University - Blog Posts
Remember when I said in high school that I wanted to do a difficult degree to push my limits? I take back everything I said, let me sleep and have a social life.
Crying in front of mechanics or mathematics was not my idea of how I was going to spend my evenings as a university student…
More alcohol and fewer theorems would be better
There is a certain beauty in having a normal day.
I wake up at 6am, take my two buses at 7, get to look at the beautiful sunrise with headphones in my ears. I enjoy looking out the window, seeing the busy students and workers striding fast to their destinations. Suddenly, everything seems so lovely. Then i arrive at uni to take my morning classes. Different people are becoming friends.. each individual special in his own way; the way they do their hair, or the lipstick they have on.. even the way they do their hijab.. each one of them seem to be truly unique. I get out at 12 and take my buses again, happy to go have lunch with my mum and tell my brother about my day. Sometimes, the routine is changed slightly by buying a croissant in the morning to take it with my café au lait or reading a book in the bus.
When you're comfortable with who you are and who you're becoming, suddenly everyone seems busy with their own lives. I don't focus on the dark side anymore, i don't focus on the illusion of others mocking me. that version of me simply doesn't exist anymore. I'm now unapologetically my true authentic self.
this year i’m gonna attend a college while being delusional and living my dark academia knowledge superiority classicist stunning university building beauty-craving soul fantasy
how can i romanticise studying at awfully modern university? the building is fairly new and of course everything is technically advanced. but there is no soul in it
what should i do to feel very dark academia mysterious historic beautiful classical aesthetic?
i need help i ain’t agreeing with my university years being so basic
i've been in college for almost two weeks. here are some thoughts:
PS. I'm majoring in Microbiology!
i literally love it, i love being productive
im definitely scared for exams, i have my first ones (2) this week and i've been studying so hard for it. i hope it goes well.
it is not as scary as i thought. for anyone that thinks it is, relax. you'll find your flow soon.
maths will be the death of me
i love all the stray kitties at the parking lot. named one nero and i feed him every day. (nero's name is a personal joke btw)
I've done many assignments and i have a group project with someone i've not yet talked with.
Im so excited for the labs and i love all my teachers except one
I need assurance on that i know what i am doing with my life rn fr
I sweat like a pig every single day
college is so weird. it’s like your surrounded by thousands of people all the time but still feel so isolated.
The new semester is about to start, and as always, I plan to -this time- make the most of it. This time, do all my homework the day I get it. This time, stay motivated. This time, wear a cute outfit every day. Etc.
And I know that, this time, I'm gonna fail again.
The constant pressure and never-ending cycle of due dates truly suck out all the fun and excitement of university.
Or maybe that's just me.

Hi everyone! 👋
Long time no see! How are we all?
I’m so sorry for being inactive. Let’s have a little update.
I’m at medical school! First semester has been amazing. I’ve met so many people, I love all the content. I’m so incredibly happy. I’m currently in the middle of exam season (😬) so I’ll post about those exams soon.
Bigger and better study content coming soon (I promise)!
Love from,
HunnyStudy 🫶🏻💌

Good evening!
A little catch up is needed, I think! :)
I’ve been preparing for university. So far:
Tidy wardrobe 1 ✅
Tidy shelves ✅
Pack bathroom items ✅
Pack kitchen items ✅
Pack study items ✅
Pack bedroom items
Sort bedside drawers
Tidy wardrobe 2
It’s all so close now. I’m so excited. But oh wow, I didn’t realise how much stress and work goes into preparing for uni! A pat on the back to anyone also doing this right now 🙌🏻🙌🏻
How’s your summer going? When do you start school/college/sixth form/university?
All the best! 💛☺️🌼

Hello everyone!
It’s been a little while since I did a normal post. Since exams have been over I’ve been really enjoying just having a lovely little break and not having any studying to do!
However, it’s time I start getting ready for university (which is in less than two months 😳). So, I’m going to start giving updates on the little productive tasks I get done to help me learn how to adult a bit more than I do now.
Today, I fried an egg for breakfast. I know it doesn’t seem like an amazing achievement, but I don’t cook at all so it felt like a very big first step into learning how to actually look after myself independently. Plus, it tasted good!
How’s your summer going? The UK has just had a massive heatwave, it was FAR too warm. ☀️☺️

Good morning!
I’ve woken up early today. I find that waking up any time before 7 always means I have a more productive day. Whilst my days haven’t been too unproductive, they haven’t been as good as they can be, hopefully today this will finally be rectified as I feel quite good. 🤭
To Do List
2018 Physics Paper 2
2019 Physics Paper 2
2018 Biology Paper 1
2019 Biology Paper 1
2020 Biology Paper 1
Later today I’m spending some time with my friends which should be really lovely. 💕
Also, I’m planning on writing some tips on how to do well in Biology, Chemistry and Physics as I feel now I’m doing quite good at them. I hope that incoming posts are useful! 💌
Have a wonderful day! 🫶🏻🤗
With my books, with my exam notes, with my loads of Chrome tabs :') Currently I'm preparing for an English exam that is necessary for my master's applications. Pray for me pleaseee :)))
Additionally, I need to declare my love for the yellow light because it changes the whole aura of the room, especially the desk. For me, it feels like home and I feel safe somehow.

This was from my first psychology exam studying.
The date: March 2020
The time things were about to change :')

Before starting this blog, I talked to my friend that we would share the working environment without worrying about aesthetics. So sorry for the mess :)) Although I am not a person who can not study in a messy environment in general, sometimes it can be better.
Never be a "never can" person. Fighting!!

It was a rainy day... I love days like this. I only had a 50 minute class but I stayed a little longer finishing my pending tasks... I returned home and now I'm moving forward, I hope to finish everything on time.
I have a little math test tomorrow, it will only be two questions.
I have to finish my lab reports.
I started university a few weeks ago, it was a great experience. I am adapting to this change. Next week the practical exams for all the courses begin. I feel terrified and at the same time I have a strange feeling.
Hi, I from France. I study in CPGE, kind of a science class before engineering school. I love watching studyblr and bullet journal posts, and lately I wanted to make my own. I'm not really good at pretty notes, organised desk and perfect writing even if I love seeing those posts. I'm aware that there are already a lot of studyblr but I study quite a lot and I think studyblr community can be a good motivation for me. Also it's been more than a year that I'm using a bullet journal even if mine is quite simple but still helpful.
second year of uni is over!
felt like it was yesterday that i moved in, all excited for the new year and it's suddenly just over :(
also technically it's not over because i have an abnormal psychology exam still left tomorrow but most of my exams/jury exhibitions are over and i feel sad ngl
but anyways i will try my best to study for the last exam after a cute dinner i had last night while watching apothecary diaries (love maomao sm)
