Being able to go to the library between classes has honestly been one of my favorite things about returning to campus. I’ve missed the library so much, so I’m soaking up all the calm academic vibes

My Fall 2021 Notion Setup

This is currently the main pages that I have in my Notion at the moment, it will likely change as I continue to tweak things but this is what I have so far! I've been using Notion for quite a while now, maybe around 2 years at this point and so I think I've figured out a system that works well for me. I recently updated it though to give it more of a theme and so far I am absolutely in love with it. Let's jump into it!

The Meadow

First up is my homepage which I call The Meadow! I have pictures that I love as headers for all my most-used pages, such as this beautiful field that helps me feel at peace. My main task tracker is called my "master get-to-do list" and I've been using this system for a long time and it works well for me. Basically, I put in all my assignments and tasks for the quarter into this table at the beginning of the quarter when we get our syllabi and then schedule tasks for when I'll want to do them (adjusting the details and dates of them as the quarter goes by). Then, on my homepage I'll filter the tasks so only the ones set for that day show up, giving me an easy view of what I need to do that day. If y'all want more info about how I make it and how it works then definitely let me know and I can make a post about it!

The Library

Next up is The Library, which is my academic hub. I keep all my class pages in here as well as info for my extracurriculars. I also have some of my favorite study playlists embedded, plus a calendar view of my master get-to-do list mentioned previously. I like visualizing it in multiple ways, and this view is a bit better for planning things out longer-term in my opinion!

The Cottage

Then I have The Cottage, which is sort of a personal page that has all my mental and physical health pages within it. It's a bit random but it makes sense to me which is what matters!

The Art Shed

This page is where I keep all of my hobby information, such as tracking books I've read, keeping lists of recommendations, brainstorming social media post ideas, and keeping pages about whatever art projects I'm working on at the moment. I also have this book tracker that's linked to the one on my homepage to keep me reminded that I want to make an effort to read more frequently outside of school. I also track my books on GoodReads, so follow me on there if you're interested!

The Vault

As for the last page I'll be showing you today, this is where I keep all my important information, such as school admin info, expense tracker, etc. I also share a cleaning list with my roommates (similar format to my master get-to-do list previously mentioned) that I keep in here as well.

I'm a big fan of using Notion and I love how you can make systems and pages that work for you and your lifestyle. I highly recommend it (not sponsored haha) especially to students since you can sign up for free using a school email address. Let me know if you want me to go more in-depth about any of the pages mentioned today, I'd be happy to make follow-up posts!

My asks are open!

Hi everyone! As I’m gearing up for spring quarter and am trying to be more active on here again, I’d love to connect more with y’all!

So send me asks about anything, whether that’s just to say hi, ask any questions you have, ask for advice, give suggestions for posts you’d like to see, tell me what you’ve been working on, really anything!

What books have you been reading during your spring break? I want to get back into reading but am having a hard time feeling motivated...

I’ve honestly been mostly reading books that I read when I was a kid! I’ve completely forgotten the plots so I’m still able to enjoy them, but they’re quick and easy to get through which helps a lot to keep your reading momentum going. I’ve definitely gotten a lot of motivation to read again, so I’m starting to move on to books geared towards adults

Here are the books that I’ve finished over my week-long break:

Ella Enchanted

Classic Starts: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (a very condensed version of the original stories)

The Tale of Despereaux

And here are the books I’m currently reading: 

My friend has been trying to get me into a new series that’s pretty intimidating since the books are so long, but I’ve been slowly working on reading Mistborn: The Final Empire, though I am definitely nowhere near finishing it yet haha

I’ve also been listening to Emma as an audiobook

Next up I hope to read The Picture of Dorian Gray

Anyway, I’ve had a really fun time reading these and I’ve been tracking all my books on Goodreads, so go follow me on there if you’re interested!

hi !! what have you been up to over break?

Hi! I went home for break so I’ve been mostly spending time with my parents (who are both vaccinated, which is why I was able to travel to see them safely). I’ve also been getting back into reading, doing prep and planning for my spring classes, writing a bit, catching up on youtube videos that I had missed over the past few weeks as school got really busy, and listening to a bunch of podcasts! It’s been really nice and relaxing, but I’m honestly looking forward to getting back into routine with classes!
