Reading week (fall break) is over so it’s time to get back to work! Grateful for the break but it’s so hard to get back into the swing of things after being able to relax as much as I want haha.

Tried to work on a lab today but I was so confused 😩 it’s ok though because finally I faced my fears and asked for help! Started taking notes on a lecture, did some textbook reading, and attempted to destress myself after getting overwhelmed from the lab!

This week is full of assignments, projects and labs!

Yesterday (mon) I worked on a group project all day for a submission due today.

Today I worked on a lab for most of the day (report due Sat), on an assignment (due Fri), an on another lab report (due tomorrow 😬). Tomorrow I’m going to have to power through(!!!) the report due tomorrow because I still have most of it left 🙃

I’ve been putting together a study music playlist for a while now so I thought I’d share it! It has 300+ songs including video game and movie soundtracks, and classical music. I continue to add new songs as I find them! All lyric-free and hand-picked by me. ☺️

Enjoy and happy studying! 🥰
