I’m really focusing on studying languages these days; being able to understand what I usually watch it makes me so proud of myself. I haven’t found books I’d like to read next month yet, and it’s quite annoying. Maybe because I am still stuck with young-adult fantasy readings, I just wanna sketch and read prompts about my favourite characters. It’s a reading slump, I can feel it..!

Study hour: 5H59M

I have been watching the documentary “ #Explained ” on Netflix recently. The episode about #Anxiety and #Mindfulness really inspired me and remind me how much I used to enjoy meditation. I have difficulties to feel my emotions or connect with my inner-self. It is really hard for me to know how stress or exhausted I am. Sometimes, I have a sudden breakdown, couldn’t tell others why I am upset because I literally have no idea why. Daily meditation is definitely necessary for my final year

Rearranged my desk yet again. It’s cute to have lots of things out on display, but when it came down to doing assignments, I got super stressed and distracted. So I rearranged and opted for a slightly more simple and open look.

111117 | i was studying for my bio exam at a cafe in a library after school. i ended up getting a 74 on the test, which kind of sucks, but i am sure that i can do better next time! :-) dont let a bad grade demotivate you! ♡

things I wish i would have known my first year of University

1) Make an outline for your papers. it doesn’t have to be detailed but having one will help you keep on track when writing. it will only take you a few minutes to brainstorm one. 

2) always carry a spare charger and a backup battery for your phone. honestly, our phones are an extension of us now, so nothing is scarier than when it dies halfway through your class. a backup battery and a charger are always handy.

3) set smaller deadlines and stick to them. you might flounder if you decide to have your 2000 word essay all done and edited for March 14. but you might have an easier time deciding to have 500 words written by March 8, 1000 words by March 10, 1500 words by March 11, 2000 words by March 13, and to edit it on the 14th. these smaller deadlines have really helped me to get my work done and to not to stress about deadlines. splitting up my assignments into smaller chunks makes it more manageable. 

4) email your professors if you have questions. or go to their office when they’re in. don’t sit there in confused silence, it won’t help. 

5) Do practise Self-care and take breaks. these don’t always have to be full days off with a spa day. it can be having a bubble bath after studying for hours, or watching a movie that makes you laugh after finishing an essay. or just making sure you're eating healthy and drinking water. 

6) do put important dates in your calendar. weather its a psychical calendar, or one on your phone/ computer. I have all my major dates on my computer laptop, it helps when I am studying and wondering when I have an exam or need to remember when to hand in a paper. 

7) always have a highlighter, a pencil, a pen, and spare paper. you never know when you’re going to have a pop quiz or an activity in class. 

8) reach out to friends and spend time with them/ your family. people tend to isolate themselves during exam/paper/midterm season. while you definitely need to study, you also need to have social connections. make a study date at your library or even get a coffee with a friend.

august 21st 2019 — hey again, i finally received the rest of my courses and i cannot wait to dive into them!! right now i’m studying literary devices with my super cool pen with a mini funko eleven *.*

Tomorrow I’m going to have my first French lesson in a really really long time and I’m kind of nervous. I studied French for like 5 years in high school but I can barely remember a thing, I’ve been trying to study a bit before the classes and I can read and understand a lot of things but the speaking part..... oh well... anyway I’m really excited cause I really want to be good at it (plus I really need it for my studies). Here is a little notebook I got for my French notes :)

Hello there, have a lovely week ahead!

another week means another chance at doing better this time

[punkacademics]

journal series: it’s one of the hardest things in the world to try to be a productive student when you have anxiety. it’s also, I’ve learned, one of the bravest things in the world. to be able to get up in the morning and build enough energy to try and affect change in your life; even if that means doing something as little as printing out a study guide due in a week. even the little things can help you grow. so if you’re like me, and you feel like you’re doing everything under the sun to be the best you can be, but you still feel like it’ll never be enough, take a moment to think about what you have accomplished instead of what you haven’t. and know that maybe tomorrow you’ll feel a little bit better and get a little more done. I promise you that you have enough time. it’s going to be okay.

Hi! I haven’t posted anything in a while (again). Starting uni is quite an overwhelming process! The weather has been absolutely awful for the last couple of weeks and as it’s already October so I don’t expect it to get better (winters in russia (near the ural mountains at least) usually start in late october-november). Actually, I’m really excited for winter this year (idk why though, I always hated this time of the year). Oh, and I’m craving some apple pie right now (can’t wait to go home tomorrow and make one with my mom)
