19.03.2024—trying to get back into some study routines

[serendistudy]

10.1.2020 | friday

i’m feeling surprisingly content with life and studies right now. i have purposefully taken a very small number of courses this spring because i really start hating studying and my courses if i have a schedule so busy i can barely find time to breathe. so yes, i’ve decided this is what 2020 will be all about for me, granting myself time and taking it easy.

Moods of productivity or lack of it:

1# inspired by @coffeeandpies :The thick layer of smog is hiding the towering buildings and you are starting off your morning at the downtown café with a cup of hot soybean milk. It is the early morning but the subway is almost empty. The almost identical appearance of the architecture and the inadequate city planning is making everyone pull their hair out, even the locals are sharing the same experience. An intense school day is rewarded with some boba tea and the study cafes are inviting people to stay long into the nights. As you are heading home late in the night, the amazing smell of street food is filling the air and once in a while you can hear someone having enjoying themselves with a karaoke session.

2# northern europe: You are late as per usual. With a takeaway coffee in your hand, you are trying to rush among all the others who are late. The cold weather hits your right in the face as you step outside of the busstation and start making your way towards class. Trams and cars are honking like crazy as some are crossing the roads when the lights are red. The humongous group of asian tourists are standing in the way of all the locals, trying to capture the grey atmosphere with their selfie sticks. After class you realise you haven't done anything productive but still decide to skip studying to go for a lunch with your friends. As hours go by you decide it is time to go home and in the bus you fall asleep with the textbook in your hands.

3# high school: At 5.30 am you groan out loud as the alarm goes off. You end up snoozing until 6 am and realise you are going to be late for the bus. By 7 am you are sitting in class with the look of a zombie, but you are not only one. At lunch you are heading to Starbucks and order yourself an iced almond latte. The afternoon is spent at the school library with your friends and even though you were supposed to finish the three assignments, you are gossiping and looking through memes.

4# the mess: Once the alarm goes off you lay in bed contemplating your life: to go or not to go? As the warmth of the bed is inviting you decide to opt for the second option and text your friend to add your name on the attendance list. At 1 pm you decide it is time to get your shit together and you gather your stuff to the kitchen table. Two essays, a lab report, three exams and plenty of small assignments are waiting for you. Exhausted you pour yourself a huge mug of black coffee and get to work. By 12 am you realise you haven't eaten all day but you decide it is just time to go to bed.

5# holly gabrielle: It is 6 am and you are making yourself a hot lemon water. A few yoga stretches later you sit by your desk to write the to do list for the day. When it is done you get right in to work and start your research for a paper. At 11 am you have a long lecture which you, surprisingly enough, enjoy a lot. When you get back to your dorm room your start rewriting and adding additional information to your lecture notes and at 7 pm you find yourself at your gym. By 10 pm you have finished everything on your list and happy, but tired you head to bed hoping for tomorrow to be just as productive.

More tests, more annotated notes and more tea! ☕️

Personally, I’m a coffee person but tea has been such a companion for late night study sessions with a much less caffeine high, and so I’ve maybe bent towards chai a little hehe

May has begun with an incredible momentum and I’ve started it on a positive note. Today I finished learning for drug and alcohol abuse for my biology test on Saturday and then I cleaned my desk and took out the trash!

Later in the evening I’m planning on completing my solid state chemistry revision for a test that’s due next week.

Hope you have a productive day too ☀️

Summer Productivity: Days 2-3/??

Still working on getting my room in order. I'm happy with 5/8 of my shelves. They literally have never been this organized. In the first picture, you can see allll the black pens I found hidden in my room😖. At least I don't have to buy any for next year.

Also went to a friend's graduation today which was super fun and honestly, I almost cried. Anyone else out there part of the class of 2019? Tag me in your graduation pics, I would love to see them!

20.1.2020 | monday

it’s been a while since i last posted, so here’s my bujo spreads from the last two weeks! they’re pretty simple because i honestly don’t have time to do anything fancy with my bujo, i just want to keep it practical. so yes, here’s your friendly reminder that you don’t need to spend hours on decorating your bujo to reach the ~studyblr aesthetic~. less is more etc

october study challenge | days 14 & 15 : Favourite & least favourite study method(s)? What works best for you?

it works best for me to break my studying into smaller bundles of work. to help myself stay focused i write a lot of notes all the time and use apps like forest! i guess my least favourite method would be to leave all the studying to the last minute and then having to study nonstop without any breaks because that’s just exhausting.

1.10.2019 // tuesday

this month i’ll be joining @stu-dna ‘s october study challenge! here’s my contribution for the first day ~

1. Introduce thyself! What are you studying? What are your goals for this month? This year?

i am vee, a 19-year-old university student majoring in cultural anthropology! it’s my freshman year in uni and my main goal for the year is to try my hardest to get used to studying in uni and to get a great start for this journey! this month my goal is to stay motivated and persistent with my studies (which i hope this challenge will help me with as well since studyblr is something that really helps with my study motivation)!!

october study challenge day 2 - Tea, coffee, or neither?

definitely tea!! i’m a huge fan of all kinds of infusions, especially by yogi tea or pukka. all my study sessions are always fueled by tea!

not gonna lie, i’ve had a pretty rough week.. i had a really hard exam this wednesday and i’m very stressed about the result. also there’s too many deadlines 😣 i have another exam next week so this is me trying to study for that. i’m very tired :/

[serendistudy]

october study challenge | day 12 : Show us your handwriting! Do you tend to use different styles or do you stick to one?

i definitely use different styles! these are both my lecture notes but the first one is the way i write notes when i’m trying to be as fast as possible and the second one is a more neat, not-so-rushed way.

i’m in full summer holiday mode now and technically not studying anything but still planning some stuff to my slightly messy bujo! i’m also incredibly obsessed with the new jonas brothers album! have you all listened to it yet? what’s your favourite track? i love ‘don’t throw it away’, it’s such a summer bop (as is the whole album tbh)!
