Hey there! welcome to my blog (๑>◡<๑) !!
As this is an intro post, I should correctly introduce myself. I'm Finn, I'm 19 (use she/her and he/him pronouns but prefer the latter) and currently studying undergrad physics. I want to specialize in astrophysics and currently I'm part of a semi-research group run by students at my university. I'm Peruvian, so English is not my first language hehe.
I joined studyblr bc I love talking about what I do and documenting my life (I even considered making video blogs, and maybe someday I will). I'm didn't really join for accountability (tho it works a lil bit) and not bc I needed tips or anything. Luckily, I've managed to learn a lot about my own studying habits and what works for me to have a balanced life. I do like my career and such, but apart from that I wasn't doing much else, so this blogs helps me to think about what I want to do day by day —studying, but also staying away from social media and doing other activities like reading, writing, working out, or just being present in my own life. it may seem contradictory, but having this small place to record it all after a day or two helps me to stay away from instagram or tiktok.
Other things about me ദ്ദി(ᵔᗜᵔ) (totally optional read)
i support palestine, lgtbq+ rights, immigrations rights
started studying in 2023, and got to join my research group early on. that's why I'm part of the "management" now, kinda like the leaders in an administrative sense.
I love using kaomojis on here, even tho I don't use them anywhere else ; (◞‸◟) its hard to copy and paste when im texting
like I said, I also like writing! before starting uni, I was actually deciding between physics and some literature based career. I chose physics bc I can still write while studying physics, but it's imposible to get a job in physics without having a degree. I don't regret my decision at all, i love what I do and what my career has given me thous far.
some things I really like: animanga (evangelion, bsd, shadow house, owari no seraph, etc), my little pony, greys anatomy, green (the color), honkai star rail, zenless zone zero, the living tombstone, embroidering, reading, music in general (like so many genres its crazy, but mainly kpop, japanese rock and vocaloid), and probably so many more things im forgetting and will regret not putting on here.
i also enjoy fashion, but I don't have the time to make crazy outfits and such. I still try to dress somewhat within my style and wanted style, and do things with my hair. I also embroider some of the clothes I wear!
Academic things(?) about me :3
my plan is to graduate in 2028 and start my masters right way. I already have chosen the university and country I'd like to study my masters degree, so that's the goal of every choice I make and every activity I join academically. to make my cv as good as possible so I can study my masters there and maybe get a scholarship in the way.
I always say that I know how I study and what works for me but I haven't really explained it, so here it goes. i learned how to study in my first semester of university (in school I didn't need to study), and its obvious I was trying a lot of things bc my courses beat my ass. I didn't pass one of them and the rest were pass on low grades. however, by the end of it I knew myself better in that sense too. also, its true that its better if you fuck up early, because everything after is easier (mentally, mostly).
Basically, treating studying like a job its what works for me IN TERMS OF HOURS OF THE DAY —do not think of studying like a job please. Early in the mornings and at night im completely disconnected from studying and I can't focus. I study better from like 9 am to 8 pm, so in that time I can schedule classes and study hours. also, I work in 45 min sessions, with the possibility of expanding it if im about to finish something but it requires like 5-10 min more. I also take breaks of 10-15 min. I really like it because it works with my focus flow but it still gives me time to look away from the screen or get up if I need to stretch (∩˃o˂∩)
Blog stuff (ó﹏ò｡)
my post follow the fruit and warm color aesthetic of my entire blog >.- the aesthetic pics are from Pinterest and the notes or desks pics I post are mine
I don't post daily bc I like to do it at night and sometimes I don't have the energy to get my laptop and write. this posts take me like an 30 mins to make so its not sooo little time. I try to make post talking about 2 or 3 days
i don't think I'll talk much about my interest, but if you want to talk about them in dms im not against it!! I'd love to make friends on here ( ≧ᗜ≦)
Final considerations:
as I made this blog to just share about myself, I'm not chasing numbers or anything like that. still, getting just 1 note makes me happy because it meant someone else —different from me— read my post and said "oh, I like this, I liked the day(s) this person had". and if that's, 5, 10, 20 notes, I feel accompanied by you. if I didn't get likes I'd still do it, but im human and chasing community is what we do.
this was sooo long lmao, but I already said I love talking about myself so what ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
