i love languages sm ⁽⁠⁽⁠ଘ⁠(⁠ ⁠ˊ⁠ᵕ⁠ˋ⁠ ⁠)⁠ଓ⁠⁾⁠⁾

end sem szn is nearing and i need to start preparing so:

psych:

bio bases

test-yourself-flashcards for neurotransmitters & their functions and parts of the brain & the functions

start going through ppts, start with the topic you feel the most lost in (or figure some other strategy for this, if needed)

simultaneously go through the QB questions for the topics you do

and ofc, past-year papers

stats

start making compulsory cheat sheet

(timed) practice exercises

past-year papers

personality psych

go through ppts (of both profs, if needed)

go through given textbook(s) for more clarity

past-year papers

social psych

start making mind-maps of theories/topics to understand the topics, use given textbook(s) for this

start with the topics that weren't tested in the quiz

teach it to yourself through storytelling, don't rote memorise

past-year papers

design:

make final presentation

finish up prototype, add aesthetic details, sticky notes and other labels

prepare points you wish to emphasize on during jury

i have a social psych final in a day and im done revising one module....out of 12 modules.....

wish me luck y'all 😭

will prolly have few breakdowns in the morning

till then, good night y'all <3

UPDATE: the final went pretty okayyyy and i was able to revise all modules hehe

it's barely been a week since the new semester has started and there's SO MUCH work

meetings are endless and workload is piling up im trying to get ahead of tasks but staying motivated is difficult :/

also, happy new year to everyone (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

I spent today studying for my social psychology exam tomorrow. Very exhausted. Wish me luck!

some ‘energy takers’ to avoid in the new year:

overthinking, people pleasing and unclear boundaries - 2023 is our communication era

dehydration and constantly going without rest - get a glass of water and touch some grass

negativity - everyday may not be good, but there’s a little good in every day

a small personal anecdote (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

im not that religious but festivals like ganesh chaturthi are a nice little break from all the studying.

throughout my school time, i remember having semester exams during the festival which was soooo sad because i never let myself enjoy and was almost never mentally present at the celebrations :/

i love dhols sm, been wanting to play them for the longest time

happy ganesh chaturthi!
