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.

My history exam was kinda good, I think I did a good job, and I'm so happy that I don't have to learn that anymore, and I can spend time with my uni stuff and other things in my life.

My second semester is also almost over. I loved my first semester, but this was a nightmare, so I'm happy it's almost over and I hopefully can go to another uni in September🌞

I'm still alive✌️

I disappeared because there are a lot of things going on now in my life.

I've lost control over uni shit, I don't attend online lectures, only a few, I don't do the presentations, I just don't give a fuck, but I hope I can go to the other uni next year so it won't matter anyway.

I'll have my history exam on Wednesday, so wish me luck😅

(day 2/100 of productivity • spring term 🌷) Right, so I rewrote my lecture notes from the first stats meeting and then covered the next chapter as well. I also finished the stats homework, so now I can focus on my other three classes for the remainder of the week.

Find the beauty in every day ✨🌼 Hope you’re all doing fine.
