BUJOIGN

07.01.20// the two spots I spend the most time right now. Cozy desk upstairs, cozy reading couch downstairs. We’ve been to the coffee shop by our place a handful of times to try to support local while we can!

Here’s to starting another term in lockdown! Wishing you all the best of luck, we’ve got this! ☕️✨

6:33 PM | first week of the semester. welcome back ✨

27.05.2020 - 3:30pm

The last 2 weeks because I’ve been slacking on posting them here but just wanted to say thank you guys! I really appreciate that so many of you enjoy my bujo style 🥺💕

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.

Presentation preparations.

I‘m so nervous about this presentation because tbh I don’t understand a lot of it. I’ve been working on it for 3 weeks now, and I really tried to understand most of it, but I’m hoping that there won’t be any questions.

the first week of classes is over!!

10.01.20// really getting into my thesis reading. I have so many articles saved that I finally have the time and energy to read these articles! It’s been a lot of me cleaning my desk and messing it back up but this space is really feeling productive!

Wishing you all a safe and healthy new term! 💕
