mental health tips i wish i’d been given before starting university

  1. trying is much more important than succeeding
  2. 10 minutes of studying > not studying at all
  3. being a college student is more than academics. it’s also learning how to enjoy your own company, learning and occasionally screwing up meals, wandering outside campus like a tourist, questioning your ideals and presuppositions, discovering new talents and skills for the hell of it, and SO much more. if you feel burnt out in one dimension of college life, that’s a sign to spend some time relishing in another dimension.
  4. if you need more time, take a deep breath and shoot that email to your professor/TA asking for an extension. at worst, they say no. and don’t stress over properly explaining yourself/your situation. hell, just email them: “Hi, Professor. I need your help. Sincerely, y/n.” all it takes is that one initial reach out and the rest will follow.
  5. failure does not reflect character. read that again. remind yourself as often as you see fit because at one point or another, you will feel like you’ve failed. it’s growing pains. once you’ve accepted that, learn to view any setbacks as a hint that you need to try a new method/approach. didn’t do well on that math quiz? don’t beat yourself up over it–instead, regroup with yourself and see which metaphorical gear got stuck in your personal learning process machine. for instance, maybe you used flash cards and that wasn’t really your style. act like a detective, not a bully.
  6. THERE IS NO NORMAL TIMELINE FOR YOUR COLLEGE CAREER(!!!!!!). a lot of people need more than 4 years, a lot of people need 4 years, and a lot of people need less than 4 years. and every single one of those timelines are valid. the worst thing you could do is squeeze the living hell out of yourself into some rigid schedule that is incompatible with who you are and how you learn. trust me when i say u will find yourself doing the best work when u do it at YOUR pace.

The spread turned out better than expected with my weird drawings lol using Stabilo products to draw them plus some combustion and refrigeration notes.

the aesthetic im trying to have this summer: eating breakfast in cute cafes while i work on assignments for my communications class vs

the aesthetic i actually have this summer: covered in mud, lost in a potato field and yelling “stop humping!” at beetles that, in fact, continue to hump. we love field work!

during exams i used to get really stressed out about not having enough time to study between, so i designed myself a lil study planner that maps out my week

it has a section for events, a checklist, and a time tracker so i can tell myself to stop freaking out :) if anyone wants the pdf, lemme know!

26/04/2018 - 026/100 days of productivity

The better my professor, the tidier are the notes I take during lectures. I managed to study for a longer period of time at home, without getting distracted. That’s quite rare, I usually have to go to the library in order to concentrate.

Also my Mum told me that she is very proud of me and honestly, I almost started crying from relief.

Today I…

  • went to the dentist (thus beating my social anxieties)
  • revised/solved two constitutional law cases
  • revised six civil law cases
  • wrote a mock exam in civil law
  • solved 4 civil law cases (but only wrote one of them out, I just took notes on the other three)
  • washed my bedding

Take care everyone!

if you had to drop out of a class you are not a failure

if you had to take time off school you are not a failure

if you had to leave school for good you are not a failure

your worth is not determined by academia and this goes doubly so for disabled people and others for whom school is set against them

05. 19. 2019 | Next exam is already here, tomorrow I will be taking Ochem Midterm #2 and I can say I am pretty scared. I reviewed everything and they seemed fairly straight forward so I can only hope that this next exam will go well and I hope my notes will be able to pull me through my last bit of studying I can do.
