Still struggling with keeping up with my motivation, but I try to stay positive!💖

I believe in myself as well as in all of you: we can do this! We can ace these exams! We can get this degree, even if it’s hard!✨

Sending lots of love~💕💗💖

Studying with a chaotic mind isn't really easy these days... I try to take things slow, redecorating my wall and writing stories every now and then✨

I also do workouts and started listening to podcasts recently!🥰

But still, studying can't be left out of my daily routine and I try to focus on University for at least an hour per day. Somehow everything works out, but me myself feels somehow lost. I hope that I will recover pretty soon, to finally feel better💖

mental health tips i wish i’d been given before starting university

trying is much more important than succeeding

10 minutes of studying > not studying at all

being a college student is more than academics. it’s also learning how to enjoy your own company, learning and occasionally screwing up meals, wandering outside campus like a tourist, questioning your ideals and presuppositions, discovering new talents and skills for the hell of it, and SO much more. if you feel burnt out in one dimension of college life, that’s a sign to spend some time relishing in another dimension.

if you need more time, take a deep breath and shoot that email to your professor/TA asking for an extension. at worst, they say no. and don’t stress over properly explaining yourself/your situation. hell, just email them: “Hi, Professor. I need your help. Sincerely, y/n.” all it takes is that one initial reach out and the rest will follow.

failure does not reflect character. read that again. remind yourself as often as you see fit because at one point or another, you will feel like you’ve failed. it’s growing pains. once you’ve accepted that, learn to view any setbacks as a hint that you need to try a new method/approach. didn’t do well on that math quiz? don’t beat yourself up over it–instead, regroup with yourself and see which metaphorical gear got stuck in your personal learning process machine. for instance, maybe you used flash cards and that wasn’t really your style. act like a detective, not a bully.

THERE IS NO NORMAL TIMELINE FOR YOUR COLLEGE CAREER(!!!!!!). a lot of people need more than 4 years, a lot of people need 4 years, and a lot of people need less than 4 years. and every single one of those timelines are valid. the worst thing you could do is squeeze the living hell out of yourself into some rigid schedule that is incompatible with who you are and how you learn. trust me when i say u will find yourself doing the best work when u do it at YOUR pace.

My statistics exam is in less than a week. I’m studying nonstop and just want to pass that exam es good and fast as I can. It makes me nervous and exhausted all the time🥺

Getting stuff done on a rainy day~ ✨📚

What are you up to today?😊

Tbh I’m currently thinking about starting a study youtube channel, but I’m still hesitated bc I’m scared of what other people will think about it. + I don’t know if I can post consistently on there, because making videos is a whole lot of work. I’m glad that I’m able to post on here somehow regularly😅

I’m really uncertain about what to do…😵‍💫

What do you think about this? Would you enjoy watching some kind of study vlogs? Or “study with me”?🥺

Another gloomy day of studying!

I´m sorry for being absent the last few days, but I have been struggling to study properly because of some massive headaches. 

Still: I managed do do some tasks everyday and it´s totally fine that I haven´t been as productive as I wish I had been. My health is more important than studying many hours per day. As long as I can still achieve my goals and keep up with my agenda, everything will be alright. I can still study enough to ace this exam!!

Stay positive and take care of your (mental) health!

Every time I look at my keyboard, I suddenly get a lot of motivation to study!✨ I’m glad I bought this keyboard!!🥰💖

Another day, another study session!✨ D-6 until the last exam of the year!!

Sometimes life is difficult to handle. Sometimes your thoughts are overwhelming your mind and you aren’t able to focus on anything.

That’s why I recently started a diary! I hope it will be helpful✨

Do you have any tips on clearing your mind?

what app are you using to freehand write on your ipad with a stylo/pen, if you don’t mind me asking? thanks so much in advance!

Mainly using Goodnotes 5 + apple pencil first gen. for everything! 💖 I love this app because it offers a lot of options. + I think the investment of those 10 or 11$ is totally worth it✨💗 I’ve been using it for 2 years now and they still make huge updates which make it even easier to take handwritten notes!
