Hey guys! So I’m really sorry but I’ll be ending the 100 days of productivity challenge! I’ve been struggling to keep up with it and it adds unnecessary stress that isn’t productive at all. 😅

I will however remain posting other study motivation photos! Don’t think my blog will die because I’m ending the challenge ☺️

Hope you enjoy the next photos I post and feel free to send any asks!! ☺️✨🌿☕️

HAPPY NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY!

(For yesterday but still)

This time a year and one day ago, I came out as openly bi and I’m so glad I did

There have been people who were rude, ignorant and 100% homophobic but it’s been absolutely worth it. My friends have been amazingly supportive and it allowed me to be completely myself.

To anyone still in the closet: it is so scary to come out no matter how accepting the people around you are... please know that no matter what, you are completely valid, whether you plan to come out, plan to stay closeted, are trans/gay/lesbian/bi/pan/queer/poly/ace/aro, use neo pronouns or binary ones. You are great 💕

16.06.2020 Drowsy hot day today, felt too contented to study so instead I prepared delicious food for a solitary picnic tomorrow, there is so much beauty in days living for oneself, even the chocolate came wrapped in poetry.

Take care of yourselves! Please stay safe 💕✨

y’all, i feel like i need to remind y’all that there’s a huge difference between ignoring what’s going on, and taking a mental break because you’re exhausted with trying to keep up with the situation in the country right now. this shit is no joke and is weighing incredibly heavy on people such as myself and if you need to take a break from this and just log out, please do. please take care of yourself and don’t feel bad that you’re not keeping up with things at every second of the day.

We looked at each other and just laughed; everything was hysterically funny, even the playground slide was smiling at us, and at some point, deep in the night, when we were swinging on the jungle gym and showers of sparks were flying out of our mouths, I had the epiphany that laughter was light, and light was laughter, and that this was the secret of the universe.

9/17/21

My new keyboard came today 🥺 الحمد لله I’m so excited to use this and perfect timing because I’ve got like 1 assignment and 2 discussion boards I need to do before midnight and I just got home it’s already 7 :’) oh well it’s so cute, it’ll motivate me!

Top tips to survive studying while quarantined:

Clean up your space: With all that is currently going on, it is very easy to get overwhelmed and anxious. Keeping that in mind, seeing a cluttered workspace (or livingspace) will only add to that overwhelming feeling. When it feels like all things are out of control it is crucial to focus on things that you CAN control. By keeping your workspace clean you are more likely to feel more productive and motivated to get down to business.

Take more breaks: Like we talked about above, with stress and anxiety running at an all time high lately, it is important to remember to be kind to ourselves. No matter the length of our to-do list, if we are unable to bring ourselves to be in a more relaxed and calm state, there is no way that any studying can get done. With that in mind, it’s important to allow yourself to take more breaks than you normally would. This gives your mind a chance to relax and regroup before trying to start absorbing information again. This is also extremely important if you are in the same boat as I am meaning you’re back at home living with four other people and the noise levels make it impossible to remain focused for long periods of time. 

Try to set up a study spot: This DOES NOT mean study in bed. I repeat: do NOT try and study in bed!!! In all seriousness, this pandemic has uprooted all of our lives and routines as we know it. This is why it is crucial to find and designate a specific space in your house or room where you commit to study each and every day. Like I said before, it is important to focus on the small things that we CAN control in our lives in order to feel a sense of normalcy.  

Reward yourself: treat. yo’. self. It’s important! Even if you don’t get through all the things you were hoping you would, reward yourself for reaching those small milestones. Life right now is stressful enough as it is therefore we need to be kinder to ourselves and be more supportive of our small wins!

Set realistic goals and be flexible: Working and studying from home has brought along many many challenges. The biggest challenge for me personally has been all the distractions I face at home. I live with four other people at the moment and therefore there is never a dull (or quiet) moment. While I used to go to Starbucks to sit for a couple hours and study or get work done, that option is no longer available. When I really needed silence (AKA exam weekends) I would go to my university’s library where it would be absolutely silent and I could sit for hours in a calm clean space with little to no distractions. For now, things are much different than we all would hope. That is why it is important to set realistic goals on what you want to achieve for the day. It is okay to feel like you can only cover one lecture today when normally you might be able to go over three (under different circumstances). It also helps to be more flexible with when you study. If you find that it’s more quiet at your home at night or very early in the morning while everyone is asleep then make those adjustments. Think of this flexibility as a huge advantage to being at home!

Know that it is OK not to feel as productive as you usually are and be KIND to yourself 💕

Feel free to reblog and add some tips of your own! Follow my page, PharmaStudyblr for more and check out my Etsy where I list the helpful printables that I’ve made to help me stay organized while in both undergrad and pharmacy school!

i just want to warn young studyblr users to be wary of adults messaging them, especially adult men. i know that this is a very supportive space and often, more experienced students want to give us guidance and advice. but as a community made up largely of teenage girls, we need to be aware that we’re vulnerable.

if you’re a minor and a strange adult tries to befriend you on this site, i’d encourage you to block them. if you’re not sure of their age, please ask right away, and don’t be afraid to directly ask about their intentions. we need to be aware that grooming over social media is a real problem.

i’d be really grateful if people could reblog this.
