Just an introvert trying to focus on her academic growth 🥕

✨Intro post✨

Hello! This is Tee and here are somethings about me:

  • I'm a studyblr who is trying her best to post regularly.
  • I'm a STEM student.
  • My favourite subject is physics.
  • In my studyblr journey, I am intending to grow not only academically but also as a person.
  • My aesthetics are chaotic and dark academia (but i also wanna be light academia and cottagecore lol)
  • I'll be tracking my posts with the tag- #honeyteas
  • My asks are always open~
  • Hope we become friends :))

Let's try our hardest to stay our happiest //><//

do you need a mental health day?

hi everyone it's your local bipolar studyblr here with some thoughts on what I consider when I'm thinking if I need a mental health day. this is sort of a long post, but I think it's important. disclaimer this may not apply to everyone but such is life

  1. when did you last take a day off? I'm talking nothing to work on, maybe some light reading, just resting your brain. if this was more than two weeks ago, you DEFINITELY should take a mental health day!
  2. are you getting stressed or anxious at the very idea of opening your work? if yes, maybe take at least a bit of a mental health day
  3. will it actively make you worse to not go to work/school today? will staying in bed only feed a harmful cycle? if so, maybe it isn't the day to take off. try to get yourself going and at least do something
  4. are you having consistent stress migraines? if so, time for a mental health day
  5. are you horribly anxious about the idea of going to school, work or whatever? this one is complicated. similar to number 3, will it do more harm to avoid the situation than face it? this one you need to face within yourself

An important caveat to this, is a rest day looks different for everyone. for me, sometimes it's nice to stay in a safe space like my room and get my work done. I try not to avoid the world too much, but sometimes I just need a break. ily all <3

i know I'm consistently stressed out, burnt out, and barely surviving but as much as it is a sort of hell I can't help but love science

it's a part of me and it will always be a part of me

I'll always be the little girl who asked too many questions and science will always be the thing that encouraged me to keep asking why

so sometimes I'll joke about being a literature major and i might do that yeah but i can't ever leave stem

It has a hold on me

I wanna know everything about the world we live in because it's gorgeous and terrifying and we know so very little

thanks for the tag @eggspress !!

Sunday Resets

Setting aside time for yourself is so important. I don't think people understand how vital it is to pay attention to your body and just take a day to let your body r-e-l-a-x. We're all so busy fighting to reach the top, that while climbing the corporate ladder, we lose ourselves somewhere along the way. Burnout, depression, and monotony come into play when we don't listen to our bodies telling us they need a break.

Once every two weeks or so, on a Sunday, I turn off all my notifications and have a day dedicated to me. Giving my body some TLC, resting and preparing for the next week. If I have plans on a Sunday, such as brunch or a meeting, I shift that day to Saturday, or at the very least, a day where I have at least 4-5 hours to spend leisurely.

Things I like to do on my Sunday resets:

  • Wake up early/sleep in: Depending on my mood, and how much sleep I've had during the week, I'll either be up at the crack of dawn or still in bed till it's nearly noon. There's no shame in staying in bed till 11:30 if you're particularly exhausted, but I recommend waking up at least before 11 AM because then you'll feel tired and groggy (of course, this doesn't apply to everyone)
  • Clean my room: I always make my bed without fail, and if my room is messy, then I'll clean it. Clean the vanity table, my desk, closet, art cupboard and bookshelf, and then the bathroom. If my mom needs help around the house, I do that too.
  • Food: I make myself a good breakfast, taking time to move around the kitchen and just breathe. I'm getting to eat good food, the sun is shining and I'm alive. It's great. Sometimes my dad cooks for the whole family and we just sit and eat together.
  • The Everything Shower: I take my Everything Shower on Sundays, where I wash my hair, deep condition, use a hair and face mask, exfoliate and do a face massage. I don't shave because I get my waxing done in a salon. I then slather myself in cocoa butter lotion and apply lip balm. Then do my hair routine (curly hair). It takes a few hours, but it's worth it.
  • The Next Week: I prep for the next week by cooking something I can take to my classes, like granola bars or homemade pita chips. I also sit down and plan my schedule (any dinners, meetings, parties, etc) and make a rough plan of my goals for the week, like assignments and deadlines.
  • Errands: I usually make a list of things I need to do during the week, like any specific separate groceries that I use, art supplies I'm low on, or needing to top up the air in my tyres. Then I go complete all of those in the afternoon.
  • Walks: In the evening, I take a walk around the block with a friend. I usually am too busy to do this during the week, so getting some fresh air is always a treat.
  • Relax: The rest of the evening is spent relaxing. I watch Netflix with my family, chat with my younger sister, read a novel/play the piano/write poetry. We have dinner together and then either watch a movie or just spend the time talking about our week, or the news. It's fun.
  • Double-check: Before I go to sleep, I make sure to double-check that my work is done, my bag is packed, clothes are folded and all my devices are charged. I'm in bed by 10:30 PM.

Remember that not all Sundays will be like this. Sometimes I'm extremely drained, so I'll sleep in, order food and just lay in bed recuperating. It's okay to take a rest day. This guide is if you want to be more productive, and it helps the week go smoother. Be the person who has their life in charge. You've got this.

It's cute and aesthetic.. I'm eagerly waiting for my sunflower buddy to blossom. 🌻Haha

(I'm not exactly a poster child for motivation, but I'm always up for receiving more - just don't expect me to actually do anything with it!!!)

As for the Spotify tag game, I'll get to it eventually - once I've finished perfecting the art of being a lazy procrastinator! Sry @violetsinsummer

Oh! I loved it. Thank you so much @malencholicnyx for tagging me. I NEED more quizzes like this. If you find pleaseee tag me.

Yup am a perfectionist which mostly leads to dropping things than do it not-so-perfectyl and yes i hate myself for doing that.
