Day 51/100 days of productivity 🥰💕🌸

Been working on my EPQ all day, feeling pretty good ☺️

Cultural Dark Academia

After my last post about the lack of representation in academia, I felt it neccessary to provide some examples of what I’m talking about. Obviously there are more countries in the world than I can list and provide books for, so for a quick list this is what I got. !! Keep researching !! If you have any more books by POC please reply them !! If a country isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean it’s not important, this is just what I could get together real quick. If I made any mistakes, please let me know, we’re all learning. We need to help each other end eurocentrism in academia, so value representation and educate yourselves 💓💓💓

Day 33/100 days of productivity

Today’s Achievements:

Made way more pasta cos the shops are still out

Finished some more of my maths paper

Looked through my food revision notes

Made dinner

There wasn’t a lot done today but I’ve been finding it hard to motivate myself since what’s going on around GCSEs... hopefully we’ll get some answers soon

Day 72/100 days of productivity 🌿🦋✨

Today was okay :) I was feeling super run down so I didn’t get as much done as I’d have liked to but I still accomplished lots from my to do list! I’m going to go to bed early and get up at seven tomorrow in order to get some extra stuff done ☺️

18th July - What do you usually do during the summer?

Well, normally I sleep until noon and do absolutely nothing except eat so I’m hoping to make this summer the exception! I’d really like to be productive and active this summer instead of wasting it away sitting on the sofa. I think I’m doing alright so far! ☺️🌿

work hard

absolutely adoring this color scheme!! i just set up my new bullet journal and i’m internally screaming bc first! bullet journal! ever!
