why every semester is there always one class that makes my mental health plummet 😭 when is it my turn to be happy

lazy sunday afternoon

come avoid the sunday scaries with me :)

hey i'm gonna work on an assignment, if you wanted to join?

terms so busy I listen to ambient sounds and lo-fi more than I listen to music for fun :,))

It drives me fucking bananas as someone with a learning disability when someone says “just study harder.” Like I’m not already doing everything I possibly can to stay afloat. I’m already on the verge of mental collapse, if I do any more I’ll fall apart. I’m not capable of studying any harder, Karen!

it doesn't matter if you've:

never editted your WIP

never enjoyed it thoroughly

never felt satisfied enough

if you're nothing but pleased

if all you do is edit

if you never write anymore

if you've abandoned, ripped up, shredded, or spit on the very pages you held dearly—

your WIP is amazing and nothing will ever make you any less of an author.

writeblr introduction

☼ my name is avery and my blog runs two themes at once! witch themes/writing themes.

☼ if you haven't made the connection already, i'm an aspiring author and an inspiring witch!

☼ i just recently got back into writing after a two year hiatus, unfortunately stemming from a spiral in depression. i've realized that writing makes me feel better :)

☼ even better news, i've started my very first novel! i plan on attempting to get it published in early 2022, but that's a long-term goal.

☼ i love writing in my grimoire the most! something about being able to create not only memories, but test out my artist skills as well makes me feel alive!

☼ i hope to become a positive member in this community and i love making new friends! feel free to message me, especially if you want an opinion on your writing! i love reading!

☼ my favorite author right now is andrea cremer! she actually inspired this novel!

1am, i'm reading 'hiperculturalidade', and it's so good. probably, i'll be finishing it on thursday or friday.

also, i read today 'blue horses' by mary oliver and liked it. wasn't too invested tho, but it's great.

and in the morning, i was able to read a lot of 'the idiot' by elif batuman. this book is making me so happy! her writing is amazing and just to be in selin's mind is fascinating.

be kind to yourselves 🤍🌧

read 'infocracia' with wine yesterday night and finished 'the right to sex' tonight which was good but not great. my plans are to read a bit more of 'lolita' or 'crime e castigo' tomorrow and find a better mindset, cause honestly i've not been feeling good lately.

hope everyone is having a good time in life. 🤍🌧

Because of my executive dysfunction, I have to treat every difficult task as a life of death situation If I want anything done. So when I end up failing the task, Or not doing it anyway; It feels like dying a little. I used to grin and bear it, but lately I’m wondering How much of me Is still left Before I’m completely Gone

Me when I’m studying but literally not retaining anything (at least I look cute doing it)

1. Organize your study space

Organizing your study space is really important. Avoid starting to study before that because getting up to get things you don’t have at hand will distract you. I have my own “desk organization list”. Laptop, iPad, Apple Pencil, earphones, water, fruits, my pencil case, my folders, paper, etc.

2.     Make a plan and get control of your calendar

Make a "to do list" and plan everything out. When exactly are your exams?  How many days do you want to study for each subject? Which subject needs more time? Etc., etc.

3.     Mistakes are good

When studying we do make mistakes sometimes. I hate it. You hate it. Yes, it’s awful. But they are GOOD. You learn from them. A short anecdote of my life: If I didn’t make the mistake of dating a complete idiot, I probably would not have learned that bad boys really aren’t that great haha.

4.     Find examples

To really understand something, you should find examples. E. g. if you are learning about some kind of criminal law, look up cases. If you are studying about the business cycle, look up examples of different countries. Is the US in a boom? Or a depression? Has it been in a depression before? What was that like?

5.     Test yourself

Quizz yourself. This is the most important thing when studying something by heart or learning a language. Get your flashcards out of your pocket!  And quizz yourself every single day!

6.     Take regular breaks and sleep for 8 hours

I know, studying is important. But what is even more important is your health. Don’t drain yourself. You got this. Don’t worry! Take a short break after 25 minutes every time. Just a short one. Allow yourself to breath and close your eyes. Your brain needs sleep and breaks to function!

7.     Study before going to sleep

A numerous amount of studies have found out that the brain processes a lot of things while sleeping. This can be very beneficial to us! Study for a few minutes before going to bed or revise what you have studied that day. It will help you remember it better.

8.     Eat good foods

I know you don’t want to hear this… A pizza is quite nice. But is it good for you? Probably not. Food is fuel. But we need good fuel to function properly. Eat nutritious foods and be good to your body. It really needs a healthy diet to maintain your health and stay happy. Also: Your brain needs calories. Don’t starve yourself. Aaaand, remember to drink enough water. I recommend watching “The Game Changers” on Netflix.

9.     Exercise

Working out can be extremely beneficial to you. Not just for your physical strength but also for your mental health and productivity, studies have found. Going for a run or going to the gym can increase your overall well-being! So let’s go! I’m getting ripped tonight, RIP that… umm sorry.

10.  Be kind to yourself

Last but not least, please be kind to yourself. Don’t beat yourself up. Everything is going to be fine. You are not alone. You are loved. You are worthy. Please remember that! I love you.

Feel free to join my #selfhelpforstudents100Days challenge (aka me doing the 100 Days of Productivity Challenge and motivating y'all haha).

Also feel free to join our study/mental health server on Discord. We’re doing self help “group therapy” calls, studying together and much more. We’re stronger together!

We are currently working on a website to help students with studying and mental health issues. My post about it.

Love, Sophia

Finals Week Mood

Send me some questions please 🥰 bored while studying for my VTNE

Pharmacology is going to kill me. I have an exam on Thursday that I know I'm not going to do the greatest on since I've just been very unmotivated the last 2 weeks. Now that I'm feeling good again I'm kicking myself for not trying harder 😭 how am I going to memorize all these drugs?!

After a long time a study session for Deutsch. #studyblr #studygram #languagelearning #langblr #studying https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs0UXBhhWgH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13sg8rv0iacfq

Boku no Studying Academia

Here's the one piece of uni advice I'll ever give: enjoy something about everything you do. There's gotta be one aspect, one Thing you like. Make it. Create it. I myself really enjoy writing with my fountain pen. It's smooth and feels liquid as I go. Really improves this note-taking business. You might like listening to very specific music as you walk to lecture. Buy a fancy lipstick. Wear it to seminars. Bam. Better mood. Paint your nails before a presentation. Wear those uber-comfortable socks you have. Find nice background vibes. Remove layers of hate from something hateable.

Can someone throw a coup over my brain so I can actually start working.

I'm getting nothing done and it's making me sad again

just heard someone say "revision is just doubting you knowledge" and i cant stop thinking abt it

MAMMMAAA I WANNA DIE SOMETIMES WISHED IVE NEVER BEEN BORN AT ALLLLLL

Does amybody else have school on saturdays??

life has been so kind to me lately

Did really well on my 2nd human physiology exam!!! I'm really proud of myself cause I went in really tired and not having studied much the night before, but I think studying throughout the weeks beforehand helped a lot!!

Had another night of drinking with my friends and I felt so happy and at peace with the fact that my friends and I are living our lives the way we should 🙂

Haven't done much school work recently besides the bare minimum, but it still feels okay since I am keeping on top of it all and not falling too far behind

I applied to Pharmacy school!!! Still waiting to hear back, but I am not too worried since I have a guaranteed interview because of my program I am in. The actual interview is gonna be the hard part 🫠🫠 Hoping it goes well, but my program directors say I will do fine!!
