Studying For My Weekly Tests 📚🩶

11.21.2022

Totally disconnected from reality for a few days.

Haven't checked any sort of social media, just vibed by myself at home. Made my productivity skyrocket. Started reading "It" by Stephen King, caught up on my favourite classes and overall i just enjoyed myself.

What books are you currently reading?

Taking breaks is also being productive

Studying constantly only leads to burnout. Go take a walk. Feed some ducks. Admire a pretty building. Try to cook something new.

You might feel guilty at first, but nothing in excess is ever good, not even studying.

Dont forget to live life

While studying for this class right before exams, every time i felt like i needed a break i would make a tiny drawing.

Now my book is full of this type of lil guys.

I am once again going through this book and thought that I'd share the doodles that kept me sane(debatable) during exam season.

from duty— squeezing in some studying before I sleep.

June 23rd, 2024

I had hoped to make some progress on my research for the defence but I really didn't. At least I took some time off, which was nice and necessary. I painted, watched Netflix, spent time with my family and in my garden. I even went out for dinner and it was lovely. This weekend feels very long and I'm glad it does. Last week was so hectic and a whirlwind of emotions. I'm glad I had some calmer days.

However, as I made no progress regarding my PhD defence, I'll have to tackle that tomorrow...

You are smarter than you feel and you know more than you think.

Always while studying or right before an exam i feel like i don't know anything, my thoughts are all jumbled and I can't find a straight answer for a question i ask myself for funsies.

That's ok.

I've come to know that, despite feeling like i don't know anything, i hold all the necessary information. When it counts, when you have a specific problem right in front of you, you will know the answer.

You sometimes just have to trust yourself.

💕 14.06.2024 // I studied a bit less today but I only had 6h of sleep so I think I can stop earlier and go to bed to rest a bit ahah

Tomorrow I want to study a lot more than today, and I hope I will be able to hit 9/10 hours of studying!!

Giving presentations to high schools on Girls State today and decided to do homework in between. The grind never stops

you can learn new things every day with the courage to be unashamed of your ignorance and the good humor to tolerate being taught
