She's releasing a fairy tale-inspired music video on Speak Now's anniversary I feel personally attacked in the best way

quick study tips now that I've almost finished my masters: follow study with me videos on youtube. download cold turkey website blocker on your laptop and liberate website blocker on your phone. chew gum while studying. play an instrument, knit/crochet, or move while on study breaks instead of going on your phone. always keep your study space clean. wear noise cancelling headphones with no music playing (that's my cue to focus). eat plenty always and bring snacks. know when to stop. learn when you focus best, and only plan to be able to work during those times- schedule errands / meetings / hobbies / rest during times when you know you won't be focused. schedule at least one full day per week where you have no responsibilities. if you're too tired to work, take a nap instead of sitting there numb and exhausted with dry eyes. you can skip class sometimes (trust me). know when "good enough" is enough (and when it's not).

Being a history major is you wake up, you read about the most horrifying atrocities ever committed before you finish your morning coffee, you write a 10 page research paper and forget to put a single footnote because that's a problem for tomorrow, you cry about the fact that humans have had vibrant experiences for millennia and we treasure the scattered remnants they leave behind, you catalogue 100 pages of meaningless government documents in an excel spreadsheet, and then maybe at the end of the day you get a waffle.

summer is ending, finally.

I absolutely love living with a bunch of introverts who like to party as an introvert who hates parties cus it means that during the weekend, I get to have breakfast in peace while all 6 of my flatmates are still asleep at 11am.

I have decided I want to start reading more again. I don't wanna just default to video games the moment I have free time. I have a few books I still haven't read and it's time I do. Once I'm home I'll pick out a book and just....start reading. Feeling weirdly excited for it
