#hs exam 2020 news

for book asks, 107 and 121!

107. your favourite book in a different language

👀 I will take this to mean "different than English", and I'll also assume translations don't count - most of the books I've read in my life have actually been translations into Finnish.

It's so hard to pick just one!! Back when I read it I really liked Kudottujen kujien kaupunki [UK release: The City of Woven Streets, US release: The Weaver] by Emmi Itäranta (fantasy book that deals with dreams quite a bit; I also got it signed by her hehe and had some really vivid and interesting dreams the night after, which was funny), for the mystical worldbuilding as well as the writing :D But there are many other great Finnish books as well (I really need to get back into reading new Finnish literature because I feel embarrassed when I read the culture pages of HS and don't know what's going on)

121. a book that makes you nostalgic

All of them :D

Something recent-ish that makes me feel that way is actually a weird one (also it's in Finnish and hasn't been translated rip), it's Abiturientti by Harri Sirola.

It was published in 1980 when the author was just out of high school himself, and I remember really relating to parts of it (the main character, headed for med school but feeling quite unable to cope with the pressures of the stifling atmosphere of his upper middle class Helsinki private school and family, fucks around and finds out - in 2020 I was getting really fed up with the pandemic and the Finnish "double burden" of the uni entrance exam PLUS matriculation exam system) and finding the descriptions of the time period and setting interesting. (There was a big scandal when the book came out because it's partly set in a real school that the author attended.)

The title of the book is what high school "seniors" are called in Finland, and I read it around the time I was about to graduate from high school - I think if I were to reread it, it would def feel nostalgic already 😁

life as an econ major: first impression

17.09.23

so here's the thing, the school year starts tomorrow but i still don't have my exam results... so am i actually gonna start my masters this year? who knows. i guess we'll find out tomorrow.

but the info session for this program took place on friday so i went despite the fact that i still don't have my results. and here's how it went.

so first we had a big info session for all the masters programs at the economics and management faculty. and there are like 5 different programs, we were about 50-60 people id say. the session was quite boring bc it was mostly for people who are new to the university overall. so they just like explained all the administrative stuff like how to sign up for courses, what moodle is, etc. so i didn't learn anything new. and i looked around to see what kind of people study economics and management. and i really felt out of place. idk, maybe it's my "not like other girls" syndrome or idk what. but i really felt like i didn't belong. contrary to what id imagined, it was mostly women. mostly my age and older. a couple of people in their 30s-40s too. but mostly like yeah, girlies in their mid to late twenties. dressed in skinny jeans. and michael kors bags. all with straight or straightened hair. the vibe was very much french, no offense... and the few guys who were there were also very french. like skinny jeans and hair that's like shaved on the sides. it was giving tiktok fuckboys circa 2020.

then we were split up into our different master programs. and our group only had 11 people. 3 guys, 8 girls. mostly foreign and like half poc. so there was me, a girl who just moved from spain who worked for this like eu organisation in paris, an indian girl who did econometrics and maths, a hijabi girl and a moroccan (?) girl who both did their bachelors here, a guy who just moved from lebanon, an asian girl who did international relations here, a girl who's doing a second masters, and a guy i went to hs with who studied in exeter. and that was quite awkward cos he came up to me like "heyyy you went to [school name], right?" and i was like ummmm who are you. and he was like "yeahh we had german and maths together". and i had no idea who he was. and then he said his name and that also didn't ring a bell at all. i was like bro i am so sorry.

so yeah, the head professor explained how the program works, like how many credits you need, what classes to take, etc. he was very cool and i started to get more enthusiastic about doing this actually.

and then we all had drinks in the main hall and i talked to the spanish girl, the 2nd masters girl and the high school guy.

and yesterday i looked at my schedule and registered for each of the courses on moodle. and... had a mental breakdown...

because it sounds like my worst nightmare.

first of all, im gonna have to write essays. i haven't written an essay since high school. i don't know how to cite. i don't know how to read either tbh. like how do i read a paper about economics?? i don't know what any of it means.

i looked at the syllabus for every course. and none of it makes sense. i don't even believe in inflation. like isn't inflation a deviantart fetish? and wtf is gdp. like.

secondly, 60% of the grade for these courses is group projects. again, i haven't done a group project since high school. it terrifies me. like. the responsibility of working with people. is terrifying. and you have to make a powerpoint presentation and write a paper. in a group! like.... how???? i don't know how to do either of these things.

and for the elective courses i was like okay im gonna pick the maths ones bc there's no way in hell that im gonna choose to write even more essays. but! the maths electives that i have are all programming! i don't know how to code! you need to know python! and like how to do like time projections and shit. ive only done matrix multiplication on matlab in like the first semester of my bachelors. i fucking hate computers and matlab was hell, i didnt undertand any of it, it was my worst grade. so how am i gonna do python?

another thing that sounds like absolute hell is coursework. in maths it was easy. you go to class (or don't, up to you!) and you have an exam at the end of the year and that's your grade. but here you have papers to hand in every week. and graded homework. and presentations. my lazy ass is actually gonna have to work throughout the year. i thought about it yesterday and cried.

