Long time no post!

I thought it would be fun to share a little bit about my revision process. This particular paper took way more rounds of edits than usual (my outline was crappy, so I was kind of working it out as I went along), but you can see clearly that the number of revisions goes down each time. By the last round, mostly I’m just doing grammar/clarity changes and a little more work on the conclusion. This one had so much revising that by the end, almost all the content from the original draft was replaced. It’s all part of the process!

I use a different color for each round of edits to help keep it interesting and reset my brain a little. I try to wait at least a few hours (though preferably 1-2 days) after writing a first draft to start editing. I always have to print out my essays to revise them! Not the best for the planet, I know :( After the final round of edits on this one, I went in on the computer and added footnotes and did a last check before submitting it.

“I must change my life so I can live it, not wait for it.” -Susan Sontag

This quote is what I strive to be for this new year. Big words I know, but something definitely has to change and I am so tired of not having a say and letting life happen to me just because I am afraid of change and failing. So far I tried my best to change my bad habits (aka procrastination) little by little and I am proud of myself for these little improvements! 

I also picked up bullet journalling again but this time my bujo is gonna be a lot more simple and practical than the ones I’ve kept so far :) Uni is already as busy and stressful as it can be therefore I gotta adapt lol

☁️ best tips for online studying

how to self motivate & learn on your own when your university goes online 

☁️ map out your entire course(s)

make a list of everything you need to know by the end of the term.

add HOW you will learn each outcome (textbook sections, online lecture videos e.t.c.).

make a list of all assignments you need to complete and their due dates.

☁️ make a longterm plan

add all important dates to a calendar. I personally prefer to put them on my phone and set alerts. 

make your own due-dates of when you will have outcomes learned by, based on when you will have to understand those concepts to complete assignments and assessments.

☁️ set up a work-only space

set up an area in your home that is for study/work only! make this a place where you’re able to focus without distraction.

☁️ mimic a class schedule

attend any live online classes as they occur

take notes from any pre-recorded lectures when you would usually have that lecture in a day

OR: make your own class schedule with the same number of hours per course that you had during the regular semester

keeping to a regular schedule ensures you’re on track and keeping up

☁️ ask for help!

don’t be afraid to contact your instructors and TAs!

                                        ☁️ stay healthy & safe! ☁️

nature is waking up, the flowers are blooming and the grass is getting greener

the picnics you are going to have

fresh fruit and berries

summer break is getting closer

laughing children

flowy dresses and skirts

ice cream, iced tea, iced coffee, everything ice

farmer's markets

long walks on the beach

finally time to focus on yourself

“Leave flowers wherever you walk.”  -Eloise Night

Uni began just this week here and while it’s weird to be back, it’s also quite nice to get into a routine again! Me and a friend went to enjoy the autumn sun and explore some alleys, bookshops and cute cafés before the uni stress gets too much. It’s crazy what you can find when you don’t stick to your usual routes and busy streets :)

Working on some APUSH today. I didn’t get back from church and lunch until around 1:00, so I got a pretty late start to my homework today! Finals are coming up, but I’m not as worried for them as I am for the AP test. We’re only on Chapter 13 of like 40 chapters, so 😬.
