my little project comeback pt.1
getting back into the swing of school after almost a month of holidays has been a real struggle so here’s a list of my goals and tricks/tips I’m using to achieve them. Hopefully some of this is useful to you guys!
managing my anxiety:
1. daily meditation - okay so my psychologist convinced me to give this a try since i’ve had a massive anxiety spiral. I’ve been using the app ‘smiling mind’ and doing the daily meditation courses for 16-18y olds. 2. no longer multitasking - no looking at my phone while watching a movie, no longer scrolling while listening to a podcast. Sitting and doing ONE thing at a time. 3. journalling - I journal almost every night. I reinforce everything I’m proud of myself for and list things/ habits that don’t serve the person I want to be. Eg. getting up and straight away scrolling through social media.
School:
1. Getting to school 45mins-1h before the first class & studying - I get some really good & productive work done in the morning! I usually try and get my homework done then but I also work on assignments when I don’t have homework. 2. actually stopping procrastination - legitimately removing the stress and judgement from what I’m doing and just looking at all my actions for what they are has helped me be like “okay cool, so i realise I’m wasting so much time watching glee, I’ll do a few more hours of study and then watch another episode” 3. Making quizlets for myself! - every week/2weeks I make a quizlet folder to revise from! It keeps all the content fresh!
so this has gotten too long, so imma make a pt. 2 for health, exercise & sleep!!
Be mindful of how you criticise yourself. Adding on stress and anxiety through negative self talk for what you didn’t do or what you did won’t move you anywhere positive. Instead, choose instead to redirect those negative self thoughts into accepting for what today was and grateful for what tomorrow can be.
I'm really interested in learning Japanese but I'm not really sure where to start with it.
It’s amazing how someone can teach themselves a whole new language by themselves. I self-studied Japanese and never used a textbook. There are so many resources for learning, online and free. You can learn just using the online or free resources listed here and beyond. But where do you start?
First, start with hiragana. There are many ways to learn it.
flashcards, or use quizlet to drill it into your head
Dr. Moku app ( has one for katakana too) I highly recommend this but $

Next understand more about hiragana like long vowel sounds, muddied sounds, The Small や、ゆ、and よ, the small つ、the long vowel sound with Tae Kim.
Then more with katakana. Learn the long vowel sound and the small ア イ ウ エ オ with Tae Kim again.
Then additional sounds using whatever method helped you learn hiragana and katakana.
Done with all that? Now, drop romaji. It’s dead to you. A little reluctant? Practice more.
Learn grammar next with vocab and kanji on the side. It’s hard to learn grammar without vocab and it’s hard to learn words without understanding some kanji. I know it’s tough but once you ride it out through grammar learning Japanese becomes much smoother and easier. It’s not as frustrating. It’s so fun.

Download Japanese dictionary and Japanese-English dictionary on iPhone in settings, go to dictionary on settings
After all that just keep practicing. Go to your best free resource, your public library and find books in your level, watch videos in Japanese, read manga, watch a film in Japanese etc.
Also, here’s a good masterpost that also lists other good masterposts and more.
Here’s some miscellaneous advice I want to give beforehand I really hope you'll take:
Try using the Japanese dictionary the most, not the Japanese-English one but the completely in Japanese definitions of words one. Use Japanese-English when you can’t understand the Japanese definition to help yourself. I found English words given to define Japanese words seem to be similar words or/and words the Japanese word is usually translated in. It’s hard to really understand the word exactly. To really understand the word I find myself having to read the Japanese definitions. This is literally what I give the most credit for my progress in Japanese. ( some good ones are kotobank and goo辞書 as well as the iPhone one.)
Learn loan words. Sometimes they aren’t used like the language it originally came from uses it.
Understand what radicals are so you use them to look up kanji. Lots of Japanese dictionaries let you look up by radical.
Practice stroke order. I mean my handwriting is messy but a least it’s legible and not as messy as it could be.
learn Dialects!
Some words use a couple different kanjis. Learn the nuances of using those different kanjis in the word.
Read news in Japanese
learn the culture. It’s impossible to learn Japanese without understanding the culture.
learn kanji by learning how its used and vocab. Here’s a post I made about that. It’s the same one above.
Change your phone into Japanese.
follow Japanese people’s accounts on social media, whether that’s here on Tumblr, Twitter or Instagram.
And lastly, Don’t lose yourself to discouragement. Keep going. I can’t tell you how good it felt to watch Jdrama completely in Japanese or read a whole adult novel in Japanese. I could see anyone getting there too. It takes time but it’s very possible.
Followers, feel free to recommend any resource in the notes:)

How to learn a language and its culture together
1 Learn typical recipes (maybe try to recreate them)
2 Watch movies (not only the genres and themes you prefer, but watch their classic movies that everyone there already watched)
3 Listen to music (same as 2)
4 Watch and read the news (follow the news on social media)
5 Watch people travelling around the country
6 Follow youtubers (the vloggers who visit buildings, who talk about festivals and holidays and do stuff at the town)
7 Read books (you can read in english and then re-read in the target language, it’ll make easier)
8 Follow random people on social media (in that way you’ll can see the everyday language, photos of some city, political stuff, etc)
9 Follow meme pages - memes aren’t spaceless and timeless, they talk about some subject the people from that culture are talking about
10 Talk to natives and ask them about their daily lives

