7.05.2021: Huh okay first original post after like 2 years (?!) of not posting anything of my own stuff... people on here are always like “sorry I haven’t posted all week” and I am like “hold my beer!” so, yeah I should probably receive a medal for that... I hope you are all doing well, are healthy and keep rocking life despite the whole COVID-19 pandemic situation since last year! :)  My dog and I have been back in my home town and living with my sister and parents since last March (aka when everything went chaotic in my uni town and every intention student ran back to their home countries), which has been pretty nice but also sometimes really stressful but c'est la vie, am I right?!) 

Btw I just realized that the light in my uni flat was the absolute bomb, especially in the early mornings and I really miss it (next to my friends from uni to whom I couldn't even say bye in person, because we all just went back home spontaneously last year and thought “we will be back in 2 weeks”)....

Just a short update about my scandalous life: I’m still studying psychology, still unable to multitask or develop a sense of direction, still otherworldly beautiful (okay I gotta deal down the sarcasm in the future haha), still a hardcore caffeine addict (it even got worse during the last few months which I thought wasn’t possible - is there some caffeine drinking record competition that I can enter?! Please let me know if you have heard of one - I would be a really strong competitor...! :)), and currently looking for master programs in forensic psychology (which, considering Brexit and COVID, is not super chill right now). Wow I just summarized a few years in one single sentence - what an accomplishment!  

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

think i’m finally ready to make the first step into being a studyblr and posting my own things!

i’ve revamped my theme to fit with my vibe and i’m ready to make my studyblr debut, hopefully not too late into 2020

hi, you can call me SJ, i’m 19 from london and studying physics with astronomy. i’m currently in second year but also i’m taking a break from my studies, and I’m hoping by becoming a studyblr i will be more accountable for keeping to my goals this year and finding my mojo again :’)

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

goals for 2020 are:

🌻 not! to! forget! physics! - just because you’re not in uni doesn’t mean you’re allowed to forget everything you’ve learned!!!!

🌻 take up language learning more seriously and increase my proficiency in french, korean and tamil

🌻 hopefully take up more artistic hobbies like reading and drawing, doesn’t matter if i’m crap at it, picasso did not emerge from the womb with an easel

🌻 post my progress, and post frequently

🌻 try and take up the 100 days of productivity challenge

🌻 be more active and do regular exercise

🌻 try not to get too caught up in the aesthetics of my notes, as long as i write something, it is good

🌻 get a freaking job and treat myself without guilt!!!

🌻 reduce my dependency on my phone - currently have huge separation anxiety and i’m going to think of how i can tackle that bc honestly it is quite frightening

🌻 don’t get too caught up in the numbers, i am doing this blog for me only
