one thing that so many students forget is that, a win is a win. if you planned on doing english homework but instead you finished your history essay, celebrate that, don’t be upset taht you didn’t sick to your plan, at least you got SOMETHING DONE. a win is a fucking win and don’t let anyone tell you different.

5.4.24 | The cherry blossoms are melting into the rich green hues of late spring & I cling to the poetry of the moment. I woke up to rain this morning, a new transition. My heart is full from a month of spring festivities & now the pause before the chaos of summer. ♡ 𝑁𝑜𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑖

▪︎ Poetry & the Creative Mind gala live stream event (I will never pass on the chance to hear Meryl Streep read poetry: "So Much Happiness" by Naomi Shihab Nye.)

▪︎ Cherry blossom festivals ft. my favorite taiko 太鼓 drummer group, taiyaki 鯛焼き soft serve, Shiba Inu puppies, crochet flower bouquets & a giant narwhal plushie ♡

▪︎ Poetry Month w/ the Big Six Romantics & haiku masters, sipping plum wine, reading beneath plum blossoms

discipline is self care

self care isn't just face masks and bubble baths, it's also doing your assignment in advance so you won't pull an all nighter before the deadline, cooking at home instead of ordering out; discipline is an act of self love and care

be addicted to real dopamine

be in the present and notice those little things you never saw before, but that have always been there

experience new exciting things that bring you joy

love people, listen to them and create meaningful connections

make art and don’t label it as “good” or “bad,” just let your soul be free

stop scrolling on social media and start turning pages of an interesting book

do mindfulness meditation and feel your body and mind calming down

move your body, no matter how as long as you’re enjoying

listen to music that matches the moment you’re in

eat nourishing food, feel your stomach full without discomfort

get a good night of sleep and feel yourself ready for another day

Are you trapped on tumblr right now?

Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Consider this your save point.

Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.

I had a professor in college who used to start solving every problem with the same dialogue.

Proff: What’s the first step to solving any problem? Class: Don’t panic. Proff: And why is that? Class: Because we know more than we think we do.

I think about that a lot tbh. It didn’t occur to me until much later that he meant for us to apply that dialogue outside of the classroom to any problem. Because we always know more than we think we do. We are all an amalgam of random information that ends up being relevant with surprising frequency.

learning languages study guide

daily: ♡ vocabulary and grammar practice ♡ lessons (i have four lessons per week at school. if you don't already take lessons, look into free language courses on alison, coursera or 101 languages)

once per week: ♡ translate a short text (i like to translate my journal entries)

one per fortnight/month: ♡ watch a movie in your target language, preferably animated movies as the language used is easier. you can watch with subtitles

additionally: ♡ talk to yourself; your friends; your pets in your target language ♡ text with someone in your target language ♡ repeat what you hear (in a podcast, lesson or movie)

luck with your language learning❤️

I find balancing school assignments and personal interest and hobbies hard at times. Managing your time is tricky when you want to do well in everything you touch T_T. I get that focusing on certain things leaving others is better for achieving goals but I get just so sad when I have to do that :(

Hope you have a good week!

Yesterday's classes got cancelled, my thesis lab included, so I didn't even get that to sweeten the fact I have ochem today. Lab mates laugh at my dramatic sighs but I genuinely don't enjoy ochem at all and every lab feels like a battle against the apparatus that refuses to cooperate. Not to mention the smell. I smelled xylene for the first time today and it was not an enjoyable experience 2/10 would not recommend. Thank goodness I have pchem lab tomorrow. Pchem lab save me... Pchem lab... Save me pchem lab...
