student self-care: but not necessarily the feel-good kind edition

1. what have you been procrastinating on? afraid to do? make a list. put it on your google calendar. be very honest with yourself. put every single task you have to do, schedule it, block out your calendar if you have to. it’ll help you in the long run even if it’s scary at first.  2. sort the loose papers settled at the bottom of your backpack. don’t risk losing precious class notes or syllabi or readings. use folders to classify them by subject. label them clearly. sort them by chronological order and label what class and what part of the syllabus they’re from. you’ll thank me during exam season. 3. evaluate your finances. have a way of keeping track of them. personally, i tend to spend a lot on food and coffee when i’m stressed. make a budget and stick to it.  4. if you’re struggling in a certain subject, make some time for it. i know it’s painful and easier to procrastinate, but make time. set a certain quota of pages to read. email your professor for help and consult if you have to. 

5. eating healthy isn’t necessarily eating delicious. i know everyone posts their croissants and lattes and cakes (guilty) but eat that salad, eat your vegetables, eat a balanced diet. it’s brain food and it’ll sustain you and help you focus better. 6. take the time to really care for yourself. make it a routine. take daily walks, count the glasses of water you have, make sure to shower regularly. do your laundry and clean your room. take your medication regularly, schedule doctor’s appointments if you need to. your health is much more important than school, and your wellbeing will help your performance. 7. sleep is good. regular sleep is good and necessary. but know when you have to sacrifice a little sleep to get things some very hard things done. then sleep after.  self-care isn’t always pretty. sometimes it’s about being disciplined and confronting what you’re afraid of. but it will make things easier and lighter for you in the long run. just one day at a time.

nice morning with administrative law // 01.27.2020

It was my first day at uni today, it's my last first day at school.

I'm on placement now so it's not really uni but it feels like more than uni now. It was tiring today being present all day and having so many new things going on. There was a myriad of new people and places and sounds (although one was the exact sound of my alarm). I don't really know what to make of it all, I haven't formed an opinion about it, just that it was today and it was a lot.

Thanks for reading

06.02.20 // I’m finally officially back in school and I love it! I think being away from school and human activity in general really dampens my mood so I was so happy to be surrounded by new friends and the sunshine and it’s just a good feeling. I hope you had a good day today as well, and if not, tomorrow’s always another chance to try again :)

Mozart’s Coffee Roasters (01.29.2020)

One of my favorite places to study when the weather is nice. Free wifi, bottomless coffee, and gorgeous lake views.

I always spread my things out far too much when studying hehe

But overall I'm proud of myself for actually keeping up with my new year's resolutions for studying this far.
