Hello! If you´re reading this, welcome to my blog! This thing has been going for >2 years now, and is now witnessing my first year in university!
Status: Stem orientation summer semester!
(Some sideblog shenanigans may leave traces to here o.o - for any confused souls)

Education ✮⋆˙
completed gymnasium with a 1,0 :D
just for funsies - these were hs subjects I chose to have advanced: math, economics, physics and art, (also enjoyed philosophy and polish lots :))
tried out architecture in the first winter semester
────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──────────
Hobbies ✮⋆˙
Art! [love making it and consuming]
Adventure & Mountains! [skiing, cycling, climbing, hiking, and so on <3]
Figure Skating! [Passed the german 8. Kürklasse, but currently not really practicing]
The internet! [my curated Youtube and Pinterest, kpop (skz ult, xdh & xikers stan + Nmixx, Itzy, Zb1 (ot9 </3), Nexz and then some), Ninjago, minecraft, there's probably more] oh and reading of course (mainly fantasy)
────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──────────
My Studyblr ✮⋆˙
Why did I make a Studyblr?
Archiving! To look back at my struggles and motivate me to get through stuff (f.e exams)
Discipline! Because I found a loophole for my brain, where if I tell the internet I'll do something I feel obligated to do it lmao
Give back to the community! Studyblr helped me discover countless useful tips and tricks, as well as cool blogs that motivate me! I want to share my experiences in my own little corner of the internet for people to find.
Goals(new):
find a bachelor I am confident in pursuing = try out everything & explore
oh obviously do good in uni! Don't fail!!
sustain healthy habits (like sleep, sport, focus and discipline)
expand my knowledge outside of uni
What to expect:
This blog is both a journal and archive for my academic journey, a diary of sorts. There will be everything and anything related to school (mostly tracking my progress), but also just my life. All photos are mine, except said otherwise.

Hardest part of my decision crisis done (the Motivation letter for one course), the documents for this one are submitted AND TOMORROW IS BTS CONCERT DAY WOOOOO 🥳🥳 WE’RE FORGETTING EVERYTHING BAD IN LIFE FOR A MOMENT AND PARTYING OUR ASSES OFF
I have never in my life have studied so little for any exams ever. I haven’t even touched math. But hey, it’s a great low stakes scenario to test if I can pass with one week of prep :)

i think if you’re feeling a certain kind of way and you know why you’re feeling it & you’ve done everything you can about the problem causing the feeling for the time being you should be able to go to your guardian angel and smile beatifically and say “i’ve done my feelings homework” and they smile beatifically back at you and say “alright my child” and they tap you on the head and you feel an immense sense of peace that washes through you and escapes as light from your fingertips and then you feel normal again
Reminder to check your public transportation tickets and when they expire because you might have forgotten you only bought it for 6 months and you could have to pay a nice fine now 😃😃
Hello!! I'm on the up side of my mood waves right now, so I thought I'd write about today. I put a lot of effort recently into trying to get my head sorted out (once again). Friends make everything better :) Especially if they're happy to let you (literally) cry on their shoulder
🗒 What I did today:
Physics exercise sheet
today's math lecture notes
math notes from last week I missed
mechanics seminar & lecture
The last mechanics lecture. The prof for this was so cute, an older man who is just so excited about what he gets to teach us. Like he gets so excited about questions but there really aren't any because he explains everything very well xd.
Why is the voice in my head still saying "but you could stay home" every time I go somewhere I can technically avoid. Like staying in my room alone has ever done me any favours. Once I'm there I always feel better and glad I went. Life narrator in my brain clueless af apparently
Last math lecture of this semester today! It went by so fast 😅
To think that at the beginning I was overwhelmed by sequences and series only to be dragged through differential equations. Uni math is really another level than high school (even advanced). But I'm glad I did it :)
tomorrow I'm doing a be in a good mood challenge. Take a fun drink with me on the way. dress fun. Study in the library a bit. smile to my parents. And get some stuff done
I can’t make this up. the second I went out the train, the most assaulting wave of rain ever came down and I had to run for my life. I came to the physics tutorial completely soaked, like dripping wet. I had to wring out my pants to not turn the room into a lake. The tutor had a good chuckle (I like her a lot haha). I didn’t take a fun drink with me so I tried a fun desert in the cantine, chia pudding for the first time. It was mid. And because I don’t want to sit in the library like a wet dog I’m going home to change. My shoes are still waterlogged.
But you know what? Im still in a good mood and if I wouldn’t have decided for that attitude I would be pissed as fuck rn. So the challenge is unironically going great

Ngl gang it’s not looking too good 😀 I might not be on studyblr for the next weeks (says the one who hasn’t posted regularly once this semester, to no one‘s surprise)
(slight vent) say it with me: documenting, journaling, also writing down the lows, okayyy?
I‘m just the most stressed I’ve been in my life I think. Or more like ~heavy?I just feel so heavy with everything. And I’ve been like that for the last half year (and I learned to deal with it more or less) but now is like actually the deadline in a couple weeks. I can’t sleep enough, have trouble eating enough, tears are ready in command, I just feel… kinda hopeless.
And when you are in a state like that and open up to your parents they might just start dropping lore. Like mental health lore that makes me want to get a diagnosis or at least some meds, because oof. That’s on being told you have the same brain as your father.
I dont think I will be studying for the exams. I’ll just get ‚participation‘ and not ‚completion‘ for the certificate but it doesn’t really matter.
My days are fine. Enjoyable even. Sometimes I’ll even smile more than half assed. I’m seeing my friends. But the second I can think again…
Like idk. I don’t know. Is this my first time being so lost? I don’t know what to do with myself. I just really don’t know and it’s terrifying. Im aware of the time dimension moving every second.
Ah yeah, this whole thing is about I don’t know what bachelor to do, which (I looked in journals and diaries) goes back now 2 years actually? And I won’t attempt to lay down the reasons for that. It’s too late for that. Have to wake up at 6:30 tmr. But I cooked the potatoes to take with me today already. So maybe I’ll get some extra minutes of sleep.
Today I 'booked a therapy-hour' with my professor he calls it, which is just a conversation with him about life/struggels/worries which he said he is open to anytime. And talking to people with life experience who want to help you and are ready to share feels really nice
