Q> What are your goals for the 2nd half of 2019?

A> I'm just willing to experience college the best way possible and I'll sort everything out after I've settled in.

> To me, July is about Friendship. Cos against everything i have heard from seniors about the rapid growth of fragility in friendships from school, there are a few people i wanna cling on to till long after.

> Team 7 cos they showed unparalleled amount of teamwork and cooperation in the face of adversity, and not to mention the relation Naruto and Sasuke shared.

> I officially start my journey of learning Japanese with this post. I'll try to learn as much as i can over the years of college.

> I actually memorized hiragana and katakana in 11th standards but forgot it over the next 2 year. Right now, the plan is to first replenish hiragana and katakana before college and start taking baby steps with Kanji

I had JEE Mains(the prelims for the main engineering entrance exam) yesterday. And god i felt powerless in front of a tough paper. I did 55 questions and I could do 6-7 more maths i had more time. There's a lot of students complaining about how the paper on 4th day was tougher than the previous 3 days. But that's NO EXCUSE for me.I'm willing to do something about it.. As far as i can push myself. I have 43 days left till JEE Advanced. As much as I'm terrified of the situation, I'm willing to make the next 43 days the hardest working 43 days of my life. It's Now or Never!

🌿I felt like making this. At this point I'm desperate to get back on track. This probably was the worst time for a burnout to show up. I'm experiencing this shit for about a month now and there's less than a month remaining to my exams. It's now or Never, i understand but it's harder than ever to stay consistent with my routine. I am getting hyper-productive days once in a while but that doesn't help unless it's everyday. At this point, I'm not aware of what I'm doing wrong but it's needs to be corrected.

//

🌿So i just spent a little time to make this, putting some good quotes from famous people to things my friends said. Nobody can change shit, it's upto me. The last thing i say to myself is,

I DON'T WANNA LOOK BACK AND KNOW I COULD'VE DONE BETTER.

😑Disclaimer: That's not a big 'MEME'.

April 2:Day 44/100 Days of Productivity

Worked a lot and got a lot done yesterday. I live for the feeling at the end of a day like this. No time for writing a long post, gotta keep manufacturing days like this.

Enjoy me messing around with my phone at 5 pm, on the roof.

Live for the Journey, not the Destination

Been hovering on my head for a while,

'What if i realize all this wasn't even worth it at the end?'

//

🌿All the dreams and all the plans are made according to my present self's perception of what will fulfill me. Whereas i can't be sure about what my future self would be proud to look back at, and it's a really frightening thought to me to think all this pursuit can end up equivalent to a waste to be taken out.

//

🌿That's why i think it's important to live for the journey, not the destination. Find joy, find fulfillment, find yourself in your activities.

Don't just rude for the goal in kind, Enjoy the grind.

That way i can examine my thoughts and experiences on field and steer the wheel accordingly.

Even though many are doing somethings for the time being which are only fueled by our circumstances and leaves no other option, i think that process can be made a bit more enjoyable too.

Just my opinions and thoughts.

In the midst of everything that's going on in my life, I almost forgot that April is starting tomorrow. And it's been a really long time(over 2 years) since i used colour pencils, it did feel a little odd holding it.

No idea how many beautiful springs we'll get, make the most of it

A multipurpose mechanical pencil screeching under unseen words every now and then, couple of pages flipped, and fingers start rustling on the keypad, praying Google for help. After grasping, the words need to be put on paper in an organized manner.

For the first time, I'm reading at 6-8 minutes per page, 'To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf' is turning out to be pretty much asking me to venture out of my comfort zone.

I was about to put it down and keep to much familiar Khaled Hosseini due to the concerns when i was reminded that it was ALRIGHT to go slow and Google 4-5 words per page(thanks didi @dabbascience) . It's the path to a better vocabulary. Well, here i go, this very book might take 2-3 months but might improve my English more than all the other ones so far.

Hi, what's the app in your last post? The day 40 of 100 days? It looks super helpful!

The app is called 'Forest'. And the challenge is called 100 days of Productivity (we basically try to be as productive as possible and track our progress for 100 days). And the app has nothing to do with the challenge.. You can check out the purpose of the app on play store or app store. 🐼

29th March: Day 40(100 days of Productivity)

Another highly productive day. I selected 'To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf' over 'And The Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini' for reading,and boy oh boy, that's some fierce English for my capacity and grasp on the language. But i look forward to stepping out of my comfort zone. Well said is the line that Learning pace skyrockets once you leave your comfort zone. And let's keep the 700 min streak going. 🐼

March 27th: Day 38(100 days of Productivity)

Been a long while since i updated. A little bit of burnout was there to say hi at the worst possible phase. But no space for excuses in here. Went through mostly with average amount of Productivity, not much of reading and workouts.

But with an evening off studies, sketching and reading instead, i bounced back strong with a 12 hours study day and that feeling of accomplishment at the end of a hyper productive day keeps me all guns blazing for about a week.