anyway, studying economics sounds like a neurodivergent nightmare.

and okay i thought id stop there but!!! the topics that im gonna have to write papers on... y'alll.... i don't give a shit about the economic impact of russian sanctions like

how do i give a shit ????

and i looked at the first problem set and at first i was like oooo maths! looks familiar! but the thing is, i can't read. like whenever i see a word problem my brain just makes the internet dial up noise. wtf does this mean???

i showed it to my stepdad and he was like "huh that's easy, that's just cross multiplication". and guys. you don't understand. but i don't know how to do percentages. i don't know how to solve first degree diff equations. i can't do basic maths. i can only prove theorems on abstract topics and that's it. 2+2 i don't know her. what the fuck is a growth rate. like. i can't read.

fuck. i am so stressed.

Finland will not be making Swedish-language high school exams compulsory, newspaper Uutissuomalainen (siirryt toiseen palveluun)reports on Friday morning.

Minister of Education Li Andersson (Left) said that such changes to the requirements of a high school diploma would not be sensible and only make graduating even more demanding for students.

The story is also mentioned by Swedish-speaking Hufvudstadsbladet (siirryt toiseen palveluun)(HBL). HBL writes that the government would like to see the second national language become compulsory eventually, but Andersson worries that the past few years have already hit students' wellbeing hard.

"We are very concerned about the wellbeing of high school students and the pressure they are facing; the change would clearly have a negative impact in that regard," Andersson said.

Fencing the eastern border

Finland is currently making preparations to enhance its border with Russia, tabloid Iltalehti (siirryt toiseen palveluun)(IL) writes. The preparations could even see the construction of a four-metre high fence along a short segment of the border, according to the paper.

For that to happen, however, Finland would need to make amendments to the law, Anne Ihanus, senior legal adviser at the Border Guard Headquarters, told IL. The government indeed submitted a proposal for the amendment of the Border Guard Act to Parliament on 9 June.

"Current fences on the eastern border essentially prevent domestic animals from crossing the border. More robust fences for the border and being able to build on areas other than just the edge of the border opening would require changes in the regulations," Ihanus said.

Iltalehti was informed that the planned fence could extend along some 120 kilometres of the 1300-kilometre border, costing up to two million euros per kilometre. The tabloid was unable to confirm the aforementioned cost estimates with the Finnish Border Guard.

Jussi Napola, head of the Border Guard and Preparedness Unit of the Border Guard Headquarters, did confirm, however, that the fence would be built only in areas where it would strengthen border safety the most, as fencing the entire eastern border was "not cost-effective."

New methods to beach safety

Drowning incidents are on the rise in Finland, but lifeguards at Helsinki's Pikkukoski beach have come up with a simple solution to tackle the problem, Helsingin Sanomat (siirryt toiseen palveluun) writes.

Finland registered its highest figure of drowning for over a decade during the summer of 2021, while some 113 drowning deaths were registered in 2020 -- one of which was a six-year-old child at Pikkukoski.

Beach rescuers have thus taken the initiative to approach every family visiting the beach with children and explain how and where it is safest to swim.

"We mostly tell families with children about the sudden depths of the waters. The right side is safer than the left," Pikkukoski lifeguard Touko Pylkkänen told HS, adding that 95 percent of a lifeguard's job is prevention at the beach.

The active approach has received a lot of positive feedback and no incidents have occurred since its implementation, Jarmo Valtonen, team leader at the City of Helsinki, told the paper.

september spread ✨

welcome to a new academic year! my faculty made some pretty funny memes about it and they still have their pride profile pic (they have it since 2020 pride month) and it makes me feel waaaay more welcome.

i still have to wait two weeks for orientation week and then my classes start at 20.9 <3

i'm planning on posting 3 times a week (starting with september 15), since i'll have way more things to post than in hs, when the only thing i did was preparing for my graduation exams.

Graduation surprise; BoRhap cast x reader

*Author’s note*

Hey ya’ll well I promised this fic when I posted the Queen prom fic so here it is. Now I know it’s not as long as the last one is but I felt like this didn’t need to be super long. Also as another special little fact for ya’ll I was gonna make this a Queen fic as well but then I decided to change it to a BoRhap CAST fic since I hadn’t done one of just them in awhile. 

So to all seniors whether HS or college, the class of 2020 CONGRATULATIONS I know it’s not what you hoped it would be but still try to find celebration in this pandemic, you all achieved probably the greatest milestones in your life. So stay safe, stay healthy, stay sane, and be happy :) Lot’s of love from me my darlings!

Goddamn this year! Just when we think the new decade would be worth our wild, now we’ve got all this shit going on! First there was the threat of WW3, then the next month we’re dealing with wildfires in Australia, and finally to top it off why not add a global pandemic?!

The Coronavirus has literally been all over the news for months, and the fact that our government knew about it since late last year and didn’t warn us about it!? Then when they told us to be on lockdown, everyone starts hording toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and food that no one can buy said items for weeks on end.

