#studynotaesthetic

During the start of summer, I told myself to read as many books as I could without specifying how many books exactly. To my surprise while I was about to finish "Being Happy" by Andrew Matthews (which btw, I've read countless times already) I realized that I have already read 4 books! To someone who has a lot of things to do, I am proud of myself for being able to read more books this summer.

I am excited to share with you all the books I've read and the lessons I learned from digging all four of them LOL I can also tell that reading has become a stress reliever to me because whenever I feel occupied and busy with university and internship, I always end up reading a book and find it really relaxing afterwards.

This might not be the most aesthetic setup on Tumblr but this is what helps me get my stuff done.

I have med finals in less than a week now. I'll be updating my progress here as a means of accountability for myself and motivation for others(maybe).

Kudos to those studying in this cold weather and holiday season.

If you don't feel like studying (but really have to), just tell yourself "Okay, I will JUST study for 5 minutes, THAT'S ALL, just 5 minutes. Full concentration, no phone, no distractions, just 5 minutes.

And you just might find yourself studying longer.....

Sometimes you just need to get over that initial resistance and push yourself enough to start, especially on the days you really need to work. The rest will come.

Just start.

Look at you, look how far you've come!

You're incredible!

You've got this!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
