22.10.13 - Hello! I'm back! I am sorry I disappeared.

Things started going bad again right after coming home from vacation last August, and I just needed some time off away from everything :D I'm really sorry about that.

Anyways, I started school again this week! So far, I'm feeling good about this school year. I also took a walk today, so here's a picture of the last flowers until Autumn paints everything red and orange again.

Day 5/100 Productivity Challenge

Hello there! I hope everyone is well this week!

I got up at 7am today so I started my morning with a fresh cup of tea...and german lessons! (and by lessons, I mean duolingo - I did it early so he doesn't come after my ass later in the day). And guys, I am so happy - I am now able to watch anime without any subtitles AT ALL byebye subtitles~ I just need to learn more kanji now ಥ_ಥ

Day 4/100 Productivity Challenge (resumed)

220718 - Do you prefer taking notes digitally or by hand?

Definitely by hand. I feel like, digitally, I don't absorb the information as well as I do when I write notes by hand. And also, my handwriting is just so so bad digitally. Literally illegible 🤷🏻‍♀️

°•°•°○°•°•°

Guten tag, wie geht's, people!!

That's right, ya girl's learning Deutsch now. Yet another language to add to my collection of languages haha! I am having so much fun studying right now.

I mean like, without the pressure of exams and deadlines, I honestly feel like I learn so much more. I study with so much enthusiasm and energy than I do when I study school stuff. Does anyone else feel the same? I gotta say, my productivity level is 10x higher than during school season

I hope everyone is having a good summer!

P.s. where I am, we are in our third week of constant heat waves, 43°C,,, I feel like my skin is melting sos

Productivity Challenge: paused for today

220712 - What is your favourite way to recharge your energy levels?

100% any of my hobbies. But if I really had to narrow it down, I would say: playing video games, reading or playing my instruments.

°•°•°○°•°•°

GUYS! I'M OFFICIALLY ON SUMMER VACATION! 🐠🏝🥥🧋🏖🍹🐬🌞👙 but guess what time I woke up today...I woke up at 6 am. No alarms. No nothing. Liek body?? wtf???

But honestly tho, no cap, i feel like a huge burden's been lifted off my chest, I could cry right now. I FEEL LIKE I COULD DO A MILLION THINGS THIS SUMMER.

Of course, there's no better way to celebrate the end of the schoolyear than to go book shopping. So, that is exactly what I did! I went book shopping and got a few books! I am so excited to read them and not add them to my tbr list😃!

But the summer is not going to stop me from studying (studying something that genuinely interests me), I am planning on learning some new languages and start creating my own game! I am so excited!

I hope you guys are all well! I hope you finished all of your exams! And I hope you have the beeeestest summer yet! 💖🎉

Day 3/100 Productivity Challenge

220710 - If you could make a living doing anything, what would it be?

Music. I would most definitely study music and perform in an orchestra. Either that OR, art. As in, go into animation or game designing. But, alas, I need money so into STEM I go,,,

°•°•°○°•°•°

Day 2/100 Productivity challenge

220708 - Real talk, guys:

I place a lot of my self-worth in my academic success. I know I shouldn't but it's what I grew up on. Almost every praise I'd get ever since I was small, was from an academic accomplishment so I thrived to do better and stay on top.

Needless to say, that destroyed me.

I failed a lot this year. My brain kept telling me I was worthless for not being able to keep up; I felt worthless and I was scared people would abandon me because all I thought I was ever good at, I screwed it up.

That's not true. They still love me and continue to support me so now, I just need my brain to do the same.

Don't be like me, guys. I've never had anyone say this to me ever so I'm going to tell you: your worth does not lie in only academic success - I don't know a lot of you personally, but I am willing to bet all I have that you are all so much more than just grades, okay?

🥲@the mess on my table every time before an exam

Day 1/100 Productivity Challenge (reset)

220705 - Do you procrastinate?

Unfortunately, I do. I procrastinate a lot, and I always suffer because of it but I, somehow, can't seem to stop. I don't know how to.

°•°•°○°•°•°

Hello, you guys! I apologize for not posting. I took a mini break and now, I am definitely back! I still have 2 more exams to go and I am giving it my all - literally, next Monday afternoon, I am a free person! Hurrah!

I also have some exciting news: I finally started driving lessons! Ngl, I am a bit overwhelmed with how much full-body coordination there is but I am having so much fun! Tomorrow will be my first time driving on the highway omg omg, wish me luck! But I do have a tiny problem tho, I am super short so pressing down completely on the clutch has become somewhat of a leg workout for me lmaoo

I hope you guys are well, stay fresh and hydrated!! (●'◡'●)

220701 - Happy July 1st everybody!! I hope you have a very good July this year. I literally remember posting about pride month like it was just yesterday and now it's already jULY?! sheeesh, time flies when you got so many exams huh?