But of course my main problem is the fact that I, along with so many other kids and adults around the world can’t participate in their own graduation ceremony.  As a college student, I was just longing to finally participate in my final graduation ceremony ever.  This was supposed to be my final chapter in school life and now because of this damn virus, that’s gone.

I mean yeah my diploma will be coming in the mail but I wanted my family to all be there to see me reach the end of my school life before I finally begin a new chapter.  Plus my cousin’s friends said that they would come and see me and I’ve missed seeing those guys, I hadn’t seen them all since the Bohemian Rhapsody premiere.

I sat there in my old room of my house (cause since the University closed down back in March, all students had to leave the college campus and go home so that way we could reduce the spread of the virus. So I ended up moving back in with my parents) just finishing up my final paper for class.

That’s when my Zoom video chat blew up with my cousin’s profile pic.  I grinned and clicked on the answer button and soon enough my cousin’s face took over my screen.

“Hey poppet.”

“Hey Gwil, how you holding up?” he let out a sigh.

“As best as I can. Though I should be asking you that, you are the one really dealing with this whole Coronavirus adjustment than I am. How’d you do on your classes?”

“For those that have said online classes are easier, they’re dirty rotten liars and completely incompetent.” He softly chuckled. “But thankfully I finished my last exam paper and submitted it just now.”

“Your dad look over it for you? Cause I know you’re a terrible editor.”

“Oi not all the time. Just when I’m lazy.” He hummed as he raised his brow at me. “But yes I did have dad review it for me. Cause before we got to submit the rough draft and my professor said I needed more analysis to my quotes on why I quoted that specific source. God I don’t know why I took that class to begin with?”

“Because you’re a criminology nut and you have been since you turned 16. God and I thought my horror movie tastes were bad.”

“Hey it’s good to be aware of shit like that!”

“Language missy!”

“Okay Cap.” I teased.  He gave me his stern look which made me laugh as I fell to my side on the bed. “Oh by the way I saw that little dating app video you did.”

“And what did you think?”

“I liked it. Kinda makes me wish an app like that did exist in real life.”

“You not just pulling my leg on this?”

“No. Honest and swear to god you had me moved by your performance. Well next to you being Brian May of course.” He grinned. “I swear I still can’t get over when I first saw you in the full hair and makeup, I literally almost had a freakin panic attack.”

“And the fact that Brian was also there to witness that.”

“Oh god don’t even go there!” I groaned as I hid my face in embarrassment.

“So—now that you’re all done with school, what’s next for you?”

“Well any plans I had are put on hold till this whole crisis goes away. And I really thought 2020 was gonna be my year. This sucks!”

“I know poppet, I know. But believe me that it’s not just you whose affected by this. Everyone in the whole world is suffering exactly the same way you are.” I sighed solemnly.

“I know. I mean I should be feeling for you and the guys right now, I mean all of you are out of work till further notice. And all the restaurants that I love going to. Did you know that the little ice cream parlor you and I used to go to when we were kids shut down?”

“No!”

“Yeah, the owner couldn’t keep up the payments because hardly anyone was ordering from them anymore, even with online delivery. So she closed it down.”

“Damn, that sucks. I really loved going to that place with you. That was always our special little time together without the grownups around.” I nodded remembering all the fun times we had together in that little shop.

It was then someone suddenly popped into our conversation.  The extra person now on my screen was none other than Joe Mazzello.

“Hey Gwil, mini-Lee!”

“Hello Joe.” Answered Gwil.

“Hey Joe been a long time.”

“How you two holding up?” he asked us.

“As best as we can, how about you? I’ve seen those Youtube videos you’ve been doing on your page.” Gwil said.

“You know those were jokes, especially that last one. I just wanted to get a laugh out of everyone, or have them hate me.”

“No one could hate you Joey.” I said with a smile.

“Aww thanks mini-Lee. How’s classes been?” I let out a groan as I once again flopped on my bed which made Joe laugh.

“I am just thankful that this is all over. At first I thought online classes would be easy but one of my professors was technology challenged. Another one would sometimes forget to do a lesson, and then of course blackboard could barely operate long enough for me to submit an assignment which caused some of them to be late.”

“Well like you said it’s over now.” Joe assured me.

“Oh hey I saw that Jurassic Park livestream you did.”

“Oh did you? How come I didn’t see you submit a question or just say hello? I’ve seen your Youtube page so I know your username by heart.”

“Cause I may or may not have also been working on a project. But chose the livestream over the project.”

“Nice going Joe, you’ve turned my cousin into a procrastinator.” Gwil complained.

“Hey at least she has Jurassic Park unlike you Gwilym Lee! Serious shame on you for not owning it! This is why mini-Lee is the coolest out of the two of you.” I snarked out a mock laugh as I stuck my tongue out.

“Ganging up against me okay I see how it is you two.”

“Oh come now cousin dear, we’re just messing around.”

“Messing around? If we’re messing with Gwil then I want a part of it.” Soon another picture came up and there lying on his side was Ben Hardy.

“Benjamin!” Joe screamed joyously.

“Hi Ben.” I sung out.

