feeling pretty confident about this maths exam for the first time since i’ve been in university, if only thanks to online calculus calculators XD

[myhoneststudyblr]

here is my brand new challenge! i’ve known that i was going to do this challenge since i started my summer challenge in july so i am so psyched to be able to finally share it with you guys! i hope that you will enjoy it <3

DISCLAIMER: lots of the prompts in December are to do with Christmas because that is what i celebrate at this time of year. i was very aware of that when i was writing the prompts but i did not think that knew enough about other festivals and holidays at this time to write prompts about them. i did not want any prompts i made to be disrespectful. if you don’t celebrate Christmas, please know that this challenge is still for you! you can either just use the prompts anyway (if they are applicable) or adapt them to fit the festival or holiday that you celebrate. if it is impossible to adapt, then simply tell me about what you celebrate because i am excited to learn about them! [this was edited later because i realised i forgot to add it - thank you to the anon who queried this issue for reminding me <3]

✨ Info ✨

If you do the challenge, use the tag #winter studying challenge so i (and others) can see your posts. I try to reblog as many as possible. 

This challenge will run for two months - from the 1st December to the 31st January

There are daily prompts for every day of December and January 

But as always I don’t expect everyone to be able to post every day so you can always do catchup posts!

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an ask!

✨ Rules ✨

If you want to do the challenge, please reblog this post

If you do it on any other social media platform (ie. Instagram), please give credit. You can find my instagram here - my username is the same as on here @myhoneststudyblr

Day 65/100 of productivity · 11/20/20

Busy day today. I am 2 weeks out from my earliest final, a month away from my last one. I also have quite a few assignments and labs to finish by then, so it is a very stressful time. I am just trying to stay afloat, remind myself why I am doing this, and stay focused on doing well.

[just-another-martian]

our teachers really came through when they decided to give not one, but two online midterms today..........................i hate college?

[just-another-martian]

my dear, dear, dear friends! any tips on how to cram your way through your midterms? i have two days + tonight left and i am very late

[margomagazine]

6/nov/20 ⛅️✨🍃 studying outside today

[paper-and-string]

//4 November 2020//

I’m teaching anatomy to the lower years this term and it’s really been a lot of fun! I’ve realized I really love explaining things to others (especially anatomy).

In between classes I usually get a 15 min break and I use the board in my classroom to study for microbiology (at home I just scribble on my laptop as you can see, paper who?)

Had a weird day today, couldn’t really focus. So I did the bare minimum of work I needed to accomplish today, and spent the rest of the day reading this book! It’s called “You Look Like a Thing and I Love You” by Janelle Shane, and it’s about AI. I wasn’t sure if it would be interesting enough to hold my fragmented attention but it was peppered with real life examples and funny anecdotes and results which kept me engaged and laughing.

Would it have been smarter to review stats for my upcoming exam? Yes. Am I sad I did this instead? No.

Fall 2020 Quarantine Challenge: What is on your desk?

Oh boy I have not cleaned it in a while, so here we go from left to right:

2 plants, a bunch of candles, lots of notebooks, my lamp, charging wires, another notebook, my laptop, my pens, more wires and batteries (but in a cup this time!), my bamboo, 2 water bottles, another notebook and some breadboard stuff, a mug, my clock, some snack bars, and some skincare stuff.

My desk is really wide, and the left and right are essentially shelves and don’t really function as a desk (which is what I say to justify the mess lol)

maybe...................maybe i’m thinking about it (doing the 100 days of productivity challenge to get out of a very long slump)

Got up early, headed to uni and had about one productive hour before it got so dark and moody outside.

Some study notes and the view this morning 🥰✨

lazy days

[a-study-log]

I know I’m pretty late to this but I really wanted to take part so, here it is.

Day 1 of @myhoneststudyblr ‘s challenge : Introduce yourself and tell what you study

I’m A, currently looking forward to start my 4th year of a dual degree in biology. I finished the undergrad part of my degree a couple weeks ago and still can’t believe it. I’m majoring in biology and have plans about studying ecology and declaring it my niche ;)

I also study French ( currently an A2 trying to revise and remember things). I recently started learning Russian. Feel free to correct my French/ Russian or converse with me. I make a lot of mistakes but would love to talk to you.

//03.11.2020,T

I’m absolutely in love with my new set up! There’s ample light during the day (the picture with my laptop was taken which the lights off), a huge window wight behind my desk, plants on the window, my old whiteboard on the wall and extra space for my books to ensure that I don’t have a messy or overcrowded desk (but let’s see how that goes).

I finally resumed my language learning and started revising for GATE and JAM since they’re just a little over 3 months away. I don’t want to stress myself in the last minute so, I’ve spread out the syllabus over a couple months so that I can revise and study well. //

Language learning :

Je étudie l’alphabet russe.
