School System - Blog Posts

I remember in 7th he grade, I’d always ALWAYS fall asleep in my second period. It really annoyed me, but I just could not stay awake. My teacher was always nice about it and even when she woke me up, it was always very kindly. Outside of the bubble of that specific teacher, sleeping in class has always been kinda like it’s described above. But the one teacher actually understood that it was something I needed, and I still think about her sometimes :) it’s not hard to be kind, but it can leave every lasting impression.

It's been awhile T~T

School has decided to swamp me with homework for the last two weeks of the semester, I haven't had any chance to sit down and draw! I've done some writing and have a general idea of how I want to tell the story of The Phantom's Façade AU...

It's going to be short stories with a full illustration each. I've got three written so far and a fourth in the works, but they're only five hundred words each... Obviously there'll be a big overarching story-

Anyway, I don't know how much progress I'll make on anything art related until the start of the second semester, sorry!

HERE! HERE!

But really though, school lunches should be free. It's a good thing to have a reduced/free lunch based on family income but having to watch someone who doesn't meet the requirements for that and having to watch them get rejected food is aweful and heartbreaking.

---- 1/10/2024 entry

* It's finally october, yay! I love fall, it's so cozy and its perfect for staying inside, sleeping, reading or baking. It's also the month where i will start my diet and working out again, since tomorrow ill have a mini treadmill!

* Today was fine, ig. I had two tests at school and got A's from both. After school I slept the whole day. The only thing that makes me kinda mad is that I have two freaking pimples on my forehead, ughhh I hate getting my period.

* Did yall heard about the Diddy situation? I digged so much into it, spent 3 hours straight watching YouTube videos about it that I don't think I'll sleep tonight. Im just so sorry for his victims - he's disgusting and he's gonna rot in hell. I also believe he killed Tupac..

* That's it for today! Ik, pretty boring, but a journal is a journal, so I had to write an entry loll !! Bye angels xx 🩷🪽

🍂 School day update

It's the first day, it was fine. Not good, not bad. My 'best friend' was of course talking with the girl from her class she 'hates' and she was ignoring me. I hate her, ill just hang out with my cousin and my life long best friend and not that hoe

First day of school 🏫🍂

Sunmer passed so fast, it was fun and i have a lot of menories, but August was getting so boring, i just wanted summer to pass and fall to come. I'm kinda excited ngl haha, i love studying (especially biology and chemistry) so this fall will be a Gilmore Girls fall!! (or gossip girl, but just the aesthetic). My backpack is really heavy cause i have books and self care things like makeup or a hairbush in case if an emergency. I hope today will be calm and just the way i imagined it to be! 🧡

These policies can help to improve the mental health of students

So like. Ive always been a good student and all but. um. the workload recently has been insane and like at least once a week i contemplate skipping school to work on school work. there’s smth wrong with the school system if I, a model student, wants to skip school TO DO SCHOOL. I literally do not have enough time to do hw that I would rather stay home, not to do whatever, but to catch up on all the work. What is this horrible downward spiral???

This is brilliant and should be brought to schools everywhere (x)

i wish learning was fun again :/

I’m so tired of the goddamn school system making me and everyone else forget that we actually like learning. Like, humans are curious!! Kids are extra curious!!! We love to learn new things! I watched nature documentaries for fun when I was younger!!! I devoured books! But our school system teaches kids that “learning” means crying your eyes out if you don’t memorize eighty things within two days and I hate it so much!!! You are literally ruining the brains of children and teaching them to hate learning!!!

back-to-school thoughts

When I was a kid, the end of the summer holidays always brought around a wave of excitement. As much as I loved the six weeks we got off, going back to school was a whole new level of excitement. Going back to school meant a new start (I think my brain still functions on a September-to-September calendar), seeing friends I hadn't seen in all summer, and the opportunity to reinvent myself.

I would spend hours upon hours watching 'DIY stationery tutorials' and 'What's in my Bag' videos to try and recreate my image in the days leading up to the beginning of the year. I'd collect all my newest pens and pencils (which I would inevitably lose before the Christmas holidays) and pack my bag and anxiously wait for 8am the next morning so I could run off to school.

I couldn't wait to see which teachers I'd have, who was in my classes, and how I'd stack up against the milestones of getting older.

Now - as an adult in university who pretty much hated her last few years of school - the last few weeks of summer are rife with stress. The simplicity of childhood excitement has been replaced with a complicated cocktail of deadlines, money stress, and the pressure to constantly perform.

Yeah, university can be fun. I love my friends, I love my freedom, and I love the satisfaction of achieving my dreams. But the joy of learning that I felt when I was younger often feels crushed beneath an avalanche of essays, group projects, and the constant mental math of wondering where this takes me.

I sometimes think about the younger version of me - who read academic journals for fun - and wonder if I'll ever recapture the carefree excitement of a new academic year.

Maybe it’s not about recreating that feeling but reimagining it. It’s not about colourful pencil cases or new backpacks anymore (although, I love me a nice, new notebook or some cute pens). It’s about finding small joys in the chaos - coffee with friends, a doughnut during exam season - and reminding myself that growth, no matter how daunting, is worth it.

So here’s to all of us still navigating education, whether you are at school or university. I hope that this year is the best it could possibly be, no matter what your best looks like.
