You'll get more chances. At friendships. At relationships. At job/school related progress. At following your dreams. At chasing your passions. It's not now or never. There will always be other chances and other opportunities.

Dear October, please be good to me.

vaguely academic things to do to keep yourself entertained

go down a wikipedia research hole by clicking the first term you don’t understand

binge a crashcourse series end to end (personal recs: world history, history of science, big history, philosophy)

find free books on project gutenberg

download some western classics for free

borrow books and audiobooks from the libby app or borrowbox

start a commonplace book

take a khan academy course

browse MIT’s free online course materials

teach yourself to code

go on a google scholar essay dive

try the open access button to avoid some paywalls for academic media, or install unpaywall that does a similar thing

research the history of the place you where you live

tempt the wrath of the duolingo owl and learn a language

search for online streams of the local tv in your target language’s country and use as background noise for immersion points

print and scrapbook favourite poetry and literature quotes

improve your handwriting by doing handwriting exercises

learn philosophy with the philosophize this! podcast. actually just check out all the educational spotify podcasts there are many good ones

start a weekly club with friends to share new and interesting things you’ve learnt that week

clean and reorganise your study space, physical or digital

check out online museums

fave educational youtube channels that I adore: vsauce, crashcourse, smarter every day, kurzgesagt, school of life, tom scott, r. c. waldun, vsauce3, primer, mark rober, veritasium, asapSCIENCE, scishow, TED-ed

hopefully you’ll find something to enjoy! happy learning x

07/29/2020, summer studying challenge

have you done or are you planning to do any activities (such as work experience, summer schools or watching lectures) other than normal work during the summer?

yes, i have a lot of music stuff to do. everything (lessons, summer festivals) is virtual which is so different (not in a good way), but at least it is more convenient and casual. plus, because i have no idea which of the things i’m working on next year will even happen, it’s sometimes hard to find motivation. but i’m lucky that i like most of my repertoire!

Here's your daily reminders!

Drink your water!

Take your meds!

Have something to eat!

Have a couple minutes to yourself to think and breathe!

Please look after yourself!

i be like "i know a spot" and then take you to the huge old library to discuss literature and spend the night locked in.

🐶 콜드 - your dog loves you 🐶

this is another song that calms me a lot and makes me love my dog even more. i think all pet owners can agree with me when i say that all our pets deserve the world, because they really do.

100 days of productivity

I can’t believe it’s almost August... July went by so fast yet I did so much without even realizing!! (Again the sticker is made by my lovely friend @bluelotusmagi)

30th July - Beach or Swimming pool?

I’m obligated to say beach sjjd As you’ve probably seen from my answers each day spending time on the beach with my friends is a big part of my summer and most of my cherished memories are made there!!

100 days of productivity - day 6

it seems that on fridays i can rest a little bit because i don't have classes, but i attend masjid every friday. this is actually my favourote part of the week. i always wait for jummah with excitement especially today - i had to thank Allah swt for the job i have gotten. oh, and i'm still struggling with the malinowski's paper. even though it's appealing, i can't finish it

would you ever consider a digital bujo or would it be hard for you to give up paper? I’ve fully transitioned into a digital bujo only after months of going back and forth between digital and paper. I finally don’t miss my paper anymore! 💚

02.11.2019// today's study setup!

Most important task today is summarizing the last missing chapter of Habilidades Directivas. It's the last chapter missing for my exams next week! I'd love to say I'd be done with everything by then, but no - group works and readings for the university here in Spain, deciding on a topic for a paper and continuing my mini-thesis for my university at home in Germany. I hope I'll get done as much as possible!

pooh’s book club: el túnel {5/10 books READ!}

i believe this is the first 1st-person narrative i have read in spanish, and i truly wonder if anything else will ever top it. i had zero expectations going into it, and was completely thrown for a loop as the plot was revealed. if a book can make me visibly and physically uncomfortable enough to exclaim my displeasure aloud, then that’s a good read for me.