“Hey (y/n).” he waved at me with a wink. “Now going back to teasing Gwilym.”

“You guys are officially gonna be blocked right after this.” My cousin groaned.  We all laughed when I told him.

“Again cousin, we’re teasing you. So Ben, what brings you here?”

“What can’t I pop in and say hello?” I giggled.

“I see nothing wrong with it. Oh hey get this; I finally got around to watching 6 Underground.”

“And what did you think of it?”

“The first 10 minutes were insane! And truthfully I never really understood Michael Bay films, but this one—definitely my favorite. I loved it Ben, really.”

“Well thank you (n/n). Thank you.”

“Never did I think I needed to see both you and Ryan Reynolds on screen together….”

“Whoa okay easy there (n/n)!” Joe interrupted me.

“Oi you get your mind out of the gutters! And you say it’s the fans that make what you say to the extreme.” I scowled him.

“Trust me, I’ve known him for over 10 years and he still doesn’t grow up.” Another voice stated and soon two more familiar faces popped up on screen, stuck in quarantine together in LA were Rami and Lucy. And then a split second later another face came on the screen, it was none other than Alan Leech.

“Hey, Rami, Lu-lu, Alan!” I cheered.

“Hey (y/n)!” the three of them said as they waved.

“God I feel like I’m getting spoiled, got the entire BoRhap family together for the first time in like—forever.”

“It’s crazy.” Alan said.

“Definitely.” Agreed Rami.

“Maybe when this whole thing blows over we should all get together some time in New York.” Offered Joe.

“I’m down with it.” Ben said.

“Me too.” Lucy agreed with a nod.

“Yeah, (n/n), Ben and I could fly out together.” Said Gwil.

“I’m down with that. Now that I’m done with school, I can do what I want now.”

“So guys now that we’re all here shall we begin?” Lucy said.

“Begin what? Gwil what’s going on?” I asked.

“Well (n/n), when this whole quarantine shutdown and school cancellations started affecting the class of 2020 we all felt bad that you couldn’t graduate the way you hoped you would.” Gwil said before Joe continued.

“So Gwil called all of us up via the Whatsapp chat, as well as our daily zoom calls. To gather us all together on your ‘last day’ of college.”

“To celebrate your own Virtual college graduation party!” Rami cheered.  At that point everyone either threw confetti, blew on graduation blowers, or holding up signs that said CONGRATS 2020 GRADUATE!!!

I covered my mouth with my hands speechless and tried to hold back the tears.

“Ohh you guys.”

“Since you couldn’t have a college graduation party, we figure we’d bring the party to you. See not even this pandemic can stop us from celebrating our Mini-Lee’s ultimate milestone.” Ben said as he set down his congrats sign.

“And also expect some gifts within the next few weeks, depending on how the mailing services do with overseas gifts.” Alan said.

“Aww thanks you guys, you didn’t have to.”

“We know, but we wanted to. Let us spoil you even through this pandemic.” Said Joe.

“Thanks guys, this—really means a lot to me.” I wiped a hidden tear that strayed down the corner of my eye.  They all awed at me that’s when Gwil lifted up a small graduation cake.

“I know, I know this’ll be ridiculous but just humor me will yah?” I smiled and nodded.  He lit up the 2020 candles and held it just high enough for me to see the top part of the candles.

“CONGRATS (Y/N) LEE! CLASS OF 2020!!!” everyone proclaimed at once which made me smile and I blew out towards the screen.  Gwil then blew out the candles for me as everyone else cheered and clapped.

“Thanks so much you guys. Really, you have no idea how much this means to me.”

“We’re happy to do it (y/n). If it makes your day a little bit brighter in these dark times.” Rami said.

“It did Rami, it really did.”

“Well hope we can make this even better cause I’ve also got a part 2 to this little surprise. But in order for that to happen, everyone else has got to go otherwise you won’t really be able to see it as clearly.” Gwil said.

“Aww man.” I whined.

“No worries mini-Lee, your cousin added you to our BoRhap Whatsapp chat and I’ll send you a link to our zoom channel if you ever wanna chat with us again.” Joe said with a wink.

“Thanks Joe. And thanks everyone take care and stay safe.” They all waved and bid me goodbye with waves or blowing kisses at me and one by one they signed off till it was once again just Gwil and I.

All I could see across his bearded face was that cheeky grin he does whenever he’s trying to hide something.

“What are you grinning about?”

“Just the fact that I’ll be the best cousin once you see part 2 of your special surprise.”

“What did you do?”

“If I told you it won’t be a surprise now would it? Now let’s see, god I hope they get it.” He muttered the last part to himself. It took a few minutes till finally another screen popped up and standing there in his room was Adam Lambert.  I fangirled in my seat and covered my mouth trying to contain my squeals.

“Hey girlfriend!” he greeted with a wave.

“Adam oh my god!”

“How’s it going?”

“It’s been going. Finally submitted my last paper. So I’m officially done with school forever.”

“Yaas Queen!” he snapped. “So how’s it feel to be a college graduate?”

“Well it’d be better if we weren’t in the middle of a pandemic.”

