how to get back into studying when you don’t have a routine 🏡🌿🌙

it’s ok to have a fresh start whenever you need one - sometimes it’s easy to get stuck in a rut where you find you can’t plan, focus or be productive, or you have so much to catch up on you don’t have time to tackle much else. at any point, it’s fine to reboot. take care of yourself, plan your week, try something new, finish all the tasks you need to! why not now?

prioritise your tasks - organise your tasks into urgent, important but can wait, and to be done if you have free time, then tackle them from most important to least important. that way you’ve divided and cleared your to do list and that pile of tasks doesn’t look as intimidating. and if it works for you, a timetable could help!

switch up the ways in which you learn - doing the same thing over and over can be taxing so changing how you study and keeping things fresh can rekindle your interest and motivation. instead of glossing over old notes, watch a video. create a presentation ! teach your notes to a friend. introducing new ways of learning can help you have more fun and also improve what you retain.

do whatever you need to motivate you - make sure you’re eating. get enough sleep! dress comfy. or dress fancy! do your makeup all cute. don’t do your makeup at all! hang out with friends and family! spend some time alone. spice things up. deviating from your typical routine is a good way to feel like you’ve restarted and introduce change.

📚 27 February 2019 📚

My semester does not start until April so I’m at work right now. Still I started to study a bit for economics next semester when I get back from work as I know there won’t be much time for studying on the weekends. 

I actually enjoy studying a lot after 10 weeks without lectures and “only” working, but right now I’m quite tired and exhausted. The trade fair I’m helping to organize starts next week and there’s still so much to do, I hope everything will work out in the end!

was studying for sat when suddenly pretty pretty light filtered through my window. i couldnt resist so here it is yall

[wholesome-suggestion]

not everyday is going to be productive and happy. some days are going to be pretty tough and sometimes all you can do is lie down and sigh. but that’s okay! because you are doing your absolute best, even if your best is allowing yourself to cry, allowing yourself to sleep, allowing yourself to breathe.

saturday mornings were created so you can catch up on all the work you didn’t do during the week because you were too busy watching friends.

It’s okay to feel tired. Take yourself to bed at 9pm, and tuck yourself in like the cute burrito you are. Tomorrow is new and full of opportunities.

How my GPA went from a 1.5 to a 3.7

As the second semester of my second year begins, I took a good look at my transcript from this year and my last and saw some BIG changes, and after I got thinking about it, there were bigger changes than just my GPA; let me explain.

My first year of university I set out as a science student, thinking I was headed towards a 3yr. BSC in Biochemistry and BOY WAS I WRONG. In high school, I’d ignored all my strengths and focused on sciences, which to be honest wasn’t my shining point in academia. When I applied for direct entry into the science faculty I got in due to my high GPA (thank you social sciences) and started my first year chock-full of science classes, physics, chemistry, cell biology and a & p; not to mention the labs that go along with it. After just one month of school I was failing and not in the cute “i only got 70% on my midterm” failing, I had gotten less than 40% on not one but two midterms that semester. It took a lot out of me, I would skip school because I hated it so much, wouldn't study, my social life and mental health began to take huge tolls on me, and I was suffocating. When finals season rolled around I had to bust my butt off to get C’s and D’s in my science courses, and then it dawned on me that I was in the wrong faculty. 

For years in my high school career I’ve been told there's no money in the Arts. Making arts degrees seem like less work and less of an accomplishment and I let those fake ideas get to my head and want to prove something to myself and the surrounding people, that I could do those science classes and be one of the smart kids. It’s once I stopped stereotyping Arts degrees that I really became who I needed to be and started enjoying studying. 

Don’t get me wrong, science degrees are tough to get through, but that doesn’t make the arts any easier. They both require dedication and practice and hard work, and the whole “there’s no money in the arts” facade is completely false.

This year I enrolled in a degree that I’m actually interested in and passionate about, studying language and how it works makes me want to get up and go to class, my entire life is better because of it. I go to the gym, I’ve started to eat healthier, take control of my sleep schedule, I’m volunteering and living such a happy and fulfilling life. I wouldn’t be here if I just followed my passions, my GPA change is enough to show that. 

I guess this story isn’t like a lot of the others, I’m not an aspiring doctor or lawyer or anything else that society deems fancy or higher in status, I’m going to study speech pathology, maybe get a PhD in Speech and Language Disorders because guess what, that's what I love doing and what you love is never going to put you on the wrong path.
