romanticize studying 📖🪽

• create a cozy study environment for yourself, no specific type of aesthetic setting but whatever makes you feel comfortable and motivated. It could be your room full of candles, a cute cafe, a garden, whatever works for you the best.

• find a playlist that motivates you and clears your mind during your study session: a vampire studying in a castle during 1800s, an animal crossing study call, a window view with rain, the lofi girl, etc.

• take the time to be proud of yourself. You studied today, even if it's less than what you scheduled, you should be happy about it, you prioritized your dreams and did your best, celebrate it.

• live what you are studying. In my opinion/experience reducing studying to a daily activity like another kills motivation. It shouldn't be something that you do, it should be something that you live and breathe.

• create a vision board of what your dream life should look like, how magical everything will be once you achive your goals. Having a clear vision is important to remember that you're not sacrificing your free time, you're investing it.

• find a study buddy. I never succeeded in this unfortunately but I'm aware of how much it can help to stay on track and feel less anxious. I see my brother studying on video call with his friends all the time, they go to the lectures together, to the library, discuss exams, give each other tips, exchange notes and find strength and motivation in one another.

• try as much as you can to see it as a beautiful game that you will ache. Keep in mind that studying is a privilege, it can be exhausting and make you feel burn out sometimes because of the school system but it is not a burden. You are seeking knowledge, you are doing something amazing, don't forget it. 🤍
