Forming a routine is the best thing that's happened since i'v started uni, i'v always had the element of uncertainty in my life, i didn't have a clear purpose but now i do. I don't feel entirely useless, and the best part is, it's fun (sometimes). I don't like everything about uni, for example, being forced to participate in alot of extra curriculars, my introvert self cannot fit in so trying to fake it, holding on to the good stuff so that i can actually pretend uni is fun ..

I figured out what's stopping me from posting regular updates-- it's the pictures, ik the studyblr community doesn't focus that stuff, its the "no pressure" equivalent of studygram i think, where aesthetically pleasing pictures are kind of a must, but now i wl post even w/o them bcs at the end of the day its about how much it made me productive and not the notes

Have a lovely day people 💖🫶

2nd May - 10 Days until Finals

I studied for a long time but it wasn't very productive. I read one page over 3 times before it actually went in my head, then more time for making notes of it. It was so frustrating. I am already behind schedule and the days left for finals are going to be single digits from tmrw. Lets hope i don't die from anxiety till then..

I hope today is better :)

PRODUCTIVE DAYY :D (so photo dump :)

But one productive day isn't enough now. Single digit countdown. 4 chps of psychology i still haven't touched. There is soooo much to memorise. I'm overwhelmed :( idk if i'll get time for revision. *deep breath* one step at a time 💪:')

22nd April - 22 Days until Finals

I didn't study much on the 21st so u can say studying for almost 5 hrs was some guilt-driven motivation, but it helped :)

I haven't been going out a lot even tho the doc said i must "breath fresh air" everyday. So i played some badminton with my brother yesterday (i was so bad at it) but something's better than nothing.

From tmrw i want to get out consistently atleast once a day /goal 🎯

Stuff i did:

Textbook reading/summarizing

Made flashcards for 1 chp

Revised 1 chp (this was a first bcs i havnt finished half the chps so revision for 1 is great)

23 cards reviewed

I want to keep up with yesterday's flow even today, so manifesting a productive day for me as well as you 💖🫶

8th May - 3 Days until Finals

I did a lot but i did stuff that wasn't necessary and at this point i can't afford to waste precious time. I need to somehow figure how to productively memorise, revise AND solve mock tests all in the matter of 3 (+ additional days i purposely didn't count so my brain would get into fight-or-flight sooner) *self-doubt creeping in* tips anyone? :')

Have a lovely day people <3

9th May - 2 Days until Finals

I dont get it how do people study in the pressure b4 finals?? It feels like ages ago i had given my mid terms and i'm out of practice.

I studied for the past 3 months. Enough to say that i studied. But i dont remember shit. I dont know how to learn shit. I just want to get this done. I procrastinate so much, and while writing this my parents are disappointed in me because i spoke to my brother for like 50 mins and "i wasted my precious time" i get it i did talk a bit much buy i was feeling low and so was he so i wanted to talk without feeling guilty. But nvm. So am i going to pull the night and get shit done now at the cost of sleep deprivation- i sure am :D

Btw it isnt really 2 days left, i'v got 5 days. Less but i still can get some shit done and NOT fail and get some decent marks.

Long time no see people! I'v been settling into uni life. It's been 3 days. So far just 2-3 lectures a day, studying hasn't started yet, made some progress with my anxious self. So far i can say i'm proud of myself :)

Once full-fleged lectures start, i will start studying, but till then i'm watching breaking bad ^^

How is everyone doingg

23nd April - 21 Days until Finals

3hr 5min on forest 🌲

1hr 55min screen time 📱

Last night i felt a little on edge bcs my brain suddenly figured that i might not be able to complete my syllabus before exams and i got anxious, even the meds didn't help so i had to re-analyse and make a fresh time-table (i am a little behind)

Stuff i did:

Text book reading/summarising

Made flashcards

Reviewed 13 cards

I'v got to start memorising more bcs my exams are sort of rote-learning based and i have got a lot of questions to learn :')

Good luck to everyone 💖🫶

Started writing notes but couldn't complete it, hope i can get up to date with my stuff.

Making friends and keeping them is hell of a task because you dont know what they are thinking. You might think they are your closest friend but for them you would be just a back up friend...yup this is the stuff i overthink about and i think it wl end up ruining most of my friendships cos im shit at communicating but all this socializing is fairly new to me so i'll focus on studying for now hehe :)

18th April - 26 Days until Finals

I studied for about 1hr 30min. I went for a walk with my mom. I lost 6-0 to my little brother in monopoly deal :/ but it was fun. Overall, i'd say my day was productive.

I hv to get out more often cos i absolutely don't so that's my goal

What i did:

Learnt about theories of emotion, expressing emotion, stuff about autonomous nervous system, etc etc

Made questions/flashcards on those topics

According to Yerkes-Dodson's law, your performance increases with stress/anxiety but only up to a point. When your level of stress is too low or too high, your performance deteriorates.

So gentle reminder, don't stress out too much or..too little :)

You got this! 💪💖

I haven't been able to get myself to read let alone do math. Life has been very unproductive? Also i have been in a weird place mentally. Shit's all over the place

also... the thought of going to uni is kinda freaking me out?? I was homeschooled for the past couple years and getting back to a school-kinda setting is terrifying..did i say i have real bad anxiety?? I feel like i'd have a hard time trying to fit in and talk to ppl but i really want to get out of my shell? And to top that every single person i have ever taken advice from about this says "you just need to get out of your mind" or "you'll get over it" and it doesn't really make me feel better cos they are either extroverts or like super confident people, i just want to know about someone who is like me and been through the same stuff as me to tell me how to go about this stuff maybe that would make me feel better...

Anywho, i got myself a book and maybe it will get me out of my slump

And i'm kinda waiting for the productive spirits to find me ?

I said in my last post that i will start being consistent but here i am...i will eventually have to once uni starts tho so :)

[ashs-reverie]

Went to watch It Ends With Us and it was better than i expected, but then again, my expectations were super low so.. it was a fun day tho :)

I really need to stop using the phone so much bcs i'v got a long list of things i got to do but i just end up scrolling :")

[ashs-reverie]

I GOT INTO UNI !! im so nervous i could die
