15.04.21// Sunny Day Walks And Sunny Day Study Sessions ☕️ We’re So Close To The End Of This Term!

1.8.21

Last semester I'd always forget(procrastinate until I forget) to take my quizes and remember it a few hours after it's due. Now I'm glad that I did not forget to take it this time today. Apart from that, 44 degrees and maths don't make a great combo, tested by me.

how to avoid education burnout

have 3 achievable goals a day: having a laundry list of things to do everyday is super unrealistic, and you just end up feeling bad about yourself because you didn’t accomplish your goals for the day.

leave your sundays open: i love sundays because they’re my day to chill out and catch up on school work that i wasn’t able to finish during the week.

recognize when you’re at your emotional limits: forcing yourself to get work done when you are unable to comprehend your study material does not benefit anyone.

learn how to say no: people will ask you for your time and it will stretch you to the limit, whether it be at your job, in your extracurriculars, or in your personal life. know when to step back and say no.

take care of yourself physically: take breaks, go for walks, shower regularly, get enough sleep, eat healthy, see your friends

celebrate your accomplishments: go out to eat with friends after a big exam, indulge in a night off after a busy week with some netflix and wine

make a study plan beforehand: it can be daunting to see how much work you need to put in to a class or task beforehand, but this allows you to spread your work evenly so you don’t become overwhelmed.

learn how to ask for help: it is very rare that people make it through school, whether it be high school or university or any graduate program, without needing the advice of others or just a kind soul to vent to. find that person.

never forget your hobbies: you will need things that keep you sane. if you love to play music, write, play volleyball, or cook, make you sure you don’t lose these things. they will become your escape when times get tough.

log off from time to time: it is exhausting to be constantly connected to social media and your email. just physically disconnecting from these for a night to take care of yourself can really help you clear your mind.

June is here!!!!!

And one of my exams is also here because, reasons 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Here you have my personal tips to learn English (could work with your target language too) in a more effective way. Some of them may be too obvious:

Watch series and movies in English with English subtitles until you're prepared enough to understand almost everything without them. You will acquire many grammar structures without consciously learning them.

Focus on fluency rather than on accuracy.

Follow English-speakers on your social media.

Read in English things that genuinely interest you so that the learning gets more meaningful.

Avoid memorising words without context.

Don't rely on translations too much, try to guess the meaning from the context. Think in English.

Read the lyrics while listening to an English song.

Quizlet is a great app to make flashcards and study vocabulary. However, instead of creating them with translations, do it with definitions and pictures.

Change your phone language to English.

When you're learning new vocabulary or structures, write down examples related to your life.

Write a diary in English.

And maybe the most important one: don't be afraid to talk, to communicate, to make mistakes. Don't worry about your accent. Forget about what other people may think about you. Keep trying and keep improving.

Today's studying area ☕️

I got a s**t tone of work done in a 6h studying session and got also a quick 1h workout afterwards! I'm so happy as that's a lot for a Monday 🔥

quarantine day 32, classes are still suspended, tons of readings before class resume, a lot of water for hydration, caffeine to keep awake

A mood

Learning languages is fun because I love being able to embarrass myself internationally

📜 revisiting a developmental psych essay to apply some feedback i recently received. today has been so busy, but i’ve been more mindful of each task and reminding myself how important it is to take it slow (no matter how overwhelming the to-do list is to begin with). i’ve realized that a lot of my work-related anxiety comes down to feeling like i’m racing against the clock. so once those worries start creeping up, i take a second to breathe deep and get a sip of water. it’s been changing the course of my days in the most positive of ways. i hope you are all having a safe wednesday!

To all my gals on studybrl.

Remember this is not a race!

You can start late, you can fail, you can start all over again!

I doesn’t make you less of a person. We all fail, we all start somewhere, the important thing here is being patient with yourself and consistent and overall be happy with what you’re doing!

Don’t be afraid of learning and taking care of your mental health at the same time!!

Please y’all, take care and be proud of who you are today and everything y’all did today, keep on the good job guys.
