[studybeshy]

Hello people! Your beshy’s back again with another guide for those students who will face new year with a new semester :) 

FIX YOUR BODY CLOCK.

Create and stick to a routine. Set a time when you are supposed to go to bed /wake up and follow this everyday. Keep in mind that it is recommended for you to sleep for at least 8 hours (if possible). This might be the hardest thing to do, but it can totally help you in the long run. 

KNOW THE COURSES / SUBJECTS YOU WILL BE TAKING.

Start researching about them so that by the time you attend your first class, you already know what to expect. Stay interested even though your university forces you to take these/that subject (just like in our uni where we just follow the curriculum and students aren’t allowed to take subjects they personally prefer). 

FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH YOUR CLASS SCHEDULE.

Start organizing your class schedule. Print them out, keep one on your desk, paste it on your planner/ bujo, set it as your mobile or desktop wallpaper... whatever you like! 

READ IN ADVANCE.

No further explanations. Advance reading for your courses is the 🔑!

SET GOALS.

Do you want to be a Dean’s Lister? Make new friends? Nail all exams and quizzes? and etc. Right it down! Have a list of clear and measurable goals to work toward. 

GATHER YOUR SUPPLIES.

We all know that feeling we get from buying cute school supplies / stationeries right? Even if it’s just for the purpose of #aesthetic to some, it all makes us want to study! 

UPDATE YOUR PLANNER. 

Take note of the important dates and write it down on your planner. I swear, having a planner is really a great investment for school/college! 

START A BULLET JOURNAL.

If you’re not the planner-type of a person and wants everything personalized. 

FIND MOTIVATIONS. 

Another difficult thing to do, but you can actually find it everywhere (so as the famous quote says). The studyblr community is one. We are a community that is willing to help one another! From uplifting advice to amazing resources, we got you covered! I just love this community so much! And lastly, the greatest source of motivation is none other than yourself! You are amazing! You are capable of doing great things! You’ve been through a lot and I believe that you got this, too!

r e s o l u t i o n s

(for myself and for anyone who else who relates)

1. DO NOT LOSE THE DRIVE, THE MOTIVATION AND THE FOCUS.

Bad days will always come. They are inevitable and they need to be accepted. But they will not last forever. You need to get yourself together and come back as a better and stronger you. Allow yourself to fall but allow yourself to get back up as well.

2. SLEEP WHEN YOU HAVE THE CHANCE

Sleep is vital and important and frankly, very rare these days. When blessed with a homework-free, test-free night please please please sleep early. Don’t waste your time on the internet or doing an equally unproductive activity and end up staying late.

3. LISTEN IN CLASS

Resist the urge to throw a brick at that teacher you hate or that know-it-all classmate or your annoying seatmate. Try to listen and understand the lesson at least a little bit before resorting to doodling on your notebook or cutting up random pieces of paper or the like. Do not let your hatred (for several factors hahhahahah) or how boring and uninteresting the subject is to get in the way of your learning.

4. DO HOMEWORK

It increases your productivity and gives you something useful to do at home rather than scrolling endlessly on Twitter. Try to do homework and avoid doing it the day it needs to be passed or sometimes in the very subject it needs to be passed. It helps you understand the lesson better an thus gives you a chance to get better at the lesson and the subject as a whole. It gives you an opportunity to improve. 

5. COPE WITH STRESS

Stress is normal. Many people are able to cope with their stress efficiently but others don’t and they end up depressed and inefficient and stuck. Don’t let that happen to you. Deal with what you are feeling and let those emotions out. Find a way to relieve the stress efficiently, don’t let it get to you. [Tip: cry it out and go eat ice cream. Crying is good for the soul and ice cream isn’t good for your body, but it helps. Venting helps as well, go find an outlet and let it all out.]

6. DO AWAY WITH DISTRACTIONS

A.k.a. The Internet. And possibly, boys. They both take up too much of your time and hinders your progress and productivity. Use the internet, but with limitations and restrictions. That probably applies with boys too, but do your best to do away with them as well because, frankly, you’ll be meeting a lot of boys in the future, when you’re very much stable and successful. Plus, high school boys and relationships are like, 80% temporary except for a few exceptions. 

7. ALLOW YOURSELF TO DO THINGS

Do not bully, strain, or depress yourself. You know the things that you have done and you know if you deserve something or not. So don’t ever tell yourself that what you did was not enough. It is not wrong to want to treat or reward yourself once in a while for your effort and hard work (unless you haven’t been putting in effort and hard work). If you know you’ve been staying up late lately understanding that Calculus lesson but still didn’t successfully understand the entirety of it, do not burn yourself out and study some more. You tried. You gave it your best. Go buy yourself ice cream or milk tea, okay. Go back to studying afterwards.