With only 53 days to go till my college entrance exams.... WHATEVER IT TAKES! I just remind myself to make sure that the Me of 53 days from now isn't disappointed in the me of today.

i need to love myself more.

Why is it Important to Believe?

'Either you believe you can, or you believe you can't. You're absolutely correct'

🌱The human brain is a fascinating thing. We are still to know it's full potential. The brain is broadly consist of 2 parts, The conscious mind and the Subconscious mind. Conscious mind is the one you monitor and the Subconscious is the one that monitors you. Subconscious mind makes you act like you do.. Walk like you do(your own style) and talk like you do without needing you to think about it. Subconscious mind keeps your heart racing and systems working even when you're unconscious(or sleeping). By properly using their Subconscious minds.. People have recovered from uncurable diseases,achieved unbelievable things and made so called impossible things possible (don't believe me.. Read this book: "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind"). The thing is..Your Subconscious Mind can't identify between jokes and light talks..flattery or serious words. The biggest well wisher of yours is your brain. It doesn't understand what's good or what's bad.. It only distinguishes between what makes you happy or sad. As simple as that.

🌱Suppose you set a goal to go to gym at least 20 days a month(you've never went to gym before). At the end of a month.. You being you.. End up going only 7 days. The difference is made by your mindset when you look at it. If you think 'shit... I missed 13 days of my goal... This is too tough for me.. I'm way too busy to go the gym anyway' or you contemplate it like 'cool! I went 7 days to the gym.. I never went there before.. It was really useful for me and good for me. I can sneak up some little times from the daily schedule for this.. Let's try better next month'.

🌱Both are judging the same thing but in two different ways.. (As the trivial words used like.. Optimistic and pessimistic). But due to the first deduction.. Bad hormones are released in your brain(let's just call them bad hormones.. I don't wanna Google them) whereas in the second case.. Good hormones(like dopamine) is released. Thus your sweet little innocent Subconscious mind thinks that the gym made you unhappy in the first case and will make it harder to find time or motivation further.. While in the second case.. It will interpret that the gym made you happy and blah blah blah.. Basically it's good for you and your body.

🌱I know the quotes like.. "if you can dream it.. You can do it" or "you can't achieve something you don't believe you can achieve" seems stupid. I felt the same way too. But with several experiments and... It is proven that they actually make sense.

🌱So.. With all that in mind..your should brace yourself for a prosperous journey. And point your aim at your target. All the good behaviors with people.. All the hours you studied.. All the parties you missed.. All the people you have ditched.. Will go to waste if you don't end up where you wanted to be. YOU DIDN'T COME THIS FAR, JUST TO COME THIS FAR. So.. *You have to believe in yourself first*

And be positive.. There's nothing that you can't do.

💥*All you have to do is *BELIEVE IT*

🌱Fuck the Aesthetic! Don't study for the likes. Study to grow. All the beautiful notes aren't how most of us study. But all the attention in the community goes to the 'AESTHETIC'.

//

🌿I dare you to post your messy unorganized notes, where the lines aren't straight, ink is bleeding from the back, ones with mistakes without the fineliners and 7 different colours markers.

//

🍀I urge the community to show more love to these not-so-pretty notes.

//

🍂Notes are made for studying. Not for Studygram or Studyblr. Make your notes count on the exams,instead of likes on instagram.

❤️Anime is One of the biggest reasons I'm still fighting, trying my best and not giving up. I bet it has served a similar purpose for millions.

//

🌱Unlike most of Western or Indian cartoons, Anime shows characters, ups and downs, deaths, defeats, loses and all the things reality is actually about. And once you can resonate with them, you have transcended the barrier of whining and giving up. You believe in yourself when nobody else does.

//

🌿Over the 5 years and over 130 series and movies, anime has taught me a lot, more than reality tbh and is responsible for who i am today.

🔸Anime taught me that Friendship is the ultimate Relationship in this world, not Love.

🔸Anime taught me it's worth fighting for things you care about.

🔸Anime taught me that Happiness is A CHOICE. You can choose to be happy in any situation.

🔸Anime taught me its ok to cry

🔸Anime taught me that 'Hard Work Beats Talent'

🔸Anime taught me the value of sacrifice

🔸Anime taught me that everyone doesn't have to like me. It's totally ok to not care about everyone.

🔸Anime taught me that Either you think you can, or you can't you're right. You need to BELIEVE IT.

🔸Anime taught me to Not live my life for anyone else.

🔸Anime taught me that no one is completely good or completely evil.

I’m sure you’re mesmerized by my pro calligraphy skills🐼😅 🐶March 7:Day 18(100 days of Productivity) // 🌱'Everyone works hard on good days.. BUT, How hard you WORK on bad days makes the DIFFERENCE’ Idk if anyone else said thia before me. // 🌿Like it or not, Success is the successor of Hard Work & Competition. So, if you wanna stand out in the crowd, if you wanna be better than others. First, you just gotta do what others are doing and then do what others aren’t. Simple equation. No numbers. // 🔥DON’T STOP BURNING🔥
