advice for university students who have a hard time getting work done aka the things that my ADHD-having ass needed 3 fucking semesters to learn :

1. go to class. GO TO CLASS. yes, even if the lectures are recorded. yes, even if you have other work you really need to do right now. you will fall behind if you don't and it will suck. next time you have class you will think, "I can't go to class today because I still haven't caught up with the material from the previous class" and then you'll do that several times and then you'll haven fallen really far behind and it will really suck. when you show up to class, keeping up with assignments will just naturally follow.

2. do not try to get work done in your room. it will not happen. no matter how much you don't want to leave, you have to do it, you have to leave. go to a library, or a cafe, or even just a different room in your house/dorm if you don't want to change out of your pjs (and even if you're one of those people who *can* get studying done in your room [couldn't be me], separating the environments you work in and relax in will feel so much better, i promise!).

3. go to office hours. if it's one of those STEM class office/peer tutoring hours where lots of people are being helped at once, it's especially important that you go. the material is designed to be challenging and you're not expected to be able to do it on your own. it's also a great way to hold yourself accountable to getting the work done on time. literally just put on some noise-cancelling headphones and work on stuff there until you have a question.

4. start on your big assignments EARLY. working on one essay or project and almost nothing else for 2 days straight leads to burnout. start at least 2 weeks in advance, and work on it everyday for just an hour, maybe 2. setting time-based goals is key here. it makes the assignment feel less intimidating. it's easy to convince yourself to work on it even if you don't want to because, hey, it's only an hour. once you start getting bored or frustrated, it's not too hard to power through, since it's only an hour. and if you're getting super distracted and really struggling to focus you can switch gears to something else guilt-free, and then return to it tomorrow with fresh eyes and a fresh mind.

5. inevitably, you'll fuck up. you'll do poorly on a test, you'll miss an assignment, you'll not understand things you're learning in class, you'll get nervous during a presentation. some days, you might not even fuck up necessarily, you'll just feel bad. when it happens, take a step back. acknowledge and honor your emotions. you might feel sad or disappointed or ashamed. treat yourself with kindness and compassion. try not to judge yourself, recognize that your feelings are natural and normal. take care of yourself like you would take care of a friend who was in your position. do some easy assignments, then wrap up work early. eat something, talk to someone or journal about it, do some cleaning, take a shower, and go to bed early. maybe it feels like you shouldn't because you have too much work to do, but trust that addressing your heavy emotions is more productive than just powering through. personally, if i don't do this, the feeling of shame lingers in my subconscious and i spiral for several days. like, don't get out of bed or eat or do any work kind of spiraling. perhaps the consequences are not as material for you. regardless, honoring your emotions and treating yourself with compassion is a life-long skill that is always worth practicing. your mental health will thank you for it.

23rd september 2023 : These days, I've been feeling bad and unmotivated. I feel guilty 'cause this studyblr is like an act of commitment towards myself and I do not take it seriously enough to my taste. The beginning of classes has been... empty. I'm not really interested in what we see right now. But I think it is because I'm still not in the flow, you know.

Yesterday has been nerve-wrecking ; I ruminated on a trauma I have and cried all day. I managed to record myself explaining why I felt like this, and sent it to a friend. I'm relieved I did so. For the first time since I quitted my dance classes, I danced in front of loved ones. For a few seconds, yes - but I cherish them.

take a long walk in downtown.

take notes on articles for research paper.

one unit of spanish and portuguese on duolingo.

read my friend's story and give him a feedback.

read before going to sleep (and please finish it damn).

prepare my to-do list for tomorrow.

♡₊˚ 🎧 ; modest by default - kisses 'cause it's my vibe right now

i consider it my civic duty to go onto ratemyprofessors.com at the end of every term and fallingfruit.org whenever i find a consistent free food source.

#cricket.chatterbox #my college town has so few ratemyprofessor entries AND so few fallingfruit entries #as if it is not full of professors and also free foods. SHAME!

[skunkes]

wishing i cld redo college but for the sole reason of i think im a bit better at socializing now? Not actually but i think im better at being pleasant and likeable now (i was barely mastering this on my way out)...and not even for friendmaking reasons bc it was impossible to make friends in class. I still dont know how to be likeable to peers. but more so I could chat with professors i liked being liked by professorssss

#it was so difficult to make friends in college bc like. #I'd talk to people and would listen to them talk about whatever interest or hobby i got out of em and then when id talk they wouldnt care #LOL....ykwim? thats why i struggle so much now even with close friends like whyyy would i talk about anything...lmao #im here to be the listener i guess #anyway im thinking about this bc of that successful interaction i had with the MRI tech. i crave more interactions like that #if i cant have good interactions with peers i need good interactions at different levels. like Medical Professional and Patient #and Student and Professor #easy to win. entry level interactions. mood boosting #talkys

When I say I "can't talk to people," I mean many things. It's a gross oversimplification of a very complicated set of circumstances, some of which are not always present. I'm trying to rid my vernacular of it, but it seems to be what people (those less inclined to understand) understand best.

