Hey!

Long time no see!

First of all, best wishes for the new school year to everyone!!! you've got this 💓💓💓

Second of all, I'm planning on coming back very soon as I'm starting university and I like how posting on here gives me some accountability. I just wanted to see if this post reaches any of my current followers or if I'd be as good as starting with a completely fresh account (which sounds v e r y appealing atm).

So, if you see this, please interact in some way so that I know if my posts reach anyone 🥰💓

i’ve been so tired the past few days (past few weeks?) and the wheels are spinning sloooowly. got real tired of it this afternoon and started decluttering the house - my kitchen is lookin’ real good. these pictures are from this morning before i cleaned my office area…. and piled a whole bunch of who-knows-what on my desk to ‘deal with later’. thanks, past me! i am, in fact, currently typing this amidst a couple of towering paper piles! nice!

the reading situation / breaking that ‘no homework in bed’ rule yet again because -30 absolutely calls for drinking enormous cups of tea and reading jane austen in bed

Damn I want to get into bullet journalling again

[studyconfuoco]

It’s a perfectly rainy, gloomy day in california and the absolute perfect day to stay inside with a cozy cup of tea, get some studying done, and listen to some music. As much as I love going out with my friends, I have to say that I love being such a homebody. I’m hoping there are more fall days like this to come!

Now Playing:

Josh McBride- The Head and the Heart

Cold Coffee- Ed Sheeran

Coffee- Miguel

Welcome, Tara! 💕

So sweet of you to mention me 😊

hello~

i’m tara, and this is my first studyblr post! i’m a sophomore in university studying psychology and english. i am fluent in two languages (english and konkani) and i am currently teaching myself hindi and korean. i love reading, listening to music, painting, and watching anime (although its hard to do any of those things since i am now three weeks away from finals ugH).

the pictures above are from today! i was able to go to the library and look over my lecture notes from my abnormal psychology class. i also started to rewrite/revise them into a more organized (and colorful) final copy until i got kicked out of the library five minutes after it was supposed to close :o

i’m super excited to start my studyblr, please feel free to reach out to me! i would love to get to know people in this community!

Nr 15 feels like a personal attack

LIFE TIPS PT. I

if it takes less than two minutes, do it now

always carry a water bottle!! you’ll (obviously) drink more water but you’ll also save money on buying drinks when you’re out on hot days 

if you notice something you like about someone, tell them. genuine compliments are way too few and far between. 

when you meet someone, repeat their name back to them. it’ll help you remember it (bc i am the worst at zoning out and immediately forgetting someone’s name)

give yourself a time limit to get work done. you’ll do more up against a 30 minute timer than if you have all day to get something done

also: be specific with your goals. if you want it done by winter, say you’ll do it one november 15. it’s easy to let time slip by. 

no one’s forcing your friends to hang out with you. they want to be around you. don’t try to convince yourself otherwise. 

never under estimate the power of a hot meal if you’re feeling unmotivated. take a break and make a grilled cheese dude

always keep $20 in your car for emergences

have a binder/folder to keep all your financial/important documents together. even if you don’t organize them beyond that it’ll make them so much easier to find when you need them

don’t sleep w makeup on!! keep a travel size thing of makeup wipes by your bed for nights that you’re too exhausted to wash your face for real

if you’re studying/working and can’t focus, go outside and take a walk around the building. stare at the sky for a minute. it helps.

networking: when you meet someone, put some notes in with their contact. remembering their kids’ names will make you stand out

fold your clothes while they’re still warm + you won’t have to iron later

get that chair out of your room. we all know your dirty clothes are sitting in it more than you are.

instead, stick some hooks on your closet door for those sorta-clean, sorta-dirty clothes that you wanna wear again

keep a running list on your phone of songs you hear that you like, books you want to read, etc

write down all your friends birthdays!! 

if you can’t sleep, try to imagine something in great detail. design your dream house. plan your wedding. whatever makes you happy + relaxed

get dressed as soon as you get up, even if you aren’t going anywhere. it’s hard to feel productive in sweat pants.

if you don’t ask, the answer is always no

thrift stores are super trendy lately, but they really are great for finding high-quality clothing for cheap.

don’t read the comments section. especially if it’s something you actually care about.

fresh veggies go bad fast, so if you can’t get to the store often have a couple frozen bags of your favs on hand!!

also, pasta is crazy cheap and easy to make into a meal. add some olive oil and those frozen veggies and bam, grown up meal in no time.

be intentional with your friendships. if you want to see someone again, set a date instead of the old “let’s get coffee sometime!” that never actually happens

libraries exist!! and theyre fantastic!!! 

if you’re buying anything, always google “_______ coupons” while you’re in line. you can usually find one, esp at chains!!

if it’s not something you need, put it back and sleep on it. if you want it bad enough to go back and get it a day or two later, it’s (probably) worth the money.

also, think if you’ll enjoy it for the same amount of time if took to earn that money. doesn’t work with everything (food, experiences), but for things like clothes/technology/home goods, it can help you save some $$$

you don’t have to do something if it makes you unhappy. sure, there are times that you have to suck it up and power through, but 99% of the time you have to option to say no and get outta there. 

be kind. seriously you hear it a lot but it is so important.

Trying to learn that small fails don’t necessarily mean a ruined day. There is no such thing as a point of no return. You can always start over.

We got this. ✨
