[macchiatosandmotivation]

worked a lil early morning shift today and have spent / am spending the rest of my day at my desk, alternately reading and writing and drinking a lot of tea and also generally reminding myself to breathe and love and create

9/4/2020 | It was requested, so here’s the utter carnage of our desk. I literally don’t even have a desk chair, I’m using an armchair piled high with cushions so I can reach the table.

✨With most schools, colleges and unis closed around the globe and most studyblr students now having school at home I thought I would create a challenge to help everyone stay focused and productive and also to connect with people so even though most people are self-isolating, we don’t feel lonely✨

✨Info✨

Because no one really knows when we’re going to be able to go back to schools and I know it will depend very much on where you live, I’m going to do a month of daily ‘challenges’ starting on Monday 23rd March 2020 but if the quarantine keeps going I’ll try to add as the weeks/months go on

I want to see what y’all are posting so please use the tag #2020 quarantine challenge and I’ll track this tag and reboot as much as possible!

Hi all! Wow, long time no talk! Sorry about that, haha. School had gotten really hectic, but now with online school I think I’ll have more time to post more! Right now this is my bullet journal spread, minimalist and only dailies. As you can see, motivation isn’t really that strong for me right now, but I’m working through it. Hope you’re all doing well!

[macchiatosandmotivation]

If you are beginning your semester of school this upcoming week or sometime soon; I am wishing that you transition smoothly into your academic environment. I hope that you develop comfortable relationships with your professors and instructors. I pray that any financial burdens that have arisen be resolved timely and easily.

ok so apparently not a lot of ppl know to do this when ‘reviewing notes’ but

look at section of notes

look away from section of notes

explain section of notes

check if explanation was correct

identify mistakes/gaps

recite correction for each mistake/gap

repeat until no mistakes

gotta practice recalling the info instead of just acknowledging its correctness

how to *actually* prepare for back to school

ok so i go back to school v soon (august 7th to be exact) and here are some of my tips that i use to help prepare myself for going back to school.

start your routine. now. at least a week before your first day of school, get into your routine. get up when you’re supposed to and go to bed when you should (11 for me at the latest). as for the “school day,” busy yourself with reading, playing video games, working, the like. but try to get home when you would from school and kinda pretend like you’re back in school and “do homework” or workout or whatever you would do when you get home. starting that routine now will make it soooo much easier when the school year actually starts

figure out how much sleep you need to function and fix your sleep schedule. do i have to explain this one??? just don’t stay up until 2am the night before you’re first day of school because you’ll be screwed for the rest of the year :)

get your supplies. ok this one is a given. whether you’re paperless or not, get at least a folder to keep stray papers. i would also recommend having a separate folder just for lined paper bc you never know when you need it and idk about you but i hate ripping papers out of notebooks

get new clothes. you don’t necessarily ~have~ to do this one but it’s nice to have a semi-new wardrobe before you head back to school. when i wear something new, i feel more confident and i’m more excited for the day so it kinda makes me excited to go to school. 

pick out your outfits for the first week. this relates to getting new clothes. i like doing this (every week) because it’s one less thing i have to do/think about in the morning. plus it should make you excited for going to school because you get to wear your (hopefully) new clothes.

get your food!! i bring my lunch to school every day (yup, 180 days a year times 12) so before that first day rolls around, get some food for your lunch! whether that be a nice drink, some snacks, a fancy salad, or the like, just get it because it will also make you more excited for school

whiten your teeth. gotta have those nice pearly whites when school starts to show every how you glowed up over the summer

speaking of glowing up…skincare!!!! having clear skin makes everyone so much more confident so make that first day so much better by having clear skin. you won’t feel nearly as self-conscious and you’ll actually (maybe) enjoy the day. 

set out everything the night before. again, makes your mornings *that* much easier/better so you won’t be running late

have a positive attitude. yes it’s school and no one really likes going back to school but try to have a positive attitude about it. you’re one year closer to graduating, it’s a fresh start, you get to meet new friends, (hopefully) you’re taking classes you enjoy, and you’re getting back into a routine. yes school can be very stressful but hopefully, if you follow some of the tips above, it won’t be as stressful as it could be. 

best of luck everyone. i’m rooting for you :)

xo- gg

july 31, 2019

this morning i reviewed some of my older nahuatl notes and did a little bit of planning. i took a break from nahuatl because i had a lot of pre-orientation things to do, but looking back at my notes reminded me of how much i enjoy learning the language.

STOP SCROLLING. Okay hi! If you happen to see this on your timeline, I just wanna say that I am so proud of you. You are worth it to me. In case no one has told you today, I believe in you. You are smart, worthy of respect, and more than enough. You are here for a reason.

[macchiatosandmotivation]

as you may or not know, the end of the school semester meant the end of my mossery academic planner :( I loved that thing to death, but I knew I had to choose between making an investment for a brand new one or digging up one of my old blank journals to attempt bullet journaling again.

obviously, the latter won- but I’m pretty happy with the results so far! this time around I’m trying to keep my spreads as clean and simple as possible and it’s really working wonders for how hectic my schedule’s been lately. here are some spreads from the past two weeks. personally, I think I like the format of the second spread better. here’s to change!
