Tidied up my study spaces because it’s back to uni on Monday!

My mental health has been at its absolute worst this year and I’ve botched up both semesters. I got really frustrated and so I’ve decided to try out therapy. I’ve only gone to a few sessions but it’s been great so far. I used to suffer from (or something like) derealisation but now it’s more manageable and less intense. I’m beginning to regain focus and clarity and there are some days when I feel like: heyyyy I’m feeling nice wow this outlook is actually?? positive??? and rational???and healthy??? 

So I try to cling onto these mindsets as much as I can, but of course it's easy to lapse back into a depressive state and that’s happened a few times.

Just today, even though I woke up later than planned and didn’t end up going to the gym---if I fail a few tasks I tend to resort to hating myself, sleep for hours, waste the rest of the day/week because “game over”---HOWEVER I still managed to organise my week ahead??? It sounds so simple but for me the thought of planning and looking at my responsibilities head on made me askjfnblaskdjgba;dgbalgjba. Also, I emailed a bunch of my tutors to let them know about my situation and I got extensions in place. Right now, I feel responsible and put together and it’s SO NICE. 

I’ve missed feeling determined. I’ve missed BEING determined.

The first couple of weeks have sped by! Now that I’ve had a “feel” of my classes I’m gunna need to set a more specific schedule.

Preparing for the new semester: I’ve decided to repurpose spare pages from old notebooks and writing pads to put into my old folders. Instead of buying new stationery it’s always good to recycle! :)

It's been raining a lot lately too.

Hey ~

I’m Janss!

20. She/her. Filipino. Melbourne.  

Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Writing and Editing. Co-majoring in Screen and Cinema Studies.

This is going to be my studyblr/writing blog. I hope that in documenting my productivity (or attempts at it), I’ll improve my organisation and grades. Also, prolonged motivation would be nice.

I guess this blog is more for me than anyone else, but if you would like to follow/reblog my content that’s cool too! It would also be pretty neat to get to know other writers and/or students doing a similar course as me :)

There will be a lot of reblogs but I’ll be posting my own stuff too. Photos/words in my original posts are mine unless stated otherwise.

+ In no particular order: I loveloveloveeee TV series, books, coffee, digital illustrations, watercolour art, folklore/myths, cold weather, clothes for cold weather, activism, matcha, and the oxford comma.
