September 29, 2021

Hello my fellow students! After a long hiatus and a long break from school I am officially back! I don't have a post schedule yet, but I will keep everyone updated. As for my whereabouts the past few months, I will address that in a post later down the line. For now I want to wish everyone a happy back to school season, I know many schools started earlier, but this is my 2nd day back. So to anyone just starting back and to those who have been in for a while, we're in this together.

Wednesday October 6, 2021

This term I started making new front page layouts for my notebooks so that I can find content easier when studying later. I got the idea from an old highschool teacher who had a similar table of contents idea, but I added a few more touches to it.

We start with the name of the class written out at the top

I added a key so that I knew what the colors mean for each class (I left my purple highlighter at home so ignore the empty spot)

My scheduled hours for the class

And finally the table of contents where I can write out what each page has on it.

Just a little progression of my notes while studying. I've missed coffee shop studying and I'm glad to be back.

After a long spring break due to COVID-19 my school is starting classes back up next week all online. I've never taken a term completely online, so this is going to be a new experience for me as well as many other students, but maybe some of my ideas can help you all out.

First things first, I have planned out my first week to help myself feel a little less overwhelmed. Getting into a new routine is going to be rough, but we'll get there. And you all are going to be getting a lot of pictures of my bedroom seeing as all of my favorite coffee shops and study rooms are closed.

I'll have more study updates for you all when classes start and maybe a little spring cleaning post.

5/28 Days of Productivity

Fri: What is your favorite subject/topic to study at the moment?

This term I'm taking a class called Ancient Mythology and Folklore and I am obsessed with it. I'm telling all my friends to take it. It is honestly one of the best classes I've ever taken. This week we're covering Roman mythology and last week was Greek mythology. It is a really fun class, we listen to a lot of podcasts and talk about our takes on the stories. I have even started writing 1 minute versions of stories that are incredibly amusing to write. Basically mythology is my favorite subject at the moment. Lots of fun.

Week 5/10

Real talk: This past week my mental health has taken a nose dive. I have no energy, I can't focus on school work, and I haven't been posting anywhere. I know I'm not alone in this and there are others that are experiencing this too. So here I am, admitting my downfalls, but refusing to give up. I got myself out of the house to study at one of my favorite coffee shops. I'm going to keep working and trying and here's to the hope that week 6 is better.

Also, I took my second stats exam this morning, so let's hope for an A together.

Topic of the day: Abnormal Psychology

Setting up my calendar and bullet journal is my favorite part of the beginning of the month. Happy New Month! Here's to making it through another one without losing it.
