12. 10. 2017 🍁 Hey guys! Sorry for being so inactive lately. We finally started uni and so we will have more things to post. 😊 New BuJo spread. - Sheila 💋

study aesthetic expectations: neatly-written notes, pastel highlighters, pretty doodles on the margins of notebook paper, classical music playing softly in the background, mug of warm tea steaming by a laptop. you are calm and collected–you only have a tiny bit of stress. 

study aesthetic reality: chicken-scratch writing on looseleaf, ten billion papers flying around the desk, heavy pop music to keep you awake, three empty coffee mugs scattered around your room, and yOU WANT TO DIE BECAUSE HOLY SHIT THE DEADLINE IS BREATHING DOWN YOUR NECK AND THERE ARE ACTUALLY FIVE TESTS TO STUDY FOR RUN FOR THE HILLS  

Photos from lectures and my new mini bullet journal.

My A5 notebook was too heavy to carry along with everything else I need at uni, so I’ve moved into an a6.

🍑 intro / about me 🍑

My new kanken arrived and its sooo cute 😍🍂🥀

it’s important to take care of your studies, but you need to take care of yourself! focus on little every day things that will keep you happy and relaxed! 

1. drink water. hydration will keep you healthy, alive, and functioning to your best ability! in between studying, make sure to continuously drink water. this will make sure your brain is active. if ever you feel really dull, wash your face and chug a glass. you’ll feel rejuvenated immediately.  (but do not drink too much water or you’ll deplete yourself of important body resources.)

2. eat fruits. even a simple banana or apple will do the trick. rather than drinking the sugary juices you can buy in stores, cut up a fruit and eat it while you do something. this will not only prevent you from munching on unhealthy snacks, but your skin will become fresh! don’t overeat the snacks that are full of calories. studying requires being pretty much physically inactive while our brain does all of the work. eat fruits, get your vitamins and important nutrients, stay healthy, and keep your skin glowing!

3. keep moisturized. drinking water will do half the trick, but make sure to apply some form of moisturizer. some acne breakouts are due to allergy, but most of them are due to dry skin. dry skin will force the face to make more oil which will clog the pores and cause a breakout. however, if you are already moisturized, your face will not produce extra oils. Make sure to wash your face at least three times (moderate based on skin type) a day aside from your shower to keep any grime from sticking to your lotion/cream. coconut oil is an amazing alternative that will keep your skin glowing, eyebrows healthy, and eyelashes long. (not for everyone)

4. smile. smiling will relax your facial muscles and make you feel (somewhat) better. you’ll feel positive and others will feel nice by looking at you too! radiating a smile from inside will project a good feeling outside, keeping you motivated at all times. try to be positive! 

5. keep organized. organization will make you feel less cluttered and stressed both outside and inside. you will get the feeling that you have your life under your hands and be able to find everything-do everything-you want. organization will create great habits for your future, too. try to follow a certain aesthetic (colour, furniture, etc.) that you love and this will guide you to a more organized, beautiful, and neat environment.

6. do things that make you happy. studying all the time will only get you good grades, which does bring some level of happiness. but pursuing a hobby will make you feel a lot better as well. take care of your plants, knit a sweater, go jogging. be active outside of studying, especially while doing something you love. meet someone nice, call a friend, hang with family. or just chill by yourself! all of this will cumulate into a healthy lifestyle.

7. think about you! think about your past, present, and future. worry about the things you haven’t done and comfort yourself with a plan to fix the problems. think about your goals and try to set them in place. plan and focus. remember all the great things that have happened and continue down the road of goodness. this, no doubt, will keep you always happy! and remember, do not stress. just breathe and think things through.

Bought a new zine.

My paradise is books, stationery, cups of tea, and alone time.

Was out for lunch with friends, and after taking a run, I studied a little bit of Spanish 🌿