Well, anywhoo, I took my System Programming final today. I believe it went well. I think so. I hope so. It was a fun subject but the 2-hours-per-week distribution was not enough to cover the whole subject imo. (3 down 2 to go!!)

Happy summer you guys!!🎉🌞

btw I am going to reset my Productivity challenge starting tomorrow, i lost track :P and yep, those are the new glasses. I love them.

220628 - Hello!! Long time no post here 🥲 I'm really sorry about that.

I'm gonna be super real and sincere right now, okay?

I have been debating with myself whether or not I should post this but I decided that, even though this is my studyblr account, it is also some sort of personal diary so, yes, I am going to be real through and through.

"The worst thing in the world can happen, but the next day the sun will come up. And you will eat your toast. And you will drink your tea." - Rhian Ellis, After Life

I have been thinking about that quote for a while now. I haven't posted for the past few days because I'm kinda in a dark place right now. I had my Numerical Algorithms exam a few days back and I'm pretty sure I blew it.

This was an exam I have been studying for for months and I blew it. It's my fault, of course. I just...blanked out in the middle of it. I came home that day feeling too numb to even cry (I spent the next couple of days in bed like that too, I couldn't find it in me to get up. It was not good)

I finally got up today, to continue studying for my next exam on the 1st of July (wow, July already?!) and I guess I just wanted to share with yall that studying is not just pretty notes and good grades; it's also about failing, learning from it and growing (I, myself, am still trying to internalize this)

I am so disappointed in myself, I want to shut down. However, I AM working on me being okay with this failure - it's really hard; every time I think about it, all I want to do is to stare at a wall and cry but I am trying my best to move on from it and focus on the next big thing.

I hope you guys are taking care of yourselves - drink enough water and put on sunscreen before going out, okay?

Have a good week!

Ps - the sky was absolutely lovely this afternoon, it made me really happy

220623 - Kind of a change today, folks! (btw, that's my uni in the photo, literally in the middle of nowhere)

I just had my Discrete Maths II final this morning, and I got my results back just a few minutes ago. My professors are machines when it comes to correcting. Well, anyways, I got an 80%! Yay! This was a subject I struggled a lot with, so I'm really happy with my results. Oh! OH! I also went to get new glasses today. I CAN SEE EVERYTHING NOW.

And I really wanted to show you guys, how my notebooks really are before I re-write them. They are suuuper super messy, so many tiny notes, silly doodles and a ton of arrows.

My notes aren't always neat and I am not always organized and I am okay with that. I try to put an effort into making my things look nicer and I appreciate myself for it 🤗 In a way, the chaos of my messy notebooks looks kinda pretty

Day 6/30 Productivity challenge

220622 - What is your go-to song/playlist for studying?

"Skyrim 10th Anniversary Full Concert" on YT is one my favourite go-tos, also HTTYD full soundtrack, aaaannd Harmonious Dolphin's Wizarding Suite I.

Whenever music's getting a bit too noisy for me, I just switch to asmr, it's got to be super aggressive and fast asmr tho. I cannot stand the soft ones.

°•°•°○°•°•° It's the day before my finals, guys. I'm super nervous - I feel like I'm gonna be sick. I studied so much, I feel like I'm ready but you know those times when you spend so much effort into something only to have that something turn out bad? No? Just me then? Okay. Well, I'm super paranoid about that happening so I'm going to keep doing practice papers, yeah? 🤓

Good luck with your exams! 🙏🍀

Day 5/30 Productivity challenge

220621 - Are you a coffee person or a tea person? Or neither?

Tea person, definitely! 🍵 I love love love green tea and rooibos, they are my favs. I can't stand coffee 🥴 no matter how much cream and sugar I put in it, it's still so bitter (on the brightside, I don't have to spend so much €€ on Starbucks 🤭)

°•°•°○°•°•°

Please excuse the photos for today, I couldn't find good natural lighting, :'( the sun didn't shine today, it's been gloomy ever since Sunday.

Anyhow, today is a good day, folks! I got my Concurrency results a few hours ago, and I got a 100%! Yoohoo!! Plus, it isn't so hot today and I had some pizza for lunch, so yes, it's a very very good day!

I'm sharing my good vibes with yall so keep your vibe-window open!!

220619 - Where would you like to be in 5 years?

Honestly, just somewhere where better mentally than I am now. I want to be somewhere stable and secure, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

°•°•°○°•°•° Good morning/afternoon/evening/night, people! I hope you are all doing well. Finals are getting closer and closer and I'm getting more and more nervous by the minute.

I know some of yall are currently doing or about to do their finals as well (heck, some of you might even be done already! Congratulations to yall!), I want to wish you all good luck! We're almost through the school year so let's end it with a bang yeah?

After this, we'll get to enjoy the summer! Push on! I'm rooting for you!
