"Do you know what you say in dialect when you are feeling sad? he asked me. You say: it seems long to me. Which is to say, time does. It is the time that, when you are low, never seems to pass."

—Paolo Cognetti, The Wild Boy, 74.

14.10.2020 // i cannot keep my focus today.. might just take a couple hours off, an early afternoon break sounds pretty inviting, hopefully it’ll help and i can get cracking on some physiology work

day 14 - What are some of your study essentials?

here’s a little what’s in my pencil case:) it’s what i’d be bringing to uni if we had in person lectures... as it happens, we only have labs rn and i don’t need more than a gel pen and pencil with me, so most of these items have migrated to the drawers of my desk/pencil holders. other essentials i can’t study without include fuzzy socks, my ipad for note taking, and w a t e r (stay hydrated kids, be a hydrohomie (thanks @acadhr for expanding my vocab in the best of ways!))

golden hour + thesis writing! unfortunately i haven’t made as much progress as i’d hoped yet, had a rough couple of weeks but i feel like i’m getting back into it now. still very much motivated and still really enjoying it! all in all feeling stressful yet optimistic

november 10th

treated myself to fresh figs to make my mornings just that much better. also developed a new sort of morning routine last week and since then have been starting my days with half an hour of reading, listening and writing, before it is time to go back to business (accompanied by coffee and breakfast)

homemade ginger banana bread with almond butter got me through my day of writing yesterday and I (finally!!) submitted my paper on Butcher’s Crossing and slow violence. and now, we wait (and maybe bake a new batch of banana bread)

crisp november air. reading while waiting for my train in that beautiful near-end-of-year sunlight, and morning walks to the bakery for a flaky pain au chocolat

snippets from the first few weeks of the semester. finally feeling like i’m really settling in now, although current developments around covid are quite concerning here and at times scare and overwhelm me. however, i truly love what i’m doing (research master in literary studies) and i am very glad i’m able to do all of this

not so much study tips, more thoughts on university/studying in general

although these posts are abundant, i like to have my own collection of study tips/uni thoughts

- i've been viewing my studies as an office job, mostly because of the 9 to 5 mentality. i am not one for night studying, i have tried and tried and felt guilty when i heard others talk about their late night study sessions, but it is just not for me. which is fine, because with this 9 to 5 idea i have created working days for myself and i can use my evenings for extracurriculars, books, friends, netflix

- the train has (weirdly) become one of my favourite study spots. of course this really depends on the public transport you use. i am on a train for two hours a day, no transfer, and i either go to a silent area (have not yet seen this elsewhere, but dutch trains have carriages in which there is complete silence) or i put in my earpods. i love this because when i come home, i have already done so much work, e.g. organized my lecture notes of that day, inserted my professor's comments into my paper etcetera

- although i've also learned to recognize when i am just done. sometimes i have had enough and it is way better to accept that and then i either listen to some music and stare at the passing landscape, or i watch an episode of the crown. when feeling exhausted, there's no point in pushing and forcing yourself

- this goes for many many aspects: comparison will kill you. it is often still my tendency to compare myself to others on all levels - grades, kindness, clothing, weight, work ethic - but i make the effort to not 'indulge' in it. what my therapist told me has really helped: just notice that the urge to compare is there but then leave it be. like it's a tiny spider crawling on your leg; you don't have to do something with it

- on the topic of work ethic: don't listen to your fellow students. don't listen to what some wonderful academic says (online). don't even listen to what your professors say regarding study hours. it has often made me feel very uncertain, but i think it is way better to figure it out yourself. to build up a feeling of trust towards yourself, so you can really start to notice, to feel, when you have done enough. that is something only you should be able to judge and not some external source

- sometimes i get overwhelmed with this sensation that i have not done enough, that i am lazy and have accomplished nothing. however, every (every!) time i have noticed this to be untrue. so perhaps i have not studied every chapter, but i have studied other chapters. i found the cliché of looking at what you have done to really be true. it helps me put things into perspective, i think we can really underestimate ourselves in how much work we have done. what you consider to be 20% may actually be 60%

- motivating internal monologues are completely normal and actually very good! give yourself that motivating speech, it's like a snow track that becomes deeper and clearer everytime you repeat it

it helps me to look back on these at times, has been in my concepts for a while now (like some kind of motivating internal monologue) but i want this to have a place on my actual blog, because i believe tips like these (less focused on studying and more on coping with the whole world of studying/academia) are important as well
