Quarantine Tarantino: Beginning

on a scale of 0 to Emil Sinclair, how gay are you?

Welp

Today is not a very good day. I'm starting to wonder why my Fridays are always filled with inconveniences and problems; it's borderline comical at this point.

got stomach flu last night

was unable to attend my classes today

was unable to attend my CET Review

the script i wrote got lost

I'm really scared for the Fridays to come, but we all know Fridays are inevitable as long as I'm alive. 😂

Hope you're having better days than me! Hit me up if you want to rant, share, or just talk about stuff!

small studyblrs reblog!

if you’re a small studyblr (<100 followers) and active, reblog this post! i want to queue original content from my fellow small studyblrs

truly an old-book-enthusiast haven.

i remember going to this mall once, then having severe anxiety and guilt for not using that time on studying or requirements instead. thankfully, i saw this shop, and although it did not fully relieve me of my guilt— it made me feel like i would also regret it if i wasn’t with my family to see this.

give yourself a break sometimes! ✨

day 1 |  back to school challenge |  🎶winner - island

next semester is going to be my first year in university, so i’m super excited!! to stay focused this semester, here is my list of goals for fall 2017. (this is me talking to myself, so it’s gonna be in 2nd person)

goals for: school

make a study schedule

use google calendar to build a schedule w enough study time allotted to each class, as well as imp assignments and tests

and stick to it! 

build self-discipline!

5-minute rule: if you don’t want to do it, just do it for 5 minutes. just 5

no zero days. a day shouldn’t go by, that you did nothing for your dreams and aspirations

there’s no way around the hard work! if you wanna graduate early, buckle up and get to work

obliterate procrastination!

set early deadlines, and convince yourself they’re as imp as the real deadlines

when you don’t feel like it, remember the snowball effect. leave it now, and it will become a bigger problem later

tell your friends that you’re gonna do something, and you’re for sure gonna have it done by a certain time

block tumblr and youtube. forreal

classes & academics

learn who sits beside you and make friends with them

read the entire syllabus!! 

join at least two student groups

practice making small talk. they’re midwest people, they’re gonna be nice, they won’t bite, don’t worry,

participate in class! answer questions! make sure the prof/ta knows you! 

talk to the prof/ta if you’re struggling. don’t try to do it all alone all the time

goals for: self

mental health

don’t be too hard on yourself

follow advice from people who have gone thru uni w/ mental health issues 

build self-confidence in yourself

stop apologizing. you are enough

go to counseling/therapy when it gets bad, there’s counseling that won’t cost you

explain to friends / tell them i’m not ignoring them, just, my brain is kinda not working well sometimes

daily routines

fix your sleep schedule. please. go to sleep: 10-11. wake up: 5-6

set up a schedule for skincare routine and stick to it. get some better moisturizer asap and stick! to! the! routine!

make a fitness schedule as well. aim for a certain amount of physical time per day, and neck/arm/back excercises for everyday

diet: increase fruit/veg intake slowly; one fruit/veg/smoothie a day. drink water when you want sugar

even tho this post turned out super long and specific, feel free to use any of these if you would like!!

If you look at the world and say “Yes, there are enough homes for people, yes, there is enough food for people, but if we give it away for free they won’t have earned it and the economy will collapse.” Then you have chosen money (a constructed medium of exchange) over living beings who only want to continue living in peace and safety.

And I have no qualms telling you, that is the wrong choice, and you have been brainwashed by this destructive, exploitative system.

hindi ko alam kung ako lang, pero palaging humihirap yung buhay-akademiko ko kapag wala ako sa mainit na yakap ng campus. tuwing umuuwi ako kapag weekend, o di kaya kapag naka-bakasyon, palaging akong nalulugmok sa ilalim ng kumot ng madilim kong kwarto. siguro dahil bumabawi pa rin ako sa dalawang taong pandemic pero dalawang taon na yung nagdaan pero litong-lito pa rin ako sa estado ng pag-aaral ko.

tanda ko 'tong kuha na ito, sembreak at wala gaanong tao sa campus. tanghaling tapat pero nakuha ko pang tumambay sa fpark at tumanaw ng mga high school students na nagpapractice. ako, maraming tambak na gawaing naiwan sa apartment. maraming backlogs, maraming hinahabol na INC. hindi ko alam kung bakit mas malungkot pa ko na hindi ko nakikita yung Carillon tower ngayon kesa don sa hindi ko nahabol na INC at gulo-gulo kong academic records. sana nasa elbi ako ngayon, sayang malilim pa naman.

I’m constantly torn between “if it’s meant to be, it will be” and “if you want it, go and get it.”

random studying 101

Remove all distractions. When I was in 9th-10th grade, I let my sister hide my phone and I also said to her that don’t give it to me until the specific time. Now, I hide it in my cabinet or under my pillow. Hide it so that it will be gone in your sight. 

Music. Don’t play music that is distracting and with lyrics. Make sure they make you concentrate and focus on the task. (Use earphones or headphones!)

Motivate yourself. Sometimes, no one will motivate you so you have to motivate yourself. Find quotes, videos and things that will motivate you enough to study.

Study beverage. This is really important to me. I always study while drinking something. Tea, hot chocolate or coffee. I don’t know but they help me focus. 

Study in places with natural light. 

If you can’t focus in your room, study in the library. Sometimes, my siblings are noisy and I can’t really understand my lessons anymore, I will go to school early. ( I have afternoon class.) So, I will go to school two hours before class. 

Don’t wait until the day before or cram because you will not remember anything. When you cram, your brain can’t encode the information to your long-term memory. Because of that, you will not remember anything in the morning. 

If you believe that you can’t keep up in the lesson, make sure that before the lesson you advance study. I always do this especially in math because I need tons of practice before I get it. 

Organize your time and follow it. Don’t just make a time plan, you need to implement it in your day.
