self care for students

[43/100] I got myself a new memo pad and I like it a lot 🐻

study inspiration 💭

I’ve never done one of these before and I was heading out to do some studying in town and I thought it’d be fun? Maybe I’ll do another one sometime, because there wasn’t much in there tbh! Anyway, productive day - I am so glad to be back at uni, even if I can already tell how busy this year is going to be. Hope everyone’s return is going well! 

Another study session in the nearby coffee shop ☕

job apps are not! my fave! new plan: start a business fixing & editing all of the websites i’ve come across while checking out companies. if i have to read through another ‘about us’ page that is: a) grammatically incorrect and b) full of typos, i will absolutely scream

141119// transcribing a 30-minute-interview today and the only way I’m surviving is with chocolate cake. The interview is for a project related to one of my exams.

My peers thought I was crazy for already watching classes online and typing them out during summer holidays, but I’m glad I did it. Now I can get to the actual studying a lot sooner, so I’ll hopefully be less stressed during my finals.

Anyway, I hope everyone’s having a good day 💖

14.11.19 // getting ready to spend all day on campus - who can relate?

a couple of photos i took yesterday but completely forgot to post) 

i have no class today so all ive done is take notes for about 20 minutes and then watched american horror story for three hours straight 🤔 balance is everything amirite??

the temperature hit 27 degrees f (-3 celsius) today so i’m bundled up in my room with thick socks and cozy blankets, trying to accept the fact that this is the new reality for the next 5 months 🌨

yesterday i found out that i got the funding to start my phd at the university of sheffield in september. it still really hasn’t sunk in yet and i don’t even know what to do with myself. this is something i’ve been dreaming about and working towards for the past four years throughout my degrees and i really can’t believe that it’s finally coming together. all throughout applying i’ve been aware of how extremely competitive getting phd funding is, and how unlikely it is to get it the first time, so i’d prepared myself for bad news. so much is going to change and i am absolutely terrified, but also incredibly excited to start something new and spend three years doing something i’m so passionate about. i’m going to be a dr (of philosophy) !!
