Introduction

Hello! I'm Iris 💙 I've been here in studyblr since 2023, but since it is now a new chapter of my life, I thought, new intro time!

I just finished my undergrad degree in Computer Applications. The 3 years have been really difficult because of balancing both education and my disability, so I decided to take an academic break for a few months before enrolling for a masters. So here I am, in a new chapter of my life where I gain back my hobbies, my strength and my spark ✨

Things you can expect from my blog:

Posts about my daily life

Hobbies I indulge in, such as sewing, writing, reading, art, research etc.

My self-learning endeavours: app development, software testing, and also french learning :)

Question 1 for the ask game ^^

Thankyouuuuuuu

1. How do you feel after completing your degree?

Thankyou for the ask!!!

4. Any advice you'd like to share to other students?

LMAO well someone already beat you to it 😔😔😔😔

both six and seven are answered here

Thankyou!!!

6. What are your plans next regarding education/career?

I'm hoping to be a compsci lecturer in a good university, so the next step would be a masters degree :))

7. What will you be doing during your academic break?

(ps is it okay to reblog? I graduated HS last month & the questions look fun haha)

Thankyou for the ask!!!

2. What motivated you during these three years?

MY STUDYBLR BESTIES!!! They motivated we through every step of the way and I could not be more grateful. I love the studyblr community!!

5. Will you miss anything about your uni?

NO MY UNI CAN GO ROT IN HELLLLLLLL

thankyou for the ask!!

If I could go back and do something different, it would definitely be less all nighters haha. I would push myself a lot less and prioritize my body above everything else.

I remember during the end of my first year, I kept pushing past my limits while preparing for my final theory exams, I was on the verge of tears for a whole day. I prepared for my first practical exam, and the next day, I put on a shirt and the texture was a bit eugh. But because I was already on overdrive, that small texture issue was the breaking point and i flared up real bad, I literally broke down crying which made me miss all my practical exams for the semester.

Small but fun ASK GAME! bc my results are out and I have officially passed uni

hihi :3 I didn't post for a long time but I'm back, and this time with a new productivity challenge to motivate myself to get back on my french learning hobby! I'm hoping to do productivity challenges for every hobby i want to incorporate into a habit, and this is the first week of it! Let's see if I have the energy this month to post more :))

Today i learned some french grammar and reviewed some flashcards. I'm still figuring out my learning strategy, gonna try out a few different things and see which one sticks. Overall it was a good day :)
