Ideal work schedule:

I show up and am given a list of cognitively engaging but achievable tasks

I complete the list

I leave immedietly

Studyblr re-intro!

Hiya! I'm Mai (she/her) - I created my studyblr years ago to hold myself accountable for being productive and not slacking off with my studying. But I've not touched this account in years now so that's about how well that's gone.

I'm twenty one years old from the UK, and I'm in my second year of an English Literature degree. I can't lie, part of the reason I evaporated off your dashboard is because uni's been really hard. There are more tears, procrastination, breakdowns over the uncertainty of the future, hours scrolled through tiktok, stress meals eaten, and feelings of complete and utter displacement than I think people on studyblr let on. Going forward, I think I'm going to try to be more authentic (cringe sorry) and maybe that'll make me want to post more and in turn (we can only hope) be more productive.

I've also been trying to learn French since Lockdown, but am very much still a beginner (can just about order a meal), so if any langblr people wanna be friends I'm down to follow each other on Duolingo :) I say this but I've not been on Duolingo since the summer.

Quick-fire things about me!

I follow back from maiwritesstuff (boring formality but just fyi)

I love reading! Just not the stuff for my course - my favs are anything by Nabokov, Still Life by Sarah Winman, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, A Little Life by Hanya Yanighara, and probably a lot more than what springs to mind

One of my greatest passions in life is writing, hence why you should also follow maiwritesstuff. Not that I ever post on there either, but you can follow and then eagerly await my comeback

(I love parentheses)

I went to see Barbie 7 times in cinema and it was the greatest summer of my life

There is not a meal on earth that cannot be infinietly improved by a side of coleslaw

I'm a pisces!!

Another of my great passions in life is music! I listen to loads and loads of stuff and could ramble endlessly about most genres

I could ramble endlessly about most topics tbh

My favourite pokemon is Vaporeon

One of my New Years resolutions is to try and enjoy things without thinking too deeply about them ideologically (i am still very bad at this)

I love cooking!!! And baking!!! And one of the greatest freedoms of uni is getting to cook what I want when I want without having to battle with my younger brother for use of the kitchen. I also live RIGHT next to big tesco which is where most of my money goes :(

I'm currently procrastinating finishing an essay that's due tomorrow hahahahahaha

I'm boring and have nothing else to say :(

Just when you thought school exams were behind you but then you have to do training and exams at work too 🙃👍🏾

this site definitely doesn't allow you to paste the link to any article blocked by a paywall (say, a NYT article) so that you can read it free of charge! that would be illegal and would benefit broke college students too much. it definitely does not do that. promise.

When you are young, new in all aspects, you think you know how to love, but you don’t. We love at that moment with all the forces of our being concentrated in our heart, a heart that beats with restlessness, but in search of a north.

Cuando se es joven, nuevo en todos los aspectos, uno cree saber amar, pero no es así.  Amamos en ese momento con todas las fuerzas de nuestro ser concentradas en nuestro corazón, un corazón que late con inquietud, pero en busca de un norte.
