you know how sunflowers turn to follow the sun? to feel the warmth bless their faces? that’s how I feel around you, I can’t take my eyes off you, can’t look away from the way you shine
when something leaves it’s okay to rage and cry and scream into the hole it left behind, but it’s also okay to whisper “thank you for the time we had together” and close the door softly on that part of your life
you are still an artist, a creator, a masterpiece maker, even if you feel like your work has stagnated, you will overcome the weight of this world and create again, you will find the joy in your art again someday
my door is always open, just knock and I’ll be here for you

Working on a project for school. It’s not that hard but very tiring and exhausting.
Song at the moment: Carnivore - Bear Attack
Current book: The Bear and the Nightingale

27/03/19 - Today I got up at 5AM, went to my lectures, wrote a bit of my essay, studied some more and when I got home, the book I ordered on Russian grammar was waiting for me. Overall, a great day. I also bought myself some cute plaid trousers and a t-shirt, since it’s getting warmer now.
✨french today✨
Unfortunately, French is not one of my favs subjects, because I have an awful teacher who makes me hate French.
Wish me luck for my French exam!🍀

Get more confident
Becoming more confident is a long journey full of hard work. I’ve always had very low confidence but in the last few years I managed to become more confident than I ever imagined I’d be. Here are the things that helped me with my confidence the most:
Wake up with music that makes you feel good -Create a playlist of songs that make you feel alive and powerful and then listen to it every morning. If you aren’t waking up to Everybody loves me by OneRepublic… What are you even doing?
Stop being mean to yourself -So many of us call ourselves a disappointment on daily basis without realising it. I want you to imagine you are talking to a friend, not yourself. You wouldn’t call your friend useless every time they mess up, would ya?
Wear clothes you are comfortable in -I’m not necessarily talking physical comfort. You should feel beautiful in your clothes. It can be wearing sweatpants or croptops, it’s your choice!
Declutter your space -Throw away things that make you feel bad. All the clothes you don’t like wearing, all the clutter that makes you feel like crap at home. Even throwing away the shampoo that doesn’t smell nice to you is helpful.
Work out -Again it’s not as much about looking good but feeling good. You want to feel strong or fast or whatever your goal may be.
Appreciate small victories -A great journaling prompt is just to sit down every single evening and write down at least 3 small or big victories of the day.
Try new things -Get out of your comfort zone and try the things you’ve always wanted to do. For me personally it was talking to more poeple. I found more friends and realised I can make people laugh and that was a great confidence boost.
Walk with your head high -This is a sort of “fake it ‘til you make it” type of thing. Don’t look down when you walk and keep your back straight. Walk like an assassin on a mission.
Find what you’re good at -Get to know your talents.
Don’t rely on compliments from others -Learn to appreciate and compliment yourself.
Find what kind of vibes you want to have and work on that -Do you want to be a ray of sunshine? Smile more and wear bright colours. Become who you want to be.
Take care of your body -Force yourself to feel good in your skin.
Get familiar with your body -Stop avoiding mirrors. Find the things you love about it and accept things you don’t like. Be grateful for your body taking care of you the way it does.
As alwas I truly hope I helped at least some of you and have an amazing year full of self love!
study like a gryffindor: break out the good snacks and pump the music, use breaks as a time to work out, go to the professor’s office hours when you have questions, be confident in your ability to succeed
study like a hufflepuff: organize study groups, do your readings in your comfiest sweaters, write your own notes and study guides from the textbook, be unafraid of the hard work that studying takes
study like a ravenclaw: think critically when re-reading notes, quiz yourself while brushing your teeth, tackle the hardest practice problems, know that you have the skills to get it done
study like a slytherin: use every resource available to study, use your notes to make your own lecture, challenge yourself by setting goals even if you’re not sure you can achieve them, be proud when you do well
University Tips (non-conventional)
If these help anyone, great!
Set your timetable as your phone background for the first few weeks. Use this method for no. 6 too if you can be bothered.
Wear sports bras/bralettes to lectures instead of the ones with a buckle at the back. They tend to poke and prod your back after a while if you’re leaning back. Sports bras don’t.
Lay a towel on your bed a few days before your period is due. If you leak on a towel you can just wash it or throw it away. Easier than washing and changing the sheets (esp. if you’re in a rush to get to a lecture!).
When you’re in a lecture taking notes on a laptop remember to turn down the brightness on your screen, especially if the lecturer has dimmed the lights. Otherwise you’ll annoy others and drain your battery.
Save your recordings at every given break instead of making one continuous one through pausing. Sometimes files are too large to save and you don’t want to risk losing the entire lecture recording. Save as you go along.
