romanticize studying 📖🪽

• create a cozy study environment for yourself, no specific type of aesthetic setting but whatever makes you feel comfortable and motivated. It could be your room full of candles, a cute cafe, a garden, whatever works for you the best.

• find a playlist that motivates you and clears your mind during your study session: a vampire studying in a castle during 1800s, an animal crossing study call, a window view with rain, the lofi girl, etc.

• take the time to be proud of yourself. You studied today, even if it's less than what you scheduled, you should be happy about it, you prioritized your dreams and did your best, celebrate it.

• live what you are studying. In my opinion/experience reducing studying to a daily activity like another kills motivation. It shouldn't be something that you do, it should be something that you live and breathe.

• create a vision board of what your dream life should look like, how magical everything will be once you achive your goals. Having a clear vision is important to remember that you're not sacrificing your free time, you're investing it.

• find a study buddy. I never succeeded in this unfortunately but I'm aware of how much it can help to stay on track and feel less anxious. I see my brother studying on video call with his friends all the time, they go to the lectures together, to the library, discuss exams, give each other tips, exchange notes and find strength and motivation in one another.

• try as much as you can to see it as a beautiful game that you will ache. Keep in mind that studying is a privilege, it can be exhausting and make you feel burn out sometimes because of the school system but it is not a burden. You are seeking knowledge, you are doing something amazing, don't forget it. 🤍

happiness doesn't have to be loud, regular days are so pretty 🤍

Today is my birthday, I didn't do anything special, I made up a pretty set to blew my candles at midnight and I took some cute pictures, only my mom and 2 of my siblings were there but it was a really sweet and happy moment. This morning I ate cake for breakfast, I did a birthday cake face mask, received a cute plant from my dad , found a beautiful forgotten chandelier at home and my mom made me a special dinner with pink napkins.

it was a peaceful day, calm and pretty I would say, not the mainstream type of fun we consume everyday on social media, and I found myself thinking about how 3/4 years ago I wouldn't have been happy about it, I would have been there sad and frustrated because that was not what my birthday should have looked like at this age, but now I can see that would have been so so wrong.

Happiness or fun don't have to look a certain way to be legit, the media want us to think that there's only one aesthetic type of fun, that you need a certain setting to be happy. A lot of times you wouldn't even actually enjoy those things if you had them but they show to you that type of life so persistently and violently that it becomes almost impossible for you to believe something else.

Your type of fun, your type of beauty, your vision of what a perfect day should look like, your aspirations and dreams......everything gets roughly replaced by some empty ideas that don't belong to you at all and that wouldn't have crossed your mind in a thousand years if you had not been fed them every second of every hour.

All of this will probably sound obvious for some of you, and I'm really happy about it, but I know that a couple years ago these words would have helped me a lot and sometimes I still need to hear them. Mindlessly consuming perfect feeds and endless loops of tiktoks can make us think that our life is too empty, we see people younger than us "living the dream" and we feel behind, we feel left out, we begin to hate our regular days because they feel muted in comparison.

But all our days are beautiful and important, don't spend your time wondering if you are actually "living life to its fullest", just do what makes you feel good (as long as you're not harming anyone lol), and if you can't do it yet enjoy everything you can and live your days to their max potential, even when the max potential is good weather, enjoy the process as much as you will enjoy the outcome and be grateful for your imperfect little life.

🌸 May Plan 🌸

May is about to start and it is a crucial month for uni, this is the last month to study and plan exams before the beginning of the summer session (June/July) 📖 and I'm locking in 🤍

📖 organize a solid study routine and try to implement it as the days go by

📖 pick the dates for the exams

📖 build up a routine that allows me to be productive without burning up

📖 try to sleep as much as possible

📖 reduce sugar intake

📖 reduce screen time, no more scrolling

📖 try to walk at least 1 hour a day

📖 celebrate every tiny victory

📖 romanticize study

📖 don't forget fresh air and sunshine, a rotting brain will never work at its best

🤍 stay focused 🤍

Remember: you are an angel, take care🪽

☁️ handle yourself with care, never be harsh to yourself in any occasion, might be your hateful internal monologue or brushing your hair too strongly

☁️ take time during the day to pamper yourself and relax

☁️ don't give yourself an hard time, it's okay to say no when something feels wrong; if your not comfortable doing something, you shouldn't be doing that

☁️ do not torture yourself with past mistakes, you did what felt right in that moment with the knowledge you had and the feelings you were experiencing through being involved in that specific situation. You wouldn't do that again? Great than, you learned something out of it! Now let it go!

☁️ you don't have to convince anyone that you are worth it, if somebody doesn't see that you are great and that you are trying your best, walk away, the right people will come

☁️ remember, that sweet little girl of some years ago is still living inside of you and she's counting on you to protect her and realize her dream, don't let other people walk all over her

☁️ your dreams are important, the things you want are important, your vision is important. The people telling you that they're stupid or that you should pursue something different are just background noise

hope you're having a lovely day🤍

This is what the inside of my brain looks like <3
