Hello everyone!
It’s been a little while since I did a normal post. Since exams have been over I’ve been really enjoying just having a lovely little break and not having any studying to do!
However, it’s time I start getting ready for university (which is in less than two months 😳). So, I’m going to start giving updates on the little productive tasks I get done to help me learn how to adult a bit more than I do now.
Today, I fried an egg for breakfast. I know it doesn’t seem like an amazing achievement, but I don’t cook at all so it felt like a very big first step into learning how to actually look after myself independently. Plus, it tasted good!
How’s your summer going? The UK has just had a massive heatwave, it was FAR too warm. ☀️☺️
Good morning! ☺️
I’m back in college today as the half term is over. These are the papers I’m hoping to get done:
2017 Physics Paper 2
2018 Physics Paper 2
2017 Biology Paper 1
2018 Biology Paper 1
2019 Biology Paper 1
I’ve finished 2017 Bio Paper 1 and got an A* so I’m very happy.
Being back inside school is definitely helping me stay focused, and I really like that I can go and talk to my teachers whenever I need (I’m going to make use of that later today!).
Have a good day! 🌞
Hello!
Today I tidied up my room.
It was, I guess, a ‘superficial, tidy - cleaning surfaces, putting stuff in wardrobes, etc. I was really surprised by just how refreshed I felt afterwards. My room feels so much more open and calm!
I originally thought the task felt a bit daunting, so I put a long Minecraft video on for background noise and centred my focus on small sections of the room at a time. It made it a lot more manageable!
Have you got anything that you could tidy? Set aside a little time to put some things away that you’ve been meaning to for a while!
Have a lovely day! ☺️🍎
Good morning!
I’ve woken up early today. I find that waking up any time before 7 always means I have a more productive day. Whilst my days haven’t been too unproductive, they haven’t been as good as they can be, hopefully today this will finally be rectified as I feel quite good. 🤭
To Do List
2018 Physics Paper 2
2019 Physics Paper 2
2018 Biology Paper 1
2019 Biology Paper 1
2020 Biology Paper 1
Later today I’m spending some time with my friends which should be really lovely. 💕
Also, I’m planning on writing some tips on how to do well in Biology, Chemistry and Physics as I feel now I’m doing quite good at them. I hope that incoming posts are useful! 💌
Have a wonderful day! 🫶🏻🤗
Of course!! I would be nothing without my teddies ngl 🧸💛
My friend is embarrassed and thinks she’s the only one and I said id prove her wrong.
If I’m honest, I’m really struggling to find motivation. I don’t know why, I’m just not doing well. I’ve been feeling so distant and tired (if anyone maybe has an idea why please say). Today, I’m going to try to change that.
The quote above is really useful when I need motivation, as it reminds me starting and making any progress is still getting me to my goals.
Here is a list of things I would like to get done:
A-level Physics Specimen Paper 2
A-level Physics 2017 Paper 2
A-level Physics 2018 Paper 2
A-level Biology 2017 Paper 1
A-level Biology 2018 Paper 1
Obviously, this is quite a lot, but as long as I get ~3 done I’ll be happy.
I’m going to go get some breakfast, and I’ll update later on how I’m getting on. Wish me luck!
I mean it was just fine?
Yesterday I sat my second chemistry paper, and yeah it felt pretty good. Nowhere near like paper 1, but that’s been my best paper yet. So, I guess I’m happy!
Good luck to anyone else with A-levels!! We’re on the home stretch now! ☺️🪷
Ahh might have to try some of these! I’ve been so lost without exams to revise for lol, it’s been lovely to have a break though ☺️
How are you all doing? 💛🌱
Darkly academic research ideas for your time indoors (because you're not a heathen):
The lives of great classical composers.
Ancient Egypt's social hierarchy and attitudes towards women, homosexuality etc.
Poisons.
The tea trade, and how it became so important to British culture.
18th century fashion and the production of clothing.
How corsets aren't the terrible patriarchal torture devices everyone thinks they are.
The use of recreational drugs in the late 19th century.
The French revolution.
Methods of forensic investigation at crime scenes.
Controversy in psychological studies.
Matriarchal societies.
How nostalgia influences fashion, media, and literature.
The nature versus nurture argument.
The history of trains and railroads.
Symbolism in art.
Just a few research rabbit holes to throw yourself into if you're bored. :)
I’m so happy! That paper was so so SO lovely!! Honestly, that’s the best exam I’ve done so far, I never thought I’d say that!
Only one more to go, wow! Hope you’re all having a wonderful day! ☺️🌻
I have my very last physics exam today! I’m honestly quite excited to know that this is the end of me taking the subject. It’s been so interesting but draining at the same time, and I’m excited to prove myself one last time!
I was originally really scared of paper 3, but after yesterday I’m feeling oddly confident.
Good luck to anyone else taking exams! 😚🌺
I won’t lie, I didn’t enjoy the paper. In fact I got quite upset. So much stuff was on capacitors and other really weird questions. In hindsight it wasn’t as bad as I thought and I think I’ve actually done pretty well, so fingers crossed! 🤞🏻🫠