How to Plan Your Day Realistically: The 1-3-5 Rule
Have you ever planned a to-do list for the day, only to feel frustrated at the end by how few tasks got accomplished? Chances are, you overestimated the amount of work you could get done in one day. Heck, we all have overestimated our capabilities at one point. Some days we wake up and feel on top of the world! On these days, I feel like I can do anything! However, realistically, there’s only so much time in the day, no matter how optimistic or productive we are feeling. Recently I learned a new strategy for planning a productive day. This strategy is called the “1-3-5″ rule. It’s so simple and easy you won’t believe you never thought of it!
Step 1: 1- The One stands for one big task. Obviously, big, medium and small are pretty subjective. So it may take some time to figure out what tasks fall into these categories.
Here are some examples of “big tasks” in my life: writing a rough draft of a paper, studying for an upcoming test, completing an online training module for my job, cleaning my room.
Step 2: 3- The three stands for three medium tasks. I define a medium task as things that take significant time, but not the majority of the day.
Examples of medium tasks in my life: laundry, dishes, reading assignments, shopping and meal prep.
Step 3- 5 The five stands for five small, easy to accomplish tasks.
Example of small tasks from my life include: answering a quick e-mail, scheduling an appointment, taking out the trash, planning for tomorrow/next week, and papers less than 3 pages in length.
Basically, the goal is never to expect to accomplish more than 9 tasks with this breakdown. If you are in an optimistic mood, or have a surplus of free time and want to try to do more than 9 tasks, you can, but be careful of burn out, and also of any other negative feelings that could result from setting unrealistic goals for yourself.
Skipping Lectures: How to ditch class and get good grades
Studitonious loves 8am lectures. Every day he cartwheels to class, radiant with the joy of acquiring new knowledge. Morning coffee? Ha! That’s for uncultured plebeians. He has no need for caffeine when he has his daily shot of morning eDUCATION!!!
Here’s the thing - Studitonious doesn’t exist. Or if he does, he needs to get some serious help. Yet, there seems to be a common misconception that a “perfect student” must emulate this model.
Getting up at the crack of dawn? Well, you don’t need to get up if you never go to sleep… #lifehacks. Oh, there’s a blizzard outside? No biggie, the cold never bothered me anyway. Everything is worth it because getting good grades is all. so. wonderful. Right?
Well, here’s a thought. What if you don’t have to attend all your lectures to get good grades? What if instead of forcing study habits that work against us, we develop flexible routines that work for us? What if we began studying smarter, not harder?
Let’s get one thing straight - not all lectures are created equal. There’s a big difference between ditching class to binge your latest Netflix obsession vs. ditching class because it’s counterproductive to your learning. Here are a few factors to consider:
Is attendance compulsory?
Does participation contribute to your grade? Do you have any in-lecture assessments?
If the answer is “yes”, then go to your lecture. The mark may only be worth 5%, but would you rather have 5% added or deducted from your grade?
Are your lectures recorded?
At my university, all lectures are automatically recorded due to Access & Inclusion policies but this isn’t the case across the board.
If there’s any lecture-exclusive content (i.e. content discussed in lectures but not in the slides, group activities etc.) and your lectures are not recorded it’s a good idea to attend.
Is the content actually helpful?
Does the lecture aid your learning in a way that other mediums (reading lecture slides/the textbook, attending tutorials/labs etc.) do not? For instance, if your lecturer just reads off the slides, you can save time by looking at them yourself.
Is your subject more “hands-on”? For courses that are more heavily based on solving problems, I often find doing the problems myself way more helpful than watching my lecturer solve them.
How dense is the content of each lecture? Sometimes, there is simply too much to absorb in the given time slot. E.g. I once had a flipped class that had a brief 1-hour intro lecture to a week’s worth of content. Since it just briefly skimmed over everything, it was more worthwhile to study the concepts in detail myself.
Do you actually pay attention to the lecture?
Are you actually awake? I once had a friend tell me he attended all his 8am lectures despite always falling asleep because he “just felt like he should”. Bro, sleep.
How engaging is the lecturer? Obviously, you shouldn’t skip a class just because the lecturer is “boring” but there is a certain point where the line is crossed. In first year, one of my professors took long pauses between every second word and spoke very s l o w l y. Needless to say, he was much easier to listen to at 2x speed.
Note: there is a significant difference between a bad lecturer and just being distracted. If it’s your meme addiction, not the quality of your lecturer that’s making you lose focus, turn off your phone.
Other factors to consider:
Do you have any other commitments (e.g. other courses, work etc.) at the same time? While it would be nice to try and re-arrange your schedule sometimes things just don’t work out.
Are you sick? If you’re feeling rough mentally or physically, you should consider taking a day off.
Ok, so you’ve decided that you’re better off not attending your lecture but what should you actually do instead? How do you deal with this newfound flexibility and freedom?
Develop a study routine (and stick with it)
The key to skipping class successfully is just doing consistent work. If your lecture is 2 hours long, pencil in a 2-hour study session.
It’s important to maintain a sense of regularity and routine. Treat your study sessions like a compulsory class - do them at the same time each week. It may even help to study at the intended lecture time.
The most common pitfall is to go “Oh it’s easy, I’ll just skip my lecture and do xyz instead”… but never do xyz.
Identify the lecture’s problems and provide solutions
Why exactly did you decide to skip your lecture? How are you going to make your independent study more effective? If you don’t do something more useful with this “free time”, you’re just wasting it. Be specific.
Here are a few examples:
Problem: Lecturer speaks too slowly. Solution: Watch the lecture recordings at a faster speed.
Problem: Lecturer just reads off the slides, providing no new content. Solution: Read the slides yourself, making your own notes and saving yourself time.
Problem: The lecture is too theoretical in comparison to the assessment scheme. Solution: Do more practice problems instead of just going over abstract concepts.
Find a study group
Having friends who take the same course can honestly make the experience so much better.
It can also help increase accountability. For instance, you would probably feel more guilty ditching a group vs. solo study session.
However, this can be a double-edged sword. Sometimes my “study sessions” with friends will just dissolve into us looking at memes for hours. Make sure you’re actually going to study!
Banter is great, but remember when to have fun, and when you need to focus and get shit done.