“Understandable, but hey you’ve worked hard for this so be proud of yourself no matter what’s going on in the world right now.” I nodded with a shrug. “And to celebrate your graduation, your cousin whipped up another little surprise for you.”

“Oh my god Gwil you didn’t!” I gasped.  He merely raised a brow at me cheekily as he bit his lip back from a smile.

“Hey guys you there?!” Adam called out and soon enough two more screens came on and the picture revealed to be both Brian May and Roger Taylor.  Brian sitting on his couch while Roger looked to be in his basement with his drumkit.

At this point, I had lost my shit.  I was fangirling to the max at this rate but tried to calm down.

“Hi (y/n), congratulations of graduating.” Brian greeted me.

“Major achievement there love. Congrats.” Roger added.

“Oh my god…..Gwil this is—how……”

“I knew you’d love it (n/n). Plus I knew this would cheer you up after our last conversation we had last week. You really needed some cheering up.”

“So guys are we ready to do this?” asked Adam.

“I’m ready to go if you both are.” Said Brian as he took his Red Special and set it on his lap and Roger twirled his drumstick.

“(Y/n), this is for you love. Hopefully when this whole mess is over, you can finally go out there and reach your dream job. Till then we hope you enjoy this.” Roger said.

It was then both Roger and Brian began playing the tune for ‘we are the champions’ but as Adam began singing the song, it turns out that they were actually singing their new song, ‘You are the champions’ dedicated to the first responders worldwide.

But now they were playing it in my honor as a college graduate.  As they continued to play the song, I allowed the tears to flow down my face as I laced my hand over my heart.

God—never did I think that through this pandemic would I be happy.  From having to never see any of my friends I made in college again, to not having my whole family come to the house to celebrate, or going out to party with some of my friends.  But this—right here and now, my cousin made it all up to me all the way from London.

At this point, I knew that I was officially the luckiest person in the world.  All thanks to my favorite cousin, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

[myhoneststudyblr]

I’m a new studyblr, and I was wondering if you had any tips on studyblr in general? Do I have to make a studyblr intro or anything, and how would you recommend I get involved in the community? Thank you!

hi anon! first of all: WELCOME TO THE COMMUNITY!!!

thank you so much for reaching out and please feel free to message me or send me an ask any time!

here are some of my tips for a new studyblr:

make a studyblr intro post! 

this is very useful for a number of reasons: 

firstly, it allows you to introduce yourself and give your name (or nickname), interests and hobbies etc. this is really important in the studyblr community because at the end of the day we are all people and we want to meet others who share similar interests. you could also give your country (only if you are comfortable with this) if you want to find soem studyblrs to conenct with who are from your country/speak your language

secondly, it is a really good place to let people know what you are studying! i would suggest including the subjects you are studying and your level of study (eg uni or hs). this is helpful because people who study the sames things as you (or maybe did in the past) can reach out and you can build a mini support system! 

thirdly, it gives you the chance to tag the studyblrs that inspired you! this is useful because these studyblrs will usually reblog your post which allows you reach a wider bunch of people (who could then reach out to you for the reasons above). i personally always reblog any intro posts that i’m tagged in (and lots that i’m not) and i will check out the blog and have a look at your posts (and probably reblog a few or put them in my queue). also, just generally i always find it so nice to hear that my blog has inspired someone! i just makes my day

think of a tagging system!

this doesn’t have to be very complex just think about what you will tag on your posts so you can keep track of them (eg. you could tag posts that you reblog that you think will be useful in the future with #ref). i would especially recommend having a specific tag for your original content (for example my tag for this is #my notes) and/or your text posts (my tags for this are #sophie speaks and #me). it’s quite useful to put your tag for original content in your bio so people finding your blog can quickly find your original content

if your blog is a sideblog, let people know!

you don’t *have* to do this, however, i would personally recommend doing it because it can sometimes be confusing when i see people comment on my posts and it is a random blog that i’ve never seen before and isn’t even studyblr. often if i check it and look deeply, it is just the main blog of one of my mutuals. so i personally think it is quite useful to put your main blog in your studyblr bio (if it is a sideblog) so that people know that it is you when you comment/send asks etc. it also lets people know that you follow back through your main account

now for getting involved in the community:

send asks and messages to people!

you are already doing pretty well on this one considering you’ve sent me this ask! but i highly recommend sending asks to people, for example, if they reblog an ask game post or even just asking for some advice because they will start to recognise you as someone who is engaged with their blog and you could also learn something new about one of your favourite studyblrs! 

messages are also a great, slightly more personal, way to interact with people. it can be as simple as messaging people to tell them you love their blog, or again asking them for some advice. if they do a post about a test or exam that they have coming up, you could even message them good luck or ask how it went. i have had some amazing conversations with people through messages and it is a great way to meet new people 

just a reminder: always be respectful and polite in messages and asks to ensure that the community remains positive

reblog posts with a comment on their posts!

