This Is A Chart That My Chem Teacher gave To Everyone After Our First Exam. 

5.37pm || back at one of my all time favourite studying spaces, not a lot of people get the option to go to their parents office to study so i’m grateful for the forced productivity today, never underestimate the motivation you get when people around you are working hard too ☺️

Breaks.

So for the last week, I did nothing. In the beginning of the week, I had a cold and fever and I couldn't focus, so I rested. Later, as I got better, I started losing motivation because I just wanted to continue resting. I began to feel like I could catch up if I compromised on my study process. Only reading could do, I don't need to take notes, I will revise everything again. And I tried doing that, but it dosent work. So what did I do to get my motivation back? I talked to my sweet friends, who helped get back on track. I came to Tumblr to find so many others who were finding it hard like me. This is such a wonderful encouraging community, and I feel so happy to be a part of it. ♥️

being in love with the process and not the results is one of the healthiest things in the world

I finally finished my final exams and also took the results , this year was a difficult year for me and also my last year of school which means next year i will be in university inshallah.

080916 - It’s Week 5 now and I can’t believe that I’m already halfway into the first semester of my sophomore year. Taking a science module this semester for contrast in my timetable and it’s really dense!! But I’m glad I decided to start watching TED talks again because it’s so inspiring to see things you’re learning in class get talked about by professionals. It’s also great to be learning things outside of my curriculum!!! I’m so motivated but I’m worried that I’ll burn out as well so here’s to more doodles and studyblr shenanigans to keep me going :-)

Mapping out my goals for the year now that semester 1 is over! The best method for me is to be specific with what I want to achieve and work out every step to get there! I’ll upload the different coloured versions of each goal setting PDF to google drive if anyone else would like to use these! x

Studying in bed is me dozing off 60% of the time

hey high schoolers: your academic performance right now doesn’t have to be a predictor of your future success. just saying. 

i got Cs, Ds, and Fs in high school and dropped out. fast forward six years and i have an associate’s degree with honors, a 4.0 in a STEM major at an R1, i’ve worked in a lot of cool places, and i’m having the time of my life in my twenties. i still struggle, especially financially, but good things are happening that i couldn’t dream of when i was 16 and lonely in a world that would’ve seen me dead.

don’t let anyone tell you you’re going nowhere. you can do whatever you want.
