Today, I returned the Istanbul and I don’t know how can I tell you how much I miss this city in 3 weeks. I am so happy to be here and back to my studies. I don’t know if I am tell you or not but I am a work-lover person. Tomorrow, the second half of the 3rd year will begin. I am so excited because in this term I will take a lesson which is Neuropsychology. And I will take it from my one of the favorite professors at my university. My favorite lesson from my favorite professor! What can I ask for more?
Now, I am in my favorite Starbucks. I am planning next week, reading my book and enjoying my coffee✨☕️
28.05.2022 // Don’t ask me why I’m drinking my water out of a lemonade bottle with a straw. You gotta do what you gotta do okay? Anyway, my goal in life is to be as chill as that lemon honestly. I’ll let you know when I get there lmao (don’t hold your breath). ALSO I binged Stranger Things S4 last night and once again was reminded how good this goddamn show is!!
27.05.2022 // I keep forgetting to post this review on my bookstagram!!! Reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo felt like I was reading a beautiful love letter written by a person who has so much love but doesn’t know how to express it. It felt so refreshing even at the end. Also, I got these BTS themed earrings from NevermindDesignShop on Etsy aren’t they adorable?
25.05.2022 // No one point out the fact that I’m meant to be on a diet right now, instead let’s just admire how impeccable this scroll is. It tasted like heaven I swear. So… I did terribly in one of my last assignments and I feel a crappy about it; I’ll have to really give it my all for this next one.Also PSA I’m gonna start tracking #heydilli if you wanna tag me so I can reblog and boost ur posts<3
26.05.2022 // Finally trying out digital planners!! I heard Google Calendar is promising, so hit me up with any tips!! Also went perfume shopping to get my aunt a present and got tester freebies!!! Best part of perfume shopping I swear…. I’ve been dying to try L'interdet, but I’m broke so this is perfect!

24.05.2022 // Love it in the early morning when the library is practically empty. Never mind accidentally catching the wrong bus and being half an hour late because I’m too tired to function. Anyways, if someone can yell at me to proofread my work on a daily basis, I’d greatly appreciate it.
30.05.2022 // Got in to uni early today to study. The barista put ice cream in my overpriced coffee :( Daily prompt: the two realisations that changed me as a person are probably not so profound but they changed me nonetheless. The first: I just realised that I don’t have to take everything so seriously. The second: there is beauty in every moment I experience, from my lowest lows to be highest highs, even if I don’t see it at the time, it’s there.
29.05.2022 // Today felt like a real lazy day… I spent most of my time on tumblr -_- But I’m still trying to get used to Google Calendar and slowly working through final revision. You may have seen my 30dop challenge post, so imma try out my own prompt: do I prefer country or city? Definitely country, ever since I can remember I’ve loved the countryside, even if it can be inconvenient sometimes
So I’ve been doing this 30 day productivity (30dop) challenge and I didn’t intend on making it a proper challenge when I started but some people have been showing interest so I thought I’d just lay out some basics and also give you some prompts! By no means am I suggesting that I created this challenge, I know a lot of people do things like this, I just wanna help some people out.
The basics of what you need to know:
This challenge is open to ANYONE, studying, working, preparing for something, people who are just bored
You can start this challenge at any time during the year
‘Productivity’ is a purely subjective term. You may classify simply reading a book as making a day productive (it really does)
So basically, do at least one thing you consider productive, every day for 30 days!
Tag your challenge posts with #30dop so others can follow along; I’ll track this tag but may not reblog
If you dowant me to interact and reblog your posts, tag the posts #heydilli(this is my tracking tag so you can use this for other posts too)
If this sounds good to you, keep scrolling for some daily prompts!
excuse my terrible digital handwritingT-T
Some additional info in case you’re worried about any of this:
You don’t have to use the prompts I provide, they are optional (I probably won’t even use them for my own posts tbh)
Don’t stress if you post late/miss a few days, everyone knows I’m struggling too
You don’t have to post pictures if you don’t want to/can’t
Basically this is a very open-ended challenge you can mould it and change it however you want to suit your preferences/needs
If you need some help with formatting, you can either check out the tag #30dop or check my blog for my 30dop posts, but generally I recommend including these:
Day #/30; date; your summary of the day and answer to prompt; song rec or something you’re currently reading
And that is all I have for you guys, but if you wanna talk about any of the above or if you just wanna be mutuals, DM me or otherwise my inbox is always open <3
28.05.20 // Been really busy with planning my final research project of the degree. It’s really exciting to be fully in charge of the design, but it’s also kinda scary. Still in lockdown but have been enjoying the balcony in full bloom.
I don’t have a tablet so when I feel like scribbling without wasting paper I have to use my full-on graphics tablet. Feels a bit silly using it to draw diagrams and mindmaps in OneNote but hey it works!
05.05.20 // Another sunny day in lockdown. Starting to condense the reading I’ve been doing lately - I like to work with slides as ‘note cards’. It forces me to only keep the essential info, but I can still edit and refine them as I go (unlike paper cards; plus they’re easier to organise and flip through). Also started using my moka pot again so I can make nice coffee at home!
24.04.20 // Have my first meeting with my 3rd year research project supervisor soon and have a huge reading list to get on top of beforehand. Was extra sunny today so worked on the balcony all day.
Why is it always psych majors who feel the need to do the neurotypical equivalent of mansplaining about autism to me?
@neurotypical psych majors: you know nothing. Literally, you don’t even know what you don’t know. I do not need you explaining autism to me, I do not need you explaining implicit social rules or facial/tone signals to me, I do not need you to explain to me why the joke I just made didn’t come across as funny. Maybe YOU should work on understanding autistic communication, social rules, and humor? We do in fact have those things btw. Look up the double empathy problem. Y’all neurotypicals are just as shitty at understanding us as we are at understanding you. Probably more so because most autistic people I know actively study NT behavior from the age of like. Eight fucking years old. How long have you studied autism for? Like a 3 week unit on developmental disabilities in your Intro to Human Development class?
To help you understand, I have made a helpful diagram based on the Dunning-Kruger Effect graph:
Seriously, if I have ONE MORE neurotypical psych major start NTsplaining autism to me, I will personally show up at your college and deliver an eight hour lecture on how little you know about autism and why you should shut up about it and listen to the people who actually know what we’re talking about
