╰┈➤ 1/100 days of productivity 💌

First day of this new adventure! So excited to begin.

My deadline for the application at the Academy of Fine Arts is September 15th, and I have to submit a motivational letter and a portfolio showcasing my best works and abilities, so I really need to work on some brand new projects today and the thing I'm enjoying the most right now is making posters!

I also need to plan my week in advance to stay organised and be productive, so I'm setting up my tasks on Google Calendar since I'm rediscovering it haha

Here's my to-do list for today and what I've accomplished so far:

Write a motivational letter for my application at the Academy of Fine Arts

Plan my entire week (wip)

Design a poster

Clean my desk

Draft my future posts (yay)

Just received back the grade for the first exam I took – incidentally also the one I cared the most for, the one I studied the most for, and the one I thought went better (so far). It’s a B.

I’m obviously extremely disappointed. Granted, only 5 people got an A – but I wanted to be among those five. I also thought I genuinely did well. I wouldn’t have been too surprised if I got a B on the other exams, which I think went worse. But this one, I thought I covered everything I needed to and I can’t think of ways in which I could have improved my grade. I will request an explanation (because apparently you don’t get one if you don’t ask? and no solutions have been posted), and while getting one could help me for the future, it doesn’t change the current situation. It means that once again, I’m mediocre.  

I was hoping to get straight As, but clearly that won’t be the case. Yet, grades matter for my thesis supervisor application & for the exchange application & for applying to take PhD courses as part of my master’s & also for future PhD applications.  Why am I even here if I’m not getting As?  I don’t want to hear any ‘grades don’t matter’ bullshit, because grades do matter in my context – especially this one, in a course on a topic related to what I want to do my PhD about, in my first semester (on which all future applications will rely on). I don’t know what to do.

How to feel alive/stop being bored out of your mind, a guide for losers

jump on your bed, write something teeny tiny on the walls, break a small rule

get a dollar worth of pennies and write lucky on them and drop one or two at places you go

bury something small that you like in a place you feel safe

make a small bracelet/anklet, even if its just a piece of sting and never take it off

take a really really cold shower

go star gazing/look at the moon

write a letter to your past/future self

write bad poetry/nice messages and tuck it into books at the library

sit and listen to a song that was your favorite four or five years ago, don't do anything else but sit and listen to it

make a trash journal. Get a cheap notebook and write down EVERYTHING in there, carry it around with you. It will help you figure out who you are/remind you that you are a person.

when was the last time you felt alive? Like really alive? If you remember, write it down in as much detail as you can. If you don't know, write down a time you were happy or very angry. Honestly, any strong emotion will work.

create a bad drawing, like kindergartener level. If you want, fold it up and stick it onto your fridge.

block that person

tell someone how much you appreciate them

put old things you don't need anymore in a box, write take care of it on top, and leave it somewhere

write positive graffiti in public restroom stalls

bake bread

I have finally understood why my (surgeon) dad's gallery used to be filled with random pictures of cut open stomachs. My gallery is now filled with just coatings after coatings on aluminium. Once the research starts, it genuinely gets so exciting. I love the work here and I finally, truly, believe I have chosen the correct career path.

kinda happy that i'm not as chronically online as i used to be. i've been focusing on my studies, hobbies, etc and it makes me feel so much better. ofc i still have a long way to go but a phrase that is constantly running in my mind is one day or day one... like if i wanna be a certain kind of person and become better i should actually DO stuff that makes me better instead of thinking about that one day where i will magically get everything i want. that doesn't happen, i have to work for it. believing in myself is the first half which i have accomplished, the other half is working hard (with balance ofc). i doomscroll much less, and if i do i gain awareness of it very quickly and it doesn't surpass an hour. i don't turn on my laptop first thing after waking, i only turn it on when i i actually have some work or i want to listen to music. sometimes i relapse. but the point is that i've never tried more harder than i am rn and i am proud of myself for it. i am feeling seeing my progress. i intend to constantly heal and succeed and make mistakes and learn from them and never ever stop trying.

if i can do it you can too <3
