21.09.19 - I have been discussing with myself whether to tell you even though it’s not officially confirmed but I feel like it’s good to talk about the times when it gets hard. Two days ago I got the information that it looks like I am not being accepted into grad school/masters program. A degree I need, for me to become a teacher. The reason I say ‘’not officially confirmed’’ is because the University system where you can see the state of your application says that all the requirements are ticked off as valid and since we need a Master of Education, us students were promised we would definitely get a spot. I cried a little bit and now I’m trying to figure out whether there is a mistake in the system, whether they worded it wrongly and my application is still in the process of being considered or whether I made a mistake somewhere. I’m trying to stay positive and not to sabotage the last research paper due in 10 days but this worries me a lot and I’m just hoping it will all turn out fine. Take care, everyone 💕

10. September 19 // Today I received my bachelor thesis/dissertation grade and I got an A-! I was terrified, to be honest. I like to preach about how grades do not matter as long as you do your best but I’m still struggling with internalizing that myself. I put a lot of pressure on myself on doing perfectly in academia and because my environment is used to me being a very good student, it also expects a lot from me so I automatically feel a lot more pressured to uphold those expectations. I worked really hard on this thesis and I’ve been functioning on auto-pilot since May but I’m finally (almost) done. I have one research paper to submit and then I’m done with my bachelor studies. I have a lot of goals for the coming months but one that is very dear to me is to really internalize what I preach to my students and to my friends: Your grades do not define you and your best is always enough. Cheer up everyone and thank you for being my community since High School!

‪My 13-year-old self who only ever studied because she wanted to go to University and become a teacher is really moved right now 😭‬

30 August 19 // 🌸everybody! I’m trying to survive here and I thought I’d update you on my situation. I submitted 3 of 4 papers and I noticed that I’m able to write them a lot faster. I’ve written so many research papers throughout my degree, I actually got the hang of it. The fourth paper is going to be a lot more challenging but I survived so many horrendous assignments and exams the past 3 years I know I can survive this one as well. Furthermore, I get my bachelor thesis grade in September so please send me some good vibes I worked so hard on it. I still haven’t heard back from my master program (grad school) application so let’s hope that happens soon. Have you Americans gone back to school? And you Britons got your A-level results? Whatever it is, I’m proud of you and I believe in you!

My notes can’t compare to your beautifully handwritten notes I always see on here but I thought this mindmap was particularly pretty? At least for my standards😁 

How do I use Mindmaps?: I use them for revision. I normally would have had already notes for that particularly chapter before I create a mindmap. It helps me to stay focus while studying because I actually have to keep my brain occupied, otherwise I’d just stare out of my window. It also helps me to structure the most important topics and how to connect them with each other so I have a good understanding of the overall topic of a chapter. 

+bonus points: it gives me the illusion of being productive 

Topic: Deliberative Democracy

Reminder : Not all of us are straight A+ students . You're still a valid and valuable studblr if you're a B student or 'average'.
