I wish everyone would admit that classic literature is inherently difficult to read, and that you shouldn’t feel stupid if you don’t “get it”. Especially the dark academia/ classic lit fandoms and stuff. Like unless you have the vocabulary and pop culture knowledge of an 18th century nobleman, it’s going to be a tough read. It’ll take you longer to read; you’re not stupid if you’ve spent several months on a single book! And you don’t have to enjoy everything. It’s okay if you got bored after one chapter of Wuthering Heights, and couldn’t be bothered to read the rest. It’s okay if you want to read your favourite kids book for the 10th time instead. You’re not stupid. No piece of literature is inherently better, more “important”, more “meaningful”, or more “intellectual” than another. First and foremost, read what brings you joy.

finally, someone said it.

some things i’ve learned while studying in quarantine

  1. drink more water instead of more coffee.
  2. weekly goals are bullshit. set yourself 3-day goals. you’ll be less laid-back.
  3. don’t just mindlessly stare at words. before you start studying, know your approach to it. have a plan.
  4. summarizing the concept in your own words is the key part of taking notes. don’t just copy things down, convert them into your own way of talking, your own vocabulary, no matter how dumb and unprofessional it sounds.
  5. don’t let the “studyblr aesthetic” fool you. studying doesn’t have to be pretty. summaries and notes can be messy as long as they’re comprehensible. you can always rewrite and reorganize them later. (honestly, you better do. and you better keep them.)
  6. don’t throw away the papers you’ve solved your problems in. staple them to the fucking textbook. you need to see them constantly. cause you’ll need reminders of how far you’ve came, when you’re feeling discouraged.
  7. don’t be an armchair analyst for your issues. if you have an idea then act on it.
  8. remember: the exact point where it becomes difficult, is where your growth begins. take a deep breath, and try to focus on the paragraph in front of you.
  9. get off your high horse and understand that if you’re a zero, you won’t go to 100 in a couple of days. first, you’ll need to reach 30, then from 30 to 60, and then from 60 to 90. nobody is 100 everyday. that happens very rarely.
  10. you need to have fun everyday. you need to have peaceful time every single day. even on exam night. especially on exam night, actually. so make sure you’ve studied enough so you can have some time to yourself.
  11. once you’re on a roll and in need of some challenge to stay on track, start writing down your studying hours. tell yourself you’re not allowed to do less than 80% of what you did yesterday. whatever the hell it was, even just one hour. so if yesterday you really studied for like, say 8 hours, today your goal is to study for at least 6 and a half hours. if you can’t keep up with that, make it 70%, or 60%. 
  12. be forgiving of yourself. be kind to yourself. even if you bounced back and lost your streak. start again. as slowly as you did before. take your time. it’s okay, you were there once you can get there again.

life update because long time no see!!!!!! I’ve not been active here lately because life’s been overwhelming so here’s a messy update:

1- I’ve been mainly focusing on my dissertation which is FINALLY FINISHED! I’ve submitted the final version for review and once I get that back I’ll have to fix some things and then upload the final version the first week of june!

2- I’ve also had a ton of projects to work on for all three classes I have this semester and I still have 2 big ones to finish and they’re due in 3 weeks…

3- I’ve been going to the dentist almost every week since the beginning of April and it sucks but at least the dentist guy is cute so

4- I saw endgame two days in a row when it came out and it destroyed me and i’m still not over it so yeah

5- also been watching game of thrones and season 8 is a freaking joke i can’t believe what they’re doing to the characters’ arcs.

6- I still don’t have a clue what I’m gonna do with my life once uni is over lol also wish my family would stop asking me nonstop

7- I’ve reached that level of stress where I’m just kinda calm and it’s scary.

“I think every girl needs to love herself, regardless of anything. Like if you’re having a bad day, if you don’t like your hair, if you don’t have the best family situation, whatever, you have to love yourself and you can’t do anything until you love yourself first.”

— self love is so important :)
