my two cents on this whole academia thing

running to class because you spent too long talking to friends and teachers. eating cake while walking around. scribbling notes on your wrists that you'd otherwise forget. falling in love with people over and over. blasting music in your headphones while on your way to school. creative sparks in the silent study area. doodling on the worksheet. putting stickers on your student id. running up the 3 flights of stairs. finishing the task too quickly and spending the rest of the lesson bored and sleepy. imagining a murder mystery in your school halls. staying up late to dream of a life one day you are bound to live.

Hello September! Here's my bullet journal spread for this month.

I really love the colours for this one.

[ragandoeslaw-deactivated2025021]

my #1 tip for school is to keep it simple and sustainable

don't get crazy with your bullet journal with the expectation you'll have that energy every week/month. sometimes its just gonna be a barebones checklist and that's okay! it is first and foremost to keep you organized, dont stress over consistency or aesthetic cohesion. same with your class notes; if you focus too much on the quality of your handwriting you'll forget what you were writing in the first place (ask me how i know)

dont go nuts color coding stuff bc eventually, inevitably, one of your highlighters will die, they wont carry folders in your Designated Color, etc. dont let that collapse your system

dont chunk up your time doing 15 minutes kf math 15 minutes of english 15 minutes of chemistry. you'll go crazy trying to be more efficient (ask me how i know!!! 😭) and retain less

basically dont spend so much time thinking about how you're gonna study that you don't focus on what you're studying. thats what made me have to drop out of my latin class in college; i was so sure that if i could just devise the perfect system the classwork would just flow and i'd be golden. well i never found the perfect system (bc it doesnt exist) and i went weeks without doing any work bc i was so petrified to start in suboptimal conditions. you know "do it scared"? do it sloppily. do it messily. do it on the back of a napkin. do it with so little fanfare that the anxiety doesn't have time to take hold before you're done.

Experiencing academic failure a lot at the moment. ツ My heart aches for nature. A strange momentum.

05.19.2023 spring update!

slowly building some good habits back up! i've been walking around campus more than biking and i'm trying to spend more time in the library.

i bombed my math quiz last night, but i feel like i'm finally starting to understand my physics class so, you win some, you lose some, i suppose

[deanwinchesterapologist]

as we move into the final stretch of the "school year" i would like to reiterate that the world is beautiful and there's more to life than college. very soon we will lay in the grass and stare into the night. okay
