• it’s ok if you accomplish things “more slowly” than other people • it’s ok if you find difficultly in what others consider “easy” • it’s ok if you fall behind, you will still reach your destination • it’s ok to take life at your own pace

20 questions tag

sorry for my unspoken hiatus but I was having a break after my a levels, thank you @honeststudying and @canadian-studyblr for tagging me!  💖

Since I never really introduced myself I guess this will act as an ice breaker??

Rules Answer 20 questions then tag 20 followers you would like to get to know better! (warning in advance I don’t have 20 followers LOL but I tagged people who looked interesting and a handful of followers)

Name: Catrin

Nickname: Cat, was called Goldilocks when I was lil bc my curly hair was blonde back then!!

Height: 169cm (5′7)

Zodiac sign: Sagittarius

Orientation: Bi n taken

Nationality: Welsh, UK!

Favorite fruit: This is hard.. I love citrus fruits though! Right now I think pineapple sounds pretty good  🍍 ✨

Favorite season: Summer (even though my birthday is Dec), seeing the sun out just makes me feel so much more happier

Favourite flower: Lavender, the smell is super nostalgic to me

Favourite scent: I love super earthy scents!! 

Favourite food: Spaghetti bolognese or my grandmother’s homemade lasagne, also pizza never goes a miss or a good cookie

Favorite colour: I’d say green currently? But this changes with blue and sunshine yellow (I’m indecisive) 

Favorite animal: Wolves!

Tea, coffee or hot chocolate: Hot chocolate for sure  ☕ 💕

Average sleep time: Right now (it’s the holidays), I’d say 10 hours. During school probably 7? This may change once I’m in uni though!!

Favorite fictional character: I don’t really watch star trek anymore but data still has a special place in my heart

Cat or dog person: Dog person, although I own a chubby cheeked british short haired cat called Winston

Dream trip: Somewhere super sunny! My mum doesn’t like warm countries and it’d probably be quite an expensive holiday, so when we go we normally just stay in the UK. My dad was born in Cyprus so that would be an interesting place to visit!

Dream job: Currently? Not a clue, but I’ll have to get thinking soon 

Why I created this blog: To help motivate and act as a distraction with personal issues I was facing at the time - I went on hiatus for most of break, but plan to come back in time for my first year of uni and it’ll be great finding out more about you guys with the 20 q tag! x

so excited for exams to be over, only biology unit 4 (wjec) and shakespeare to go!! this is my first time revising properly (this year, A2), as i was lazy :( 

if i do badly then at least i know i tried my best!

[sunbearstudies-blog]

best of luck for tomorrow!!

15 June 2017// I revised a little of endocrine systems. My last exam is tomw. It’s for bachelor’s and master’s in molecular biology. I really really hope I make it. It’ll be a very good back up and is something I like. So, let’s just hope now. I’ve to wake up early and travel for 3hr because that’s how far the uni is. It’s at my old place.

🎧Astronaut - Simple plan Do give that song a listen. I heard it after a long time today when I was stargazing after a brisk walk (in order to collect all the good luck from the stars above)

things to do this summer

i’ve been getting a good amount of requests for fun things to do this summer that don’t require a lot of money so i’ve compiled some of my favorite things into a list :~)

paint by numbers - you can pick up these at your local hobby lobby or michaels

gardening - buy some flower/veggie seeds at your garden store, find a patch of dirt that gets sun, and you’re in business! plus when flowers bloom you can make little bouquets!! 

go thrifting or to local flea markets and set a spending limit - see what you can get on the cheap!

learn a new language using a handy app like duolingo

find somewhere you can travel locally within an hour or two from your house - hiking trails are free and you get great sights + exercise !

film photography - i highly recommend minoltas (holgas are also fun and inexpensive), and you can get these online for relatively low prices. places that develop film are walgreens and sams club

take up cooking if you’re decent at it - your parent(s) will probably appreciate it too! i like to browse pinterest and housekeeping websites for good recipes

lots of towns have outdoor movies, live music shows, or even shakespeare in the park type events, and these are usually free or v cheap!

speaking of the movies, lots of movie theaters will give you matinee price in the evenings if you have a student id

redbox has new releases most of the time and it’s only a dollar a day

summer is also a good time to re-invent your usual hair/makeup styles so take an afternoon and play with makeup or bleach the ends of your hair if you’re daring!

the library also lets you check out a lot of books as well as older movies at once, so stock up on those older films and murder mysteries! (there’s nothing better than a bowl of ripe summer fruit and a mystery)

go blueberry, blackberry, peach picking! very fun and you get great fresh fruit out of the deal 

journal, write a short story, or fill a notebook with small poems

that’s all i can think of at the moment, but feel free to add more ideas onto this post if you have em!!

The picture was actually taken yesterday, but then I forgot to upload it!

I had a rough week, but I’m still trying to turn it around with some more organization and experimentation of some study strategies. I hope to study a lot today, but the odds seem to be against me. We’ll se how it turns out. 

Respiratory system, I’ll come and get you!
