01/11/16 Day 6/100~ These are some pictures from the past few days. I didn't post for the past couple days cause I had a crazy time getting home and spending time with everyone, I just couldn't remember to post. However I'm not skipping any days and I'm just gunna pick up where I left of with my 100 days of productivity.

27/09/16 Day 4/100~ So this is the sad reality of what my desk looks like when I'm stressed. Today wasn't the best day and tomorrow is my hell-day for classes so prep and studying are killing me, but hey. I get to see my cat this weekend so that's nice.

26/09/16 Day 3/100~ Some pictures of my work from the day. Been working on rewriting my archaeology notes from last week that were soooo long and disorganized, and then planned out some of my studying for my Latin quiz on Wednesday. Can you tell what colour I was feeling today? La vie en rose❤️

25/09/16 Day 2/100~ Spent the majority of my day in bed studying Latin (which I’m fairly bad at at this point, not gunna lie) but I figured I shouldn’t just do Latin so I’m now starting to re write some of my archaeology notes in the hopes that some pretty notes will motivate me to keep going.

24/09/16 Day 1/100 days of productivity~ This is my first post of the school year and of my university career, so I thought it only natural to start the 100 days of productivity challenge again. I've been unsuccessful in the past but hopefully it will go well this time. This weekend I have a lot of tasks to get done, but I'm gunna prioritize and try to get shit done without stressing too much.

Orientation week just wasn’t for me

So this is my first real post as a new studyblr, and I figured I should use it to rant about my week, because this week was really big for me, and it didn’t exactly go as planned. I moved into university about 2 hours from my home town, and it has been a huge change for me. I expected to have a fun time at the orientation week, make some friends, and end up super excited for classes at the end of it. For the most part this week was okay. The first few days I was upset and homesick and really missing my boyfriend, but after a couple days I started to get used to campus, I personalized my dorm, and it started to feel a little more like home. I’m going to a university that is so well known for its orientation week, which extends a full seven days full of activities, presentations, and useful stuff for university life. For the most part the week was okay, but being the introvert that I am I didn’t exactly enjoy the constant exposure to people and things I didn't know and wasn’t exactly comfortable with. Luckily I had my best friend, who is exactly the same, in the sense that whenever I’d get sick of the activities, she would leave with me and we would go back to the dorm and watch Netflix in our tiny little home. It seems that at my university, they encourage making friends a lot, which does make a lot of sense, but no one really talked about how it’s totally okay to go back to your dorm and chill out if you need down time. They encouraged a fast paced, insane schedule, and for some people that’s perfect, but for me at least, that really wasn’t fun. I spent the first few days participating in everything in the hopes that as the week went on it would become easier to participate, and I felt like it was expected of me to participate in everything. But then there was one speaker who talked in length about finding what makes you happy and going for it. He was saying it in the context of extracurriculars and classes and things like that, but I decided to apply it to the week in general and not participate in everything. Don’t get me wrong, I still talked to people in my groups, participated in at least one or two things a day, and had a great time, but whenever I realized it wasn’t making me happy to play outside and do all of these activities, I would go home. So, getting to my point, I imagine I’m not the only one in this position, and I want other people to know that though it’s great to make friends, have fun, and participate in things as much as you can, you shouldn’t feel guilty for not going. If you’d prefer to just hang out in your room sometimes, skip the parties and craziness, that is more than okay. Everyone has fun in different ways, and that’s good. I personally like socializing for a little while, participating in big activities, and then going home to catch up on Scandal when I’m done.

I don’t really know if anyone will enjoy posts like this, but I imagine they will happen every once in a while because who doesn’t like to vent about things. Starting Monday I’m back in classes, and starting as a freshman in University, so my posts will be more study related, and I hope you guys like them :)
