Finally now that 5th semester has ended. I'm officially in my last semester of my Baccalaureate degree. It's ending soo soon and fast, I'm kinda nervous. Everything feels too fast forward. It was my first semester when I look back and now I'm in third year.

Life moves too fast to catch up sometimes, but some moments in those feels like a slow mo movie shot.

Oh how the time is flying. Reminds me of an excerpt from "To The Virgins, to Make Much of Time" by Robert Herrick.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,

Old Time is still a-flying;

And this same flower that smiles today,

Tomorrow will be dying.

Well, back to studies, only 4 days left till my finals, preparations are tough. But it'll pass soon. Will keep updating as soon as I get time.

Btw that quote from Mackay (pic) is totally genius.

Went to college today, watched a lil short movie in russian. I also got my diploma results of last year (physical copy). Didn't did much else today. It's the next day now, I'm writing this at 12.33 but I'm still going to write 21st November. I came back from a little late night venture with my friend, mainly to get something to eat but later on couldn't find something so we were just roaming around the city lol. It was fun.

Didn't had much to study today so I just revised some old notes. Today I cleaned up most of my apartment. Couldn't start my tbr book, but will soon. Might go to classes tomorrow for Russian. Do some revise in the morning, so that I don't look like a dummy in the class.

I'm back at my flat from home. Vacations are officially over, and I should also start getting my sh!t together as well. My university exams would start from 5 December.

I'm also going to continue keeping the healthy routine I've developed at home in here as well, which is going to be a really hard part.

Tomorrow I'm planning to complete reading the play "The Importance of Being Ernest" by Oscar Wilde. Going to take little steps on completing my syllabus, so it doesn't overwhelms me too much. That's it. Will be back with a definite update on my studies.

Notion - working on it

Currently creating a notion planner for myself, maybe that can motivate me to study. Having a little burn out moment here, but I try to get back on track soon.

I don't want to take studying as something I have to do, more of something I genuinely love want do. But currently it's giving me so much pressure, especially when my finals are somewhat near (next month).

"Woman says she won't stop until her Pinterest Boards became a Reality" – an article I read somewhere.

Study tracking help

New on this study tracking thing, what should I start with, and any good tracking apps anyone can recommend. Thank you.

I study English Literature and Russian Language. Currently in my last uni year, and would definitely go for the masters next.

We see how much we have grown,

When all we see around is the shades of black instead of rainbows,

Like the ash leaving behind the bustling and vibrant fire.
