I started going to the gym again and my mental health has been doing a lot better. I’m just enjoying uni a lot more. I’m having fun with my classes, and it’s nice to see my friends everyday. I need to remember to calm down and stop stressing over the small things.

Now that I’ve left Florida of course I got a content writing job at a Florida based boating company 😂 Spent the day researching Marco Island. Definitely miss the 90 degree sunshine but haven’t felt homesick for FL yet.
Ways to actually start studying after procrastinating
Don't multi-task: Multitasking does not come in the form of making notes and watching Netflix, it can come in the form of switching between two or three subjects too many times then it is like washing a plate and watching a show. It barely makes any sense to me.
Batching: Batching is where you take your to-do list and batch similar tasks into groups and take a break in between these batches.
Do Not Use Pomodoro Technique: Don't use the Pomodoro Technique because you have fixed tasks (tasks that require a particular amount of time) and flexible tasks (tasks that might take up more time than fixed tasks).
Flashcards: These things are the gamer-changers. Flashcards can be used in subjects which have a lot of terms that you need to remember, such as biology, chemistry,etc.
Don't feel bad about modifying your to-do list: If you have your math homework and an exam due next week, and you don't feel like doing math then you could study for your exam. Its okay to modify your tasks according to your mood.
Bonus tip: If you have to revise a chapter, get a few blank pages and put it beside your textbook/notes. While reading your notes, write down points that you can't remember or think is important that you wanna recap later on. If you compile those papers up that could be your go-to revision booklet before your exams.
I am a little inconsistent but I'm not gonna hold that against myself right now. I was working on fixing some (python) code earlier and I did laundry today. emailed everyone I needed to email which I embarrassingly struggle a lot with emailing bc of my anxiety. it take me like an hour to write a simple email 😭 but it's okay, I did it, that's what matters! also the thunderstorm passed just in time for me to see the beautiful sunset colors on the clouds :)
tomorrow: hoping to get some c++ learning in tomorrow. maybe try to make a new icon for this studyblr w pixel art?

There is so much to do and not enough time to get it all done! I swear I need more than 24 hours in a day. I love what I study and I love college, but sometimes it gets tiring.
On the bright side, I got a job offer!! It’s to be a part time tutor for high school students :) The pay is decent and the work is flexible, which is perfect for us college students. This will be the first job I’ve ever had, so it’s scary but also exciting!
