My life now includes drowning myself in economics , meal preping for school and drinking green smoothies! Managed to drink a green smoothie 3 days in a row now hopefully this helps my skin out! (it also helps with my bowel movements hehe) Also I've managed to prepare a meal for school for almost 2 weeks now! I think I may finally got back into the habit🥰 If you're wondering what I cooked it's a one pot pesto pasta kinda thing it's pretty tasty if I say so myself HAHAHA. I got the recipe from sorted food they did a youtube video on it! All that aside I hope everyone is taking care of themselves and having a productive day❤❤❤

Gosh I hate grind culture. My little sister just started medical school and all of her orientation leaders are like “you absolutely cannot have a life WHATsoever you WILL have to give up EVERYTHING besides this program say GOODBYE to your hobbies and relationships” and now she’s calling me feeling guilty for running and going to the grocery store and that’s just WRONG! And that is exactly what I was told starting law school as well, and rejecting that mentality was the best thing I ever did but it was so hard not to buy into. Anyway if any of you are in an intense academic program PLEASE take time to sleep and eat and exercise and maintain your relationships and keep up your hobbies! you are not a robot who exists solely to study and I promise that living a life and staying physically and mentally healthy is not going to make you fail

Sometimes, distracting your sadness does more harm than good. Feel it, cry, cry as much as you need to, don’t be afraid to let it out, it feels like that pain in your soul will never go away, but let me tell you: it will. You’ll feel better again.

My resistance bands came in the mail the other day! I love adding resistance bands into my usual workouts. They really help when I use them during stretch exercises. Today I tried out the Taylor Swift 15 minute dance party by Madfit and oooo sis let me tell you that required a lot of balance and thigh power! 🔥

Also , would definitely recommend working out before your classes! I found out that it keeps me energised and engaged for longer periods of time during my 3hr lectures. Also had some dim sum today!! love me some good dim sum 🥟

“[I]t is actually more expensive to be poor than not poor. If you can’t afford the first month’s rent and security deposit you need in order to rent an apartment, you may get stuck in an overpriced residential motel. If you don’t have a kitchen or even a refrigerator and microwave, you will find yourself falling back on convenience store food, which — in addition to its nutritional deficits — is also alarmingly overpriced. If you need a loan, as most poor people eventually do, you will end up paying an interest rate many times more than what a more affluent borrower would be charged. To be poor — especially with children to support and care for — is a perpetual high-wire act.”

Had 2 online lessons today! one of them started at 8:15am and its lowkey still a struggle😴 to wake up early for class but, once i get some hot green tea🍵 into my system i’m all good and ready to go! 

I had a pretty good workout today! did one of Madfit’s dance workouts 💃, a butt  and core workout. I’m trying to make my core stronger since that part of my body is not really the strongest but its okay! in time i’ll get there!

Cooked up some stir fried swiss brown mushrooms with red bell peppers and onions and sprinkled some salt, pepper and garlic powder! I love this combination of veggies and mushrooms hehe I ate them with some brown rice🍚 and chicken.

Wishing everyone a great week ahead!!! Wishing you all the productivity and love❤️🥰

Any study tips..? Or just all in all life tips?

Here are a few I can think of off the top of my head

start early

plan ahead / keep a diary / journal to stay organised

sometimes less is more

if you can’t explain something in simple terms, you don’t know it

trust your instincts

have some sort of creative hobby or a creative outlet, even if you’re not good at things creative-wise. they’re fun and a great way to wind down after stressful days.

take breaks when studying for a long time

I have tons more study tips linked here and non-study/life tips linked here!

23.08.Sunday Officially just went through my first week of Uni!!!

Honestly speaking it’s been tough trying to pay attention during online lectures (my lessons are online till dec) like my attention span is worst than a goldfish🐟 i deadass started online shopping during a lecture someone pls save me I’ve been on my 9 month post A level break so it might take awhile for me to adjust to using my brain cells again🙃

I personally think Uni is really a fast paced environment and you really just got to get your grind on and start doing the work as soon as your profs assign them to you because time is really precious!!! but never forget to take breaks and show yourself that self love you deserve❤️❤️❤️

monday, august 17th, 2020 | it’s the first day of the new semester! I’m going to have to change up my schedule a bit to handle profs uploading recorded lectures at random times, but that’s okay. this semester is going to be all about being flexible and trying my best! 🌟

[joycestudyblr]

just had my first online class for uni! The content is pretty interesting! it’s a bit difficult to understand the readings due to the level of eloquence of the text but i’m determined to prepare sufficiently for each of the lessons and contribute in future class discussions!
