100 days challenge: Update

From a gpa of 2.5 to 3.5

I am finally done with my fourth semester and I can’t thank Allah enough.

I started this challenge in March, when it was the beginning of my fourth semester. I didn’t plan to keep track of how productive I was each day and I actually ended up uninstalling tumblr so that I could save time by cutting social media time.

There were days when I would not achieve a single task and there were days when I pushed myself hard to do more. Overall, throughtout the semester, I always had it at the back of my head that I needed to do more this time.

Everytime I would almost doze off in class, I reminded myself that I needed to be more attentive

Everytime time the urge to procrastinate would emerge, I would force myself to study atleast a little for the quiz next day

Everytime I wanted to just hangout with my friends and waste all my time, I would push myself to go study in the library and finish the assignment before deadline

The result of all this?

Last semester I had scored zeros in 80 percent of my quizzes whereas this time I scored an 80 percent in all my quizzes.

Last semester, I had barely made it to the average score in mid exams wheres this time I performed better than average in all subjects.

Last semester, I was so stressed during my finals and barely covered all syllabus whereas this time, I only had to simply revise 70 percent of the syllabus because I had prepared it all beforehand

Last semester, I almost went crazy because of the stress and was worried if I would even pass ( I barely passed my subjects) whereas this time, I was saved from all the worrying and tension and I was confident that I would pass with atleast and average gpa.

Last semster, my gpa was around 2.5 whereas this time, I scored a 3.5! Alhamdulillah.

The point is, it’s not impossible to improve, it’s not impossible to change your score or yourself. All you need to so is take a few steps further. Just focus on improvement and you will, without doubt, improve. You can do this.

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.

This was the number one most important lesson that I learnt from my first year at university. I spent my first year stressing so much about my grades and gpa that I completely stopped doing everything else. I stopped baking, going out and making plans with friends, I couldn't pay attention to my quran classes and skipped so many of them all because I wanted to study properly.

But guess what? I still didn't get a good grade. And this made me realise that I was doing all things the wrong way. My problem wasn't the lack of determination or because I wasn't smart enough or because I wasn't giving it enough time. My problem was my lack of focus, procrastinating so much of my work because I wanted things to be done the perfect way (even though I would be studying but I still wouldn't be studying and just stress out on how much stuff I had to do) and mismanagement of time (studying too much without actually learning anything, with an unfocused brain aka being unproductive)

My problem was in the way I was dealing with things.

So this year, now that I have realised my shortcomings, I want to concentrate on being productive and manage my time more efficiently. I want to overcome my inner perfectionist that makes me procrastinate so many of my tasks and develop a better and longer focus. In Sha Allah(if Allah Wills)

(P.s: I know how messy my study table is but idk how it becomes messy? Atleast I am studying lol)
