Currently Cramming For My Geography Hazards Test This Thursday! Hopefully It Won’t Be Too Difficult

it's barely been a week since the new semester has started and there's SO MUCH work

meetings are endless and workload is piling up im trying to get ahead of tasks but staying motivated is difficult :/

also, happy new year to everyone (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

second year of uni has started in full swing!

went through personality theories for my personality psych assignment

made a cute study set up <3

(tried) to start my biological bases of behaviour course's assignment by reading the assigned research article

did a mini art project for said biological bases course because ✨why not✨

rant

ive been feeling so envious of my friends lately and i don't like it

it's like whenever they achieve something that i wish for my ideal self, i start thinking to myself "why is that not me, it should be me" and then a self deprecating thought follows, "maybe it'll never be me". my mind chooses to completely ignore the struggles my friends have gone through to get where they are and do the things that they are doing

i feel guilty feeling this way about people so close to me, people who confide in me, whose struggles i know but im not sure how to navigate through this

hmm maybe i should start by making a list of things i want for my ideal self and then work towards them slowly

Studying when EXAUSTED

This is for those times when you really desperately want to be productive and get things done but you can't focus and you just want to sleep but you didn't do anything today so you feel shitty.

if you can, please just go to sleep (I do get that sometimes you feel so shitty about how little work you got done that you can't sleep, but if you can, please do it and approach tomorrow with a fresh start)

plan out what tomorrow is going to look like. I will break it down by task, for example: 6:00 wake up, 6:05 work out 6:15 shower, 6:30 make tea, 6:40 start work, 7:30 break etc. This will 1) help you feel better about not getting anything done 2) can help you be more productive tomorrow.

if you have things to do that are easy/low brain power, do them. These are things like printing out work, scanning stuff, tidying your kitchen. getting these little things out of the way can make a HUGE difference later

if you can, just read over your material. Don't even try to understand, just read it. Tomorrow when you come back to try and actually learn it, you will already be a little familiar and it can speed things up for you

eat something, drink something, and see if it makes you feel better- many times when i'm "unable" to go on, I eat a meal and drink a glass or two of water and magically I feel great again

try doing a workout- sometimes it just makes the exhaustion worse, but if you need to stay up later (shoutout to my fellow 6:30 pm bedtime pals) it can stretch time a little bit, and sometimes wakes up your brain. It's also good for you and can make your sleep go better

DONT DRINK COFFEE. or tea. no caffeine. you are already tired, it's not going to fix anything, its just going to make you jittery and sad. it's also going to upset your sleep schedule and make the tired worse for tomorrow.

lastly- just go to bed. pushing through true exhaustion is not going to help you or anyone else. anything you try and learn is going to float right out of your head, and it can lead to burnout which will make everything worse. Please just sleep

🌹🌻🌈

it's that time of the year <3

happy pride!

nothing like studying biological bases of behaviour at 8 a.m.

mark my words, your sleep WILL be taken away. doesn't matter if you're very drowsy, it WILL be gone because there's so much content (⁠ ⁠･ั⁠﹏⁠･ั⁠)

When the going gets tough… study, study harder📚✨.

a pleasant day on campus <3

felt like sleeping like the cute doggo in the video

but the work just never ends (⁠T⁠T⁠)

tried to have a eat junk food and study session with besties (we ended up yapping)

A pretty pink glance at my Thursday morning featuring my notes and an excerpt I picked from a beautiful memoir I finished 🤍

Hope everyone has a beautiful day <3
