IN THE HEIGHTS (2021) | dir. Jon M. Chu

Loop of Thoughts

Waiting.

For something I've wished for. For something great once in a while. For something to prove that I was good enough.

But am I? Good enough?

I don't know.

Chances are, I am, I am not.

Yet I hope, I was enough.

Enough to fill in their blanks. Enough to rewrite their games. Enough to win their hearts.

Hoping.

They said, don't hope too much, you'll hurt yourself.

I see they were wrong. But I see they were right.

Because who are they to tell other people not to hope?

But also why do we hope so much?

One out of thousands, they said. You are one out of thousands.

If it's your luck, you'll get it. If it's meant for you, you'll savor it.

If it isn't..

I wouldn't dare finish it.

But why am I in denial?

Because I am hopeful of something I wanted so badly.

But am I good enough for it?

I don't know.

Chances are, I am, I am not.

Yet I hope, I was enough.

Stop …

1. Hanging out with people who don’t appreciate you.

2. Running from your problems and hiding from the truth

3. Acting as a door mat and putting yourself last.

4. Longing for the past and the way things used to be.

5. Beating yourself up for the stupid things you did

6. Rejecting new relationships because you have been hurt.

7. Holding onto grudges that only drag you down.

8. Trying to be perfect – as that’s just a waste of time.

some things i’ve learned while studying in quarantine

drink more water instead of more coffee.

weekly goals are bullshit. set yourself 3-day goals. you’ll be less laid-back.

don’t just mindlessly stare at words. before you start studying, know your approach to it. have a plan.

summarizing the concept in your own words is the key part of taking notes. don’t just copy things down, convert them into your own way of talking, your own vocabulary, no matter how dumb and unprofessional it sounds.

don’t let the “studyblr aesthetic” fool you. studying doesn’t have to be pretty. summaries and notes can be messy as long as they’re comprehensible. you can always rewrite and reorganize them later. (honestly, you better do. and you better keep them.)

don’t throw away the papers you’ve solved your problems in. staple them to the fucking textbook. you need to see them constantly. cause you’ll need reminders of how far you’ve came, when you’re feeling discouraged.

don’t be an armchair analyst for your issues. if you have an idea then act on it.

remember: the exact point where it becomes difficult, is where your growth begins. take a deep breath, and try to focus on the paragraph in front of you.

get off your high horse and understand that if you’re a zero, you won’t go to 100 in a couple of days. first, you’ll need to reach 30, then from 30 to 60, and then from 60 to 90. nobody is 100 everyday. that happens very rarely.

you need to have fun everyday. you need to have peaceful time every single day. even on exam night. especially on exam night, actually. so make sure you’ve studied enough so you can have some time to yourself.

once you’re on a roll and in need of some challenge to stay on track, start writing down your studying hours. tell yourself you’re not allowed to do less than 80% of what you did yesterday. whatever the hell it was, even just one hour. so if yesterday you really studied for like, say 8 hours, today your goal is to study for at least 6 and a half hours. if you can’t keep up with that, make it 70%, or 60%. 

be forgiving of yourself. be kind to yourself. even if you bounced back and lost your streak. start again. as slowly as you did before. take your time. it’s okay, you were there once you can get there again.
