Preparing again for the Sunday test. And trying to improve more this time. My friend took me to subway because he thinks I did quite good on my last test 😭 I'm really grateful to have such people in my life. Also, I've started using an app for my mental health and its been of quite help. I think I'll use it for a long time. Ok, bye!

Exams are hard and I have a lot this month.

But pretty spreads inspire me a lot, so here’s the one for this month.

I love this time of the year… horror movies here I come! (Once I finish studying of course)

18-19/100 DAYS OF PRODUCTIVITY

18-19.06.2021

My exams are here and still for some reason I can't resist the temptation of sitting down with a good book and cranberries juice.

1. Read all my content for EVS exam

2. Gave the aforementioned EVS exam and it turned out to be good. Even if my exam software crashed and that turned out to be a 6 hour exam instead of 3 :(

3. Studied German for a few hours.

4. Finalized important official documents.

5. Read a couple of chapters out of a book.

6. Went shopping with Mum.

Next exam is German! Wish me luck people. 💖💖💖

Reading my first ever Murakami book, Norwegian Wood. God, is his writing beautiful!

It's been quite some time since I have been active here but I miss this place dearly, and if everything works out I might be a bit more active [im truly trying] I have some 4 ish months left to prepare so accountability is quite necessary at this point. Also, today's 3rd anniversary of this blog and I once again can't understand the passage of time, (I'm working on a lil smth tho 👀) so look forward to it and many more posts^^

5 lessons from my first year of university

Introduction

Recently I've been reflecting on my first year of university while mentoring younger students at my institution. Speaking with them got me thinking about what valuable lessons I took away from that crucial time. I decided to make a post about it! These are generalised advice that I hope will apply regardless of your area of study. I'm considering an architecture/design school-specific post for the future -- let me know if there is interest in that. :)

🪴 1: Know all your deadlines.

Staying on top of your assignments is vital, especially during the most hectic exam/submission periods. I suggest having a calendar to keep track of all your upcoming deadlines. Either physical or digital will work fine; I personally use a combination of both. It's also worth finding out about your deadlines as soon as possible. Your modules may provide you with a termly overview early on - if you receive this or something similar, make good use of it to plan ahead.

🪴 2: Ask questions.

There is nothing embarrassing about asking your professors/tutors when you don’t understand something! It saves you from worrying about the knowledge gap in future study sessions. Don't wait for anyone to ask -- often someone else will have the same question, but if both of you think the same and neither step up, neither of you will get an answer. Be brave, it's worth it.

🪴 3: Use all the resources at your disposal.

There are a lot of advantages to being a university student -- namely, you have a plethora of academic resources available. For one thing, make the most of your libraries as much as you can. If you're looking for a text, your university library catalogue should be your first port of call; very likely you will find it there. Similarly, get ahold of any online journals that your university account can access. Academic papers are brilliant research resources. Outside of campus, see what your university ID can get you -- apart from student discounts, it can also give you easy access to some external institutions that may hold useful resources for your studies. Find out what's available and make note of them, you never know what might come in handy!

🪴 4: Find some comradeship.

Here I am specifically speaking of making friends within your programme/course. Depending on your cohort size, this may be easier or harder. There will be times when everything piles onto you and you're busy to no end. In those moments, having comrades to continue onwards together is crucial for the basic needs of staying sane. Mutual support goes a long way, so try to build some relationships with others studying the same subject as you. As people in the same boat, they will understand your academic struggles and worries. Some may even be able to help you out and/or offer useful advice to alleviate your stress. (That being said, having friends outside of your subject can be useful when you need to destress and get away from your daily toil. A healthy mix of both is the best solution.)

🪴 5: Engage with your studies proactively.

The university experience is highly autonomous; you get as much out of it as you put in. Not only is it the first taste of independent living for many people, but it is also a time when you are fully responsible for your academic pursuits. Go out there and explore! Engage in activities outside your classes that speak to your interests in your field. Read outside your prescribed reading list. Volunteer for a charity that organises events to your tastes. If you don't know what you're most interested in yet, that's fine -- use this time to try new things and find out what that is! Being in university is a stage of life brimming with opportunities. Seek and you shall find.

Thanks for reading! 🌟
