* 🍂₊˚┊ STUDYBLR 30-DAY CHALLENGE.

5 / 30: A photo of your favorite book.

* 🍃₊˚┊ MINIMALIST STUDYBLR CHALLENGE

Week 1: 4. Post anything you like but write about what motivates you to study at the end of the day, when you’re bone-tired, and it’s just you and the textbook.

You should all read this underrated book. City of Circles by Jess Richards. It talks about family and love in a unique way. It's (somewhat) a literary fiction about a girl who wants to know about her birthplace and eventually herself.

Reading really motivates me to study at the end of the day. The idea of you can become who you want to be in a story setting made sense because that's what we've been doing for the rest of our lives. It's not as fast as the stories in a novel but it is what you've been doing, imagining who you want to be in the future. Becoming the character is synonymous with becoming who you are.

When I read, I think of the possible story I will have and that motivates me to achieve that dream more; to study, graduate, and work for the company I dreamed of or the job I always wanted.

* 🍂₊˚┊100 DAYS OF PRODUCTIVITY

Have you thought of your future often? Your Career? Your Home? Your relationship with other people? I do and I am actually thinking about it now.

I've been watching recorded conferences for the past hour now and all I could think about is, how did these people reach where they are now? What went through their minds before finding that eureka moment? How did they end up receiving grants from their research? How did they ever think of such research? I got into this degree without much thought about it. I've been in auto-mode for the past years and now, all I could think of is that I think I wasted my time and energy without even knowing where this path will take me.

I hope I make sense in some ways. I think I need to focus on career talks now that I am halfway through University. 4 more semesters to go.

Week 1: 4. Do a declutter of your study equipment - how many of those pilot juice pens and fine liners do you really need?

I am currently working more on the linear algebra side of tensor calculus. Too much math. Too little time to understand what these are for.

I tried decluttering more stuff but I couldn't find myself throwing the expensive things I got just because I haven't used it in a long time. I will use them eventually but not yet. So, I kept them. Mostly the ones I decluttered are the pens that do not write anymore and also the things that I truly don't and will never use anymore.

* 🍂₊˚┊100 DAYS OF PRODUCTIVITY

'Today's my cousin's debut and I think it was a success. I made her invitation cards. That's the least I could do to her, especially since I was unable to be there.

Academic-wise, I have one class every Wednesday, an electronics laboratory class. We just discussed our online activity, groupings, and simulations, all that jazz. If you're wondering yes our uni isn't implementing the limited face-to-face classes yet. Soon. I am actually hoping it's going to be on the next semester.

Then, I treated myself to a day out. I walked around the city. I know fast food is junk food but I can't help it, I could only get it when I am feeling lucky. I also bought myself some roses. I gave one to one of my roommates, Ate Yayo.

I'll be studying in a moment now. As always, I'll update you every now and then. Also, take good care of yourself. Buy yourself a flower. Go window shopping. Walk and be with the outside even if it's not really nature.

my setup for an afternoon of frantic essay-writing 📚🌤

[bamerakistudies]

I don’t know what I’m doing with my life but right now I have the strongest urge to return to academia and research and collect degrees for the rest of my life

homie I am failing intro level physics how are you a physics major I am in awe of you

Awee 🥺. Thank you so much. You just made my day.

Believe me, I also don't know. 😅 As a matter of fact I may not be failing but I am falling behind my class and have to do extra work to catch up. But I think it's the fact that one day I'll be who I dream to be.

So, screw physics if it's not serving you.

Abnormal Study/Work Things that Actually Help Me

Scrolling through Pinterest, Tumblr, YouTube, etc. for study vibes. Lots of people would say this is a waste of time, but getting in the mood to study significantly helps me. As someone that rarely has the motivation to do things and struggles with low-energy levels daily, seeing aesthetic pictures or watching study-with-me videos gives me the inspiration and motivation I need. 

Multitasking is my best friend. If I’m interested in what I’m working on, this isn’t always necessary, but usually, having multiple things to do at once is helpful. Jumping between similar assignments, working 20min on one long assignment or chore, then finishing a smaller one, then going back to that longer thing, etc. It helps me avoid burn-out and taking breaks that turn into just giving up. 

On the subject of breaks, taking breaks isn’t always the best for me. I know a lot of people rave about the pomodoro method, and while it works to help me get started on something, I eventually let go of that timer once I’m in the groove of working. Taking a break– long or short– will usually just incentivise me to stop working altogether because that ‘break’ is sooo much better than working.  I much prefer long hours or scheduled out work vs play times. 

Having multiple drinks on my desk. This is another form of multitasking to me. Water is always a necessity, but juice, coffee, tea, etc. is a needed addition. Similar to chewing gum, it helps stabilize me and prevent burn-out since my brain has multiple forms of stimuli. 

Long to-do lists. I will literally have 20-30 things on a to-do list typically. Sure, I don’t always finish it all in a day, but writing out that to-do list helps get my mind organized and keeps me focused. Plus, it also helps to avoid procrastination. If I only write out 5-6 things, I’d think “Sure, I can wait to do those. There’s only a few” whereas 20-30 things pushes me to work as soon as possible. 

A lot of people would disagree with how I work, or tell me that there’s a better way, but these are just some things that work for me. Some of us are wired a bit differently, and that’s perfectly fine. Do what works best for you.

* 🍂₊˚┊If I could talk to my future self, what would I say?

[3/30 of 30 Day Blog Challenge]

Hey, I didn't even prepared for anything to say...

Are you well? How are you right now? I could see you've changed. You're different that I am now. To all of the things we've been through, it finally paid off. You did great and I did too. We're all in this together. I am here to always be by your side. To remind you what all of this is for. I am always here to remind you that you are worthy and whatever it is that you are struggling now that I couldn't understand, always remember that I've been through so many things that is not as worse as yours but as worthy to be overcome.

I might resurface things that you've been suppressing but that's good. I mean we can't run away from anything, can we? How's your relationship with your family? Your friends? I am sure they are all proud of where you are now. I am proud of where you are now. Thank you for never giving up. Thank you for standing tall despite everything. It means the world to me that we have this time to chat. I love you so much. I look up to you so much. I am proud of you. Please be proud of yourself too.
