A Virtual Hug Because Real Ones Are No-nos Right Now.

let’s treat ourselves more gently. let’s go to bed early. let’s rest when we need to. let’s live life in a way that doesn’t make you feel burnt out after a few weeks. i want us to have fun, to enjoy everyday life, to be present and not to always push ourselves to the last limit. challenge yourself but also treat yourself with love. okay?

Yesterday I had a meeting with my professor, so she could tell me what she thought about my essay, she told me that she loved it and that it was the best one in the class. I'm so excited since it's the first essay that I'd ever write about educational psychology. Also, I got a good grade, but for me is more important the fact that my essay was good and interesting according to someone who knows about the subject than the grade that I got.

here are a few study tips on how to learn a new language 💻☺️:

1. start speaking as soon as possible. even when you haven’t learned too many words yet, the most important part of studying a language is not being afraid of using it. so download apps like hellotalk to get in touch with natives! of course, it’s even easier if you already have friends or family members speaking your target language.

2. study the most frequent words! there are tons of free so-called “frequency lists” online that prevent you from studying vocabulary you don’t need in the long run. with only 500 of the right words you could already have basic conversations!

3. get a lot of native exposure - through podcasts, videos and movies. there are so many recommendations on the internet, no matter what language you’re learning. the earlier you start immersing yourself in native material, even if it’s children’s books, the faster you’ll find yourself having fluent conversations!!

4. keep a weekly or daily diary to practice writing in your target language. even if it’s only composed of basic sentences, it’s the best way to use the vocabulary you’ve learned!

qotd: what language would you like to study next? i really look forward to studying Italian once I have a little bit more time!! 💕

Some tips that have worked for me in the past. I hope you find them helpful! x | studygram

People always talk about parallels between Luke and Padme and it's great. But can we talk about Padme and Leia, I mean Padme was a politician who believed in democracy and peace for the galaxy. Leia has the ideology of her mother and fight tooth and nail for it. So yeah, I do believe Leia Organa would be her's mother greatest pride.
