happy Monday ~ I’m having the day off, which is a blessing, so I wrote down some of my university notes, wrote down my full moon routine from this month and read a bit ☺️ wishing you a great week

Yesterday morning I had the round reading room at the library completely to myself.

If you think this sounds oddly specific, it’s because it is. As a child, I wasn’t particularly good at any extracurriculars I picked up. The only thing I was really good at was school. I got really good grades and all my teachers loved me, but that created a problem I didn’t realize until I got to the end of secondary school.

All of my self worth was based solely on academic performance. After having to deal with some mental health issues I couldn’t keep up with my previous performance and that took a toll on me. So here’s a list of things that will make you feel accomplished and don’t have anything to do with studying.

1. Cooking: I noticed that cooking at least one meal a week gave me a sense of accomplishment. My go to recipe is pancakes, but you could play around in your kitchen until you find your favorite. If you’re not experienced in the kitchen, start slow and gradually upgrade the difficulty level. I usually make breakfast because I love breakfast food, but this can be made any time.

2. Reading: another very simple thing that made me feel good about myself was getting my tbr pile to shorten. I think all of us have at least one book that’s been gathering dust but we never got around to read it. Well, now it’s a great time to start. You don’t need to read the whole book in one day, just a few pages is fine. Before you realize, the book will be over and you’ll be on your way to the bookshop to hoard more books .

3. Picking Up A New Hobby: I used to dread the idea of picking up a new hobby only to give up two months in because I was too ashamed of being bad at it. After I grew up a little, I realized this is So Not True. I’ve done my fair share of things. Drama club, tap dance, gymnastics, ballet, chess, choir, painting, volleyball... and I sucked in all of them at first. And that’s okay! The only thing I regret doing is quitting because of how bad I thought I was. I recently joined a volleyball team after years of not training and we made 3rd place in our school competition. Most of the times when you think you’re terrible, it’s just your brain being mean. Trust me on this one. And remember: you’re not too old to do anything.

That’s it! If you have any questions about how I managed to leave my academic slump just send me an ask/message about it and don’t be afraid to try new things!

3/100 days od productivity

Hi, i wish you a productive day 🤍

[rheajstudies]

I wish fandom would be treated like the lighthearted niche hobby it is and not like… a form of political activism which you must use to show off how woke you are

Today I have been learning about the composition of photographs, specifically for lifestyle and still lifes.

// autumn studying challenge ; day twenty-six

spooky or cosy mood?

definitely cosy! i’ve never really done anything for halloween so spooky’s not really my thing.

(also a side note: i got my first offer from a uni yesterday!! not from any of my top choices but the offer’s very achievable so it’s nice to have a fallback option)

If you’re feeling down or anxious today, you can pretend you’re in my room with me. It’s raining outside but its cozy in here. I’m at my desk writing, you can lay on the bed and read or take the arm chair. It’s really comfy and I have extra blankets if you’re cold. You want to borrow a hoodie? You want hot chocolate? You can look through my vinyl collection or watch a movie. If you want to talk, I’ll put my writing away. Or you can just sit quietly. Whatever you want to do, just know that you’re safe here. You can stay as long as you want and you can always come back. Everything is going to be okay x
