Life of an IR nerd

3d year university student, majoring in International & European Studies with a minor in Economics. Attempting. Coffee addict, perpetual state of wanderlust. Learning to love & put myself first while juggling school and life.

Picture this:

It is the day of your graduation. Finally, all those years of studying, reading, writing and staying up late preparing for tests and exams are over. Soon, you’ll be heading out into the real world- maybe you have a job lined up, or plan to look for one. Maybe an internship, or more study, or some other unexpected but equally wonderful path. You have done well academically, even if you lost motivation at times or messed up a few papers. As you get called onto the stage you stand in your shiny robe and look out into the audience to see the proud faces of your loved ones. You smile. All that time and effort had paid off, it was all worth it. 

Still want to give up?

Hot coffee and cold winter mornings are two of the best soul mates who ever did find each other.

Productive morning at last ✌🏻

Cleaned my room last night, cleared my desk, tidied everything up to make sure I woke up in a clean environment.

Set my alarm for 7:30, allowed myself breakfast & John Oliver to start the week off right. 

Worked on a presentation 8:30-11:00, then showered and went to my first driving lesson. 

Had a balanced lunch and gonna chill for a couple of hours before going back to my project 

sidenote: I’m finding myself using my planner less and my google calendar +todoist more. Just helps me to note something down whether I'm working on my laptop, chilling on my iPad or on the go w/ my phone. If anyones having trouble making their planner work for them (i.e. forgetting it at home, not checking it etc) try google calendar and todoist. I have a mac, android phone and iPad and they sync  perfectly on all my devices on dedicated apps and the web.

27.04.17 I finally uploaded my final assignments and now I can get down to some intense revision! Back in my favourite cafe, deleting all of these tabs I’ve had open for weeks, all of them journals for these two reports. Why do professors organise deadlines to always be at the same time? Why do they hate us? In other news how amazing is the design and textures this cafe has? I love it so. much. xxx emily