(or just add a comment, although this could be confusing if your studyblr is a side blog so just be warned [see above])

this is a really nice way to let people know you’ve seen their post and it is always nice to give feedback. a comment can be as simple as: i love your handwriting! or good luck in that test! but that simple message reaching out it so nice to get! also, reblogging is really helpful to blogs because it means more people see the post

join a challenge!

ok, so i’ve had this blog for about a year and a half now and i had a pretty decent amount of followers (which i seriously do not understand XD) but i never got the same amount of interaction and involvement in the studyblr community until i created my #2020 quarantine challenge (click here if you wanna find out about this). i would get reblogs and likes on posts but i don't think that i used to get nearly as much interaction with my posts with people leaving comments and stuff. furthermore, although i had blogs where we were technically mutuals, i didn’t really have mutuals like i do know where we actively keep in touch and check out each other’s posts all the time and stuff and that is honestly the nicest thing

challenges mean that you are most likely posting every day (or at the very least pretty regularly if you cannot manage every day) and this is good because you post lots of new content for people to discover. another great thing is that there is usually a tag that you can search for and scroll through and find others who are doing the challenge alongside you. the person who created the challenge also probably checks the tag out every few days and reblogs the posts 

for these reasons, i cannot highlight how amazing challenges are for interaction and getting involved in the community!

(btw, this isn’t just a self promo for my own challenge - although i would love for you to join in cause i love seeing what everyone posts - it is just that this is the challenge that i am currently involved in and i know is going on right now! i also know that @stu-dna (amazing studyblr for the record - you shoudl defintely follow) has done a few challenges in the past which have been so fun even though i was really bad at keeping up with them XD so check out her blog so you’ll know if she does another one!)

These are all the things i can think of right now! i really hope this was helpful and is you have any questions, or want me to explain anything further, just send me another ask and i’ll do my best to help! 

- Sophie xxx

P.S. >  let me know what your studyblr is and i’ll definitely check it out

‪Happy new year to you all 🎉🎉🎉 2019 was a wild one, art-wise and rest-of-life-wise.‬ This year I:

✨ finished my first year of med school

✨ traveled abroad to 4 new countries

✨ published my first case report as a first author

✨ started working out regularly

✨ came into my own as an artist!

I think I grew a lot as an artist this year—it doesn’t *look* like it lmao but I did my first full bgs, figure drawing classes, and made my first ocs in 2019! 🍊 I’d just started digital art in 2018, but I settled into a style I really enjoy drawing. I have all of you to thank for the inspiration and support you’ve given me this year 🥰

Finally, some goals for 2020:

🥚 draw more original art

🥚 use that gouache set i was gifted

🥚 do well on board exam #1

🥚 kick butt at my rotations

🥚 develop more expressiveness/personality in my art

🥚 stay in touch with old friends from hs/college

🥚 make new friends!! Outside of school!!!

7/100 days of productivity

Bombed my exams today. Focused on the first subject but our prof forgot that we had an exam so I bombed my phy chem test. I really wanted to cry but I have nothing else I can do but reflect on what I did wrong and where I lacked so that I can do better next time.

I met with my mom and her workmate since they bought office supplies, so I bought some stuff for myself too. New pens, a cute highlighter, some plastic folders and pockets (for organization purposes), and some cute clips. Idk why but even the simplest stationery purchases cheered me up. I decided to stay at a cafe at the nearest mall and studied a bit with a hs friend who went to school near that mall. First time there and I can honestly say it’s a nice place. Decent prices, good coffee quality, a lot of outlets, and free wifi. 

I was so happy bc I also met up with more hs friends afterwards. Met with my friend April!!! Last saw her in 2018, so it was such a great feeling when I saw her again.

Follow me on my studygram!

7/13/2020

Who would have guessed that I would have slacked on the task of making 3 things about myself that I appreciate everyday? Ha, no that was me. I expected this. To be fair though, I did think of things last night and I didn’t write them on this blog. I take my first OAE on Tuesday! I am super nervous for it, but I think that if I study tomorrow I should make it out okay. I think I will study and take the one on pedagogy next. That one really all I need is the vocab, then most of the rest of the test is situational. Still worried about the SS one though, hopefully I will take it before the school semester starts. I have to see what classes switched online. I might be fully online this semester and it sounds good (because I won’t have to drive down to campus all the time), but at the same time it sounds horrible. I hate online classes and with this new schedule, I need to quickly learn to adjust to it, I guess. I like going to the classroom and sitting in a desk and being able to interact with the professors. Not that I can’t interact with them online, but having that face to face and being in the classroom does give me more motivation to do the work. I get distracted if I am doing video calls and it’s so easy to be. But.. I think I can do it. I hope I can. School is about a month away and I wish I was more prepared for it. I don’t even know what placement school I am going to or what I will be doing with teachers. If I will even be in a classroom. Oof. Maybe I can set up the downstairs as an office for myself? I would want to buy a better desk. Maybe I can start looking around for one. I just wish I had more security in that aspect of my life I guess. Anyway, um.. I guess maybe I should say 3 things that I appreciate about myself, shouldn’t I? What if I can’t think of any that I haven’t already said? I guess SG did say I could repeat myself.

