I'd personalize my Tumblr, but I'm too busy studying! Senior(ish) at UWO. Political Science major, German minor.

I see that a lot of people are doing 100 days of productivity...

well, my procrastination has become severe after I “graduated” (but not really) and now, in order to actually get my degree, I have 57 days left to complete two online (self-paced, the worst) classes in which I’ve submitted one assignment a piece (after being in them for a year, this is really bad). So, I am challenging myself to 57 days of productivity. The punishment if I fail? $400 (to extend my classes). And if I succeed? My bachelor’s degree! And the ability to apply to graduate school!

my morning with es-pr-it & writing up geography notes + maths revision !

[rakutstudies]

Working on that mound of homework. Hooray.

Looks the same as all my other notes, but here’s what I’m working on today

[rakutstudies]

The homework I got today takes up two days worth of space in my planner. Someone remind me why I'm taking 21 credits again 😅

[30/01/15] [21:31] back at it with the physics revision posters, just for fun this time, no mock yet!

Today my professor told the class that she doesn't give 100% on quizzes, participation, or homework assignments

She said she only gives up to a 95%

I hate that. If a 95% were the highest possible grade, it wouldn't be out of 100%.

My interim class starts tomorrow

and even though my professor hasn't posted a syllabus yet, I've already read (and taken notes on) the introductory chapter of the book for the class :)

Starting to work on my online classes...finally! I've been really procrastinating on these 😕

You know that circle planner thing which times in it? What does it do? Is it helpful? How do you make one?

It’s called a Chronodex. You can use it to schedule your day or keep track of how you’ve spent your time. I find it to be very helpful, especially as a visual person. The best part about the chronodex, in my opinion, is that it is pretty customizable to your needs. You can draw your own (or another variation, like a spiraldex) but Patrick Ng (the creator of the chronodex) has templates on his website for free, and you can also learn more about it there.

Been slacking off on my work so I woke up early today and started to catch up on my work, mostly for history, and organize my work space and classes before school starts next week. And I bought some Sharpie Pens yesterday and I absolutely love how they’re so easy to write with, especially on post-it notes!!

Sometimes I feel like

waiting for grades to come in is the most stressful part of the semester.

Hi! Have a great day! Would you be so kind to tell me where did you buy your wonderful planner? Or maybe the name of it? Thanks! I'm in love w/your blog♡

It's the 2015 Ardium Index Diary Planner, and I got it on eBay :)

Thank you :))

Quick reminder: Community college isn't bad!

If you’re going into community college, get rid of the rumors that it means you’re

second best

not smart enough to get into a university

lazy

unmotivated

destined to be stuck in the mud

I know it can be hard seeing all the university students in action in the tags but that doesn’t make you any less amazing and smart as them!

[rakutstudies]

I’ll second this. I originally planned to spend my first two years at a community college, but the social stigma made me change my mind and go to a not very good, overpriced public school no one outside of Wisconsin has heard of in a state 1,000 miles from home where I didn’t know anyone and had no support when things got overwhelming. 

I’ve spent almost $100,000 on a mediocre (at best) education. I’ve met a lot of great people along the way, and learned how to be an adult incredibly quickly, but it wasn’t really worth it.

Don’t let other peoples’ opinions of community college make you change your mind. An education is still an education, and the costs of going to university these days are outrageous! Unless you receive a large scholarship, or get accepted into a very well known school, going to university just to go is not the wisest decision.

In many, many cases, going to community college is the best option. I find myself wishing I had a lot of the time.

Hi~ I just read through the assignments that you wrote in your planner. You wrote 'korrekten'. Do you mean 'korrigieren'?

I actually think I meant to write "Korrekturen"
