2020 Quarantine Challenge: Week 1
Mon - Have you made a study schedule to help you study at home?
I have not! I am a list person, so I like to make a list at the beginning of my week with all the due dates, add numbers to indicate an order of importance, and then adjust as I go along. I use GoodNotes for this, since I have committed to going paperless/electronic this semester. My lists look really messy by the end of the week, with scribbles and annotations all over them, but it helps calm the chaos that is my mind!
Tue - How are you being taught your lessons? (google classroom, teams etc.)
My two traditional lectures are being carried out in Blackboard Collaborate. My laboratory is somehow being performed via a text chat that the students must log into in order to get the material... it’s a little pointless, but the lab is supplemental to one of my lectures so I’m mostly concerned about my grade. My one online class has gone mostly uninterrupted, excluding the week the entire school shut down, and it’s mostly reading and self-teaching.
Wed - What’s your favourite study snack?
I like anything that won’t get my hands dirty, because I don’t like getting my devices (and paper, when I was paper-based) messy. I also tend to not go for things that require utensils as that takes away from my studying.
Despite these preferences, I often find myself neglecting to snack during study time because I do get invested in my courses. I ALWAYS have a drink with me, usually a sweet iced tea of sorts, and will nosh on something on my breaks or when I go downstairs to refill my drink.
Thu - How are you keeping active?
My boyfriend and I like to take long walks to the dumpster and mailbox after he comes home from work at night. Besides that, I haven’t been very active I suppose. I take the stairs in my house more frequently than ever now that I’m home so often! I’ve mostly been focusing on eating less portion-wise and healthier foods.
Fri - What is your favourite subject/topic to study at the moment?
I find biology to be the most fulfilling of my classes. I have really been able to see the effects of my study habits this semester and due to that I enjoy it more!
Yesterday I participated in a discussion forum in my religions class (that started this week) and was able to compare defining religion to defining a mental illness. I was really invested in the entire discussion and honestly anticipate loving this class.
Sat - Where in your house is your favourite place to study?
I prefer to study in my room, at my desk. I use my desk almost exclusively for school-related tasks (and the occasional video game, as I keep my laptop there), so my desk is like a little study haven for me!
Sun - What are you doing to relax?
My boyfriend and I had a Frozen marathon on Wednesday! Since then, we’ve watched a Disney movie every night while using our phones, cuddling, or doing our own crafts. I also find our walks soothing. Spending quality time with him makes me feel really good, so I aim to just sit and talk with him for at least 30 minutes without distractions.
I’ve also been picking up a lot of housework, which isn’t exactly relaxing, but soothes my anxiety. I also have been napping when I get tired! I will be returning to video games in the coming weeks, as I fixed my WiFi, ordered a WiiU, and may purchase Animal Crossing for my boyfriend’s Switch!
Aaaaaa I had so much fun reflecting on my week and my habits! Thank you @myhoneststudyblr for coming up with such thought-provoking questions (or at least I took them as such)! I’m not sure if I will do this as a weekly post or occasionally post daily ones with photos attached... tune in next week to find out. 💕

7.20.19 | Summer B is almost over!
Hey friends! Just a my simple desk spread while I was doing some close reads and writing an essay on a poem. Summer B is over halfway over and I’m finishing up my final project and essay for my 2 classes. 6-week classes are crazy! I’m actually doing pretty okay over here.
Hope all is well! ❤️

8.9.19 | The day I started to seriously study for the SAT
So it turns out I have to take the SAT to transfer to a couple of institutions. So while Summer B went well and I have a few weeks off, here I am studying to take the first of what is likely to be multiple SATs this fall.
A college student’s work is never done! Cheers!

