♡My mum bought me a surprise journal. It's really cute and I think I'll use it as a study log to keep myself on track♡

♡16♡06♡2018♡ I've been studying a lot over the last few days. I would have liked to have taken some pictures and posted more but I've been really kicking into my studies after my long break. I've been using a mini (itty bitty) notebook for keeping track of my tasks and doing a bit of art whenever I feel like it. I'm not gonna let myself sabotage my future because I don't want to study right now. I'm gonna push through and become a better version of myself that future me can be proud of. Love ya (｡’▽’｡)♡

It's been so long. I've been struggling with some stuff up until recently and I finally got some help. But now I'm really far behind in school. Great. I gotta keep going though, as my teacher says "The next 6 months will determine the next 5 years of my life". It might be a bit exaggerated but I know there's some truth in it. I have places I wanna go, things I wanna do and people I wanna see. I don't have time to excuse my own behaviour anymore. And I'm not saying I'm gonna be perfect from here on out, I'm not and that's okay, but hopefully I'll be able to get myself back up and try again. It's good to be back. Here's to the end of my life as a highschool student being the best I can make it.

Are fedoras really that bad?

YES YES THEY ARE

Hi, I've been really sick. I don't know exactly what it is but I don't like it. I have hardly left the house since last Wednesday. But that doesn't mean my brain isn't up for some good ol' procrastination! I've pretty much done nothing. I don't feel bad for it. My body needs rest and I shouldn't hold myself to the expectation that I do when I'm fully functioning (as if I've ever been fully functional). This post is pretty much for no reason but I felt like it was worth saying. Just when I was starting to attempt to get my life back together I get my annual week-long sickness. YAY

It's gonna be okay

I spent an hour and a half planning a study schedule and making it today. I've done this before and I've never kept up with it, but I'm determined this time. Today I actually did get through everything. I didn't stick completely to the times I set out but I got done what I set out and that's all I needed to do. I also took the dog out and cleaned my room a bit. For a day that's been a bit up and down, things are going well. I'm finally starting to look after myself.

I've talked to my school's nurse and she's been giving me tips on my diet and exercise. For the first time in a while, I feel like I have a really good chance at getting back to my life and not being trapped inside my head. I know I can't do this alone, and I'm still seeing people to help me, but it's nice to feel in control of my own head again. It just feels so good.

how to begin studying

sometimes, the hardest part of anything is getting started- studying included! it can be so difficult to sit down and make yourself work when you’re not in the mood, but sometimes it’s necessary. soooo i thought i’d share my general pre-studying routine that usually gets me in the zone!!! i hope this helps some of you lovelies

xx sophia

tidy/clean your desk or study area: honestly, if any of my room is disorganized, there’s no chance of me focusing- but let’s just start with the desk. make sure it’s clear and free of any distractions, put away any old papers lingering from your last study session, and just generally try to declutter a bit! clear desk = clear mind

change into clean, comfortable clothes: now, this doesn’t necessarily mean pajamas, but when i get home from school i usually dress down a bit into something a lil cozier. something snug but practical, you feel??? that way, you can be nice and relaxed but still in the “get shit done” kinda mood. if that means a skirt and a button down, awesome!!! if that means your set of hogwarts robes, perfect!!! whatever works for you

illuminate: good lighting is key!!!! it’s miserable studying in a darkened room with only one light near you, and can cause unnecessary strain on your eyes as well. light it up!!! open your shades, turn on some fairy lights, whatever brightens up your surroundings

light a scented candle: yeah the aesthetics of candles are amazing, but you know what’s even better??? they smell incredible AND the scent can help relax your brain and stimulate it at the same time!! lemon scents are one of the best options though i have a weakness for festive and seasonal candles

keep snacks and water nearby: this is especially important if you’re trying to pull an all-nighter or working for an extended period of time. i cannot emphasize this enough, water is so important. keep a bottle of water within arm’s reach of your studying area so that you don’t get up to get a drink and get distracted! same goes for snacks- feed yo brain while you work! pick a healthy snack (blueberries are a godsend) and keep it by you to maintain your energy levels

put on some motivational music: if listening to music helps you focus, pick a playlist or album before you start working so you don’t begin shuffling through songs and getting distracted! or if white noise is more your thing, go for that. you can find my list of study sounds here!

gather your stationery/study materials: make sure everything you need to study is in the general vicinity! if you have to get up and start searching for textbooks or that stray mildliner it might break your concentration… figure out what you need to work, and keep it near you!!

get started: there you go!!! easier said than done, but sit yourself down and get going. you can do it!!! i believe in you
