🎓 Bachelors Final Year — Week 22 🎓

Year-end wrap up challenge — [Day 24/30]

👟 steps: 3715 / 3000 ✅ 📚 productivity: 12h / 1h ✅ 📝 prompt of the day: ✅

I've been so busy with final exams that I completely forgot about posting lmao. I studied so much, pulled all nighters for literally every single exam it's so exhausting.

My birthday happened! I'm 20 now, and honestly birthdays don't feel special anymore. I guess that's part of growing up, it's just another day. Mom got me new plants though, so I guess I'm a plant mom again haha (the pic is from when I was trying to unpack the pots in my balcony, we ignore the almost dying plant in the background, I tried my best T-T)

I've been chugging so much coffee I hate it. But I don't think I would have survived without caffeine I'll be honest. It tastes so bad but desperate times call for desperate measures i guess T-T

At this rate I've given up on getting good grades, I just want to pass all my subjects. Chronic illness and burnout does that to you. I can't wait to get over with uni next year. Final year is sucking my soul out frfr

Well that's all the updates for now! I still have a couple of exams — on the dec 26th, jan 1st, 3rd, 10th, 12th and the 27th (yeah i know it's a lot the burnout is gonna be baddddd) but I'm honestly so done with this semester and can't wait for the next one even though I'm dreading it just a tiny bit (final year project, finishing two certificate courses, internships, etc) but I got this! I'll focus on getting through exam season rn.

Prompt of the day: something I could do for myself is...

I could give myself some grace. I don't have to bear it all alone and I can ask for help. It's okay to ask for help and communicate differences and misunderstandings without keeping it all to myself in fear of being dismissed. I need to be gentle with myself and listen to my body's needs. Oh, and also eat less kitkats coz goddamn I forget I'm diabetic sometimes XD
