day 9 of the #30daysofpositivity challenge

240418 [77/100 Days of Productivity]

Even though I feel a little lazy I managed to pull through and completed all the exercise questions from my lecture slides, and I only have 1 more chapter of flashcards to do! I feel like I spent the worse half of this semester just crying over chemistry :’) Also my PHI lecturer is the sweetest and just emailed me that I can retake my online test lol.

set your top 3 to-dos for the day.

do your top 3 to-dos for the day. (heh)

hug at least three people. (seriously.)

weeklies

polish your school shoes.

mop your bedroom floor.

dare i say, laundry. (don’t put it off!)

exfoliate.

take a leisure walk.

review your past week and plan your next week accordingly. (a part of your routine may not be working–try something new)

make a piece of art. (a sketch, a collage, a quote in pretty lettering, a god-awful poem..)

sanitize your gadgets. (whip out the wet tissue and wipe away at your phone, your laptop, your mouse, your earphones–just don’t forget to IMMEDIATELY follow that up with a dry cloth to prevent fogging and short circuits)

watch a TED Talk.

make a new playlist.

monthlies

wash your bag.

wash your shoes.

change the sheets of your bed and your pillows.

clip your nails. (honestly)

wax/shave. (if you want. i just really like how fresh my skin feels after i torture it with razors and wax strips)

wipe your shelves/the tops of your furniture clean. (try to avoid dusting. it just scatters the dirt everywhere. use a damp cloth instead)

see if there’s anything in your storage that you don’t need/want anymore and give stuff away or sell them.

review your month and plan the next one accordingly. (just like your weeks. remember to refer to your Life Goal/Year’s Goals page)

finish reading at least one book. (and review it!)

discover new songs.

μεράκι. σφοδρή επιθυμία ή καημός; ενασχόληση με επιμέλεια και γούστο; (συνήθως στον πληθυντικό: μεράκια) ευχάριστο συναίσθημα που προκύπτει από διασκέδαση

meraki. to do something with passion, with absolute devotion, with undivided attention

here’s my study playlist! it’s purely chill music. there’s really no lyrics. maybe a few words of dialogue but all the songs i’ve put in this playlist were chosen because 1) they had a good beat and 2) they were really relaxing and not too intense. there is a little surprise, if you can catch it. 

Plant doodles 🌿 I wish I had more time to make all of my #bujo spreads prettier but recently I just can’t find the time! When do you create your spreads? 🌸

Okay so we’re weird cause we’ve got « on » and « nous » that kinda mean the same thing. It’s french for « we », and you might ask yourself which one to use!

Well there’s no rule really but that’s how, as a french native, I use « nous » and « on » in situations.

ON - When I’m with one or multiple people and speak to them about us.

Example: on peut marcher jusqu’à la plage

(we can walk until the beach)

(of course you can say « nous » also, but I think it would sound more native if you used « on » in these kind of situations)

NOUS - When you talk to someone who’s not apart of the « nous » about you and the people you’re with (if that makes sense lol)

Example: moi et mes amis nous marchons jusqu’à la plage

(me and my friends we walk until the beach)

(so here you’re telling someone what you and your group is doing for example, instead of addressing yourself directly to the group like you would do with “on”, BUT AGAIN you can also use “on”, that’s just how as a native I’d use these words!)
