Do you keep a commonplace book? It’s not entirely a journal or a scrapbook – it’s more a carefully curated notebook compiled of texts copied from anywhere and everywhere. It can contain anything as long as it affects the compiler. I’ve had this one since I was 16, it is reserved for my most favourite lines from poems, books, songs, films, etc.

I feel so lonely

I woke up at 6:30 AM to study physics at 7:00. Best decision I’ve ever made, because I’m so much more productive in the morning. 🌞 My exam is exactly in one week so I’m hoping I’ll understand the topics well until then.

What’s your favorite study time?

In this post, I list 7 of my all-time favorite apps / chrome extensions that I use daily.  I hope I can help out some fellow uni students who are struggling.  This might help make studying less painful and a tiny tiny bit more enjoyable. 

love, edith 🌾

my quick tips for working / studying from home

- get dressed and style your hair as if you’re going to school/work - even use the same perfume/ cologne as you normally do  (trick your mind into being motivated)

- plan things out - everything (plan out your week, day, meal, etc. you can make these as specific as you’d like. this will help you stay on top of your work as well as stay healthy, especially if you live alone.)

- make studying/ working the first thing you do each day - best if you can start in the morning (minimize the tendency to procrastinate)

- just start - don’t worry too much about perfecting or finishing anything yet (if you don’t start then there’s nothing for you to perfect or get done. and it will never get done)

- listen to old and simple (aka non-distracting) podcasts, Youtube videos, or café/ chattering white-noise, etc. simply leave them as background noise to create an illusion of being outside your room (bring the presence of people to you. my favorites lately have been slam poems from 2016, Mae Martin’s stages, and Awsten Knight’s crackhead podcasts)

- set timers, for both study sessions and breaks (so that you don’t overwork, burn out, or procrastinate. the Pomodoro technique works great here)

- take advantage of the comfort of your own home (light a candle, have crunchy snacks, play loud music, review notes out loud while pacing around, wrap yourself in a blanket burrito, study on your bed if you can focus there like me, etc. basically anything you can’t do in a classroom, office, or the library)

- if you miss your friends, call/ text/ facetime them, make a study group chat with them, etc. (that is what technology is for)

- choose recreational activities/ self-care for your breaks instead of going on social media (go on walks, make small art, play an instrument, stretch, take a nap, etc. I usually reach for my guitar, brainstorm writing ideas, or sketch very simple line art.)

- if you want to go on social media, do it during meal times - or the 15 minutes after your meals that you can’t work just yet (it also doesn’t make you feel like you’re wasting time)

- study in different rooms for a change of scenery (dining room, living room, the patio, etc. I have an armchair next to the window that I study in whenever I need some sunlight and don’t have to write anything down. however, if you need a designated place to focus on your work, you can also use these alternative spaces as designated “relax” or “creative” place for your breaks)

- use this as an opportunity to take care of yourself (get enough sleep, drink water, exercise, talk to your family, take your meds, be mindful of your mental health, etc.)

Feel free to add your tips. The current situation sure is unpleasant but it is unavoidable. All we can really do now is take care of ourselves, others, and try to make the best out of this.

Good luck to everyone and stay safe! My heart is with you all 💕

‘old me’: calum’s uncertainty

there were a few moments that stood out to me in the first half of the ‘old me’ music video in regards to calum and his journey to choosing the band over a promising career in soccer. 

the first two were in quick succession. first we see young ashton and calum standing next to each other, clearly at odds as ash refuses to look at cal and instead maintains a hard gaze at the camera. it’s been mentioned before how ashton questioned calum’s commitment to the band at first and it’s fair that he would have been upset by this: 5sos was ashton’s ticket out of sydney, and it could have been easy to assume calum was just tagging along for the hell of it.

in the next shot we see all four members standing together, three of them looking at the camera to symbolize their commitment to the group, while calum is still looking away, hesitant to go all in on something that might never lead to anything substantial. he can still turn back. at this point, he can leave the band and still find success in another area he’s talented in.

a few scenes later the boys are all in the living room, just being friends and fucking around. there’s a shot of calum smiling with them, still holding onto his soccer ball but now looking directly into the camera. he’s happy here. he knows these three guys are the best friends he’s ever had, that he can be himself around them, be loud and outgoing and not worry about whether he looks cool doing it.

and then, my favourite moment: ashton kicks his ball away. there’s still some underlying tension there, but now instead of resenting calum, ashton’s on a misson to prove that this is what he should be doing. staying with the band is the path he’s meant to take. 

and finally, the boys are gathered in the kitchen. the lighting is as bright as it’s been yet for young 5sos, and calum is laughing along with them, not a soccer ball in sight. he’s made his decision, and while he has no idea where it’s going to take him, he knows he’s ready to face it with his three best friends.
