*cleans my cluttered desk to take aesthetic pics of it*

i haven’t been doing anything studyblr-related lately, just reading a lot. it’s hard to combat the feeling of not being productive enough. i’m looking forward to next semester to have a sense of purpose again lol

24/30 days of self care

Today I finished working on the first set of documents I photographed at the archives. With this I am more or less done with the reports of the interrogation of one of the three women accused of witchcraft I am working on. Since the majority of my work at the moment has been research based, I have this constant feeling pf not doing enough, because at the end of the day I mostly read stuff. So I decided to do a list of all the thesis related things I accomplished since exactly a month ago when I went to my first in person meeting with the professor who is helping me in my work. This process was so beneficial for my mental state at the moment, I realized how much I actually got done in a month, and I recommend this to anyone who is doing a similar work. I also practiced Irish on duolingo during my lunch break, and I took the afternoon off to catch up with a friend to get gelato together. Self care things I did:

Read first thing in the morning

Did some drawing and creative work in my new bullet journal

Created the productivity list of my last month of thesis work

Took the afternoon off

Day Twenty-Eight:  What time do you usually go to bed? Do you have a bedtime or night routine? If so, share it with us! If not, what helps you get to sleep faster?

I don't really have a bedtime routine, I just brush my teeth, wash my face and try to read for more or less half an hour. I go to sleep quite early, I like to wake up early in the morning so by 22 I am in bed reading,more often than not even a bit earlier than that. To sleep faster, other than avoiding watching at screens for at least half an hour as I was mentioning, I normally get melatonin gummies. They have been very helpful in these past months. The thing is, although my sleep schedule is very regular, as soon as I am a bit more stressed and anxious than usual, sleep is the first thing that has consequences. I struggle falling asleep, I wake up multiple times, I have long periods of continuous nightmares. So I do everything in my power to help with sleep. Especially since as soon as I am slightly sleep deprived I become another person, I am much more easily annoyed and I just feel more tense and generally angry which I do not like at all.

MARCH DESKTOP WALLPAPERS

Hey everyone! Spring semester started last week, so I’ve been busy yet again, but fear not, I didn’t forget about the wallpapers :) I’ve made a couple fun designs just in time for International Women’s Day on the 8th, let’s go ladies!

This month’s designs are:

minimalist floral

minimalist floral 2.0

International Women’s Day specials: maxi pattern and simplistic

quote of the month:  women like you drown oceans. (→ in Quotes folder)

I’ve included both Monday and Sunday start calendars, and there are multiple colors available: from pastels to muted shades, to black versions for those who prefer a dark theme.

you can find the wallpapers here

✎ LIKE/REBLOG if you like and/or use the wallpapers so more people can see them :)

do tag me in your posts if you post pics of them (#bulletnotestudies), I love seeing how they look on your laptop/tablet :) and if you have requests for April, let me know - new designs, designs you want to see again, new color schemes, any holidays you celebrate, all wishes are welcome!

and lastly: please don’t repost these or claim as your own, as i did spend quite a lot of time designing them

13/09/2017 || I’m actually learning to like studying in the morning 😱

here is my brand new challenge! i’ve known that i was going to do this challenge since i started my summer challenge in july so i am so psyched to be able to finally share it with you guys! i hope that you will enjoy it <3

DISCLAIMER: lots of the prompts in December are to do with Christmas because that is what i celebrate at this time of year. i was very aware of that when i was writing the prompts but i did not think that knew enough about other festivals and holidays at this time to write prompts about them. i did not want any prompts i made to be disrespectful. if you don’t celebrate Christmas, please know that this challenge is still for you! you can either just use the prompts anyway (if they are applicable) or adapt them to fit the festival or holiday that you celebrate. if it is impossible to adapt, then simply tell me about what you celebrate because i am excited to learn about them! [this was edited later because i realised i forgot to add it - thank you to the anon who queried this issue for reminding me <3]

What would be your advice to you from five years ago?

I always regret not shooting my shot for friendship in classes that I sometimes think about them after the course is over (what could have been a great friendship). Be that fucking person and say ‘hello’ first. Just stop holding back.