It would take many things going wrong for me to actively try not to talk to a friend. The extenuating circumstances required for me to not enjoy listening to a friend talk would be not fully understood by me, myself. For people I don't know well or at all, general nervousness about performing for them can get in the way of initiating, but I would only attempt escape from the conversation if I felt they were only talking to me out of courtesy. Of course, I could be wrong in my assessment, but that's always the case. At least I made a judgement, no matter how flawed.

When I say I "can't talk to people," I mean I lack the mental faculties (space, speed, depth of knowledge, experience) to adequately respond to their recent comments with comments of my own which move the conversation forward in a non-trivial manner. That's a mouthful, even for me. I would love to be this verbose, but even this statement "requires" clarification. Everything I say "requires" clarification, including this. By putting "requires" in quotes, I intend to instill a sense of self-percieved falsehood in the word. Whenever I give a statement about myself, I feel "required" to add to it, since I feel that if the listener has not only an inadequate view of me as a person, but could have garnered a wholly incorrect view, too. I value the listener's opinion too much to be "okay" with them having an opinion of me that could be built off misinterpretations.

When I'm nervous about my ability to perform (entertain, be useful, etc) for someone, I slip back into an unfortunate pattern of treating the conversation as turn-based combat. Every word they say becomes ammunition for the next thing i say. I struggle heavily to rekindle or start conversations, since my inspiration is simply extinct. It isn't a skill I have. I don't know where to start, I don't know to just... Think of something to say to them. If I say something random, purely random, that wouldn't work, because all I think about is either things I want to do that I dont think they'd enjoy or just straight up pleasing them. Even if I picked something from our surroundings to comment on, I fear I'll be seen as desperate (which I most definitely am). If I told them the whole truth of me being nervous and not knowing what to talk about since I just want them to like talking to me so that they talk to me more in the future... I dont know, I just don't know if the other person wants me to be that vulnerable to them. They didn't ask for it, and they sure as hell haven't been vulnerable to me.

All of this discordant ranting, just to explain why I'm not trying to talk to people. The view from outside shows someone isolating himself. The view from inside shows too much deliberation to come to an actual conclusion. This isolation isn't on purpose. It's like learning how to walk while your legs change shape ever couple seconds.

alone at brunch

i’m sitting at this cafe i love when this family walks in and they sit at the table next to me. the mother sits on the bench with her youngest son and her daughter on either side of her. the older son takes the chair in front of them and the father glances over at my table and graciously asks if he could please have the empty chair across from me and i agree. i sit there reading my book while sipping my green concoction of ice and matcha as this family interacts and converses. the youngest son, also the one seated closest to me, fiddles with his shoe laces as the daughter asks her mother if she could tell her about her latest discovery about the planets. the father is trying to figure out that qr code menu while the older son decides to dump the sugar packets from their container onto the table and arrange them like some sugar packet castle. as i glance over to them before looking out the giant window near them i can’t help but think about my own family, about my mother and father and my sister and brother, about how i was with them just a few days ago. about how we were laughing together and debating acting performances in a film we had just seen. and i can’t help but smile, i miss them it’s been barely three days but i miss them terribly. i think about calling my mom right now, but i decide not to, she’s probably at work anyways. i could message my dad but he’s got lots to do. my sister maybe, but what would i even say? would i ask her about her search for colleges or if she’d finally decided what major she’d apply to? no, that would only annoy her, i don’t want to be a grievance. i could message my brother, send him a quick text, but he’s 12 and i don’t really know what to say to him, talking to him is always weird because he’s quite mature but acts like a 3 year old and i never knew how to talk to him when he was 3. besides his phone is probably out of charge. i usually love being in my own company. i usually love eating by myself. but right now with this family right next to me with eldest son having completed his castle of sugar, and the mother taking a picture of her daughter as she bites into a strawberry, and the youngest son licking his spoon clean of chocolate syrup, i see just how alone i am. ‘i love being alone,’ i remind myself, ‘i love being alone.’ yes. i love being alone; i hate being lonely.

i hope you enjoyed this little entry, writing it was somewhat cathartic. xo mellilla

1st november 2023 ; Today I got into some kind of rush to get done with some stuff, or at least update myself with what I hadn't been following correctly. So, it made me feel good and satisfied with my day, even if I wished I got into this mood earlier in my day. A win is a win ! I'm thinking about changing my profile pic for something else. I didn't got to do everything today, but I might get closer to my goals tomorrow evening.

I'll try to read before sleeping (I uninstalled YouTube and Instagram from my phone... A brave decision indeed). Also, don't hesitate to interact ! If you wanna send me an ask or a comment, please do so ! Take care.

things i did for school today

- we went to the national technical museum to learn more about cars and history of technology and it was AMAZING!!! there were so many great looking things in which i found inspiration and amazement at how they may have been perceived back in the day. i will definitely have to go there again to simply sit and draw all these amazing cars and planes!!!

- that’s all lol

selfcare moments

- i slept in and woke up at 10am (which was exactly what i needed)

- good food

- being comfortable and warm

how i felt today

it was such an amazing daaaaayyyy. at first i didn’t feel like going to the museum but now i am glad i went! we had an amazing time, we talked and laughed about the things there. honestly i’m pretty happy about how today went even tho i wasn’t technically productive at all. i think i really needed this break and a good laugh to not lose my mind. and now i am all refreshed and ready to take on the tasks of tomorrow! remember to take breaks and relax too!
