Hey Guys!

Head empty, just enjoying my free time with a painting by numbers✨️

mental health tips i wish i’d been given before starting university

trying is much more important than succeeding

10 minutes of studying > not studying at all

being a college student is more than academics. it’s also learning how to enjoy your own company, learning and occasionally screwing up meals, wandering outside campus like a tourist, questioning your ideals and presuppositions, discovering new talents and skills for the hell of it, and SO much more. if you feel burnt out in one dimension of college life, that’s a sign to spend some time relishing in another dimension.

if you need more time, take a deep breath and shoot that email to your professor/TA asking for an extension. at worst, they say no. and don’t stress over properly explaining yourself/your situation. hell, just email them: “Hi, Professor. I need your help. Sincerely, y/n.” all it takes is that one initial reach out and the rest will follow.

failure does not reflect character. read that again. remind yourself as often as you see fit because at one point or another, you will feel like you’ve failed. it’s growing pains. once you’ve accepted that, learn to view any setbacks as a hint that you need to try a new method/approach. didn’t do well on that math quiz? don’t beat yourself up over it–instead, regroup with yourself and see which metaphorical gear got stuck in your personal learning process machine. for instance, maybe you used flash cards and that wasn’t really your style. act like a detective, not a bully.

THERE IS NO NORMAL TIMELINE FOR YOUR COLLEGE CAREER(!!!!!!). a lot of people need more than 4 years, a lot of people need 4 years, and a lot of people need less than 4 years. and every single one of those timelines are valid. the worst thing you could do is squeeze the living hell out of yourself into some rigid schedule that is incompatible with who you are and how you learn. trust me when i say u will find yourself doing the best work when u do it at YOUR pace.

Day 10/60 - Slow progress is still progress!

I’ve been working on my first social psychology book for 10 days now and I finally managed to read through all chapters! It’s really hard for me to focus, stay motivated and productive atm, but I’m working on it! I’m taking breaks to play chill games like Animal Crossing or Stardew valley and do my studying in silence (which is very unusual for me😅)

I think I’m feeling a little bit burned out, but that’s ok. I will take everything a little bit slower✨

I believe in myself, I can do this!💖

Have you ever dealt with burn-out?😵‍💫

"BOOKTUBE NEWBIE TAG !! ✨✨"

I'm back with a new one!!

I need someone to just… call me and make sure I do my work later because goddamn it’s so stressful.

I hate finals so much. It doesn’t help much that I was an idiot with poor time management skills and decided that I had all the time in the world to get things done when in reality, I certainly didn’t.

I’m suffering.

Did I just realise that winter depression hit me like a truck? Hell yes.

Am I going to do anything about it? Hell yes!😎

I'm aware of my mental health status and I'm going to make many little steps to achieve my goals anyway!💖 Life isn't easy sometimes and that's okay! Just don't give up and try your best in every situation✨

Sitting by the fireplace and learning a new language… There is nothing better than that!💖

I have to admit, since I started learning Spanish a few days ago, I’m even more motivated to do my university assignments✨

Follow me on Duolingo and let’s expand our horizons together!!🥳🌅

The past few months were really exhausting, but I am slowly getting back to studying regularly after taking a much needed break✨️

Pre-exam mood swings are kicking in again🤦🏼‍♀️📈📉📈

I went through everything and on the one side I'm pretty sure I can do it and ace this exam, on the other side I'm not sure how I'm going to remember all this information tomorrow...

Aaah, it's a vicious circle!😩

Hey :) ich liebe deine Tastatur!!! Wo hast du die gefunden? Hast du vielleicht noch einen Link? Das wäre super lieb :)))
