"The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be ignited"
- Unknown
When I get stuck in my mind with imposter syndrome about university, ("This is too hard im
not smart enough to be here.") I have to remind myself that things that are hard to do are worth doing. It's hard now but in time I'll be happy I worked so hard.
If you are reading this remember you are worth it. You are smart enough for the opportunities you have, you just have to keep trying.

Very 2000s Christmas 🩵
❄️DAY 14 OF PRODUCTIVITY❄️
🤍 Visited my mum
🤍 Wrapped gifts to pop under our tree
🤍 Spent time hanging out with our dog
🤍 Made my boyfriends birthday card
🤍 Organised my Christmas revision schedule
Checked if my grades were up 100000 times today as if it had changed 😂. I’m too impatient for this!
❄️DAY 13 OF PRODUCTIVITY❄️
🤍 2 loads of washing down
🤍 Planned my boyfriends birthday celebration
🤍 Submitted the physical chem data sheet I’d finished Friday
🤍 Emptied my kitchen cupboards of empty sauces/boxes etc
My flatmate and I are both still really sick so mostly sleeping and looking after one another ❤️. Tonsillitis haunts me.
❄️DAY 12 OF PRODUCTIVITY ❄️
🤍 Finally got all my Christmas shopping done
🤍 Cleaned the kitchen ready to move home for Christmas
🤍 Used up the rest of my groceries
Just taking time after deadlines to do something else for a change
May have slept an entire day after all my deadlines. Really needed the rest I suppose 😂.
Reminder that working through burnout is not possible and you do need that rest.
❄️DAY 11 OF PRODUCTIVITY❄️
🤍 Math exam taken
🤍 Polymer exam taken
🤍 Lab data analysed and submitted
🤍 Final lab analysis portfolio submitted
It’s been a busy week but I’m so ready for the holiday. Had to pull out an all-nighter to get my portfolio finished once and for all. No matter how well I thought I was doing, it just seemed like the workload was growing for it. I definitely plan to be better prepared next time and want to start doing more regular drafts so it isn’t so rushed.
Pizza and sleep time.
Studied so hard I forgot to post, so I’ll just continue the days from here. More days the better!
DAY 10 OF PRODUCTIVITY
🤍 Studied for my maths in chemistry exam (tomorrow)
🤍 Completed all the math mock exams
🤍 Studied for my polymer exam (tomorrow)
🤍 Worked on my analytical portfolio due for Wednesday
Took a nap halfway through today. I think my brain was just so exhausted that I genuinely couldn’t keep my eyes open.
Lunch break! Take time to refuel ❤️
Little 4am session to complete my math workbooks. Just a recap of all the a level math for chemistry we might be needing over the next 3 years.
6/6 completed ✔️
❄️DAY 9 OF PRODUCTIVITY❄️
Lovely visit to the library with my friend to finish up my Wednesday reports after a long train journey. Not sure if I was annoying the lady next to me on the train while working on my laptop but she kept making awful faces at me 🥲.
🤍Finished my physical chemistry lab report
🤍Completed my data sheet from Friday’s practical. My results are a little strange but hopefully that’ll be more to talk about in my report.
🤍Finished my next tutorial, bar one super annoying question that I’ll need to work on.
🤍Spent some quality time catching up with my friend.
I’ve gotten another cold again so went straight to bed after the library and feel like I’ve been sleeping forever.
❄️DAY 8 OF PRODUCTIVITY❄️
Another cold day, but has anyone else noticed the physical temperature change travelling from north to south England? I can instantly feel the chill when I step off that train.
🤍Currently writing my physical chemistry report due in for Wednesday, whilst watching some random movies to procrastinate of course. Introduction and theory ✔️
🤍Done some more house hunting for next year. Rent prices are really gonna kill me.
🤍Cooked a balanced dinner (really been struggling with this lately).
🤍Made some time to restore some vintage my little ponies! I feel like I’ve really abandoned my hobbies since moving back to uni so it’s nice to set aside some time for this.
💙DAY 7 OF PRODUCTIVITY💙
Took the train home and got a good 3 hours of work in. One more lab report done and loads to go. Our puppy was happy to see me though so makes it all worth it!
❄️DAY 5 OF PRODUCTIVITY❄️
Got my room clean today for viewings to come in later. Had way too many dishes piling up so glad this motivated me to get them out the way. Working from bed today but getting plenty of lecture notes done.
Just couldn’t bring myself to go out in the cold to the library.
Hope everyone’s having a fantastic day! 🫶
🤍DAY 4 OF PRODUCTIVITY🤍
Finally finished and handed in my report! Praying that it’s all good because I really put my heart and soul into it. Went to 4 house viewings today for next year and about to get some lecture notes done while watching the new season of greys anatomy.
Hope everyone’s staying warm!
Hear me out…
the way dark mode looks on word.
❄️DAYS 2+3 OF PRODUCTIVITY❄️
Apologies for the missed post. I haven’t gone anywhere.
Time has flown by. Still working on this lab report it would seem as my numbers are just not adding up.
Looking at it with fresh eyes today so have decided to redo my calculations and fix this. Also didn’t make it into uni so have caught up on any lectures I missed.
Wish me luck 😭.
Really want to try the 30 days of productivity challenge with December deadlines coming up and plenty still to do.
❄️DAY 1 OF PRODUCTIVITY❄️
Tea made in the eras tour mug of course!
As of today, I’m completely caught up on my lectures and am finally finishing my lab report due this week. It’s a long one but I’ll be so glad to have done it by the end of today.
Will be going out to town tonight to relax before the real work starts tomorrow.
Late night session. Library closed at 2am so off to finish my lectures at home.
Food ordered, time to lock in for the night and get these notes done
the only photo I took today. finalized the schedule and materials I will use in my review so I can focus on studying for the next few months.

