IF YOU GET TIRED, LEARN TO REST NOT TO QUIT

- Banksy

hey lovelies!! ♡ mindyyy here ~

november’s honestly one of my fave months… it’s like that soft space between chaos and winter, everyone’s slowing down but there’s still enough time to get things done. i’ve been sitting here just scribbling down lil goals i wanna keep up with this month. nothing huge, just those tiny things that make life feel more put together.

~ ♡ school stuff ♡ ~

go over my notes once a week so i’m not crying in december

pick ONE topic to fully master before finals (just one so i don’t overwhelm myself)

two solid study blocks each week. phone off, blanket on, maybe a soft playlist

try to finish one assignment early just to make future-me smile

~ ♡ cozy life things ♡ ~

clean my desk every sunday night (so monday feels less messy)

keep a blanket or cardigan right by my chair for study days

morning walks when it’s sunny. even 10 minutes feels so good

swap one coffee for herbal tea so i’m not jittery all day

~ ♡ personal little growth ♡ ~

read 20 pages of a book that’s not for school

journal once a week just about how i’m feeling (not tasks)

say no when i know something will drain me

try one new recipe or snack just for fun

~ ♡ mental care ♡ ~

one slow night a week. no work, no guilt

light a candle when i’m stressed and pretend it’s a reset button

write down 3 things i’m grateful for every sunday

keep a “wind down” playlist for nights when my brain won’t stop

~ ♡ my tiny secrets ♡ ~

i write my goals on cute sticky notes so they don’t feel boring

i stick them somewhere i’ll see every day (closet door works)

if i miss a goal, i just move it to the next day. no guilt allowed

i mark little “!!!” in my notebook when i finish something bc it’s way more fun

~ ♡ reminder ♡ ~

november doesn’t need to be about huge changes. it’s the small things. stacking mini wins until they quietly turn into something bigger. i just wanna make it intentional and cozy.

gentle hugs, mindy x

p.s. tell me one little november goal you have… i’ll write mine on a sticky note for you too <3

Traveling always resets me somehow, when I feel slipping in old harmful habits then I travel and feel recharged. Anyhow I'm studying for two exams and they are less dreadful than I thought, so there's that. I'll keep you posted 🙂‍↕️

The test was incredibly difficult, my professor super precise, but in the end… I passed it! (Photo from the last desperate review🥲)

Oh gosh, I can't believe it. I passed almost an year studying for this exam (for all the sections) and I'm finally DONE!
