hey study angels! ♡

okay so we have this gorgeous plan, but now comes the real tea - actually making it happen! don't worry though, i'm going to break down exactly how to execute your academic glow-up strategy. this little guide will help you make this comeback actually stick!

♡ week one survival guide

this is literally the most important week:

day 1:

set up your study space (make it cute but functional!)

organize all materials by subject

create your new schedule in your planner

gather all missing notes/materials

reach out to study buddies

first week priorities:

stick to your new schedule (even when it's hard!)

document everything in your progress journal

identify early challenges

celebrate small wins

adjust as needed

♡ making the daily grind actually work

consistency is literally everything:

morning routine:

wake up 30 mins earlier than usual (i know it's tough but trust me)

quick review of today's goals

prepare your study space

get in the right mindset (i do positive affirmations in my mirror)

organize materials for the day

during study sessions:

start with the hardest subject (when your brain is fresh!)

use the pomodoro technique (25 mins study, 5 mins break)

actively engage with material (no passive reading!)

take aesthetic but useful notes

check understanding after each session

evening wrap-up:

review what you learned

prep for tomorrow

update your progress tracker

clean your study space

set intentions for tomorrow

♡ active learning techniques that actually work

just reading isn't it, bestie:

the explain-it method:

teach concepts to your stuffed animals, family or friends

record voice memos explaining topics

write explanations in simple terms

create examples from real life

make connections to things you know

practice makes perfect:

solve problems without looking at notes

create your own practice questions

do past exam questions

explain concepts to study buddies

make concept maps

♡ dealing with motivation dips

because they're gonna happen:

when you're feeling unmotivated:

look at your progress tracker

remind yourself why you started

take a cute study break

change your study location

reach out to your study support squad

do something small but productive

emergency motivation boosters:

change up your study playlist

try a new study spot

use different colored pens

take a short walk

message your study accountability partner

reward yourself for small wins

♡ handling setbacks

they're part of the process:

when things go wrong:

take a deep breath (seriously, do it)

identify what happened

adjust your strategy

reach out for help if needed

remember this is temporary

get back on track immediately

prevention strategies:

regular progress checks

weekly schedule reviews

maintaining backup plans

keeping support contacts ready

staying ahead of deadlines

♡ progress tracking system

make it cute but keep it real:

daily tracking:

concepts mastered

time spent studying

questions/confusion points

wins (big and small!)

areas needing more work

weekly review:

compare to previous week

adjust study methods

celebrate improvements

plan next week's focus

update long-term goals

execution is where most plans succeed or fail. it might feel weird at first, but stick with it and you'll see the glow-up!

xoxo, mindy 🎀

My Experiences and Journey in My Chosen Course

Hi, I am a first-year college student pursuing Bachelor of Science in Accountancy at Sacred Heart College. Before entering my chosen course, I already had expectations because many people in Social Media are sharing about their experiences thus, I know what to expect. Although, I still got very overwhelmed. Many people are saying this course is difficult, especially for me, as a STEM student. My SHS strand were not aligned with my chosen course. At first, I was nervous for my first day because I was afraid I would not make any friends. Thankfully, after the first week, I already had a circle of friends who I can rely on, I can vent to, and I am comfortable with. I did not expect that I would make friends easily but I am so grateful to my blockmates who approached me first. The teachers were also great and although some were a bit strict, I fully understand why. Moreover, I like how all of them are direct and straight to the point. Also, I particularly like one of my teacher in a major subject. He really makes an effort to teach the lessons effectively considering that it can be hard for students that did not graduate the ABM strand. I also like that they are very hands-on when it comes to learning. For example is when we use computers in the computer lab, use books in the e-library, and others.

A memorable experience I will never forget is when I entered a competition for 'Buwan ng Wika' for the PPOP category. Through this competition, I really got to close my seniors who are very welcoming and kind-hearted. Because of them, I had so much fun and made me want to join more competitions here at SHC in the future. I am also very glad that I took the opportunity to join because I gained new knowledge, new friends, and new experiences. I am enjoying school life so far, even though at times, yes, it can be difficult, but I do not worry so much because I have my friends with me. I feel like I can overcome anything with their presence and comfort.

a faculdade anda meio pesada, não sei se sou eu que estou meio desanimada ou se é puxado assim mesmo. apesar disso, sinto que estou conseguindo absorver bem mais o conteúdo das aulas e consigo até fazer os exercícios! (shout out to meu psiquiatra que está me ajudando no desmame medicamentoso). é difícil mas eu amo meu curso e estou indo no meu tempo, fazendo o possível para ver as coisas com leveza.

A day in the life of a Tourism Management student.

College life is a whirlwind of lectures, assignments, and endless resets day after day. Mornings start with making myself a better individual, and trying to keep up with everything the life has to offer. In between, there are quick meals, study sessions with friends, going somewhere with friends. Every day is a balancing act between academics and social life, with moments of exhaustion and excitement blending into one.
