I. ABOUT

Hello! My name is Blu, I'm 16—turning 17. You might know me from studytwt months ago. I stopped posting and migrated here! I'm a grade 12 senior-year student in the Philippines taking the HUMSS strand for future Psychology. I occasionally post my studies, and channel my inner food blogger in the time of need. (Everyday)

II. PLANS & GOALS

I plan to pass all my subjects with ease. With a new school this year, I would also love to be welcomed by my classmates. As any student would, my goal is to graduate with honors (maybe high honors too) and with other awards I may get.

III. STATUS & MORE INFO

Active status: On and Off

Currently Watching: N/A

Current Reads: N/A

Playing: Minecraft (add me! luvistrd)

I am a Virgo sun, Aries moon, and rising Libra! I like to procrastinate till I fear sleeping and wake up with anxiety– kidding! (not really) I like to watch K-drama, anime, and I like to read books, novels, manga, and manhwa/manhua. Although I haven't read nor watched that much, I would appreciate recommendations from you!

I'm not trying to be photogenic or have an aesthetic setup; as long as I can be realistic within my studies and through you and study as much as I can, I'm fine.

P.S!! I took the first and third photos!

📍Location: Lucky Chinatown. Binondo, Manila.

I'm not sure why, but this week has been the hardest of all. But I guess truth be told, August hasn't been kind to me or to my classmates. When one group was presenting, we had a crying session because we all knew August was hard for us. Next week is our Preliminary exams. Honestly, I'm just waiting for this month to end.

I took the UPCAT (University of the Philippines College exam Test) yesterday for the afternoon session. It drained the life out of me but it was a nice experience (not really). It was something tho.

I'm god damn tired from commuting but school has been fun? The teachers are so accommodating and so open minded along with my classmates. Tomorrow is Buwan ng Wika celebration and we'll be having a potluck! Maybe I'll post something tomorrow. 🫶

Studying in the rain is somehow therapeutic. As I write my notes, I'm also watching Lihn's vlog to give me clarity and so that I wouldn't be left alone with my thoughts 🫥 It has been a productive weekend! After this, I'll do my homework now.

study tips for when it is late at night

i am one of the first people to tell you to go to sleep- I myself prefer to be a 7:30 pm bedtime kinda guy, but sometimes I need more time to study, so here are some tips to have a less painful late night study sesh:

lights on at full brightness- as much as I love watching the sunset through my window and lighting my desk via a dim yellow lamp and candles, the sunset + low yellow light is screaming at your brain that it is bedtime, so keep as many lights on as you can

have a super cold drink- i'm talking 95% ice. I love warm drinks, but when I start getting really tired because it's late, it only makes me sleepier, so ice water/iced tea will be your friend

have a very clear to-do list. when it's late and you want to sleep, your brain gets floaty and you might drift onto topics/things you don't need to be doing, so make sure you have a good list

get rid of any distractions- your goal right now is to get your shit done and go to bed- if you spend half an hour scrolling through tumblr, that's half an hour later you now need to stay up to finish.

NO CAFFINE please do future you a favor; you won't be able to sleep and (at least for me) you can start getting really anxious

the intense study urge to stay up all night to study but the smart urge to sleep because it’s good for retention

Studying when EXAUSTED

This is for those times when you really desperately want to be productive and get things done but you can't focus and you just want to sleep but you didn't do anything today so you feel shitty.

if you can, please just go to sleep (I do get that sometimes you feel so shitty about how little work you got done that you can't sleep, but if you can, please do it and approach tomorrow with a fresh start)

plan out what tomorrow is going to look like. I will break it down by task, for example: 6:00 wake up, 6:05 work out 6:15 shower, 6:30 make tea, 6:40 start work, 7:30 break etc. This will 1) help you feel better about not getting anything done 2) can help you be more productive tomorrow.

if you have things to do that are easy/low brain power, do them. These are things like printing out work, scanning stuff, tidying your kitchen. getting these little things out of the way can make a HUGE difference later

if you can, just read over your material. Don't even try to understand, just read it. Tomorrow when you come back to try and actually learn it, you will already be a little familiar and it can speed things up for you

eat something, drink something, and see if it makes you feel better- many times when i'm "unable" to go on, I eat a meal and drink a glass or two of water and magically I feel great again

try doing a workout- sometimes it just makes the exhaustion worse, but if you need to stay up later (shoutout to my fellow 6:30 pm bedtime pals) it can stretch time a little bit, and sometimes wakes up your brain. It's also good for you and can make your sleep go better

DONT DRINK COFFEE. or tea. no caffeine. you are already tired, it's not going to fix anything, its just going to make you jittery and sad. it's also going to upset your sleep schedule and make the tired worse for tomorrow.

lastly- just go to bed. pushing through true exhaustion is not going to help you or anyone else. anything you try and learn is going to float right out of your head, and it can lead to burnout which will make everything worse. Please just sleep

Studying in this light bulb is not advisable lmao. But last night, I didn't get much study because I was too tired to continue TwT hopefully I can finish my Gen-Math notes later. But I'll take it easy since it's friday! I already have 3 assignments, I'm damn tired. 😭

Edit: I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT OUR UNIFORM IS SUPPOSED TO BE ORANGE. THANK GOD MA'AM SAID IT'S OKAY FOR WHITE. 😭

it's not an exam , it's just another challenge

and you've already done and passed so many of those , so what's this but another challenge to conquer ?

Started studying in advance! Right now, I'm studying Chapter 1 of Personal Development! I think I'll stop there and just wait for our discussions so I'll know what to study.

The first day of school was really nerve-racking. I was literally lost trying to look for signs of my classmates T T I was literally like a lost chick finding the mother.

Earlier, we had our class orientation. My adviser is kind and even gave us candy and that chips delight! I haven't eaten it. Maybe once I've started studying. Introducing yourself was hard for me. My anxiety kicked in in the middle of me talking and my voice started to shake. :(

I wanna get better at talking to people and gaining more confidence. I just felt like I was there. It made me miss my old school. But it's still the start of the year. I don't need to be hard on myself.