When you get this, if you want, answer with five things that make you happy, then send it to the last ten people in your recent activity list. Have fun!!! 😊
Aaaa thank you! I’m FINALLY getting around to this!
1) my dogs (should they count as 2??)
2) tea of all varieties! Warm tea in the chilly A/C, iced tea on a hot day...
3) rewriting my notes and making them pretty... doesn’t happen often but it’s so satisfying!
4) music that makes me feel good - lately that means pop punk!
5) vanilla ice cream - simple yet delicious

7.2.19 - Thanks IKEA!
Hi all! I’m slowly getting back into my good study habits after a 2 (-ish) month break. I ended my Summer A psychology course and this week is the first full week of Summer B. I’m taking a US History-based interdisciplinary studies course for my honors component and composition ii. These are 6-week courses so it’s crunch time!
Aside from that, I’m doing a mass declutter and organization of my home, starting with my room. This desk is replacing a vanity that I’d like to sell. My vanity always looked cluttered with makeup (no matter how I organized) and I was using it less and less. With only two drawers and a fold-down mirror, it couldn’t be used as a desk if I wanted to, so I hit up IKEA for something more useful.
I’m thinking about doing a desk tour once I get used to the system and tweak it a bit. Look out for that! :)

My professor brought us chocolate-covered marshmallows because we had class the day before a major holiday. :^) It really made my day more bearable, and this professor is so kind it makes me smile.

1.3.19 | Prepping for the upcoming semester!
Here’s to Composition 2 going well for me. I’m hoping to improve my writing skills but I really want an A, I feel that the two goals hardly coincide. So I did a (messy) mind map of how to write a decent essay!

Last night I finished my thesis defense essay and tonight I did the abstract and outline for it!!! So happy to have such a big part of my grade (20%!!!) mostly out of the way.
The professor said if we turn it in by Halloween, he’ll give it back to us to revise and redo. I’m confident in my paper but there’s always the nerves deep down that I’m not that good. Still, it’s a big weight off my shoulders.
Join me next week while I write my book review before the early submission date!! I have 9 days to do it!

12.30.18 | Prepping for the SAT.
Hi friends! I went quiet for a few weeks to spend time on myself and take a much-needed brain break. For the last almost 3 weeks I’ve only reviewed for about 2 hours for one of my upcoming classes.
Today, that changes! I have to take the SAT (and maybe even the ACT) in 2019 if I want to get into a good school for my 4-year and beyond. Even though I’ll be a transfer student, they want these scores. So here I am!
Also, my classes start next week so you’ll start seeing more of me!!

It’s okay to not be okay.
Hey guys. I know this isn’t my usual post but I’m feeling down on my luck today, so here it is.
It’s okay to not be okay. You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be the best. Maybe you got a B. Maybe they broke your heart. It’s okay.
Give yourself some slack. You’re a human being. You deserve some peace of mind. Allow yourself to breathe. Please.

10.28.18 - 29th?
This is my last-minute statistics study guide for standard normal distributions, real distributions, central limit theorem, and population proportions (population means are on the other side!) It’s really just everything I want to remember, I’ll be reading it over and over tomorrow before the test. Each test is 20% of my grade so I don’t really have a lot of room to err.
But for now, goodnight tumblr!!

Hello friends!!! Long time, no post! My semester is coming to a close and I’ve been winding down as I feel very little need to revise. That’ll probably change this week, but we’ll see. Anyways, here are some floral pics to accompany this life/school update.
This week (Wednesday) marks the beginning of finals week! This means that for every day I attend school until Monday, I have a final. I’m very nervous, mostly about my statistics class, but I keep reassuring myself that I’ll be fine. I hope I’m right!
I’ve also applied for one (1) job and I’ve have two interviews for it! I’m super optimistic as it’s working with animals and I’d love to have it!! It’ll also eat up some of my time and allow me to put money into savings, which is awesome.
That’s it! Here’s to a good end of the semester for all of us! 🥂

Hello, World!
This is my first ever OC Tumblr post, so there’s that! I’m studying for my first Philosophy test of the semester. I’m a little messy, but I did my best to make this neat; both for my own notes and for tumblr! Looking forward to a good semester here :)
