I did lots of important scary form-filling yesterday to sort out my firm/insurance unis, finance and accommodation - it’s definitely real now! Today I’m back to revision and listening to some U2, who I keep saying I want to get more into :)

Integration drives me slightly nuts because when I know what I’m doing it’s kinda fun, but when I don’t it’s a nightmare… continuing with core pure review today before meeting friends later :)
All The World’s A Stage (Live) Album - Rush

I don’t like the fact that it’s May bc A-levels start this month now… here’s some (slightly chaotic) differential equations revision from this morning :)
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts 1-5) - Pink Floyd
i really need to remember that sometimes studying isn’t always possible. we’ve all gone through a lot the past few years, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a drop in productivity.
one of the hardest things about academia, for myself at least, is not putting yourself down. sometimes the only thing that’s preventing me is the fear that i’m not good enough.
yes please
productivity looks different for everyone; you don’t have to complete 3 papers, write an essay and read an entire textbook every day to be productive. do what you feel you need, and don’t compare yourself to others.
throwing shade on the weierstrass function
with exams coming up soon, i just wanted to wish you all good luck, no matter where you are and no matter what your qualification: you’ve got this. everything is going to be just fine.
i love knowledge. i love knowing even the smallest of things. i love translating text and finding hidden meanings. it doesn’t matter what it is, learning something new every day has always been a source of true happiness.
one of the things that i often struggle with is worrying that my hard work will all be for nothing, but then i think that in the end, the feeling of satisfaction in itself is enough.
i feel like people don’t talk about burn out enough. studying 8 hours a day can seem like a great and aesthetic thing in theory, but in practise it can leave you completely drained, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with taking a break.
