The ABCDE Method

hey!! to celebrate my birthday month and autumn in general, i thought it would be nice to post a challenge! i always wanted to do my own one. anyone can join, you don’t have to do every day and it’s okay to switch days if the challenge is inconvenient that day. don’t forget to use #nostalgicautumn so i can find your posts. I would appreciate a reblog so as many people as possible can join! so here it is:

let’s get it! set some goals: what do you hope to achieve this october? include some autumn activities.

create an autumn playlist to keep u company this month! (on spotify and post the link, or just write down the songs on here)

what’s your favorite drink for autumn and why? post a recipe if it’s something fancy.

light a candle for today’s study session & post a pic.

write a short love letter to yourself and put it into your jacket pocket to be your lucky charm. if it’s not too personal, post it on here to. otherwise just recap how it was writing to yourself: was it easy or did you struggle a bit?

how do you say “autumn” in your native language / the language you’re learning? plus points if you google the origin.

read this poem. what did you think of it?

give your notes / your bujo some autumn vibes: doodles, autumn colors, … be creative & post a pic.

what’s your favorite quote?

fav study snack this autumn?

today’s to-do: reading! get yourself cozy and enjoy your book.

are you affected by bad weather? what do you do to make yourself feel better?

what’s your morning routine? is there’re something you could do to make it more enjoyable?

night routine?

record yourself explaining your study material and take a walk outside. did this method work for you / will you try it again?

my hands always get super dry when it gets cold outside. so today’s task is easy: use some handcream! any recs?

watch a documentary or a short educational video on youtube. it can be about anything! some ideas: environment, space, crime, famous people (buzzfeed unsolved counts too ;))

what’s your favorite thing about autumn?

stretch when taking a study break today. what stretches did you do? how did it feel?

do you get nervous for exams? what do you do to deal with nervousness?

post a pic of your study space.

collect some leaves, get some fresh air and take some pics. don’t forget to press the leaves!

document your day with some pics. what are you most proud of for getting done today?

describe your ideal autumn day.

how do you study?

get something done today you have been procrastinating on for weeks. it doesn’t have to be study-related and it’s okay if you only spend 5 mins on it! something is always better than nothing.

have you ever had any magical or paranormal experiences?

time to journal! make yourself some tea and let your thoughts out.

give someone a compliment today. what was it?

what was this month’s biggest accomplishment?

time to take a break & enjoy halloween! what are your plans?

The First Semester is finally Done and I've checked out of my dorm! My semester finished earlier than others, and it was fun to just lounge around my room until it was the time to go home.

Today, I offer you pictures of Iska sleeping at our common area. Tomorrow? Who knows?

like if you save.

Quarantine Tarantino: Beginning

Today, I managed to check 1 out of 2 on my to-do list, and honestly? that felt better than not checking anything!

It’s been so long since we had this lockdown, and with the way things are going: the lockdown would be longer. Some provinces are apparently going into a GCQ, but if it’s not needed, please stay at home! At the very least, wear a mask! Still, we continue to advocate for mass testing!

Last night, I had this Big Brain moment. I was wondering what to do during this lockdown, and I realized that I have my studyblr! I thought this might be the best time to actually work on establishing my studyblr since I have nothing much to do. I would probably put up a more concrete introduction in the next few days, but basically this is my way of doing something productive. I managed to clean out my studyblr, and I also managed to clean my room. I may not have made all the progress I would want but, hey! Little progress is still progress.

Quick academic update:

i’m planning to shift to a different course;

i’ve managed to start working on my requirements (yay!!!);

uplb admin is, once again, evident on their anti-student tendencies. 

I’ll post a proper write-up about this soon. I’ll try and head to bed early now since I’ve realized that I can work better on my academic requirements during the day. Here’s to hoping I get up early tomorrow lol.

Anyway, I hope you’re all safe and healthy! To all my fellow Filipinos, stay vigilant! We only have at most 7 days before the terror bill automatically becomes a law. Read up, stay hydrated, and get enough rest!

Welp

Today is not a very good day. I'm starting to wonder why my Fridays are always filled with inconveniences and problems; it's borderline comical at this point.

got stomach flu last night

was unable to attend my classes today

was unable to attend my CET Review

the script i wrote got lost

I'm really scared for the Fridays to come, but we all know Fridays are inevitable as long as I'm alive. 😂

Hope you're having better days than me! Hit me up if you want to rant, share, or just talk about stuff!
