Not to be dramatic or anything but I think I've fucked myself over on some of these finals.
Almost all of them are projects and I think I've waited too long to start some of them. I guess we shall see.

Art Block
I am currently going through a very difficult art block. Between school and work I am finding it so difficult to find enjoyment in art right now. Nothing is speaking to me and everything I draw feels like it comes out wrong. I don't know what to do. If anyone has any art suggestions they would be appreciated!
It's finals week so this is your formal reminder.
YOUR BODY CANNOT FUNCTION ON ONLY ENERGY DRINKS/COFFEE. DRINK SOME WATER AND EAT SOME REAL FOOD.
I love taking finals while sick
There’s truly not quite as beneficial for your academic career than walking into the testing room in a fugue state, taking that final exam and then walking out being all like
What the fuck just happened
Nothing feels real
Also I remember nothing about that test
Truly the academic experience of all time
"were you sw-" **YES I WAS SWORDFIGHTING AGAIN**

oh to be a university student conked out at 3:52pm in the basement of a building on campus desperately trying to get 4hrs of sleep in roughly a fifth of that time to be awake for finals in an hour
my absolute hatred of having to write intros and conclusions is torturing me this finals season...... an intro i can sort of understand but can't you just form your own conclusions goddamn. like i spelled it all out for you already
For the remembrance of the finals weeks of uni.

Whose idea was finals week? Their name needs to go on my gravestone. Why is this all happening in the same week??
I has decided that if I’m never heard from again it’s because my finals have successfully offed me, finals:100 Daphne:- Literally all I’ve done today is cry, study, cry while eating the lunch I don’t deserve, cry more, study more, panic cuz I broke the necklace given to me by my late grandfather, cry cuz I couldn’t find it only to find it after 2 hours, lay on the floor and cry more till my roommate got home, then go with them to eat, feel worthless because my friend got mad that I asked to get a drink, then apologized after I said that I didn’t need the drink and that I was sorry then I proceed to cry on the phone with Charlie because he asked me how my day was and even though he was high out of his mind he called to talking me through my panic and calmed me down and then I found out that I have a final today and started freaking out yet again
Oh yeah, Charlie is my very supportive boyfriend and the love of my life :3
Hey! so i just created my very first studygram (shameless self promo @decafstudy follow me) and one of my irl friends saw my stories and posts and asked “How many hours does your day have? ´cause mine only has 24″ and that got me thinking abt how i take the most advantage of my days to make them feel (or look) 48 hours long! Here are a few of the things I incorporate on my daily student life to be more productive!
• IF YOUR FIRST CLASS STARTS LATE IN THE MORNING WAKE UP 2 HOURS EARLIER THAN NEEDED i know, am i crazy? ok so here´s the deal. If your first class starts, let´s say, at 11:00 A.M you might be tempted to wake up at 10:00 A.M, get dressed, and head to school. Not only does this create bad habits for when you get assigned a 7:00 A.M class (which will happen) but you lose MANY HOURS OF PRECIOUS TIME. Get your 8-9 hours of sleep and do not let yourself wake up later than needed. My class sometimes starts at 11:30 A.M so i wake up at 8:00 have a nice morning, relax, work out a bit, light up a candle and get ahead on reading and work for school! Your day will start and feel more productive!
• NEVER LEAVE CLASS WITH A DOUBT ON YOUR MIND I know this might create anxiety for people who are shy and do not like asking questions during class (i am one of those people) If you feel just too scared to ask during class APPROACH THE TEACHER AFTER CLASS ENDS. as soon as he dismisses class, approach him and ask the question. If you are not able to do so DO NOT STRESS, BUT WRITE THAT QUESTION DOWN ASAP ON A POST IT AND STICK IT YOUR NOTEBOOK. that way you will have the question at hand and you can seek tutoring later and ask, or even ask a friend BUT NEVER LET A QUESTION GO, NEVER think “i will ask it later” BECAUSE YOU WON´T and IT WILL DOOM YOU. This will save so much time when you study, because all your questions will be at hand and you will know what you have to focus on studying.
• WHENEVER YOU HAVE FREE TIME, USE IT TO WORK WHILE DOING SOMETHING FUN instead of just diving head first into watching a movie, ask yourself if there is something more productive that you could be doing rn (reading ahead, reviewing, doing extra math exercises) if the answer is yes, then put that movie on mute and work while taking a peek at the movie ever once in a while. This will not only help you with discipline and learning to keep yourself from distractions, but it will occupy your free time in something that your future self will thank you for later on.
• NEVER ASSUME THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT LATER again, think in terms of your FUTURE SELF how much would your future self love it if instead of studying 3 days before the exam, you studied a week before it? How much would your future self love it of instead of reading until 12:00 PM tomorrow, you divided the reading between today and tomorrow? never assume that you will have spare time ahead because chances are that you won´t and you will end up with A BUNCH of work that you didn´t do and that you can´t do at the moment. FUTURE SELF THINKING has saved my life.
• LEAVE TIME OPEN FOR MENTAL HEALTH/PHYSICAL/RECREATIVE CARE as much as i always put work first, I KEEP MY THERAPIST VISIT AND MY GYM ROUTINE STABLE no matter how much work i have. This helps me feel more balanced and like i am on top of everything, not just school, feeling good=more productivity.
• POMODORO TECHNIQUE i know many people know about this but if you don´t, this is basically a studying technique in which you work or study for 25-30 minutes straight NO DISTRACTIONS and then have a 5-6 minute break, and then repeat the process as many hours as you need. This really helps me not get burnt out when I have a heavy load of work. Watching study with me videos on yt is a good way of keeping the pomodoro system going. Some good apps that I use for POMODORO are Forest and Tide.
• HAVE AN APP CARPET ON YOUR PHONE THAT IS CALLED “PRODUCTIVITY” ie. download a BUNCH of cute as hell apps that help you get motivated and organised when you look at them. This will make you more prone to look at your phone as an INSTRUMENT rather than a DISTRACTION. (my fave apps are Taskade, Forest, Tide, Brainscape and Pocket)
• Lastly, GET MOTIVATED i know this sounds cliché, but the reason why i love keeping my day busy is because i surround myself with a romanticised idea of studying. Doing these kinds of posts, following a bunch of accounts with pretty notes, having a clean room and desk, going to the library and appreciating the color scheme or sounds around you, listening to relaxing sounds or music while working, downloading many pretty apps to keep myself on track while having a cute aesthetic… all of these things might seem small, but they make you feel cleaner, more balanced and more prone to LIKING the work you do.
Anyways i know most of you already do these cause yall are on top of your game alllll the tiiiiime girl, but if any of these helps, ill be very happy!
I’m gonna fail at life, but at least I went out eating watermelon at 4 am
Save me the MCR brainrot is killing me
So for my world literature finals, we had to remember who wrote what poem/short story. There’s this one poem called “Thou Art Indeed Just, Lord” by Gerard Hopkins. The way I remembered this is Thou Art Indeed Just, Lord = Christianity = Catholicism = Unholyverse = Gerard Way = Gerard Hopkins
Help
I disappeared off the face of the earth for a few days so sorry to y’all if you noticed my absence. Anyways I’m absolutely cooked for my finals. I’m too stupid to make it.
I don’t wanna make it, I just wanna *Totally fire guitar riffs*
Anyway uhh wish me luck. Or don’t. 🤷♀️
If someone told me yesterday I’d be prepping for my coding final with a Destiel Omegaverse practice question…
I would have thought they were insane…
…But here we are…
(Anyone wanna try to solve it? I already know the output lol)
