Thur: Would you rather have free wifi wherever you go or have free coffee wherever or whenever you want?
Wifi all the way, im happy to pay for a good coffee
What my morning has been looking like. Starting to feel unprepared for this exam ahhh.
Hoping this blue sky will stick around until the weekend
hi everyone!
I’ve been gone for a while because to be honest, focusing at home is really hard. Please don’t feel bad if your productivity is not on the same level it normally is - this is an unusual situation. Stay safe and take care of your mental health.

6 February 2019 | Finally feeling like I have a decent handle on some of these tenses—yay! That coffee shop I mentioned a bit ago that had the white chocolate honey lavender latte had a rosemary shortbread latte today and I just couldn’t help myself. It was so extremely worth every happy little brain-nourishing calorie.

I have been watching the documentary “ #Explained ” on Netflix recently. The episode about #Anxiety and #Mindfulness really inspired me and remind me how much I used to enjoy meditation. I have difficulties to feel my emotions or connect with my inner-self. It is really hard for me to know how stress or exhausted I am. Sometimes, I have a sudden breakdown, couldn’t tell others why I am upset because I literally have no idea why. Daily meditation is definitely necessary for my final year
2020 will be my year because i will make it my year
i failed a class. i’m not saying this to be sad, because i’ve mourned for an evening (by sitting up in bed and drawing and maybe just a little bit of crying), but because i did say that i would be completely transparent about my failures on this blog. the truth is, sometimes hard work doesn’t lead to immediate success. for me this comes as a relatively new thing; in undergrad i’d been used to mildly minimal effort (except during hell week where i would cease to be a human being and turn into a paper-writing ghost) and maximum output and good grades. i learned that in the real world, this does not happen, and even the best effort can only bring you so much. am i saying this to be depressing? no. i think i learned many lessons about how to study and how not to study, and i’m proud of myself for making it this far. today, i decided to push aside a lot of the grief i was still feeling (yes, i’m dramatic, i have a leo moon) to work at a cafe with my sister; i have another exam next week. moving forward helps. i realized that feeling sorry for yourself usually leads to downward spirals and being stuck in a sad, sad hole. so i studied for 7 hours and finished half the syllabus (aka the exam coverage). i sketched my sister, laughed, had light fluffy pancakes, and played with my cat. there is so much more to learn, and maybe some of it comes from being to laugh at myself and my failures. we’ll all make it someday. just gotta keep trying. - sam
How to strengthen your brain outside of school:
Maybe you’re not in school anymore, or you’re taking a gap year to save for school and you’re worried about keeping your brain fast and not getting too lazy. Well, here are a few helpful ways to make sure that you keep thinking:
Read books daily. Always have a book on the go. Reading keeps your brain active and it’s a cathartic activity. If you’re feeling up to it, read self-improvement books, or informative books.
Watch Ted Talks. Not only are these videos filled with so much great information, they are also inspiring.
Think about where you want to be in the future and start preparing for that. If this means that you need to spend hours of your life prepping the perfect resume so you can get a job or internship that takes you a step closer, then so be it. If you want to start your own business I’d highly recommend that you research the hell out of entrepreneurship.
Exercise. Exercise is important for the brain. It also keeps you happy, which in turn keeps you motivated.
Expand your vocabulary. Write down the words you don’t know in books and look them up, keep them on flashcards and memorize them. Big vocabularies are so important and they do come in handy.
Learn a new language. You can do this for free on apps like Duolingo or you can actually go and take courses somewhere. This could help you so much if you plan on doing University abroad or even getting a job there.
Watch documentaries. Netflix can currently teach you about the Vietnam war, World War II, the Earth, the global food trade etc. Learn.
Watch the news, listen to it or read about it. It’s important that we know what’s happening right now and memes can distract us, but try to be informed. Maybe you can make a difference.
Learn a new skill. It’s time to learn something you’ve always wanted to, whether it’s cooking, sewing, art, photography, yoga, mechanics etc. Teach yourself.
Do online classes to boost your grades for University.
Do online classes because you’re curious. Don’t stifle your curiosity. Curiosity is an asset.
Challenge yourself to do one productive thing every day. Don’t let yourself go to bed without mental stimulation for the day.
Habits of successful students
Discipline: “discipline is doing what needs to be done, even when you don’t want to”, which means that you have to force yourself to start doing things.
Concentration: when you make a real effort in your work (study, homeworks etc…) you will be more likely to actually focus, understand and learn.
Organization: always set tasks and goals and organize a study-schedule. Maybe you don’t really want to plan all the week, but if you just wake up and open your agenda/bullet journal/iphone calendar and write down all the things you have to do, setting due dates and deadlines, you’ll feel more conscious and encouraged to stay on track.
Tasks-splitting: sometimes, you write down your tasks. Some of these tasks may be very hard and complicated, and it will take a long long time to complete them. So, you can split them in smaller tasks, so you will feel satisfied after a shorter period of time, instead of studying for hours and still seeing that chapter undone on your study-schedule.
Watch the sunrise: when I wake up late, I feel like I don’t have enought time to do my work and lose my motivation. I literally panic and then I think “whatever, I could not complete all the things anyway”. So, if you wake up earlier you will feel more positive and controlled.
Smart reading: try not to read your textbook just like a newspaper. For every paragraph you read, try to underline and write down key words and then your question about that subject. Literally, turn your textbook into questions. If you write down question - particularly why…? - and think about the answer, you will be more likely to remember that stuff later.
Healthy lifestile: if you don’t drink enough water in the morning, you will be more likely to have a decrease of concentration in the afternoon/evening, so: stay hydrated. Try also to have some snaks every one-two hours: feed your brain.

Sometimes self care is studying for that test. Sometimes it’s cleaning your room. Sometimes it’s having that conversation you’re afraid of having, confront that person you’re afraid to confront. Sometimes it’s not just wrapping yourself up in a blanket and relaxing. Sometimes instead, it’s taking action against the problem.
