Making a come back to studyblr because god I need get myself on track this year. I am halfway through law school now and while my peers seem to be making decisions as to their careers and steering themselves accordingly, I am more confused than when I started law school! Love this for me.

Plus, law school was going great academics wise but the past semester turned me into an academic victim. The doubts and insecurities are really coming in full swing.

Okay. Can't really do anything about that now apart from putting my head down and working my ass off.

Please pray for me💌

im doing my dissertation on the perception of public opinions on crime sentences in england/wales !

Day 4 of 100 Days of Productivity

I hate revising/revisiting a topic. I don't know about anyone else, but I constantly want to be learning something new. Going back to a topic feels so tedious. I'll try to get better at this skill.

06.01.2025 you guys have no idea how long I’ve waited to post a gorgeous bowl of ramen🙂‍↕️

• Went to the lab and sort of finalized my model. I’ll go over some teeny tiny details tomorrow then start printing. I really need to lock in cause I want to be done by April. My productivity is so shit in the lab and I’ve concluded it’s due to the excessive lighting but there’s not much I can do about that.

• Worked on some Biomechanics Flashcards and general revision.

• I arranged for someone to look at the apartment. If she agrees to move in, I’m dragging her down to the office to sign the contract immediately. I’m not giving her a chance to get away lmao.

• I cleaned up a bit in preparation for tomorrow. Also my roommate has to pay rent for January so I get to stay till the end of the month while we find someone to move in. But she’s already paying for her new place so I offered to cover it but she said no🥹. I’ve been thinking of a gift to get her when she finally leaves cause she’s been so amazing and we’re hardly even friends.

• Finally decided to roll up my sleeves and start working on my thesis. But, alas, the template magically disappeared from the school website. So.

🌲: 49mins. My focus was so shit but I’m forgiving myself cause it’s my first day back on the grind😔

📖: A Little Life. I planned on giving page updates but I’m in bed and I don’t recall where I stopped lmao.

☀️: Had a study call with my sister that broke down into just catching up. Also called my brother and he shockingly gave me good advice. Spent some time with friends.

2025, week 1 (dec 30th - jan 5th) ✨

for this year, I felt inspired to take a page out of @lostlibrariangirl's book and try weekly posts! I like the idea of collecting little moments throughout the week & reflecting on them at the end.

this week was very strange and kind of difficult, tbh. I blame new year's day falling in the middle of the week - my routine-loving brain did not have a good time haha. I was also struggling to get some work projects done. I find that some projects flow really well, and others seem to drag on forever and make me question my purpose, but I suppose it all balances out in the end. I'm hoping that things will feel more normal next week, now that all the holidays are over. swinging between feeling super exhausted and super motivated is not fun :(

one of the things that I did this week was fill out a goals page in my 2025 planner! I wrote down a lot, but I think they're all achievable, and it's okay if I don't get everything! it'll still be nice to look back at the end of the year and see what I've done. there are some cybersecurity courses that I want to work through, and I want to properly get back into language learning this year, but I wrote down some fun goals, too! here is a small selection of what I want to try and do in 2025:

complete the TCM Practical Malware Analysis and Triage course

read a book in Spanish

reach 50 birds on my life list (this is a totally arbitrary number, but that's like 1-2 new birds per month which I think I can do if I really try) (a subgoal of this is trying to spot an american woodcock bc their range technically overlaps with where I live and they are so goofy looking. I want to see one of them doing that funky lil dance in person so bad)

mend at least 1 item of clothing

get a technician amateur radio license (everyone on my dad's side of the family is licensed, and I think it would be a fun hobby to get into as a combo of learning the science behind radio & also learning to help with communications from a disaster preparedness perspective)

I think 2025 is going to be a year where I have to keep reminding myself that I can do anything, but not everything. I also want to make it a year of reaching out and forging connections with people in my community & online friends. the world feels like a very heavy place more days than not, but we can get through it together.

