once you stop fantasizing about that ideal version of yourself and start working towards becoming that person by setting your alarm clock earlier and actually going to the gym and actually volunteering at places and actually eating healthier and not procrastinating and working just a little bit harder you’ll realize that it was so easy all along. becoming your ideal self will only ever exist in your mind until you make the decision to work towards becoming that person. get up!! get going!! it’s now or never!! there is no light at the end of the tunnel!! get that flashlight and pave your own path bitch bc no one else is going to do it for u!!

New study space and I am in love. Hardwood table! So much space! So much natural light! What more could a girl ask for?

After days of researching I finally settled on an essay topic, now I just have to write 2000+ words about it.

the feeling of getting ahead, of knowing that you will reach your goal, and that it will be worth it. you’re working so hard. think of all you’ve accomplished, you’ve come so far - don’t give up now. there’s a future version of yourself who is so thankful you kept going.

Walking out of an exam confidently knowing that you just made it your bitch is truly one of the best feelings in the world.

Quick Reminder

Yes, studying and career aspirations are SO important. But, you know what else is important? Your health. This is just a quick reminder to try to not to be too overwhelmed with studying stress and hit the gym, do some stretches, meditate or even just take a deep breath and fix your posture.

Take care of yourselves. Love you!

Coffee and study sessions until 11pm have been the vibe for this entire week. I'm pushing myself everyday and trying to be self disciplined because nobody is going to hold your hand in life and congratulate you for every little thing. You have to be the one to acknowledge these little achievements and believe in yourself!

Always keep in mind a healthy work-life balance, make plans to see your friends and set time aside to have fun but always keep track of your goals and when it comes time to work, don't hold back!

How to Get Shit Done When You're Behind In School

1. Breathe and drink some water

2. Plan. Write down everything you need to do and make it as specific as possible.

3. Assign those tasks realistically based on what you can get done in a day or in a set time frame

4. Pack your bag with food, water, headphones,etc. Everything you're going to need for the hours you plan on studying.

5. Go to that one place you know you're going to be productive. Whether it's the library, coffee shop, your basement, wherever you know that distractions are not an option.

6. Work hard but take a break when you're feeling distracted. Everyone's different so find the balance between study session and break that works best for you.

7. Use these breaks to do some stretches, text a friend, fix your makeup or check your Instagram only if you know you can get back to work when it's time to grind.

8. Repeat until everything you said you'd do is done. Nobody is going to tell you to do the hard work, and nobody is going to teach you to be disciplined. This has to come from within. So study like your world depends on it because you're always one desicion away from changing the course of your life. Deciding to study today may be that one decision. You got this!

Jan 21/2019

I started my morning by making myself a bowl of oatmeal with rasberries and peanut butter, and got in some textbook reading. This textbook is hella chunky so I have to spend a lot of time reading and analyzing the text. But it pays off when you get to answer in class. I had a great class, and it got me motivated to do really well this semester. Then, I got Chipotle with a friend and made plans to go to the gym this year so we can be real healthy for 2019.

I was also in a good mood because today is my best friend's birthday! I'm going to finish up some tasks I have then treat myself to a diy foot mask, do my nails and maybe even a lip scrub.

Put in hard work when it's needed and take a minute to relax and rest when it's also needed. Life is about finding a balance. It's important to give it your best ideas and work for an assignment but when that's over, don't forget to give yourself some self care.

Good night everyone. Xoxo

“Go to university, but go for the right reasons. Education isn’t a gun held to your head: it’s a weapon in your hands. Go not because you’re afraid of not getting a job but go because you love to learn, because you’re excited by ideas, because you believe that education is important for its own sake, and when you get there, pay attention, read everything you can get your hands on, cram yourself with words and figures and ideas, because that’s the one thing they can never take away from you.”

hey ladies we back with the studyblr! so i am currently a second year accounting student & tomorrow is the start of the second semester. honestly, new year new me am i right. so imo what i did last year for the later half was a good note taking system for me. i’m going to transfer that to this sem and see if itll work. basically i write notes before hand, print out the power points & write on it during class, then type up my notes after class. this morning was p productive. i organized all of my supplies, made my schedule for the entire semester, and updated my calendar w all the important dates. i really want today to be kind of a chill day before the storm tomorrow. i’ve been getting rlly into jake gyllenhaal movies for some reason (i’ve been meaning to marathon his movies for a while now) & so i watched like i think around 10 of his movies this week, and ive got southpaw planned today. 

anyway, heres to a successful semester!
