day 1 of @studywitharmy’s 10 day study challenge: what self care did you practice today?
Today I worked on cleaning off my desk and sorting out my pencil case! I also washed my face really well first thing in the morning and let myself sleep in 2 hours later than usual after I stayed up pretty late last night. Sometimes, one has to compensate!! Hope you loves are having a great day :)
online pomodoro timer - perfect for days where you have several assignments to complete, this timer automatically tracks how many 25 minute sessions you complete, bringing up the five minute break timer between the first three, then the fifteen minute break timer following the fourth.
freedom for computer -this website blocks all but a list of websites you choose for as long as you need it to. i’ve found it’s great to keep me on task when drafting a longer essay i’ve already done all my research for.
forest for cellphone- i’ve linked to the one on the chrome store, but the best iteration of this app is definitely the one to keep you off your phone. something about having a small, fake tree’s life in your hands is very motivating and also frightening. plus, it’s satisfying to look back at your tiny forest after a long week.
quizlet- if you’re a student in 2021 and haven’t used quizlet what legitimately what you doing. while there isn’t the benefit of handwriting out flashcards and it’s a lot less aesthetic, it’s way more convenient for those of us with messy handwriting or who need to study on buses and the like. you don’t have to worry about dropping cards on the gross bus floor
notion- notion is already madly popular on studyblr, with many people making wildly aesthetic setups, but it doesn’t have to be all that complicated! in my opinion, lists are a very satisfying way to ensure you get everything you want to done, and notion is very nice for that. plus yeah the aesthetic arty fancy options are a bonus.
friends and family - okay this one is definitely a cop out because it’s not actually a concrete study resource, but i’ve found it works really well to make sure my friends and family are holding me accountable. for friends, this means warning them ahead of time if there’s going to be a few days where they probably shouldn’t try to make plans with me or expect me to be on discord, and for family or roommates this means reminding them to be non-disruptive. don’t be rude to your friends and family though because being a kind person to those you love should definitely should come before academic success.
setting up my notion for the school this year!! how do y'all use notion, if at all? i’d highly recommend it, but sometimes crossing off objects on paper is still more satisfying? hoping to create something to track my independent studies if y'all have any ideas. cheers! – august

as the year is almost over, i’m realizing i might actually miss every class besides geometry. my teacher was so sweet but shapes are hell and i do not know what an angle is. lofi girl please just do my homework for me next time
from last night’s study session with friends. slept after the exam because i only had 2hrs of sleep last night. i just ate a late lunch (possibly early dinner?) and now watching the last episode of 25 21!!! will watch another episode of bus proposal, maybe, shower, and study around 8-9pm.
a pretty slow but rad session in pharma this afternoon. was sleepy so i had a jasmine tea with me!! i am not over the tranquil, cold study vibes from yesterday so i put ac on, turned on the lamp, and put a fire crackling with a raining sound bg while studying
i’m going to memorize next what i just studied this afternoon (lipid-lowering drugs, GIT, anti-IBS drugs, respi drugs), have dinner, and go to my fave coffee shop to study with my med school friends the rest of the pharma topics for tomorrow’s exam (anti-seizure, anesthetics, drugs of abuse, analgesics, and anti-gout meds)!!!
3am. glad i spent the past 7-8 hrs talking-studying-laughing with my med friends. just showered. will study again in a few!!

from last night’s 1am study session!!!! would like to stay until 3am but my batt went out and my dog was with me so i couldn’t charge my devices inside. went home after and then further studied until 5am and slept for about 2-3 hours before my exam i just want to get another 3 hrs of sleep before i study for surgery!!!
despite all the midterm chaos, it has been raining since last night and the cool, damp air— the trees getting drenched, i feel at peace. this is your reminder to take it slow every once in a while, no matter how transient it may be.
hello, hello!!! studied all day and went to the gym afterwards. I just had dinner so I’m very sleepy. might take a nap before I continue studying!!! only 2 topics to go for my obstetrics midterm exam ☠️