some highlights from this week:

drinking lots of tea

settling into my 2025 planner

getting back into language learning with clozemaster & busuu

outlining & starting the first draft of a fic that's taken over my brain the past few weeks lol

finishing two projects at work so I can start fresh next week

✨CATEDEMIA 2025 STUDY GOALS

( 🪷 ) this is to manifesting a successful academic comeback and year <3 🕯️🧘‍♀️🧿

→ study 6+ hours a day

last semester was super tough because i didn’t practise a consistent study schedule and as a result i had a lot of syllabus to cover within a span of a few days

→ organise a study schedule

this includes planning which subject to study when and for how long so i don’t leave myself at a complete liberty and having a predisposed schedule which will ease up the to do list for the days

→ MAKE GOOD NOTES !!!

i practised making notes for year 1 and 2 however with law a completely new subject for me last semester i didn’t know how to study for it. so now i know having good notes will be super helpful for me now on

→ get my hands on previous years’ question papers

knowing the type of questions and the topics which tend to get repeated is such a life saver in college (!!!) especially a technical subject as law. i’ll be gathering as many papers i can, we often get them from our library or we can always ask for them from our seniors !

→ ROMANTICISE STUDYING (pls)

this is such an important thing to do, for everyone student or not. law is very dry subject and hence it can be easily be a boring thing to study at a length and so romanticising it is very important to not get burned out and actually make learning fun

[socstudies]

I should be sleeping but I can't stop thinking about my dissertation so I keep getting out of bed and padding across the cold floor to my desk to scribble some ideas down. and I just can't believe lately how lucky I am to have cold feet and goosebumps bc I don't want to forget my ideas before tomorrow.

like so many people around the world now don't have that luxury of a university education, so many people in my own country don't either. and so many people over history have risked everything by protesting or quietly resisting so that young women like me can go to university - go to school ! - and devour the library whole because there is so! much! to learn! and we are ao so sooo blessed to have access to rhe resources we do

Sun changes the city. People sat out on the street side, chatting, laughing, music fades in and out from a speaker strapped to a bicycle as it whizzes by, even a rubbish bag in Marylebone sweats pink like a wilting fruit

How to: fresh start.

Hi babes! Hope you're all having a great day. Now, I want to share with you tips that will help you FEEL that fresh start of the new year.

Digital cleanse. Cleanse your phone, delete unwanted pictures, screenshots, videos, documents, games, apps ESPECIALLY shopping apps. Why so? Well, let me tell you. You don't need your phone constantly buzzing with sales on stuff you already have or don't need. Those apps convince you that you need this and that when, in reality, you don't. You'll just end up wasting time and money.

Physical cleanse. You might be wondering what that is. For me, physical cleansing is simply taking a shower (could be a simple shower or an everything shower) and drinking green tea. Green tea helps with digestion, cleanses your stomach, and even boosts your brain health. You can drink whatever drink that is actually beneficial (ginger shots, lemon water, mint tea, etc).

Wardrobe. Declutter your wardrobe. You can donate some, resell some or even reuse (to clean, for example). Clothes are fabrics and fabrics are meant to have more than one use. Just get rid of clothes that you don't wear anymore or that don't fit you (size, style..)

Unsubscribe and unfollow. YouTube, tiktok, instagram.. just unfollow. You've grown out of phases, embrace that and unfollow people that resonate with the old you (who you love, but simply don't relate to anymore).

Rearrange. For me that's for my gallery, pinterest, and spotify. For my gallery, after I delete unwanted pictures, I create new folders for the ones I kept. For pinterest, I archive my old boards ('24 vision boards), create new ones, and update old vision boards. For spotify, I delete playlists I don't listen to anymore, unfollow artists and create new playlists.

Notion! I've been a notion user and lover for the past 5 years now and it's my planner, diary, journal and literally everything. Open a blank page and build it however you like, or choose a nice template and play around with it till satisfaction. Create a "reflection" section where you write about the past year and what you loved, hated, learned, etc.

Write down who you want to become. What is she doing, what does she love, what does she look like, what's her personality like, how she spends her day, what are her hobbies, what are her ambitions, etc. And may your visualization come true.

So, that's it for now! Love always, angel.
