I'm being indecisive so let's see 0-0
~ sound of raindrops falling are wonder to my ears but thunder is music to my soul...~
Today was alright, I guess. My project finally got accepted by our computer teacher, like after suffering for a week or two we finally completed.
Nothing much to update here so....
Did some accounts sums
Completed 40% of English assignment
Completed 20% of Arabic assignment
I've been meaning to wake up at 5:30 from tomorrow to start studying. Let's see... O-O
Well... I had been sick the past few days but right now I'm better. Atleast well enough to study. Tomorrow we have school till 1, I'll be back by 3 so after that I'll start my studies... I have my term exams from next week, I just feel exhausted and tired now T-T
To do list for the weekend :
Complete English assignment
Complete 1 unit of English (3 lessons + grammar)
Complete 1 chapter in Accounts + Revise some previous chapters
Complete 2 chapters in Economics
Complete 8 chapters Part 1-3 in Business Studies
I hope I'm able to complete these :")
I made a similar post last year for junior year so if anyone wants to check that out, click here!
I missed out on a lot of fun because of studying
I was too serious, I just realised that now
Studied the whole year and did well, only to burn out during finals so take a break. The world does not burn because you left one question
Most of my conversations revolved around college which by the way will irritate people. Talk about actual things, be light hearted.
Spent a lot of time on the phone in the morning
Slept late. Do not follow this. Seriously.
Didn't take time out for myself
Got too addicted to the concept of learning from AI (I mean during learning and not assignments)
Loved the concept of productivity, ended up back firing.
My anxiety sky rocketed because of pressure
People will say sh*t, you don't have to listen to them
And sometimes when people say sh*t. Listen to them
I thought the same study methods I used for my junior year could be applied to senior year but no, I took too much time, trying to force myself to follow those methods and that heightened my frustration because they didn't work (so if something doesn't work even after a month? Your sign to revaluate)
Just because a method of studying worked for you in the past, doesn't mean it will work all the time so don't continue it.
Thought my whole happiness would come with that one freaking grade on my progress grade but newsflash? it didn't
Was forced into things I didn't like, competitions and extra curriculars mainly. Worst part? I won all the ones I participated in but it just felt worthless.
I empathized with others but I couldn't empathize with myself
Stopped giving a shit about certain things that actually mattered
I spent my whole senior year comforting others who had problems but never shared mine. And the result? Burnout plus loneliness.
Panicked during exams and ended up questioning myself too much.
My mental health deteriorated but I managed.
(Again, it is for your referencing obviously. I will look at this when I'm going to college.)
Okay, my English exam went alright, not too bad but i didn't do anything else today which is bad but I'll make up for it tomorrow. I got to study for Arabic, Economics, Business studies and Accountancy in these two days... I'm comfortable with computers because our teachers keeps tests frequently so yeah but the others? Definitely not.
So, tomorrow's to do list (study wise):
Complete Accounts lesson 4 and half of 5
Economics chapter 6 and 7 (Part 1-3)
Commerce chapter 9 and 10 (Part 1-3)
[I hope I have time to do this much but let's see]
📚 favorite course you’ve taken?
Hey :)
Thanks for the ask!
📚 favorite course you’ve taken?
I haven't taken alot of courses but an Arabic course I took in sophomore year is definitely my favorite course. Like, it's helping me so much in my Arabic right now so yeah xD
Something I've seen quite a lot nowadays is people studying with timers, like, I still don't understand it... I've asked many people and they're like "It helps us to finish the goal while managing time and we complete our revision sooner"
But the main thing is, they don't remember it for more than a few hours or days... for me the goal is to complete the task perfectly and not to complete it faster than anyone.
Because when you keep looking at the clock, you're worried more about the time than the work. You're more excited about getting a break after that specific time than the actual studying. That is why, when i study, I face towards an empty wall and I can easily work without worrying about the time.
Don't set a time limit for any work, you'll realise how much work you'll actually get done when you're not looking at the clock.
Of course, this doesn't have to work for you but I think that this could help you expand your average study time.
No harm trying it :)
