The end of this week is going to be extra busy!
I am going on a mini vacation starting next week and I'm trying to cram 2 weeks worth into three days so I'm not missing out on my vacation to stay on top of classes.
This includes:
An Essay on The Great Gatsby
A quiz on The Great Gatsby
An Essy on an American Icon (I chose Neil DeGrasse Tyson)
A personal narrative essay
My second Anthro test
Three chapters of my Cultural Anthropology textbook
Creating survey and interview questions for my honors Anthro project
So needless to say I will be exhausted by the end of it, but it will be worth it when I have a worry and stress free vacation!

I'd like to day that I am always organized and always have a clean working space but that's 100% false.
This is how my desk looks on a light homework load.
And that is my other fur baby Fetch

Spending the afternoon reading various anthropological articles and writing summaries. And as usual my fur baby is keeping me company 😺😻

Got my next essay all outlined and (kinda) ready to go. I have to have it finished by tomorrow, but all I really want to do is decorate for Halloween!

Desk layout...even though it won't stay like this for long!
No class on Fridays! But I still have a lot of work to do today. Chapters to read and essays to write.
But first, I'm going to ease into it with my current fun read: The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert. Accompanying me is my baby girl Dill and a chai coffee in my awesome Lord of the Flies mug.
Today's gonna be good!
Productivity! Day one
Today is my 24th birthday, so I thought that it would be the best day to start my 100 days of productivity!
For my first productive day I cleaned and organized my office, because a cluttered desk is not a happy desk!
This is my fiction and story writing bookshelf. Along with some of my pop culture collection.
This is my nonfiction and oddities bookshelf
And this is my super awesome birthday present from my husband! I haven't named him yet but I did put a snazzy lab coat on him.
And finally my desk! That has a bunch of homework that needs done. But it's a lot more organized than it was..cuz I'm messy.
Also since falling is almost here I have changed to my fall scented waxes, toffee crumb and pumpkin spice!
Thanks for peeping at my finally clean office, I'm loving now that its fully decorated and everything is in its place.🤗
January Study Challenge
day 24 - what’s on your desk? do you function best in a tidy or messy space?
here are very realistic photos of my desk ! i didn’t edit them or anything and i didn’t clean my desk after doing hw so ! um i would say it’s a good combo of tidy and messy. i have lots of things out, but i don’t have loads of trash or papers soooo yeah :)
Analyzing past papers to get a sense of what to expect in the entrance exam amid the tensions throughout the nation.
Ah I missed my old study space...
My desk was wide and free. I could fit many things sometimes but when I wanted spacious, it was what I needed.

Taking breaks is also being productive
Studying constantly only leads to burnout. Go take a walk. Feed some ducks. Admire a pretty building. Try to cook something new.
You might feel guilty at first, but nothing in excess is ever good, not even studying.
Dont forget to live life
You are smarter than you feel and you know more than you think.
Always while studying or right before an exam i feel like i don't know anything, my thoughts are all jumbled and I can't find a straight answer for a question i ask myself for funsies.
That's ok.
I've come to know that, despite feeling like i don't know anything, i hold all the necessary information. When it counts, when you have a specific problem right in front of you, you will know the answer.
You sometimes just have to trust yourself.
All work and no fun makes for a very cranky law student
Take a break
Go play cards, smell some flowers, read tarot, do a funny sketch of an animal, learn origami, dance for no reason, draw a mustache on yourself
Don't let life pass you by
Just because you have to study to achieve your dreams doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable
College has been a whole process for me. I did not know how to study, i did not know how to put effort into the right things, and most importantly, i did not know how to accept that my actions (or lack of) were the problem.
It took me years, but I've learned to accept that it's ok for me to need to study to be good when it comes to a subject, that college is a place for learning, not for being instantly good at something.
And now i can finally say that, without the subconscious frustration, i truly do enjoy learning new things, studying new subjects, and studying for the sake of knowing more, not just to pass exams.
It takes work, but it's all worth it.
Studying isn't about grades, it's about falling in love with a subject.
I've officially started my last year of college and have never felt more excited. These years have been a process of learning to love learning new things, but i think I've finally started fully appreciating the opportunity to study subjects that not only interest me, but will also help me in my life and career post-university.
I'm grateful to have professors that are passionate about the courses they teach, I'm grateful for the friends that are just as dedicated to learning as I am, with whom I can always discuss interesting details and debatable theories.
It's a new year and I'm grateful to become a new me.
Less than one week until the first exam.
I've reached the point where i can't wait for the day of the exam to have an excuse to get out of the house and dress up in something other than comfy house clothes.
Wish me luck!

Trying to get back in the studying mood is the hardest part of studying.
There's still time left until my midterms, but I don't want to cram a lot right before the exams, so I'm trying to get back on track. Productivity level is remarkably low.
Any advice on getting motivated to study?

Tomorrow i have two exams and i need to revise a lot today.
When i get the chance, i try to buy everything pastel pink. Makes me feel more legally blonde rather than burnt out law student.
9/100 days of productivity

Had a super productive day yesterday, so today things are moving a tad slower
Decided to do this in a break to take my mind off the courses
1/100 days of productivity
