25/09/18 - 14/100 Days Of Productivity

03/10/19 I’m doing the uni thing!

Long time no see, guys! Now the academic year has properly started for me, I’m getting into the swing of making summaries comprising lecture notes and information from textbooks and further reading. It’s my day off from any lectures, workshops, tutorials or labs so I’m just reading and keeping it low key

Well fam, 6 hours of solitary confinement and two exams later I can say with 100% certainty I will not get A*s in German or Maths ahahahaha

I hate electrochemistry so much but I’m trying not to make life harder for myself by creating a mental barrier

Overcompensating for the snow by making my study setup extra tropical 🌵🌿

Being kinder to myself

Many of you will have noticed this blog has been very dormant for a while. I have really stepped back with the constant studying in order to recover from severe burnout, depression and anxiety. If there’s any good year to do this, it’s my first year of uni: my marks don’t count towards my final degree classification. I have indeed been going to lectures and labs and diligently doing all set work, I’ve just cut back the time I spend studying outside of contact hours a bit. Taking a break has helped me feel better, and I’m ready to jump into second year and read around and really engage with the chemistry I’ll be doing. There is no shame in this, and I’d really like you all to remember that it’s okay to cut yourself some slack when you need to x

I’m back home now and life has gone back to normal unfortunately. However, I am determined to make the most of the three weeks I have left of my holiday

04/09/18 Biology notes! I’ve not made any in a while and thought I should be productive. I actually got up early for once because my little brother started Year 3 today and I wanted to go with him to drop him off. I don’t go back until the 10th so I’ve got some time on my hands!

Also “High Hopes” by P!ATD is the best thing ever :)

6-7/11/18 - 58-59 days of productivity

I’m so so happy I’ve finished this topic because a lot of it is just common sense. However, lessons are a laugh, as always :)

Analysing Der Vorleser in German is really amazing and I have my first essay to write on it this week! I really want to smash it out the park.

Maths is going well - I’ve used all this time I have to take it a bit easy these past two days because I felt like I was neglecting French.

Chemistry work is all done! AND I was in bed for 9:45pm, too :)

Plus - there’s supposed to be a biology test next week and I’m going to miss it for a visit day to Birmingham, which might just mess my schedule up but I’m excited for the visit nonetheless.

Have a great rest-of-week guys!

Hi guys! I see I’ve gathered quite a number of followers since starting this account only a year or so ago. I’m so so grateful for all your support and interactions with me and my material and I love seeing all your posts too!

I’ve now finished Year 13, which means I am on a very long summer break until 1st October, when I start my course at university! As you can imagine, posting will pick up then. For the time being, I am relaxing and trying to focus on my mental health so I am refreshed and recovered for my degree.

That means, of course, that this account is hibernating until October - I have nothing much to study! However, I may update you guys every now and again on what I’m getting up to in my spare time - hopefully lots of artwork and reading and happy experiences of work experience!

Until October folks! ❤️

I wrote a letter to my uni friend today. Along with it, I sent her some homemade star confetti, a list of music and films I was enjoying (she shared her playlist with me first and I thought it was a cute idea), and a handwritten copy of my favourite Brecht poem, since we met each other in German class. I hope she likes them as much as I do.