1. I appreciate that I know what I should/need to work on. Even if I am still not sure about where I am headed in life, I know that I can’t continue in some of the ways that have been coping mechanisms or habits in the past. How can I move forward with my life if I keep hating myself? Or if I have a pessimistic view on myself or my own future? I don’t know. I just know that I have to become a better version of myself everyday.

2. I appreciate who I have become as a person (most of the time). In general, I would say I am pretty okay. I think I am likable. And although in the past, I know I have been not the best (toxic even), I have realized these faults and am growing past them. I feel like maybe this one is just a part of number 1 lol.

3. I appreciate that I have at least been thinking about this everyday and even if I don’t write anything down here I am still trying to come up with things that I appreciate about myself. That one was probably bad, wasn’t it? I am trying my best. And I appreciate that too.

In other news, AS is really starting to like and become better at his new job! I am really happy for him, and on Tuesday, he is going to get approved to live with his new roomie. I am worried about how far away it is though. I hope it won’t be a problem or that he can convince his roommate to move closer to where everyone else lives. Maybe I will become better friends with him (should I dub him too? HS?) When he lived closer, I would always go and hang out and their apartment (HS and..HM?) Sometimes I wonder why I dub everyone but I digress. Then the lease was up and they didn’t sign a new one, so they moved to their current place. Anyway, I will see how it all plays out. 

Something else that I have just realized recently is that I don’t really like driving people around in my car. Like, I was thinking about it and it gives me anxiety. Maybe that’s why I don’t like driving? I don’t know, after the accident, I just don’t want to be behind the wheel with friends in my car and have us crash I guess? I don’t know why I worry about it so much. I guess even though the accident wasn’t my fault, it still feels like I could have done something to stop it from happening. I don’t even want to imagine what it would have been like if there were other people in my car with me. And I know that it’s unreasonable to think both of these thoughts, but I just doubt myself as a good driver. Sure, I don’t drive distracted and I make everyone fasten their seat belts, but that doesn’t mean I’m good. That doesn’t even mean I am okay. Is it selfish of me to think that when I am not driving, then no matter what happens if we crash then it wasn’t my fault? Oof to these thoughts lol anyway I like being the passenger in a car anyway, then that means I can look at the scenery. Maybe I just need to get more used to people being in the car with me while I am driving? I don’t get very many opportunities for this though. Maybe one day. 

Anyway, this post is getting kind of long and I have a few other things I want to address, but I am getting tired (it is past 4 am so yikes on that). Wish me luck for this exam! I am going to need it.

Thank you 2019

I promised myself to try to be consistent with the things I do and this is one of them that so far, I haven’t failed yet. Since 2013, I posted the things that transpired throughout my year. Some of the happy things I experienced. As I progress — but truth be told, as I became more pessimistic — I incorporated the negative things as well. My year end posts became a way for me to fight of my negative thoughts and views by reflecting and being grateful to the things that happened to me. It also became an avenue to release those negative thoughts in a socially acceptable manner by twisting my words and making it appear that the things that hurt me, made me a better person, not a hateful one, when honestly, I was just simply a sad guy who unconsciously masked my bitterness with the “new year’s new energy”. Further down the road, my year ends posts became a reminder for myself that I am not a failure, or at least I try to think that I’m not. I try to validate it with the pictures in the posts telling myself that I’ve accomplished this and that when in fact, I still felt empty and I feel like I just forced myself to make the post. Partially, it became a means for me to brag to myself. Later on, it became a drag when I realized that I am not a consistent person. That I don’t push through with the things I start with so I force myself to make a year end post to try to prove to myself that I can be consistent, that I can see things through. Substance and meaning were lost as years passed by. I couldn’t recover my 2013 posts but for me it was the most meaningful one. I gave it the most effort and thought.

Don’t get me wrong. The photos and experiences I shared in my year end posts, I cherish them and I am truly grateful for them. It’s just that now, when I’m creating this year’s post, I got to reflect on it  So I ask myself now, why am I making this post? Why would I be making year end posts in the future? Well I’m making it for me. I’m making it and I’ll continue making one because it makes me happy. I’m not making one because I want to brag or because I have something to prove to myself. It’s not because I feel sad or that I am forced to make one. It’s because I want to.

Hey 2020 me! Remember that!

So, 2019, how was it?

Well it started with a get together with my HS batchmates

Then Kat and I celebrated our 2nd year together

I love this woman. 

The I started my internship at NCMH.

I got to see what it was like to work in a government facility. It was an eye opening experience.

Another HS get together. We celebrated a friends birthday, adulting style,

Then went out with my GS friends, regressing style

From time to time, we needed to let loose.

Of course I still kept in touch with my college friends.

Had my first beach trip in a long time. It was also my first outing with my girlfriend

I tried to be more active at the clinic.

Speaking of trying to be more active. I realized that I needed to take more responsibility, go out of my comfort zone and try to work to learn. I’ve been so chill throughout my life. Things were just handed to me and I was able to go through life with minimal struggles. I’m not saying that its a bad thing having it easy and that I’m not grateful for it, it’s just that I realized, some struggle is needed in order to grow. Something that I lack.

