Relatives call me lazy for preferring reading over manual labour. Leading academics compliment me on my knowledge and wit.
It took me years to give the latter more significance.
Okay this is seriously awesome and very accurate.😅

// Do / 18.10.2018 //
On some days, I am painfully aware of what people imagine my studies look like, even though in fact I am working on highly-academic research most of the time. Yesterday, we had to depict “the perfect teacher” … nice change if you’re usually concerned with literary analyses or history of genocides.
Today, I’m about to finish a paper (yaaay!), but also got a painful reminder that I should have already been done with the next one. The answer to my problems: coffee and inspirational quotes. Go, me! –H💜

"You have an entire life." ... I always forget about that one and try cramming everything I have planned in before I have kids.

Day 5 (Do, 11.10.18): Spent my day at home, resting and cooling my right hand. Took a 1h-walk in the nearby park and read a little in Neil A. Fiore's book The Now Habit. Also read some mangas and watched motivational YouTube videos. Couldn't get anything done for university because of my hand.
In a sense we become addicted to using procrastination as [...] temporary relief from stress [...] and the anxiety associated with certain tasks.
Neil A. Fiore, The Now Habit
People keep asking me why I travel so much when I can barely afford it, even though I should start saving up for a house...
I feel at home in the world, not just in my village, county or country. Not leaving my country for a bit feels like keeping to only one room in my apartment.
I can't understand why people would want to only stay in one "room" if they could have the world. If travelling means I will never be able to afford a house, so be it. My world will feel bigger, despite living in an apartment. -- (study-ophile)
6 Things People Don't Always Tell You About Studying
1. you ace tests by overlearning. you should know your notes/flashcards/definitions basically by heart. if someone asks you about a topic when you’re away from class or your notes and you can answer them in a thorough and and accurate answer, then you’re good, you know the material.
2. if you don’t understand something, it will end up on the test. so just don’t disregard and hope that this specific topic won’t be on the test. give it more attention, help, and practice. find a packet of problems on that one concept and don’t stop until you finish it and know it the best.
3. sometimes you just need that Parental Push. you know in elementary school, they would tell you “ok now it’s time for you to do your homework! you have a project coming up, start looking for a topic now!” ONE of your teachers might be like this. be thankful for it and follow their advice! these teachers are the best at always keeping you on track with their calendar. if not a teacher, then have one of your friends be that person that can keep you accountable for the things you promised you would do.
4. you just need to kick your own ass. seriously. i know it sucks and its hard to study for two things at once. BUT. I DONT CARE IF IT’S HARD. you need to do it and at least do it to get it over with because you can’t keep putting things off. If you do, you will eventually run out of time and you will hate yourself. force yourself to do it. i made myself sign up for june ACT even though there’s finals because if i didn’t, i probably never would. like do i think i’m gonna be ready in one month? probably not, SO I BETTER GET ON IT AND START STUDYING!
5. do homework even if it doesn’t count. if you actually try on it, then you will actually do so much better on the tests, it’s like magic.
6. literally just get so angry about procrastinating that you make yourself start that assignment. I know how hard it is to kick the procrastination habit. I have to procrastinate. So I make myself start by thinking about my deadlines way early. I think, “oh i have a presentation in three weeks (but it really takes 2 weeks to do), i’ll be good and start today.” when that doesn’t happen, you say you’ll do it tomorrow, and this happens for like the next four days. I get so mad at myself for not starting when i am given a new chance to do so with every passing day. By that time, you actually have exactly how much time you need for it AND you were able to procrastinate the same way you usually do ;)
