a new year (pt. II) fuckstudy: 2017 tracker

I’m pretty shit with new years resolutions. I’ve decided to go with ‘vague aspirations that may or may not come to fruition’ this year. 4 categories, 3 points in each, as long as I tick one off per category come December, I’ll be content.

Trying to separate the mindset I use for work/study from the one I use for my personal goals. Still a work in progress. 

1 01.02.17 school is starting to pick up the pace, there’s so many tests coming and i’m quite worried, but here’s my biology notes for the first lecture topic! hope everyone is having a productive day (◡‿◡✿)

Today was really really a shitty day. Got a super bad grade at one of my exams even though I revised for hours and hours. But hey, LIFE GOES ON. It happens to everyone. After all, we are all human.

So there you go, I got really inspired to write about failure because guess what? IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.

1. CHANGE YOUR VISION OF FAILURE

Yes. Change it. Failure is, by definition, a lack of success. Well have you ever realized that failure can actually be a good thing? 

Ask yourself questions: What can I do to improve? What thing can I do differently next time? How can I avoid to make the same mistakes again?

Learn from your failures and this will lead you to success!

2. TRY AGAIN AND MOVE TO WORK HARDER

Failure is okay. But take this failure as a practice and work on it. Got a bad grade in vocabulary? Rewrite exercises, revise with different methods. Failure shouldn’t bring you down, it should help you to improve by showing your mistakes so as to not do them again! But if working on the thing you failed makes you too upset, just move on to another subject and try again the next day. 

3. IT’S OKAY TO LET IT ALL OUT

Upset, angry? Let your feelings out. It’s fine. Talk to friends/family, share it on social medias, write in your journal, listen to music, whatever will make you feel better. Once you’ve had your grieving time, just don’t go back on it. It’s the past right? And the past is behind. Now time to move on and focus on the future.

4. JUST A REMINDER: ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DO SOMETHING WITH THEIR LIFE WILL FAIL

How do you think singer or actress or anyone famous succeeded? Just like you, they had times when auditions went wrong, times when they didn’t get the role or didn’t get elected. It happens to everyone, even to the best of us!

And for the end, some famous quotes to remind you that you’re not a failure and I believe in you and so should you:

“Success is the ability to move from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.” - Winston Churchill

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” - Michael Jordan

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.” - Samuel Beckett

HOW TO DEAL WITH BURNOUT // When you work or study really hard 24/7, it’s easy to feel burnt out. Things stop mattering. You just don’t want to work on what used to be interesting. You’re always drained. 

Hopefully this guide helps you avoid and deal with burnout 

5.4.16 | Tuesday I decided to start a new (thinner) bullet journal so that it’ll take lesser space in my school bag. School’s finally starting next week, I don’t even know how to feel about this- new environment, new school, new friends!

Day 4 [4.2.17]: Pens

I only use one type of pen for all of my essay writing/work and that is the Uniball Jetstream 1.0 (the ink is amazing). The rest of the pens are just ones I pick out for my note-making and to make pretty headings!
