study blog

feeling really overwhelmed and behind, and then taking a day to get everything done and feeling on top of things again

completely understanding a concept

for me, turning something in on time feels really good, especially when executive dysfunction only lets that happen rarely

talking to someone and realizing you’re not the only one struggling with this or that problem

actually enjoying what you’re learning about and pursuing it further

having a clean study space with plants, a drink, and everything organized

going through a binder and having your whole system refreshed

getting a good score on something you worked hard on or that mattered to you

Having XX in your genetic makeup DOES NOT: make you any less capable of being a doctor/engineer/surgeon/whatever the fuck you want to be. Does not mean you have a bad sense of direction. Does not mean that your emotions & feelings are exaggerated/invalid. Does not mean that you’re (or your outfit) the one to be blamed if a someone catcalls or harasses you or even makes you uncomfortable. SPEAK UP. We are all equal.

Beauty really does come in all shapes & sizes. Please stop comparing yourself to those photoshopped Instagram “fitness models” you’re perfect the way you are. Don’t waste a second of your life being overly critical of your appearance, if you can’t get over that thought then seek help. Be kind to your beautiful self because you deserve it.

Pt. 5

Hey guys, since my previous post on Morning Routines was very well received,  I decided to make a night version. This small infographic thingy outlines the things I do at night to prep myself for rest, as well as some other things you could try to ensure you get a good night’s sleep. Hope this helps, and don’t hesitate to drop me an ask if you have any questions!

1. there is no shame in asking for help (academic, emotional, or mental) 

2. there is no shame in going to tutoring 

3. there is no shame in getting Bs, Cs, Ds, or Fs 

4. there is no shame in not knowing what you want to study 

5. there is no shame in having a job 

6. there is no shame in struggling in a so-called “easy course” 

7. there is no shame in withdrawing from a course you don’t feel comfortable in 

8. there is no shame in changing your major 

9. there is no shame in not taking a full load of classes in a semester
