it's back.
the assignment crisis is back.
i feel like stress eating momos (or anything honestly)
i have a speech and an essay due in 4 days and 2 design assignments in 5 days
i have to submit the outline of the speech tomorrow AND i also have to design a post for the socio club's page by day after tomorrow
im not even in any extracurriculars HOW AM I STRUGGLING THIS MUCH
(っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ
i have an assignment due today at 11:59 and im so scared im not going to make it
hoping for the best because i plan on staying in my academic weapon era
(｡ŏ﹏ŏ)
edit: IM DONE WITH THE ASSIGNMENT?????? ONG
i declared my major and minor last week!
(if i sound excited about it, im not)
kind of scared but okay
but it feels nice to say that im doing a psych major with a design minor (ʘᴗʘ✿)
Honestly, it doesn't matter what happens today or how the exam goes.
The fact that you took a course that you don't have much interest in and tried your best to understand the subject matter, the readings and the assignments is commendable.
You've given your best throughout the course and you've prepared to your best level for the final.
Take a deep breath and get out of your head.
Okay love you bye <3
[this is a letter to myself pls ignore lolol]
AAAAAAAAAA
i have to study for 4 finals in 2 days
and i have two papers on one day
IVE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE
HOW DO I EVEN GO ABT THIS
hope i make it through
edit: I MADE IT THROUGH IT'S OVER
SO HAPPY FOR WINTER BREAK HAHAHAHAH
im having yet another essay crisis so im watching essay crisis videos on YouTube. they help motivate me somehow.
(for context: i have a 1000 word philosophy essay due in two days and i haven't started. neither have i finished the 30 page required reading for said essay)
these are the videos btw~
ive taken a philosophy class this term, it's an introductory course but im still intimidated lolol
that's why looking at philosophy studyblrs is nice motivation
25.07.2020
my second semester starts on monday, and while i’m disappointed that i won’t be able to attend classes in person, i’m very excited for my philosophy of religion module. i’m getting a head start by reading and annotating the class notes and reviewing previous epistemology notes on religion.
rant coming up because why not
so i feel like im sucking at the whole "college experience" thing
i haven't hit rock bottom in terms of my academics but im so SO scared that i might. istg college level assignments are no joke and I FEEL LIKE IM ALWAYS LACKING UGH
i haven't participated in any clubs or committees or any student activities. either because whenever there's smtg, im tired or because im undermining/second guessing my skills.
LMAO recently ive also been thinking that im just plain talentless like everyone has their 'thing'. what's my thing? nothing. there's nothing that i can confidently say is my thing.
yeah my self esteem has taken a hit after coming here.
i keep comparing myself to one of my friends and honestly im envious of how she's actually experiencing college and how involved in the clubs/activities she is. and she's so funny, bubbly and smart and everyone likes her.
okay that's it for the rant, ill be fine eventually (atleast that's how i pacify myself). maybe others also feel the way i do, maybe my friend feels this way too and i just don't know it🤷
this felt nice~~~
i love languages sm ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾
random uni photo dump
omfg first class of uni today, im so so scared but it's intro to sculpture so im a littleeeeee relaxed
but then i have academic writing in the evening
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
anyways wish me luck

for future reference
things to study once classes end
for those who want to keep up a habit or just enjoy learning
a new language
a style of literature less commonly studies (e.g. fantasy, science fiction - I took a sci-fi course this semester and it was so fun)
practice an instrument or learn some music theory
take some skillshare courses!
start / join a book club. this isn't really studying but imo most English courses are just really expensive book clubs
learn to read tarot / study other spirituality. I want to get better at astrology
study your local history! your library probably has a bunch of stuff on it
pick up a new hobby or craft and learn the history of it
study the plants in your local forest, aim to create a mini foraging guide
design a heavy programming project for yourself, challenge yourself to learn how to do it before the fall term starts
teach yourself some psychology! there's a LOT about it out there
do a bible study if that's something that suits you
the 1980s UK punk scene. I just took a course on this it's great
really any pop culture era
the Salem witch trials. there's a lot to learn there
if you're up to it, learn the history of some local indigenous / aboriginal groups if you happen to be on colonized land. learn what you can do as an ally (I actually have a reading list for those of you getting in to indigenous American allyship, and you can always reach out to me for a starting point)
literally take out a textbook from a library or get a used textbook off a friend and read through it, annotate it if you can, study the material. It's fun to learn without deadlines looming.
work on your handwriting

STUDY TIPS (note to self):
Sometimes, messy notes work better. Spending years on studyblr and studytwt cemented the idea in my mind that my notes have to be picture-worthy with perfect handwriting and an aesthetically-pleasing color-coding system ALL THE TIME. And while I acknowledge that this works well for others, it simply doesn't for me.
My brain works really quickly when it's trying to understand a topic. So quickly that I often have multiple ideas at a time, and with the addition of my professor's inputs or my classmates' inputs, I really needed to speed up in taking down notes. This meant that my handwriting gets REALLY messy, to the point that only I can decipher it. But the extra time that my messy handwriting buys me (compared to the painstakingly slow neat handwriting) allows me to process the info, jot down the essential points, MAKE IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE IDEAS, doodle maps and symbols, and so on.
But what really helped my note taking process is having my own set of notes from the readings in advance (yes I know this isn't groundbreaking at all but for me IT IS). The night before, I wrote down notes + questions and clarifications that I wanted to address during the class. Then, during the class itself, I added my professor's inputs/classmates' inputs in the remaining spaces of my notes near each topic. This left me with pages that are filled with information both from the readings and the class discussion.
Jotting down notes from the discussion also helped greatly with retention. Since the information from the readings are still fresh in my mind, I was able to easily link the related ideas with the inputs from class. As a result, I remembered and understood stuff better.
Again, not groundbreaking stuff. But see, I've been on studyblr since junior high school (I am now a 4th year college student so that's like, a decade ago). I've been on studytwt since my 2nd year in college. Everywhere I look, I see photos of neat handwriting, color-coded notes, and overall aesthetically-pleasing study set-ups. For years, I tried so hard to do all these but I could never maintain them. I got so caught up with making things pretty that I barely remembered anything at all.
My brain is inherently messy. I always worked better on a chaotic desk, with multiple notebooks open for my notes and doodling/free space for writing down. My handwriting is messy when I write quick. My brain operated by firing multiple connected ideas at once. Neat and tidy don't work when I'm still trying to process or iron out my thoughts. Neat and tidy only works later during exam season, when I'm revising my notes so I can see shit better.
Anyway, this is just what works for me.
tl;dr: write notes in advance based on the class readings but leave space for more jotting down so that you can squeeze in info from the class discussion. Messy handwriting sometimes works better when you're still processing stuf. There's plenty of time to make them pretty later on during revision. Also, neat and pretty doesn't work for everyone (don't let studyblr and studytwt fool you).
I spent today studying for my social psychology exam tomorrow. Very exhausted. Wish me luck!
these are my fav notes i ever made and they're on VERGE OF RUIN (╥﹏╥)
early morning geography study session<(￣︶￣)>
why did i think taking entrepreneurship as a subject in CBSE would be a good idea