8. SAVE!!

Put aside some of your money for your future (hahhahahahha sounds so serious but really). Do not go wasting your allowance on irrelevant things or using up too much of it on food because 1) You will get fat. And you won’t be able to fit into the clothes you like anymore. And that will depress you. 2) You will get even fatter because Christmas is coming. Saving is good because when you feel the need to buy that totally random, irrelevant, but oddly satisfying and fulfilling thing, you have money for it. 

9. DO NOT LOSE SIGHT OF YOUR GOALS

Remember, and always keep in mind the reasons why you’re here in this hell hole (school), why you’re struggling, why you started to do this in the first place, why you should continue, why you want this so badly, and why all of this matters to you. Think of all the things that keep you going and use that. Never lose sight of your goals and why it’s important to you.

I know it’s weird to stop at number 9 but that’s all I have HAHHAHAHAHA.

Quote reminder:

“Successful students do not leave it to chance to achieve what they have. Instead, they are aware of their strengths and weaknesses, and work on them to fully maximize their potential and strengths and minimize their weaknesses and inabilities.”

Hi new semester. Here's the loser again.

I'm not really seriously devastated that we're starting over again but.. I just feel nothing. I'm happy. I'm really happy. I get another chance to pull up my GPA that I blew off last semester! Yay! But it's just.. it's not getting in me. Like i'm not really happy ''happy". It's like it's just there. Sitting beside me. But it's not tapping me or.. or maybe I just don't want to really look at it's eyes. Maybe I just feel tired. Two straight sems my hard work stuffs were just wasted and I feel like it's no purpose to move again. But I still have my goals. They're the last thing I want to lose. I feel like if I lose them, I'll be empty. I was walking through enrollment like a lost dust. And I'm looking for my cabinet. Ugh, I'm getting more stupid. I mean, look at my metaphors! Ugh. Or maybe this is just flat affect. Like for months I'm having this because I'm so melodramatic about things that I had that when I lost them, I just felt empty. This is so, so, so not me. I usually feel things. I usually hate my haircut. I usually write everyday. I usually get butterflies when my only freaking crush talks to me, either in person or on facebook. But no, I could've asked him that because he's already graduating, I'd like him to leave me a good book for me to remember him as my only serious crush.. but no, I didn't. I had all the chances, but I didn't. God! I'm even denying this little crush to my friends! Even to my roomie. I never deny crushes! That's like a fish denying the knowledge of swimming! And then there's this super storm that's getting through but I don't really feel stuff. And I feel so guilty of faking some of my reactions these days. It's not that I'm intentionally doing them. It's just that I'm empty. My heart are sending beats to the ocean but its not rippling back. And I can't tell anyone that.. That I don't have any feeling, that I'm empty, that I'm not freaking okay!

Because seriously, I'm confused. And I can't afford to affect things around me. I can't afford to affect people more furtherly just because of this silly feeling.

I should be freaking happy now because this is the last semester of P.E. but.. ugh. Shit. I don't even know how to freak out anymore. There's more shitty past on me than that lush future I want. It's too much. I wanna cry but.. you know, I don't have a choice. I need to be okay. This is another chance and I don't want to waste it. But okay, for the least of it, maybe I just wanna say.. Hi new semester, here's the loser again!

95% of the teachers ACT FAKE when the principal enters in the classroom. -_-

Yesterday was fun except for the fact that my Tuesday classes last from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. with only one break at 1 p.m.. Harsh, I know but the lineup isn't really that bad.

It's a given that the sciencey subjects will end up a snooze fest + the fact that the lab lasts 3 hrs. But as I said, it isn't all that bad. For one, I'm still classmates with some of my block mates and I grouped up with my friends for biology lab. (Group name: the spinal column). The lecture class was duller than lab, but hey, this is the first meeting, it's supposed to be that way. The prof uses a lapel so the sleepy factor goes up five notches which is a major no-no seeing that this is a five unit course.

But enough of that cos that wasn't what made this day cool. It was my Hum classes. Surprise surprise I have the same prof for both, but she's actually nice and seems pretty cool which is awesome. And my new classmates are into the same things I am (hope I make friends hehe). I know I'm gonna end up loving this class cos we'll be reading. Getting graded for something you love isn't bad unless of course you end up with a failing grade. There'll be field trips as well, so yes I am loving my new semester.

Sem 3, Year 1.

Time flies by so fast. Tomorrow is the first day of my classes, marking the beginning of my 3rd Semester. Currently reading up on the first chapter of Industrial and Organizational Psychology before tomorrow comes. I hope to cover a chapter of Social Psychology by tonight as well.
