ʚ🧸ɞ welcome to my study rkive! ʚ🧸ɞ

✧˖°. hi guys, im saturn (she/they, 23) ✧˖°.

im a library science masters student and wanted to make a studyblr to hold myself accountable! i think this would also be pretty cool to look back on like a digital diary/archive, so hopefully it'll be some motivation for us both!

📓my 40 days of productivity (4/13-5/22)📓

i'm starting this challenge because i really want to end this semester strong. it took a lot of adjusting in the first half for me to get into study mode, and after a bit of spring break reflection, these are the goals i came up with!

goals:

academic:

▫️skim all readings for classes (skimming>skipping)

▫️participate at least once per class

▫️finish books for research project by 4/30 [3/3]

▫️mandatory no work saturdays!

personal:

▫️increase weekly fruit intake

▫️daily phone screen time capped at 5hrs

▫️schedule drs appointment

▫️finish first knit project

(may add more as time goes on)

[shymagnolia]

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

[shymagnolia]

okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post

[flagellant]

…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment

likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post

[coffee-or-hot-cocoa]

i need all the help i can get for finals

[finnglas]

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

[avhira]

I could use some luck

[studyrkive]

i beg.... pls....

april 22+23 • day 11/40

ramble: do any of you guys feel like you're not working hard enough? its like i know i could be working harder and commit more to my work but i'm just doing the base level of work right now. its not like i'm slacking, i just know how it feels when i'm fully locked in and i'm not there currently😵‍💫 the past 2 days have been decent productivity wise, but the feeling still lingers.

completed to do list (today & yester.)

✅ dentist appointment

✅ read 2 chapters of a book for a project

✅ planned upcoming assignments for reference service class

✅ thurs. class got cancelled so i swapped the time id spend on reading before class with working on an essay at my local library

✅ worksheet assignment
