A fresh new start! #Studyblr tag
So... It’s been quite a while since I’ve been active on this blog. It’s been way too long, actually. I’ve deleted all my old posts in an impulse, so that I could start with a fresh new blog.
So since everything is gone (and since I’ve been gone for so long) I thought it would be cool to introduce myself again, using a studyblr tag. So here I am!
What’s your degree/major?
What does a typical day look like?
I usually wake up around 6:30, get ready, eat breakfast, attend/watch lectures, study, eat dinner, watch some Netflix and go to bed around 22:30.
What is your weakest subject?
It’s definitely contract law, and just private law in general. I scored 5/20 on contract law... twice. Not my proudest moment. But when I retook it this year I realized how little I understood of it, and now I finally passed it.
What is your strongest subject?
My highest score I ever had was for European law: 14/20. Might not seem like a lot for some, but this really was an accomplishment for me. Compared to my peers, my best one was constitutional law. Although I scored 13/20, around 75% of those who also succeeded the subject scored a worse grade than I did (so 10-12).
What is your favourite subject?
European law for sure, I really found a passion in it to be honest
No, I suck at drawing so I don’t want to ruin my notes/bullet journal with them
When do you plan to graduate?
If everything goes okay I’ll graduate from my bachelors the coming year (so 2020-2021), and my masters in 2022-2023. However, whether this will be possible or not depends on the grades I’ll get Wednesday for my 2 resits, so I’m honestly quite stressed. But that’s okay, let’s hope for a graduation in 2020-2021
Do you plan to do a post-grad?
It’s quite standard to do a masters degree here in Belgium, you don’t even have to apply or anything, you can just enroll in it like that. So yeah, I’ll definitely get a masters. I’d love to even go for a second masters degree, but for that they do have requirements and interviews and all that stuff, so I hope I’ll get to enroll in it. If I’d ever get the chance for a PhD I’ll definitely take it, but with my grades I fear that this is just a dream
Are you a morning or night studier?
I’m a morning studier. I’m extremely productive in the morning and as the day passes by, my motivation and concentration both drop massively.
How often do you go out and party?
Right now I obviously don’t. Before covid, I went clubbing once or twice in a semester. I honestly don’t really enjoy it that much
Do you pull all-nighters?
Nope, I just cannot focus during the night, so it’s better for me to just go to sleep and try again the next morning.
What’s your proudest academic achievement?
So this year we had this subject, torts, it’s said to be the hardest subject of the second year. And on my exam, I actually got a bonus point for creativity because I was apparently the only one of the entire group (350 students) with that answer, and it wasn’t on the marking scheme either, but what I had answered was correct.