If you need to remember something (e.g. a library book, USB, locker key..) write it on a post-it note and stick it on your shoes before you sleep. Make sure they’re the shoes you intend to wear the next day!
Don’t shoot me: if you have left an assignment really late, stay up as long as you can completing it (yes, that means an all-nighter may be needed). Sleep as soon as you’ve handed it in.
If you use tech in a lecture e.g. phone for recording or electronic notetaking on your laptop, then mess around with it before uni begins. Know what buttons to press and when, otherwise you’ll mess up your notes and annoy others, with your excessive clicking.
Always, always, ALWAYS carry a plastic bag/carrier bag. You might need to make a trip to the library, drink may spill in your bag so you’ll need an alternative. Seriously, just carry one.
Find out where coursework/assignment are submitted within your first week on campus. Ask admin how the procedure works and make sure you know it inside out.
Spend a day wondering around campus (before timetabled lectures start). Find out where the library is, talk to the librarians and ask them how to borrow/return books and also how to reserve!
When you get your timetable be sure to visit the lecture halls and seminar rooms a few days before the term starts so you know where to go. Find out where the toilets are in those buildings too.
Find out where your lecturers offices are. Know the building and floor that they’re on (they’re usually all in the same place).
Carry cereal bars and other non perishable foods that take up little room. Sometimes your tummy rumbles really loud in a lecture, give it some love.
Volunteer in your first year of university, these is the least hectic year (usually!). You want something to put on that CV and those post grad applications!
In the UK the first year generally doesn’t count toward the final degree classification but those grades WILL show up on your transcript. Make sure they look decent. When you apply for post grad courses, if you don’t have the certificate yet (because you’re still completing the course) the university/institution will ask for your grade transcript. First year grades come up first!
A huge part of your degree classification/GPA comes from the final year thesis. Talk to as many older students as you can and ask them what topics they picked and how they went about it. A great thesis/dissertation will literally move you from a 2:1 to a 1st.
When you have a meeting with your supervisor take notes and write up a short summary of what was said, similar to writing up “meeting minutes”. This will be helpful for you and your supervisor. Especially if you take long breaks before meeting again.
I’ll update this list as things come to me. I hope it helps.
We all hit that point in studying when we just need a break. Breaks are so important when studying and what you do on those breaks are just as important.
Take a walk
I love going on a walk during my breaks. It’s a great way to get some fresh air, see the sun. A change in scenery is always helpful for me to relax and refuel!
Move around
Maybe the weather is to yucky to go outside for a walk. So try to do a quick workout. I like to do some sit ups and crutches since it starts waking me up. You could also find some yoga stretches, pilates video, or follow in the steps of Grey’s Anatomy and throw yourself a little dance party! Anything to get up and moving around.
Tidy up
If you’re anything like me, you absolutely love cleaning! If you’re at home studying and have chores to do this is a great method! During your breaks focus on a room to tidy up. Maybe it’s doing some dishes, or vacuuming, or laundry. Whatever it is, have that be the target of your study break. You’ll get some rest from the books and by the end of the day you’ll have your chores all done!
Snack
Have some healthy snacks on hand for this one. Popcorn, apples, almonds, and dark chocolate are some great options! I actually wrote a post a few months ago on “Brain Food” I’ll search it and link it here on the benefits of each “brain” food!
Drink water
You should be keeping up on this while you’re studying but if not, grab some water during your breaks. If you don’t like the taste of plain water than add some fruit to it! Here’s a cute infuser if you want to do this!
If you're looking for a calming cute app where you don't have to constantly be on it. Then, I suggest Tsuki 💗 • I really like this app because I don't have to be on it for so long. Instead, they expect you to only check the app once in awhile so you can see adventures Tsuki did, his memories and etc 😊
Here is the apps description: Escape to the countryside and see what it truly means to live a beautiful life.
Tsuki was lonely. A stressful job. A thankless boss. A busy, chaotic life in a noisy city. But one day with the arrival of a plain letter... everything changed for Tsuki.
The letter was from Tsuki's grandfather who had passed away, leaving Tsuki the family carrot farm in rustic Mushroom Village. What a perfect opportunity for a new beginning.
Now, here in the countryside, away from all the noise and stress of a former life, Tsuki quickly comes to appreciate the simple things.
Whether it's fishing with Yori the fox, reading books with Chi the giraffe, or sampling the most delicious bowl of ramen made by Tsuki's good friend, Bobo the panda... every moment is precious.
Join Tsuki in an awe-inspiring adventure and discover all the beauty that country life has to offer.
