Mood:

First of all, thank you for all your encouragement. It freaking means so much to me. Second, I cracked the case of today. After posting my last update, I washed my face and brushed my teeth, effectively starting the day over again. I changed my surroundings from the living room couch to my office. I was hungry, so I fed myself. I also ran Forest on my phone. I sat down and began doing my work. I knew what had been draining me. A friend and I had had a disagreement and hadn’t talked in weeks. I basically didn’t allow myself to have much of a reaction, but when we reconnected this morning, all the feels came out in an Oprah-level expenditure of emotional energy. I was ugly crying. My friend and I are good now, and I’m using that to buoy myself. So, anyway, I sat down, turned on Be Focused, and got to my first project. I’m not aiming right now to solve all my life’s issues today, just dealing with what’s in front of me now, impeding my immediate progress. I did it, y’all. I’m being…productive. SO…STUDY WITH ME!! What are you guys up to now? What do you guys do to “reset”?

ALSO, I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! Thank you for cheering me up/on :)

Hello! A lot of you have been asking me where and how I’ve learn multiple languages and well, after a few hours of digging through my browser history and bookmarks, I was able to collect all of these resources. I have personally used all of these, so I can assure you they are useful! If there is something wrong with a website or a link, please let me know. Also, if you have any questions or if you want a learning buddy, my ask box is open. (I speak English and Spanish. I’m learning Korean, German, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Italian, and Esperanto)

Note: Learning a new language requires a lot of dedication, more than you actually think! Especially if you’re learning multiple languages at the same time. It isn’t impossible, but it will take time. And by time I mean months and/or years! So please, be patient. Take your time. Don’t rush. Keep in mind that you will mess up and that’s okay. Practice as much as you can. Practice out loud. Talk to yourself if you can. It doesn’t matter if people think you’re crazy. They won’t be thinking the same when you become a polyglot, so don’t mind them. This is for you and your future.

Get started:

Everything listed below is FREE! Some sites do require you to sign up, but that’s for you to keep track of your own process.

Survival Phrases

have 3 achievable goals a day: having a laundry list of things to do everyday is super unrealistic, and you just end up feeling bad about yourself because you didn’t accomplish your goals for the day.

leave your sundays open: i love sundays because they’re my day to chill out and catch up on school work that i wasn’t able to finish during the week.

recognize when you’re at your emotional limits: forcing yourself to get work done when you are unable to comprehend your study material does not benefit anyone.

learn how to say no: people will ask you for your time and it will stretch you to the limit, whether it be at your job, in your extracurriculars, or in your personal life. know when to step back and say no.

take care of yourself physically: take breaks, go for walks, shower regularly, get enough sleep, eat healthy, see your friends

celebrate your accomplishments: go out to eat with friends after a big exam, indulge in a night off after a busy week with some netflix and wine

make a study plan beforehand: it can be daunting to see how much work you need to put in to a class or task beforehand, but this allows you to spread your work evenly so you don’t become overwhelmed.

learn how to ask for help: it is very rare that people make it through school, whether it be high school or university or any graduate program, without needing the advice of others or just a kind soul to vent to. find that person.

never forget your hobbies: you will need things that keep you sane. if you love to play music, write, play volleyball, or cook, make you sure you don’t lose these things. they will become your escape when times get tough.
