rainy day studying for a linguistics quiz next friday.

Friendly reminder that Duolingo cannot teach you a language, but it is good practice for vocabulary being seen in context and goes well with additional resources like a textbook!

hey everybody please remember that covid-19 is still a thing….. wear your masks when you’re out and don’t go out unless it’s absolutely necessary

[murakamikickingmeintheteeth]

u know, it’s actually good practice to wear a mask as preventative for the regular seasonal cold & flu too. Shouts out to all my logically & practically minded mask wearers. My friends! haha

Savouring the quiet moments 🌱

[mentalhealth]

don’t ever let anyone make you feel ashamed for not going down a conventional path (e.g. not finishing college or starting college later in life, doing an internship in your late 20s, not having a "career” by a certain age). all of this is arbitrary. do not create a life that aims to satisfy everyone but yourself. you worked hard as fuck to get to where you are. don’t you dare let others including yourself diminish those efforts. you do not deserve that. especially if you did it all while battling mental illness.

18.02.2020 // brown sugar and cinnamon lattes are my faaaaaavorite. it’s been raining for solid weeks now with only having had a few sunny days here and there. it can be a real bummer on the mood, and make it hard to get out of bed each morning, but i’m trying to hone in on the “cozy vibes” until spring finally comes to brighten up the world.

hi - it’s been a while!

little update on my life since this blog has been on an unplanned hiatus for the past 1-2 yrs: i’m now in 5th year, one year away from being a grad! i’m studying part time to allow for work: having recently completed an internship i’m now working in marketing for two different companies alongside studying. i didn’t end up going on exchange to canada; instead i went on a study tour (5 countries in ~4 weeks) and have travelled independently (pre-covid of course)! keen to get back into blogging, once semester 1 finals are out the way i’ll be posting more regularly ❤️

hoping everyone has a safe & enjoyable winter/summer break! much love xx

Taking the first ever hybrid accounting class at my college means the schedule is super accelerated and i already have a midterm to study for. I’m in good shape though (for now).

please try your best to not let anyone or anything tell you that you’re not doing your best - you’re allowed to recognise, validate and celebrate your own achievements

Another year another planner 😍 doing a bit of goal setting for 2019!

For the last quarter of 2018 I took a bit of a break from tumblr & social media to focus on balancing work and uni. I’m proud to say it paid off & I achieved my semester 2 study goals! Hoping I can keep up that momentum in 2019 so that I can fix my GPA and WAM before I graduate 😅

How’s your new year going? Wishing you all a happy healthy 2019 ❤️

(ps I made a studygram - it’s annastudiesthings if the link above isn’t great! thanks heaps in advance to anyone who checks it out ❤️❤️ will be posting lots more once uni starts up in a couple weeks!)

celebrate your accomplishments. even if they don’t seem much, you made something good happen.

didn’t get an A even if you studied the whole night? well, you got a B, so celebrate that. don’t forget to be happy for your accomplishments. you’ve worked hard for it and you should be proud of yourself.

Coffee in the morning is a brief moment of calm and happiness

[annastudiesthings]

thinking of going on exchange to the university of british columbia (UBC) if i can fit it into my degree - are there any UBC students out there who’d be willing to chat with me about their experiences (esp. regarding cost of living, what classes are like, etc.)? would greatly appreciate!! :)

(i’m mainly considering doing units in either marketing or languages, so if you’re studying either of those at UBC pls message me!)

forgive yourself. whether you fail a test, eat too many cookies, say the wrong thing, fail a class, or spend a whole day in bed — learn to forgive yourself. the next day will be better. the next day will be a day closer to your next success. you can do it.
