Falling before the finish line doesn’t mean you have to stop running. Put in the effort even if you didn’t do something right. You haven’t reached your goal yet.

I have four days of pure studying ahead of me. And I am sincerely trying to not give up on myself. So to do so, I made a list of a few things that keep me going:
Watching Sab Yang’s vlogs and the effortless study vibe they give off (I definitely recommend watching!!)
Blurting and getting everything right.
Getting cozy in bed at night after big efforts.
Doing yoga to relax between sessions.
Learning historical fun facts that I know I’ll bring up at any given occasion
Drinking good coffee: iced latte, iced americano, hot latte, warm latte, everything latte.
Knowing that the more I put in the effort now the less I’ll be clueless during exam day.
Studying with friends that are as locked in as I am
Putting on my study glasses with thick burgundy frames
Eating a plate of sliced fruit
Telling myself that time passes anyway
Study blogs on tumblr (LOVE them)
Ginger tea!!!
Tidying my room (clean space is always helpful)
Peace of mind by not being stimulated by social media and short form content
Naps.
Remembering that I’ll get to watch as much going seventeen episodes as I want in less than a week
Imagining that I am a fictional character (wizard, journalist, college student lmao) and studying just like they would.
Doing crossword puzzles during breaks.
Effective studying doesn’t rely on burst of motivation but on discipline and willingness. These things simply remind me that studying isn’t so bad. It’s even fun when you remember how peaceful yet rewarding it feels at the end of the day!
Take care, and do it for you, lilyborngood :)
If you feel like giving up on studying for an exam, remember time will pass anyway!
Tomorrow I have an ENORMOUS exam to take and I barely covered half the material. At first I thought “why waste my energy on this when my grade won’t be the best anyway?” Ironically, I planned on just watching some videos about the course and then enjoy my day on YouTube watching other people studying. But I realized I could be the one studying and enjoying learning a bunch of new things.
I remembered that effort is never vain. Yes, I will not have a great grade. But if I study as much as I can now, I might get an okay grade and even if I don’t, I’ll learn from my mistakes. Time will pass anyway, might as well help myself from the future a bit, right?
Time will pass anyway, and in every scenario possible, tomorrow I’ll be taking that exam. So why be my own enemy instead of doing what’s best for me?
Trust me, don’t give up on yourself. Even if you might think you’re completely doomed, that’s only something you can change. Even if changes just a tiny bit. Because nobody else will do it for you. Nobody will study for you, and nobody’s going to make the effort for you.
Do it scared and annoyed but do it now and thank yourself later, when the time will have passed.
Xoxo, lilyborngood!
I just know the weather will be perfect as soon as I finish taking my history exam tmrw!!
Mama! A history study sesh behind you!
Okay so I took my final spanish lit. exam and I think I did pretty good! I’m so glad I can just throw out all those papers I used to revise :p although I admit it’s kind of bittersweet since I’ve been preparing for this exam since my first year of high school. (It’s like finishing a really good show).
Anyway, I still have to revise for my history exam. I’m missing some chapters and my classmates as well, and this is such an important exam it’s kind of stressing me out. This evening I’ll do my best to try to learn all the material I have. As for tomorrow, I’ll study the whole day but I’ll try do some research on the internet to find the chapters I’m missing.
My goal is to enjoy studying history despite stress eating me up!
Xoxo, lilyborngood!

