I start working today!

I've had two glorious days to relax at my finals and now I'm off to work for the summer. ☺️ Obviously, I'll be updating here less because I'm not studying as much.

wish me luck! after this exam i have officially finished my first year at uni (although i still need to hand in a paper in mid-june but shush) i might write a post about what i've learnt in my first year once i get home :)

The Summer Studyblr Challenge

Now that summer is almost here and finals are nearly over, I’m taking a study break by writing up this post. So you know how over the summer, we tend to forget everything we learnt the year before? That’s the blissful part, but the scary part is when you go back to uni or school and you’ve completely forgotten how to study. So this is what I’m trying to achieve this summer. If you want to, join me in this challenge and we can motivate each other!

1. Read 5 books from reading list or for next semester. If you don’t have reading lists, then read something to do with your subject that might help you in your studies.

2. Go through last semester’s notes on subjects you will continue after summer. Obviously you can go through the others as well, if you’re that keen.

3. Write, be it a letter, a poem, a short story or a tumblr post.We all know that horrible feeling when you go back to school and somehow have forgotten how to put words on a page.

4. Plan next semester. Write a timetable, buy a planner, buy textbooks, just generally organize yourself in advance.

5. Go through the materials of last semester and decide what to keep and what to get rid of. I usually keep my summaries and important theoretical texts, but tend to get rid of the rest. You’ll run out of room soon enough if you want to keep everything. If you’re unsure about something, keep it for a few months -  if you haven’t looked at it by the end of summer, you probably never will.

Finally, remember to enjoy your summer. Once you finish school you’ll never get holidays this long again. Profit from the warm weather and spend a few months not worrying, so you can start again afresh and anew.

love, wordsandblacktea.

you know that feeling when you finish a test and you think you did okay, but then you think back a few days later and all you can think is 'oh no oh no oh no'