2019 also had my usuals like Christmas with the cousins, dates with my girlfriend, Vermosa and chill with friends, and other little things that aren’t always captured in photos. Nevertheless, are still happy moments I am grateful for.

This year was also filled with anxiousness and stress. From my internship, comprehensive exams, thesis, and basically my existential issues. There are still some problems I will carry over with the coming year but I promise I would do something about it.

So what’s something new for my year end post? Hmmm

Things I wish I did and will try to do for 2020:

I wish 2019 was productive and fruitful but it’s too late for that one now. I just have to make it a point that I will finish my MA degree next academic year.

I wish I tried to lose weight. By 2020, it shouldn’t be a wish anymore. I should actually do it.

I should’ve worked already but again, the year has passed already. Come what may for this year.

I didn’t get to save money this year. Next year, I should keep my savings and promise to not spend my 50s anymore. OK?

So I guess that’s 2020 for me.

Life Lately

Happy Chinese/Lunar New Year! I’m supposed to post entry for TSC last Jan 30, but life gets in the way! The last week of Jan was full-packed, at least for me. It was a hella busy day filled with anticipation and fun memories with friends. 

Yes, I hang out with my hs besties. Will share more of it later. So, forget about the date discrepancies, I’ll just write as it is. 

Here we go!

CURRENTLY

READING: The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris. You know, I kind of have a love-hate relationship with this book. Actually, I am rereading it. First time I laid my hands on it was 2020 or is it last year? I don’t know, this book has a huge ego at its back, but I am taking every advice/tips with a grain of salt. You know how typical self-help book works.

WRITING:

Fresh morning pages from my journal entry.

LISTENING:

All Too Well (Sad Girl Autumn Version) by Taylor Swift. The long title cracked me up every time, but hey, I’m on acoustic Sunday mood. (I’d like to say I just switched from Toni Fowler x Makagago’s RAP SONG - Fake Friends.) #slaybhie not a fan but, curious what the fuss is all about. #opmisdead

THINKING:

About the goals I set for January, what was achieved and what was not (but in progress) too much self-torture later when I plan for Feb goals.

SMELLING:

Onion minced (pungent, sulfurous, onion-garlic type) Papa is cooking at the moment and I’m at a near kitchen spot. Wonder what he’s up to.

WISHING:

January to end! Haha! I don’t know, is it just me? I felt time’s moving so slow, at least for the month of January. Maybe because I have a lot of free time lately that I might be bored or aren’t looking forward to something?

HOPING:

To secure a job next month or within Q1. Update from my last panel interview, well, it went good. And just being shortlisted for a panel interview (2nd step) I’m utterly grateful already. I can’t believe I had experienced this amazing opportunity of a lifetime. I hope I’ll get through the next and final employment step (exam assessment) Tbh, this is really my dream job and I hope they will really consider me to offer me the role. If I’ll grade myself from my last performance, I’ll give myself a 9.5 since I do think and feel that I did my best and I performed to the best of my ability. Oh HR Gods and Goddesses! Please grant me this one already!!!

WEARING:

Peach V-neck tee and cotton shorts.

NEEDING:

A complete 8 hours of sleep + money. So, since I only have my side-hustle to sustain my living, it’s still not enough. I badly need a job right now to put my financial goals into reality. I’d considered many options but I’m trying to weigh it better and see for myself what and how it will work for me. *hoping for the new job to come and save me hah!

I spend the weekend watching the latest Spiderman movie with my high school besties. Not a huge marvel fan but I went through just because I miss these two, they’re my other set of friends in hs back then. It was fun, we reminisced about hs, shared our plans for the future, catch up with our current life, etc. 

Meeting them again was unbelievable. I mean, our last bonding was 6 years ago. We weren’t complete that day, we still have one other friend. We used to label our friendship #DAMS. Hahaha silly high school stuff. But catching up with them feels nice, we may have a lot of going on in our own lives, but I’m glad that we’re still friends, we just pick up where we left off. 

I felt like they hadn’t change (not in a bad way) The mannerisms, the way they talk, seeing them and hanging out with them feels like I’m back in high school. 

Surprisingly, I was fully-charged and energetic that day, I talked a lot, I even shared my resentments with them, my resentments in hs. This is like a big step up for me. Sharing my intimate thoughts with people whom I friends with but haven’t talked or saw frequently. We just know that we’re good friends within, and that’s more than enough. 

FEELING:

Renewed and calm. Definitely, there are points in my life that I want to keep the door shut and preferred to never talked about it again. But there are also points where I want to keep coming back for more. Surprisingly, I had the courage to do both and I felt like a mature adult.

I’m fighting anxiety by calming myself through meditation and stream of consciousness journaling.

Excited for February to kick in because I am claiming and manifesting that the new job is coming! My life is about to begin once again! It’s a new year after all, a new and perfect opportunity to turn things right and do things I missed last month.

I hope you start the week right and for February to be kind to you. Let me leave you a quote:

Happy Weekend! Cheers to a brighter and better February! Kung Hei Fat Choi!
