I found a purple berry while I was in the forest so I peeled a bit of the skin off and put it on the camera and it was kinda pretty

Omg I've been gone so long

But I've been productive I swear

And struggling with a bombardment of quizzes and problem sets

But everything's FINE 🙃

September 11, 2018 | Day ?????

This past weekend/start of the week has been super overwhelming for me. I started work again and had a pretty bad depressive episode over the weekend and didnt get any schoolwork done. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things but its is hard to care when I'm having trouble even caring about myself. Sorry to have kind of a downer post but in reality this is what I'm going through and I think some of you will relate. I told myself to get at least one thing on my (very long) to-do list done tonight. I'm making progress.

September 3, 2018 | Day 14/100 Today was not super productive because either spent the long 3 day weekend at my moms :/ but I got a cool new picture for above my desk, and I organized and rearranged my desk so that it looks "minimalist" instead of empty 😂 overall I'm pretty happy with how it looks. (And yes it's a fake plant because I kill all plants even succulents despite my best efforts)

you don’t need fancy supplies to learn. you don’t need to drink coffee to be more productive. you don’t need a macbook to improve your studies.

it’s ok to not have all those things because your results are not reflexions of material things

Friday, August 31, 2018 | Day 11 Spent my Friday in class and studying during my break. It was a beautiful day!! Sunny and 75, I had a chance to relax outside and truly appreciate the beauty of my campus.

August 30, 2018 | Day 10 Officially 10% done with 100 days of productivity! Today I finished a chapter of notes and 9 out 10 problems for my problem set. I've been pretty stressed lately even though its only the second week 😪 The productivity challenge IS helping me stay on top of things though. My pic is a little less "aesthetic" today because I wanted to show a different side of my studying. It's not usually pretty or nice, most of the time it's really stressful for me. Making it pleasing to look at relaxes me a little and motivates me to work harder. Do you guys have any tips or tricks to not getting so overwhelmed during the school year?

little study tip from ur local tired and trying student

i had to study and write essays at night A LOT and came up with a little tip you might want to try: candles. I light a candle when i start studying and blow it when im done.

Cons:

- its fire. next to paper. pay attention

Pros:

- you feel less alone

- smells good

- when you need to focus you can look at it instead of ur phone (really helps)

- makes you feel like some old time Scholar studying at the light of a candle

- can help mesuring time. for example: i used small candles that are supposed to last 4hrs when writing an essay that i was supposed to write in max. 4hrs during finals

- if u hear some noise in ur apartment u can take it with you like some gothic novel protagonist

- when ur done it smells like a birthday party and really, finishing writing an essay at 2AM feels like something u should celebrate

thanks for coming to my ted talk and good luck fellow students
