So, the last time I posted original content was almost 3 years ago. I was still in high school, suffering while loving the IB, with no idea about what major I wanted to pursue. 

A lot of things have changed in these past years, I recently switched majors, I´m reading a lot (something I hadn´t done since pre-IB times), I´m in a healthy and loving relationship, and I´ve grown immensely as a student and as a person. I love the studyblr community and now that I am finally studying a career that I genuinely enjoy, I hope I can start posting way more often, and talking about my passion for learning new things on here. 

I´m currently studying International Relations so I´d love to follow more history/politics/humanities/language studyblrs!

20% is better than 0%.

Brushing your teeth at least once every day is better than none at all.

A few hours of sleep is better than none.

A few minutes outside for fresh air is better than none.

Writing a few paragraphs of the essay today is better than procrastinating till later.

Doing something is better than nothing (of course there is exception for some cases).

Do things at a pace which makes you comfortable whilst allowing you to make progress.

You can do this!

Today is my last day of summer break, I can’t wait to start school tomorrow. Kind of nervous though because I’m finally a junior in high school now?

Be a good person but don’t waste time proving it.

i wish people would stop romanticizing not eating breakfast and not getting enough sleep and being dependent on coffee to function and always being in a bad mood and treating yourself poorly because that behavior is very unhealthy for you

[cottoncoast]

especially amongst students it seems to be a competition on who had the least amount of sleep or ate the least or didnt do their work. stop it!!! go to bed and eat breakfast!!!! seriously it isnt cute please be nice to yourself

Work in = results out 👊🏼👊🏼

Studying can be so challenging but we need to remember that it does pay off. We will be so proud of ourselves. The work you put in today is what you will thank yourself for in a few weeks / months / years.

Be brave today, be proud tomorrow.

I have been using google sheets to make a bujo for almost 2 months and I'm so obsessed. I think that a lot of people could like it for different reasons and they just never thought it could be a thing. If anyone is interested there are some post about it on reddit and maybe I could help too.

Oh, that is such a good idea! Honestly a digital version might be so much easier and accessible for a lot of people. Thank you for sharing this! Here are some example links:

Year calendars, monthly logs, weekly & daily

Example layout (dated 2017-18) - can save and edit yourself!

Another sample dated 2017
