Happy Sunday 😊! I'm super excited to make the best of this 3-day weekend! ~ qotd: what's your favourite song right now? I've been mostly listening to bgm playlists, but like 10 minutes ago my brother sent me Tightrope by Zayn and it's a mood. The Urdu lyrics are a vibe (his accent however is arguable). ~ I'm just trying to stay on top of my work and really understand as much as I can instead of coasting! It's almost over for me, so I'm pretty motivated! Stay focused guys. 🥰 ~ I was using flipd in the past, but I hated the time choices on the free version, I moved to forest like yesterday and with that there's more options and I can keep myself accountable by including it in my posts. To be fair on this week's, it is only showing yesterday. 😅 ~ tags:  #studygrammers  #paperless  #digitalnotes #ipadnotes #instastudy #studyaccount #studyday #studylife  #studyinghard  #studycommunity #studygramcommunity #studyblr #studyblrcommunity #studyfromhome #academic #studytip #deskinspiration #studyspiration #studyinspiration #academia #studywithme #notes #studynotes #studygram #bujo #bulletjournal https://www.instagram.com/p/CKKArM1BqDj/?igshid=11zwox8r7nxdq

#qotd do you like taking digital notes or handwritten ones? a: I honestly like taking both, but I like the advantages that come with digital ones, mainly portability and impermanence 😄. ~ My classes are ending for the semester very soon and I am very anxious 😰. There’s a good amount of work that still needs to be done, and I know I can do it, but just knowing it’s there is worrisome.

what was the last book you read? and did you enjoy it? i finished a physical book (permanent record by mary h. k. choi) before flying back home and gave it a 4/5 stars! then i finished an ebook (aflame by penelope douglas) shortly after and gave it a 5/5 stars! i love new adult books with characters who overcome their demons and help each other grow🧡 (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OF7ZPnA3F/?igshid=1kayx1acc1lg5

I'm enjoying being more active on my platforms lately. I feel like I've finally gotten into the groove of things. I guess I have an easier time keeping up with my insta than here, but tumblr just had this different vibe where I feel like I can chat a little more freely.I wanna join the community here too.

College apps are ending soon, which is both great, yet also more nerve wracking! I already have one acceptance, but it's a backup school I knew I'd get. Sometimes I feel like the college I get into means everything yet nothing at the same time... I get really existential sometimes 😅.

Insta is really curated so I hope to post here more for just life overall!!

invest your time on things worth investing time on!

Had my notes due today and I procrastinated a bit, but it wasn’t too many pages and I only ended up taking two pages. I finally get to attend one of my classes in person tomorrow and I’m super excited! Being active here again has taken the edge off a little bit, I feel less alone in all of this work. Let me know how you guys are faring in these very trying times! I feel like I’ll be able to post more often if I embrace the fact that this is how I actually work, it’s mostly simple and sometimes a mess, and usually never that aesthetic but, I guess it works. It feels like with online school it’s all about completing assignments rather than studying.

Haven’t posted in a long time! Here’s a little something recent!

I recently lucky enough to get an iPad which came in pretty clutch since, all of a sudden all school is online. I still enjoy taking pretty notes though, when I have the time. I try to make the most of he freedom I have from being digital, I import pretty pages to write on and can use any color I like. My favourite part is that now I don't have to worry about any mistakes and that's been really nice.

Being on fully online classes has really started to get to me. I don't know now much longer I will be able to motivate myself to get any work done instead of just lying there. It isn't that Idon't enjoy my classes it's simply because zoom can't be oa par with the classroom. Thankfully, one of my classes is college dual creat so I will finally be able to go in and actually be in the environment.

I've already decided the topic for my end-of-degree project and I'm really excited about it because the professor in charge is my favourite one ✌🏻 But before starting it I need to keep on studying other subjects!

What could you do on a self-care day?

  • Go on a date with yourself! I really don't understand why people don't promote this more but seriously, go and buy your favorite sweets, go shopping, eat your favorite cake etc. This is a time to be with yourself and do what you enjoy.
  • Go for a walk in a park or near some lake. Walking in the city is nice but in a park or somewhere similar you have peace and quiet. In the city you're always stressed not to step on someone's shoes, not to bother anyone and so on. Enjoy some peace and quiet time with you, you know?
  • Eat your favorite foods! Or experiment with new things. I think discovering new things is nice but usually you can be stressed if you try to talk to new people and not everyone can travel so experimenting with new foods is nice. Just go into a supermarket and try vanilla soy milk, some rice cookies, some off brand thing etc.
  • Get lost or travel somewhere new! Not everyone has money to go to a new city but what about walking on a street you never walked before? Or enter a new store?
  • Watch movies or series or anime~ self-care can be about staying at home as well. Find something to watch, new, old, boring, entertaining etc. Whatever makes you feel nice and relaxed.
  • Face masks~ really, it's so relaxing to just take time and care for your skin sometimes. You'll have smooth skin at the end~
  • Motivation time!!! I think self-care is about relaxing but also about recharging your batteries. Sometimes you run out of motivation and taking some time to rekindle that desire is what you need. Watch stuff regarding your goal, write in your journal, look at pictures on Pinterest etc. Anything works.
  • Write in a journal~ I find this to be one of the most useful things usually. It's like a quick therapy session and writing out what you feel helps you feel better and find solutions!
  • Do whatever you want without feeling guilty. A self-care day is to enjoy your time with yourself so do whatever you see fit. ❤️

Okay tbh I have come to the conclusion that the productivity challenge is not compatible with my brain. This is okay! Anyway I’ve spent the whole day avoiding a bunch of work that’s due tomorrow so it looks like it’s going to be a long night haha

"One of the most prevalent obstacles in our ability to heal and self-actualise is when our productivity is tied to our worthiness."

I think the studyblr community especially needs to hear this. You don't have to be productive all the time, you need rest. Recovering from internalised capitalism means unpicking all the messages from family, friends, school and workplace that have reinforced the idea that you are a commodity, and that your worth is based on what you do. Your worth is inherent.
