#sixth form
You know what… I’m finding school so hard. Online lessons are draining. I cannot finish my work. I’m submitting work as soon as I’ve done it without crafting it like I used to, just so I can finish. I’ve got four assignments due in for tomorrow and 5 overdue assignments, some from last year.
It’s completely normal to feel a complete mess right now. At least that’s what I tell myself in an attempt to get any work done. One day this will be over and maybe I will enjoy learning as much as I used to.
And to make this confession I decided to take a nice photo of the only work I’ve done today and put a nice filter on it.
Basically I think I just want to say don’t be fooled by social media. I have lots of nice pictures of my work and study materials, yet I don’t post pictures of my exams that get 14/30 marks.
This too shall pass :)
trying to get back into latin and greek while running behind on every single other subject i’m doing! (and of course doing my biology work!)
i wish i was more productive
I treated myself to the new stabili boss highlighters and OH MY the green is cute. It’s like a limey green but not neon!? Gorgeous?!

Yes I complain that I don’t have enough time to get all my work done.
Yes I just started learning Japanese.
We exist
because i have made mistakes,
i am able to forgive others their mistakes.
Hello! I’m back after a while ☺️
I hope everyone is well and fighting through quarantine. I’ve found it so draining and difficult to even get through each day.
I think studying has been one of the ardest things for me this year. Finding my motivation to study BY MYSELF? Who’s she?
I ended up just telling myself “do 15 minutes. Even if you finish that and can’t do anymore, at least you have done some.” And usually you find once you’re in the swing of it, finding your motivation becomes easier.
But of course, some days I don’t study. I can’t even bring myself to. And that’s ok. Because school work will NEVER matter more than your wellbeing and mental health. Grind culture is toxic especially for young people. It’s ok to do nothing all day. It’s ok to do nothing all month. As long as you are asking for help and finding ways to get your mental health back on track.
If anyone needs to send me a message you can! Send them my way :)
Hello! I’m back! I haven’t been posting as much because of how difficult I’ve been finding lockdown. My studying routine has gone out the window (literally and metaphorically, my post it notes flew out the window today!). I just want to remind everyone that we must be kind to ourselves at a time like this. You are so strong for getting through each day even if it’s only by the skin of your teeth. I love you. ❤️❤️
Working during the last free period before school closes due to the corona virus. I can’t say I’m not a bit worried. I think it’s going to be a big change and it’s going to be very hard to stay isolated for so long. I think it will be such a big change to my life that it will take some time to get used to. Just things like hanging out with friends I’ll miss a lot. But hopefully, it will be safe soon and I wish everybody with corona virus a speedy recovery and mild symptoms ❤️ this too shall pass
Today I was revising for my biology test. It was so loud everywhere today and so I was soooo tired. But, listening to TXT always puts me in a good mood :) .
❄️✨ busy day
So my music theory test is tomorrow and I am unsure of how I feel. I will be glad to get it over with because I didn’t particularly enjoy it, however I do not feel ready for the exam. There are so many language terms you need to know and they’re really hard to memorise.
My plant has also grown a little dude. I don’t know plant terminology
Being productive in my mostly free day. I always love free periods when I can just get bits and bobs that have piled up finished.
I did the biology test that I was revising for in my last post and I’m a bit disappointed with my results. I got just below half marks which is by far the worst marks I’ve got on a test before. Despite this, I’m feeling ok about it. I was expecting my grades to drop when I entered sixth form as I was told that it was the norm, so I was just waiting for the test where I would perform poorly.
So basically, despite feeling disappointed, I’m actually quite glad I’ve done especially poorly on a test because it was getting a bit too good to be true with my grades . Now, I can just work on improving my exam skills.
Yesterday I went to Oxford University for a course I’m doing and every time I go, I fall in love with the university. It has such a special place in my heart, I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been so often for my course, but I really can see myself going here for university.
The only issue is that I want to do Korean studies which they don’t offer at Oxford. I also want to do it joint with music and the music course at SOAS is much more to my taste in terms of the curriculum. But, the good thing is that I also really saw myself going to SOAS. I loved the campus and everything about the courses. It really just called out to me I think.
Well, I still have time left to decide. I’m going to look around at other places because I don’t want to get my heart set on one place without looking around for my best options. It’s so scary picking a university because it’s such a big decision in my life. I hope that in the next year I make up my mind though!
So I’ve been revising for my biology test and my teacher was ill today, so I can do it whenever I want. But I’m glad I did so much revision for it because I got it out of the way.
And I’ve got a really hard French essay due in as well which of course I’m not prepared for. I have enough time to finish it though so I’m trying to be productive today!
I think I’m going to do a post about my top songs of the year so far because I’ve been finding some absolute gems this year.
After not doing particularly well in my music test, I’m hoping that with a bit of extra work I can bring up my grade. Music is the one I’m struggling with the most- it’s so picky and specific.
But here are my finished notes for Biology. I wanted to be super productive in this study period so I’m happy that I finished all the cover work and homework for my class. Just need to finish French now!
Thank you to everyone who has liked and shared my posts- it means a lot. It is lovely to share my study journey with anyone who will listen, however few people, but it is always nice to see that lots of people have been liking a post.
Thanks everyone! ✨❤️
All of my teachers were absent today so I had no lessons. I went on a lovely walk to get myself focussed and then did my French work. Now I’m just working on my biology cover work.
I’ve been finding so much new music nowadays which has been lovely.
Hope you are doing well!
We’re currently learning the difference between indirect and direct pronouns in French and I made some rather scruffy but informative notes on it.
I had a biology test today which I was not really too worried about because I did all the practice questions in my textbook. It went well, but the markscheme is so picky and specific that I lost quite a few marks from silly mistakes.
Anyway, I had a good day today, I made some courgette fritters as a snack and that took me an hour (I know…?) anyway so I’m a bit late getting to study so the light isn’t that great.
I hope everyone is doing well.
First day back to sixth form:
Honestly, the first day back could’ve gone better. It was strange as my whole college is now a one way system and you have to wear masks in communal areas (basically just the corridors). You have to book slots for the library when you used to be able to just walk in freely.
However, my timetable isn’t all too bad as I have Wednesday off each week! I had psychology and photography today, we briefly went over what we did in lockdown and started circadian rhythms in psych. I’m excited for this year, hopefully I can book enough slots for each week in the library :)
ppl in year 6 on social media are more motivated for their SATS than I am for my for my a levels rn
i made a support group server for anxious teens in education (anyone at all that’s studying can join)! here’s an infinite link, please signal boost! https://discord.gg/bc6vRbz
