trying is much more important than succeeding

10 minutes of studying > not studying at all

being a college student is more than academics. it’s also learning how to enjoy your own company, learning and occasionally screwing up meals, wandering outside campus like a tourist, questioning your ideals and presuppositions, discovering new talents and skills for the hell of it, and SO much more. if you feel burnt out in one dimension of college life, that’s a sign to spend some time relishing in another dimension.

if you need more time, take a deep breath and shoot that email to your professor/TA asking for an extension. at worst, they say no. and don’t stress over properly explaining yourself/your situation. hell, just email them: “Hi, Professor. I need your help. Sincerely, y/n.” all it takes is that one initial reach out and the rest will follow.

failure does not reflect character. read that again. remind yourself as often as you see fit because at one point or another, you will feel like you’ve failed. it’s growing pains. once you’ve accepted that, learn to view any setbacks as a hint that you need to try a new method/approach. didn’t do well on that math quiz? don’t beat yourself up over it–instead, regroup with yourself and see which metaphorical gear got stuck in your personal learning process machine. for instance, maybe you used flash cards and that wasn’t really your style. act like a detective, not a bully.

during exams i used to get really stressed out about not having enough time to study between, so i designed myself a lil study planner that maps out my week

26/04/2018 - 026/100 days of productivity

The better my professor, the tidier are the notes I take during lectures. I managed to study for a longer period of time at home, without getting distracted. That’s quite rare, I usually have to go to the library in order to concentrate.

Also my Mum told me that she is very proud of me and honestly, I almost started crying from relief.

Today I…

went to the dentist (thus beating my social anxieties)

revised/solved two constitutional law cases

revised six civil law cases

wrote a mock exam in civil law

solved 4 civil law cases (but only wrote one of them out, I just took notes on the other three)

washed my bedding

if you had to take time off school you are not a failure

if you had to leave school for good you are not a failure

05. 19. 2019 | Next exam is already here, tomorrow I will be taking Ochem Midterm #2 and I can say I am pretty scared. I reviewed everything and they seemed fairly straight forward so I can only hope that this next exam will go well and I hope my notes will be able to pull me through my last bit of studying I can do.
