I’m experiencing something worse than last year when I started this studyblr, I’m such a burnout and I can’t get myself to do anything. But I wanna try again. Maybe I’ll fail but who cares.

[grafiastudies]

Hmm hello, I guess I’m back for a while. At least I’ll try to be.

books?? amazing. paperbacks?? soft, cozy, may fit in your pocket, cheap so you don’t feel bad for taking notes in them. hardcovers??? beautiful, pristine, ground you into the world they hold by making you grip them tighter, the stars of every bookshelf. ebooks?? convenient, cheap, always with you, a vast library that you can hold in your palm. new books?? crisp, the smell of wood, ideas waiting to imprint themselves upon the world. old books?? objects transcending history, sweet smelling, enriched by the hands that stroked their pages. books.

I failed my (first ever) math goal for today. Happens. I could do it right now but I'm not going to lose my sleep for it.

I could have decided to not make this post and let no one know about this (even though not many people even check my blog) but I think I need to write it down. Just to make myself feel more pressured to do it tomorrow (and try to do it more, if I can).

I reached my history and reading goal though, so that's one good thing for tonight... :')

Not gonna lie, I'm extremely sad and disappointed at myself. But I don't want to discourage myself and give up. I'm not going to. Failure is a part of the process. It hurts and I am not trying to make it seem like this is something I can be careless about- I can't.

I can't, yet I failed. I'm not going to completely break down though. I gotta keep going. Just like everyone. This happens to all of us. The most courageous thing we can do is not give up and keep going. If anyone struggles likes me, whether it be with studying or any other important thing in your life- keep going. I believe in you. The power a human holds when determined is beautiful. So don't be discouraged and continue, keep on. I believe in you. <3

Goodnight everyone.

my dream

two sapphic philosophy majors on a study date in the library writing out flashcards and adding a few nerdy jokes then getting told off by the librarian for talking a bit too loud after having a debate about some controversial philosophical concept

Starting to make revision Booklets for my mock exams this December...

I know deferred gratification works best...

Do it for yourself and no one else and you will succeed, it is not a promising truth is a forseeing truth. 💯

Hi!

I'm still in school right now but I have some free time and nothing to do so I decided I might as well post something, because why not?

First photo is my habit tracker I made for myself in my personal notebook (I could also call it a journal but I don't write that much there nowadays) :) I wanna reach some of the goals, I even have my math study planned for today. The second one is just a random photo of my legs, it gives me 2014 tumblr vibes:'D it's not that pretty but I wanted something to fill out the space in the post.

I'll try to update on my studying in the evening! I'll also post some history notes if they turn out well. :)

Have a great day everyone! Drink your water and stay safe<3

Hi everyone, yet again!

I'm trying to post more often now. I created a schedule for myself so I can be more organized with my work. :)

Yesterday I wrote my history exam from Ancient Greece and it was so difficult... I think I did good though! And today we started the topic of Ancient Rome, and, as a person who loves Italy, I'm very excited. :)

I also wrote my math test today and, to my surprise, it wasn't all that bad...! I studied a bit the night before and I think I understood some of the topics? Anyway, the feeling of knowing what you're supposed to write down on a test you thought you'd fail is... amazing. :')

Back to the topic of my new schedule- I'm planning to use some of my time after school to study history, math and french the most. I also decided to pursue a goal of reading every evening and working out at least a bit in the evening (even some yoga or relaxing exercises). I really want to improve my mental health and I think this might just help me.

Also, the photos above are of the area around my school (I took the first one after I got a doughnut from an amazing bakery there) and of Starbucks I went to in the evening (I don't go there much since it's expensive but I decided to treat myself to it just this one time, because why not).

Anyway, I hope you are all safe and well! I'm going to write down my plan for this week now and hopefully finish my history notes (which I might post next time- they're not beautiful but I put a lot of work into them). Love you all <3
