Workout for the mind 🏋️

Last exam remaining, but I am already acting like it's over xD

Studying in bed is me dozing off 60% of the time

Currently reading, A tale of two cities.

This pretty cafe I visited today😍 Finally got some time to read and relax😊

Things that keep me going😚

My favorite paragraph from my school English textbook, up on my wall ☘️

When mornings are like these, all I want is a book and coffee. All I have are upcoming finals and lots of unfinished work.

Taking the edge off

Just today I realised that swimming is a huge stress reliever for me. I had no idea that I was even stressed! It made me think about all the other stuff that I could do which might give me the same relief. This is what I came up with. 1. A nice nature walk 2. Hot cup of milk and a book 3. Running 4. Dancing (this one is kinda my favourite) 5. Taking a long shower/bath 6. Watching a comedy movie 7.Catching up on your favourite TV show 8. Writing 9. Photography 10.Working out There are so many other things that you can do. Singing! Or even sketching. Take your pick.

There is something about trigonometry that makes me wanna puke.xD

What my soft board looks like 😁

Busting those bad marks

Bad is of course a relative word here. Bad marks for you might actually be good marks for me!

So last semester i ended up with some okay marks, not my best moment. But this time I am going through some anxiety and trying to figure out what went wrong . This has not been an easy task. I did all that i could , at that time.

But, i have been wondering if “all that i can do” can be pushed beyond its limits. After all those “limits” were decided by me. So now, i am going all out. Pushing my boundaries to test myself. This time, this is my way of busting those bad marks. Whats yours?

Best study buddy ever.

Exam Tensions

My exams are starting from 18th (this Friday!) and I am tensed. I mean who wouldn’t be? I like to call them pre-exam jitters. But the most frustrating part about these exams is that they are gonna last a month! A full month. Although there is like a six days gap before phase 2. 

Apart from the umcoming exams, I am really excited for the upcoming semester. I have big plans. First, to start the semester off really well. Staying focused and top of my to do list. Not depending on my professors ( a grave mistake) and also catching up on my reading. 

Wish me luck!

Fallen Down

So i completely messed up two of my very important exams this semester, and now i am struggling. I had a very good score the last sem. I am just hoping that i can redeem myself.

Thinking about her.

The university library that has once offered me refuge and motivation, now closed and empty.

we made comparisons between joe exotic and trimalchio from petronius’s satyricon in my latin class today after my professor went off on a tangent about binging the show when he should have been grading our tests. and i never thought my netflix binging and niche interests would overlap like that

i just want to work in a small museum in italy where i translate latin manuscripts and talk to college kids about the ancient world before walking to my little apartment by the sea to drink tea and watch the sunset while chopin plays in the background. is that too much to ask?

music game~

rules: you can usually tell a lot about a person by the music they listen to! put your music library on shuffle and list the first 10 songs, then tag 10 people

(i am specifically putting my study playlists on shuffle, because my saved songs is too big)

deja vu - olivia rodrigo

song for five and six - owen pallett

solar motel - the flashbulb

MONTERO (call me by your name) but lil nas x is silent the entire time - lil nas x

echo in - vessels

pale watchers - darren korb

inside out - spoon

breezeblocks (alt-j remix) - ryan helsing, matthew saltz

beacon - amiina

awakening - submotion orchestra

black mambo - glass animals

01.15.21 / start-of-semester letters

coffee break || i learned how to make gifs from video in photoshop, so here’s my first go at it!

did my may habit trackers!! it’s been a while since i have made any, so i went extra ham on the design for these 😊 i’ve really been missing flowers!!

welcome to may!!

always one to kick things off with a great start— my laptop broke this morning :)

here’s to the may flowers that have been doing wonders for my mood 🌸

welcome to april! long time no see— i haven’t had the energy to work on my bujo for a while, if i’m being honest. i finally got a schedule of sorts together to give myself some structure, though, so my bujo is more important than ever!

looking to redo my desk, and interested in clear/acrylic storage. i’m also on a budget (as-cheap-as-possible-while-still-quality.) 

any suggestions for products/how to organize/thoughts on whether clear storage is a good idea?

4/100 - big exam tomorrow! wish me luck!! • 100 days of productivity