It's noon and i haven't started studying yet even though my most important exams are tomorrow and Friday. I feel so distracted and a bit stressedbut no one esle is going to study for me.
So here's my study plan for today:
2 hrs of spanish lit.
3 hrs of history
2 hrs of geography
I'll make myself a good coffee, shower after studying or else my hair will bother me. I will NOT be using my phone except for flip since it help me lock in.
Let's study for a bit, yeah?
xoxo, lilyborngood ^^
Student reminder!
Do not let people, especially teachers who don’t believe in you, scare you from living the life you want to live.
That one teacher is an ass? They can’t take away the efforts and sacrifices that you’re willing to make to succeed. You can’t let them.
It may feel humiliating to get scolded in front of your classmates. But hell, I’d rather get scolded than fail because a moron made me think I wasn’t good enough.
Just realize that you let some stranger you wouldn’t even look at twice if it weren’t for school define your abilities . You are worth it. Everything you do is worth a try.
You surely made mistakes, everyone does. I did too, and I’m not proud. But we all learn, we all grow thanks to our own experiences. Not some stranger’s meaningless and empty remarks.
Until you reach your goal, let them not believe in you.
Let them speak, or let them ignore you.
Let them praise, or let them hate.
Either way, you’re good as long as you trust yourself.
Sometimes, I can't even understand the looks I get
It feels unfair at times, but
The countless versions of me made from misunderstandings
All of them are 'me' in the end.
(Either way, IVEÂ )
Accept that strangers might get the wrong idea about you.
But don’t become the idea they have of you.
Love and care, lilyborngood <3
School exams are coming!! Can’t wait to post study posts in here again :p
Not so study girl of me, very teenage girl of me
As a very studious girl, I’ve always wanted to experience going to an exam without having reviewed anything about the material beforehand. Just me, a sheet of paper, and sheer luck. I get to experience it tomorrow since I could not study (and didn’t not try to cram) for a mock exam. Can’t wait to feel the doom and despair of not studying lol :p My study buddies don’t do this pls im doing it for the plot and further character development ^^
I will update tomorrow and share my thoughts about the experience!!
‧₊˚ bring your focus back to you. ꪆৠ₊
let’s take a breath and bring your focus back to you. Ease up on the complaining and the need for outside approval. Just put your head down, do the work, and let your results speak for themselves. That quiet sense of accomplishment? That’s yours alone And stop measuring your progress against everyone else’s. We’re all on our own timeline. All that matters is that today, you understand a little more, do a little more, and push through a little more than yesterday. Small steps add up, and before you know it, you’ll be the one someone else looks up to.
up at 6:00, lights out by 23:00. Morning starts with a glass of water, not a phone. Open the curtains, let the light in. Wash your face, put on sunscreen keep yourself feeling fresh even if you’re staying in. Leave your phone in the living room, don’t take it to bed. A few pages of a book before sleep beats scrolling through videos any day. it’s not that you don’t have time it’s that you’re spending it hesitating, planning, putting things off. You keep saying you’ll learn that thing, start that project, become that person. Stop waiting for the “perfect moment.” The longer you wait, the harder it is to move and the less you move, the moooore anxiety creeps in, and the moooore you want to hide. You know how that cycle goes. You’ve got books to read, goals to chase, things to learn. That’s not pressure that’s a chance. There are people who’d give anything to start over, and here you are, already on your way. You just have to take the first step. Discipline isn’t about being hard on yourself. It’s about finally showing up for yourself. It’s putting the phone down when you’re tempted, getting up when it’s tough, and when life throws things off course, not quitting just picking back up. That kind of self-control? It’s steadier than any quick hit of pleasure. What really gives you a solid foundation is what you’ve learned, what you’ve saved, the confidence you’ve built, the things you’ve actually done. Nobody can take those from you. You don’t need anyone’s permission to own them. If you don’t take charge of your own day, someone else will fill it for you. If you don’t push yourself now, life will push you harder later. You’ve got time to waste, sure but that same time could be used to grow past where most people ever go. Working quietly isn’t about proving anything to anyone. It’s so that when the moment comes to make a choice, you have the confidence to take the harder path because you know you’re capable. Discipline isn’t suffering. It’s finally learning to be on your own team. It’s knowing you could coast, but choosing to take one more step anyway. It’s no longer waiting for someone to save u it’s pulling yourself up, little by little. While others are hesitating, complaining, waiting for things to line up, you’re already moving. You might seem calm on the outside, but underneath, you’re building, day by day. That’s real strength. Only after you’ve learned to stay steady, to keep going, to cross those mountains quietly, can you honestly say, “This life isn’t for me.” Because by then, you already know you deserve something better. In the days ahead, it’s not about who’s the smartest. It’s about who’s steady, who’s patient, who can keep going even when no one’s watching. Spend your time on what actually matters. Protect your energy. Build yourself up from the inside.
and when you finally get to where you’ve been heading, you’ll look back and realize: those days of quietly grinding , they were the best gift you ever gave yourself.

