18.11.19 || day 2/100 of productivity

I sense a bit of a colour theme here...

I’m ill so I took the day off to just sleep and drink tea. Sleeping so much in the day seems to have messed up my sleep schedule a bit, but I’ll try and make the most of feeling awake now by doing some prep for tomorrow

wisteria and snowdrop for the ask thing!!

wisteria; whom do you admire and why?

my parents! they’ve worked so hard to build me a life where i can go to school and live comfortably with them, they’re super smart and strong, i aspire to be more like them.

snowdrop; what does your ideal day look like?

waking up late, a sunny but cool day, going to a cafe to sit and relax, coming back home in the evening after having a meal out and just relaxing on a couch and watching television until it’s time to go to bed.

thank you sm for asking, love!

Get added to my studyblr list!

I recently created a directory of studyblrs in different categories such as level of education, country and examination type! I made it to try and connect studyblrs who are doing the same tests, live in the same country or have similar interests. 

I’m looking for new studyblr blogs to add in! Please reblog this post with the below information in the caption or message me your answers! 

1. Your studyblr url 2. Your current education level - high school, university (please include your major or faculty) or in grad school (please include your major or faculty). 3. Your examination system - e.g. GSCE, AS LEVEL, HSC, VCE, CBSE, IBDP, AP? (if yours isn’t listed, include it anyway) ((this only really applies to high school)) 4. The country you’re studying in. 5. Languages you’re studying (if you aren’t studying a language, don’t include this!)

For ease if one of these points does not apply to you, please do not include it! Just skip it. Thank you for reblogging! Hope you get find some new accounts to follow :-) x

17.11.19 || 1/100 days of productivity (again)

When I start working, I never want to stop

But it’s starting working that’s the problem

30.10.2019 || day 2/100

Things have got a bit more stormy recently!

Passing the time on my train journey with a bit of Shakespeare

Nels xx

[🎶 slipping - eryn allen kane]

[giraffe-stvdies]

So obviously in true studyblr fashion, I’m going to make a plan for how to get my sh*t together

I’m going to split it into two halves:

Health / wellbeing

Uni

Aight so first and foremost something I need to fix is

1. My sleep schedule

Okay let me preface this by saying I’ve never really been one for early nights. As a kid I’d read under the covers until the early hours, and I probably haven’t been to bed before 1am for the last 4 years.

But things have kinda gone to a wholeee new level.

At the moment I’m going to bed between 2am and 3:30am, then getting up at 6:30am - 7am for full 7 - 12 hour days of dance, acting and singing. And then because I’m so tired I’ll have a nap mid afternoon and literally forget what day it is!

I KNOW I need even more sleep than I’ve ever gotten before, but I swear l literally blink and it goes from 10pm to 2am !!!

So...

2. Basic daily shizzle

Secondly, is the basic daily shizzle like personal hygiene. Hear me out but when you sleep through your 5 trillion alarms and have approximately 10 minutes until you need to be in class, sometimes showering, brushing your teeth and washing your hair can take a back bench....

Well no longer motherforkers!!!

Honestly this should hopefully be fixed by just actually sleeping and waking up on time.

3. Following recommended medical advice

I have a few new things I need to be doing for my eyes and knees that I need to get used to putting in my routine!

I also have a little tick list of medical admin I need to do:

Call GP back to make welcome appointment

Register with dentist

Send off health insurance form to get money back on my physio

4. Eating properly and drinking enough water

My eating isn’t the worst in the world, it’s just that when I nap, I get really confused with what time it is, and sometimes I nap straight though regular meal times and just aren’t hungry any more!

Also, if I forget to meal plan and do a grocery shop, my food options can get a tad limited, and there’s only so many times you can have cereal for dinner

Hydration is also a big one!!! I am 100% not drinking enough water, so I’m going to try and always have my water bottle filled and near me.

So now we’re onto uni things!

I’m just going to make a list for these general things

Set aside 20 mins every morning and night to stretch

When I get in from uni, unpack my bag to allow shoes to air, write down any homework given that day, then do 20 mins singing practice

Make sure all homework tasks are completed at least 3 days before the deadline

Put oboe practice into timetable 3 x a week

Then there are a few things I neeeed to just sit down and do ASAP:

Research into and select colleges to apply for next year

Find out how to apply to each place and what the audition requirements are

Write my personal statement

Break portfolio into manageable chunks, and actually start writing it

If you’ve made it this far then good on you!!

I’ll keep updating y’all with how this goes!!!

Peace and love,

Nels xx

[giraffe-stvdies]

Hi guys!!!

It’s been a phat whileee since I was last on here so here’s a little update!

Finished my a levels

Got decent results

Moved out

Started drama school (!!!)

At the moment we’re on our reading week, and basically I’ve been having a bit of a tough time, and not really taking care of myself, so I’m going to try my absolute best to use the remaining week and a bit to get back on my feet!

As always my immediate response to being stressed and overwhelmed seems to be tumblr so here we are folks 😂

Feel free to follow along as I try to get my sh*t together 😅💪

Nels xx
