Days of Productivity 16/100.

I have fallen a bit off the wagon with this challenge slightly. It's not like I haven't been productive, it's more like I'm doing a lot of the same things in the same places. Also, I am so bad at taking pictures of my day.

The day before an exam! Honestly just studied all day until evening came and I had to switch into research paper mode because I have a research paper for my masters program due after the exam. But the day was surprisingly less stressful than I expected and I managed to almost finish a rough draft of my entire paper ☺️

hi everyone! i’ve been on studyblr for a while – i was a veteran studyblr under a different name & the account is still there, but it exists more as an archive for me – so this is my second shot!

＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚　about me　˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊

you can call me valentine, or val for short!

pronouns are she/her, i’m also 💅

best aesthetic to describe me is chaotic academia

i will be tracking #kaimenestra so feel free to use that tag!

＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚   my academics　˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊

i am a college student! in my second year right now

my major is area studies (specifically east asian studies), but i take a lot of law/social justice-adjacent courses too

thinking of law school and/or grad school :)

my academic interests lie strictly in the humanities – languages, literature, law, and social science research are big parts of my life

＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚　my goals　˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊

i’m hoping to get fluent in my target languages, so i’ll be documenting them here. i speak english and a chinese dialect, but i’ll be studying a mix of: mandarin chinese, korean, german, ukrainian, and french!

i like to do research, and am currently on track to be published in an academic journal by the end of undergrad!

i am also the type of person who loves reading but doesn’t actually read that much, so hopefully this helps me read again!

the rest (non-academic info & tags) under the cut for length reasons

Day 1 of winter classes - Introduction to Psychology: Part 1

The History of Psychology

It’s 3am and my classes started at midnight and I immediately hopped onto my Psych class.

I am so incredibly excited for this class and am ecstatic that we’re using Crash Course Psychology as a resource for the term.

❄️Day 30 of My Winter Studying Challenge ❄️

30th December - What is your best memory from 2021?

19.01.2022 // is this among the prettiest posts i've shared with u? obviously not. but it's been ages since i posted anything but book-related content, so hi, hello, a bit of a long time no see situation :) ngl the past half a year has been absolute hell and i'm really not having the time of my life, but i absolutely refuse to quit, so there's that; quite inconvenient when you have over 11 exams in the span of a month if u ask me, but ✨it is what it is✨ am i right.. anyway, hope you've started the year off better and that you get enough time to yourself this year to do what sparks joy alongside your studies/work xx
