hello my babygirls 🎀

as some of you might know, i started my professional bachelor in marketing & sales at the beginning of this year 🫶

it’s a continuing education program, which basically means: it’s very self-directed.

yes, i have classes every friday (2:00 PM – 9:00 PM), but outside of that… it’s on me to plan, study, and actually keep up with everything 😭

and there are 14 books I need to master by March 2027 📚💀

also, I’m currently balancing studying + writing 3 stories at the same time, and I’m slowly realizing it’s getting a bit harder to keep up with everything 😅✨

now here’s the thing… as a girl with ADHD, this is where things get a little… chaotic. sitting down to study? hard. not getting distracted? harder. suddenly wanting to write my stories instead? extremely easy 😭✨

so I’m coming to you for help 🫶

do you have any study tips, routines, tricks, or anything that made it easier for you to actually sit down and focus? anything at all!!

i would genuinely be so grateful for any advice you share 💗

I've seen people in a lot of Japanese learning communities tell other to never watch fantasy anime (or anime at all sometimes) or read anything that's not slice-of-life or actual literature because "people in real life don't speak like that"

And while, yes, that's true, native Japanese speakers do not generally speak like anime characters, uhhhh... The probability of me watching a fantasy anime in the course of a month is significantly higher than the probability of me going to Japan in the next five years. So understanding anime character speech is in fact more relevant to me than, idk, business lingo

So I’ve been in uni for like….*squints at calendar* almost 5 years, (yikes) and in that time I’ve learned the value of failing.

More specificly I failed a lot of tests, handed in a bunch of assignments late and what I learned from these experiences is that failing an exam…or several of them, is not the end of the world and perhaps more importantly not the end of your plans for the future. I was convinced at several points during these years that because I failed an exam or even a whole course, it would be the end of my academic future and possibly career. I never thought I’d ever graduate but here I am five years later with a bachelor’s degree and now on my way to a master’s.

Failing doesn’t mean you have to quit what you’re doing or give up on your dreams.

back to the grind except I have a raging migraine because I sunburnt my eyes ...... nice one

Today went well, I got my maker's stall concept approved by both professors. I do have to make iterations on them even further though, until something that all of us like has been designed.

I was tired today, especially since the 2 day staycation prior to this wasn't really a full on rest. But regardless I did spend my time quite nicely, I'm happy with it.

Taking pictures of little parts of my day like this helps me view my life more positively, I won't lie.

I've got work on autocad to do for tomorrow's ARC class, but I haven't really gotten to doing that yet. Class starts at 2pm, so the plan is to start working on it tomorrow once I reach uni at 11am and for now get a full night's rest. Just to help me stay sane and relatively alive.
