be all serious all the time ;)

Silly Pinterest boards. Visualising your goals will help you find motivation!!

Music to set the mood. I have a bunch of playlists on my Spotify that might help!! <3

Cosy sweater and candles. The cosy Rory Gilmore vibes haha...

Getting a coffee before class. A little treat before things get serious... Simple pleasures, you know? :)

Babes, The hiatus is OVER, and I'm finally back!! I got a lot of asks on studying, burnout, and school in general, so I thought, why not start off with a little student guide?? I Hope October has been kind to you, and school hasn't been too overwhelming (though I know it, unfortunately, has been for many of you), and I'm glad to finally be back!! <33

As always, Please feel free to add your own suggestions and tips in the comments!!

#i grew up listening to the horrific stories about things that were done to women and children in bosnia #and it really downs on you #how animalistic inhumane and straight up insane it is #of women abused and children tortured and slain like cattle #of men straight-up slaughtered in a genocide #and to just realise that all of it is happening actively as we speak #and there is so much proof of it literally out in the open and people do nothing #how do you justify that #how do you explain openly supporting this #may Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ help our brothers and sisters in palestine
