i’m slowly becoming a morning person.

06/12/20 you just got a full time baby 💕

Note to self:

I know you are exhausted. I know you’ve been giving everything you’ve got but nothing is happening. Trust me girl, your hard work will pay off. Right now I just need you to give it everything you’ve got and own it. The best is yet to come. And when it does come, dang it will be the best feeling you will ever have because you know you worked hard for it.

I believe in you. Try one more time ❤

(Don’t mind this blurb. Sometimes I get really tired of everything so I need my own self to motivate me 😂)

some things i’ve learned while studying in quarantine

drink more water instead of more coffee.

weekly goals are bullshit. set yourself 3-day goals. you’ll be less laid-back.

don’t just mindlessly stare at words. before you start studying, know your approach to it. have a plan.

summarizing the concept in your own words is the key part of taking notes. don’t just copy things down, convert them into your own way of talking, your own vocabulary, no matter how dumb and unprofessional it sounds.

don’t let the “studyblr aesthetic” fool you. studying doesn’t have to be pretty. summaries and notes can be messy as long as they’re comprehensible. you can always rewrite and reorganize them later. (honestly, you better do. and you better keep them.)

don’t throw away the papers you’ve solved your problems in. staple them to the fucking textbook. you need to see them constantly. cause you’ll need reminders of how far you’ve came, when you’re feeling discouraged.

don’t be an armchair analyst for your issues. if you have an idea then act on it.

remember: the exact point where it becomes difficult, is where your growth begins. take a deep breath, and try to focus on the paragraph in front of you.

get off your high horse and understand that if you’re a zero, you won’t go to 100 in a couple of days. first, you’ll need to reach 30, then from 30 to 60, and then from 60 to 90. nobody is 100 everyday. that happens very rarely.

you need to have fun everyday. you need to have peaceful time every single day. even on exam night. especially on exam night, actually. so make sure you’ve studied enough so you can have some time to yourself.

once you’re on a roll and in need of some challenge to stay on track, start writing down your studying hours. tell yourself you’re not allowed to do less than 80% of what you did yesterday. whatever the hell it was, even just one hour. so if yesterday you really studied for like, say 8 hours, today your goal is to study for at least 6 and a half hours. if you can’t keep up with that, make it 70%, or 60%. 

be forgiving of yourself. be kind to yourself. even if you bounced back and lost your streak. start again. as slowly as you did before. take your time. it’s okay, you were there once you can get there again.

Mon: Take a picture of your study space

Here’s my half of the desk, I’m not showing my flatmate’s half because it is unbridled chaos. 

[nightly-studying]

be with people who make you feel like yourself. be with people who have never judged you for your flaws. with those who make flowers bloom in your chest, with those who feel like a warm blanket. they'll always cherish you. ♡

Do you make a study schedule to keep yourself on track when working from home?

I've never found schedules work for me, I prefer to set myself a bunch of mini deadlines in the lead up to one big deadline and try to meet them as best I can. If I miss one though, I won't beat myself up over it, I tend to manage my time well enough to give myself wiggle room

now that most of us are at home, i thought this could be useful to the ones who aren't that used to learning material on their own and aren’t sure where to start, or which order of steps to follow. happy studying! 💗

complete a German lesson on Duolingo (349-day streak! 🔥) 

do two loads of laundry 

work on study unit 5 labour law summaries 

Listening to: Berlin by RY X 🎧