18/10/2024
Its the official start of the review season but my first day is on Saturday. Plotted the topics for week 1. Tomorrow I'll start answering the handouts. The goal is to start watching the online lectures on Thursday. Will attend classes this weekend too to test the waters on what lectures to attend to. I have to maximize my time now.
I also have to finish my video lectures from another review center to complete my completion phase of the review. The scheduled completion phase should be done last week but I got burnt out last month that's why I'm only starting to bounce back now. My new goal is to finish the completion phase before this year ends.
Since my review era has kicked off, I have to take care of myself more to avoid getting sick.
Some of my health goals starting December are:
eat vegetables everyday
restrict my sugar intake
drink more water (failing miserably on this these days)
16hr intermittent fasting
10k steps per day
try OMAD once a week
Win of the day
finally folded my clothes that I've laundered this weekend
16th day of June 2023
a not so productive day for me. I feel so down lately that my body doesn't cooperate on studying. planned to study tonight but just got the result from one of my exams and I failed it. as much as I want to grind more in order to bounce back, my thoughts are scattered and chaotic so I might just sleep the sadness away. hoping to have a better day tomorrow.
Productivity:
answered theoretical questions on FAR
read estate tax
organized my clothes
Self-care:
3k steps today

29.01.2025🐙
I‘m back. I hope. For days I thought about posting again on Tumblr but somehow I didn‘t. But as exam season is now and I need to apply for an internship and start working and working a little bit on my bachelor thesis and writing two term papers and learn for my exam (not necessarily in this order). So I try to hold myself accountable and looking at other posts gives me motivation.
Things to do in general (until end of march) for university:
Learn for exam (make flash cards)✅
Term paper AI (think about prompt, write exposé, get feedback, write paper)✅
Term paper temple (?)✅
Bachelor thesis (formulate research question, look at R for data analysis, get more data✅, clarify supervisor)
Apply for internship (write applications)
So now I need to time manage well and prioritize my tasks.
Let‘s go and I hope I keep updating you guys. I try to post some pics as well. But today I don‘t have any.
Currently battling to get a simple translation from ChatGPT while it wants to tell me things about terrorism. Which I didn't ask about...
Maybe I should add pictures to my posts. But I need to take some first. Next time.
My essay is coming along. I got some feedback and now need to edit it one final time before submitting it. Which would be one and a half week before the deadline.
The last days I kind of finalized my survey for my term paper and today while at work I started writing the term paper. Luckily we only need to create a survey and not carry it out. I already have around 1/10th but this will go a lot faster than my essay because I can write it in german and it is mainly about my survey. I try to finish it before before the weekend which is very ambitious but the next I planned on spending time with my sister for which I'm really excited.
Also the sun is coming out and I keep forgetting my sunglasses. This morning I was too tired I even took the train in the wrong direction. I'm looking forward to the end of all my deadlines so I can play the new Stardew Valley Update in peace. My for you page is full of people that are excited. I love to see it.
Anyways have a nice an productive day 😊
Finished my first draft! Yey.
I have send it to away for some control and feedback. Now only one paper and 2 and a half research projects remain. And two weeks (actually one because one week I'm visiting my sister)
I hope the paper is faster because I don't have to write it in english. Although I can write and speak and understand it pretty fine writing an essay for university in english hits different.
Finished for the day and will be probably playing Stardew Valley the whole evening.
Motto of the day (and probably the week):
A first draft is better than nothing!
Currently working on my essay and very unsatisfied with the progress and the work I'm producing. But it is better than nothing and from there I can start editing it. But first finish the first draft. (minimum 2000 ZoL left)