Studying History rn. France, just wait till I catch you. Just you wait.
There’s something so different about failing after trying your best.
Before, I used to study for everything last minute and give back half-assed assignments. And when my grades came out, they didn’t look good. At all.
I’d be so deceived, blaming myself, and repeating “what if I had started sooner?” and “what if I had taken the time to do it right?”
But there was a part of me that was relieved because at least I didn’t study my ass off to get the same result.
But last semester I decided I wanted to grow and get better, and for the first time in my life I started studying a week and a half before the exam. It wasn’t much, but it was the best I could do. I spent all day shuffling through notes, blurting entire lessons, and teaching my plushies all about philosophy .
When the day came, I took the exam.
And failed.
However this time, i didn’t feel frustrated. I couldn’t feel frustrated . There were no “what if’s”. What could I blame myself for since I already did everything I could?
Trying my best and reaching my limit didn’t feel like I wasted time. But, why?
Simply because, I tried.
And trying gives you something to be proud of. Trying shows you that you can change. Maybe the grade you had stays the same, but you change. You become a little braver. More studious, more disciplined, more accomplished.
Failing isn’t not succeeding.
Failing is not trying.
So next time, fellow students, try your best.
Or just try. And remember:
- Worst case scenario: you tried.
- Best case scenario: you succeed.
What a win-win situation.

Finished my history hw
Still writing my articles
Revised for a possible English test
I wasn’t able to post these past days because of a mini slump I had. I feel like I’m drowning, really. I have too many projects to complete, I have some final exams coming up, extracurriculars… But again, I’m so grateful for this kind of struggle. I know people out here are living a nightmare, so to be in such a discomfort because I get to be educated is such a privilege I wouldn’t trade for anything.
Also I really like this picture I took!! Pinterest boards know how to get me going :p

Finished my science assignment
Tried to bake a cake (failed)
Met up with a friend's to watch a volleyball game
I woke up naturally early for a day off (around 8 am) so I chilled and then got to work. I finished my science report which was so difficult. I know there are some mistakes in my paper but at least I got it over with. To celebrate my cousin's birthday j tried to bake him a cake. The sponge cake wasn't bad per se but I whisked the frosting too much and it became butter... I've always preferred cooking over baking anyway. Also, I watched a volleyball game with my sister and my friend and we got seated (mind you the whole city was here) next to a guy I REALLY don't like from high school. Literally right next to him. It's so high school movie cliché that it felt staged :') Anyway big day tomorrow, lots of articles to write and drafts to begin

Wrote a message to my penpal!
I didn’t do much today! Although I did watch two episodes of the Bridgerton’s latest season. I also watched Sense and Sensibility for the first time and this movie kept me on edge!! Jane Austen, the woman you are!

read my spanish book
went to a meeting for a scholarship
started doing research for my science paper
talked with an old friend
watched pride and prejudice again
Today was such a fun day. I read the book i had to read for my spanish class and i started working on a paper about climate change... While I was getting changed to go out, i thought of the particular feeling of summer in the early 2010's and even the 2000's: the early mornings when you woke up before anybody else, the boredom of watching the black screen of a turned off tv, hot windy nights, no phones, using the computer only to watch a movie from time to time, rusty bikes , people talking face to face, not phone to phone, cartwheels (so many cartwheels), friendships that lasted a day at the beach, piles of cd's, older cousins either being the funniest or the most annoying...
I decided nothing is stopping me from living this way, so on my way to the meeting, i took the subways for an hour with to phone, no music, nothing. Just me and my thoughts. I thought i'd be bored but my thoughts turned out to be quite entertaining.
Unexpectedly and old classmate of mine was at the meeting too. Him and i decided to take the subway and tramway home together since it was dark. He bought me a soda, which was super kind. We talked about so many things (series, old friends, studies, personal life...) and it felt like it was the first time he opened up to me. It was great.
Back at home, i ate pizza and watched pride and prejudice. Today was a very fun day.
