Thinking of restarting this tumblr

Is that crazy? Is tumblr still a thing? Where do I blog?

I was contemplating deleting all the old posts, but I think it’s important to keep those living stress dreams to remind me that studying makes me crazy(er).

I keep thinking “Why do I feel so stressed? Like what is wrong with me, can’t I just chill and get on with life?”

Then I remember I have two jobs and am in my 4th year of a full time university degree and I instead think “How did I get myself into this?”

I need to hurry up and kick this degree’s arse before it seriously kicks mine.

ok can we agree that the WORST feeling is when you’re just sitting around consciously procrastinating and you’re just overly aware that each second that passes is more time wasted and you like watch hours pass and you’re STILL procrastinating and you CANT STOP and your panicked brain is trapped inside a body that refuses to be productive and inside you’re screaming but outwardly you’re just eating chips

This was my whole semester. How I made it to the other side I’ll never know.

I am an April Fool

So I was really hoping that my hatred of being on the internet on April Fools (nothing is real!!) would lead to a productive day of uni work today. Of course I’m an idiot, and I came on tumblr to share this hopeful wish...two hours ago.

I got lost in a tumblr hole and didn’t even make my hopeful post before disappointing myself lol.

Student Problems

When you’re proud of accomplishing so much on your to-do list...and you realise that was last week’s list.

Turns out I haven’t started this week’s list.

Internal conflict

Me: I have several huge assignments due in the next few weeks, I better get to work! Also me: I should play a game of MarioKart!

[duskxfloater]

How does that work?

It doesn’t seem fair that low word counts are just as hard, if not harder than large word counts.

I have a take-home exam, which in theory should be really easy. I mean 1) it’s a take-home exam! Open book! Use of internet! No reference list! And 2) it only has two questions worth 750 words each.

Turns out mini-essays are crazy hard. Who knew! There’s been so much content in this unit that choosing what to use is a test of its own.

Last night of study for the semester 🎉🇫🇷

Two assignments handed in Friday, two group assignments due tomorrow, then I have two assessments left this week and semester is officially over for me! WOOO!

Time for sleep. I just got more done in the last three or four hours than I have in the last three or four days.

Life is unfair.

Finally managed to stop making notes and actually start writing this assignment. So it’s almost midnight on Sunday and I have class at 9AM tomorrow, so what? I’m actually writing damn it!
