fall '23 challenge day one

day 1: what classes are you taking this semester and which are you most excited for?

I am taking 18 credits this semester split up between six classes. on mondays and wednesdays I only have one class which is digital imaging which is basically just photography. I am also helping out with the tv news class this semester.

on tuesdays and thursdays I have reporting and news writing as well as intro to video production. also I have a once a week class on tuesdays which is called journalism in film that's two and a half hours.

along with my in-person classes I am taking two asynchronous classes which are nutrition and intro to sociology. I am horrible with online classes so let's hope that I do okay in these this semester.

on top of all these I am in a sorority where I am the membership and recruitment director, I am a writer for my school's newspaper, I am a secretary for another club, and I'm trying to gauge interest for another one.

I am definitely excited for journalism in film we'll basically just be watching a bunch of movies together. I am also very excited for nutrition as it has been something I have always been interested in. Intro to video production is another one that I'm really looking forward to, because I love working with video and we get to produce variety shows at the end of it. the last one I'm excited for is sociology because I think I am going to love my professor. I think this just goes to show that I am really excited for this semester.

fall '23 study challenge

here's the first two weeks of the challenge. since i have not finished writing it.

day 1: what classes are you taking this semester and which are you most excited for?

day 2: how many books do you want to read this semester?

day 3: what was your favorite thing you did this summer?

day 4: what are you studying in school? if you work, what do you do?

day 5: what is your favorite food to eat when you’re not at school?

day 6: what are you most excited for this semester?

day 7: how do you keep yourself organized?

day 8: week two check in

i am not very good at this but i'm trying my best and that's all that matters

wed. 1.11.23 - what is your favorite weather to study in?

my favorite weather is easily either a super stormy night or a colder, windy day that's still sunny. i love having my window open in the winter and being able to feel the wind.

tues. 1.17.23 - how many books do you want to read this semester? this year?

my goal for this year is i think 20? i want to hit around that point, and i'm gonna try for 5 during the semester. i think that will allow for an achievable goal, while still focusing on my school work.

wed. 1.18.23 - what is your favorite place to eat on campus?

the market in between towers or the den. i get a popcorn chicken sub with pepperjack and mayo, honey mustard (the best condiment imo), lettuce, onion, and pickle. and then i go to the den and get an oreo milkshake made with strawberry ice cream. best combo. just off of campus is a really good pho place that i like though.

thurs. 1.19.23 - what is your favorite habit you’ve picked up since being in college?

easily going to the gym. i've been having so much fun creating workouts and i've been able to see myself getting stronger and its such a nice feeling.

sotd: magic - b.o.b and rivers cuomo

currently reading: devil may care - samantha rue and angel lawson

off to a rough start

okay so this challenge completely slipped my mind yesterday and so i'm starting it today and i'm just going to do day one and two today.

mon. 1.9.23 - what do you hope to accomplish by doing this challenge?

i mostly hope to keep myself accountable for working on things and creating content. i also have a lot of things this semester, so i want something i can do daily to wind down and reflect on my day.

tues. 1.10.23 - what is your major and what classes are you taking this semester?

so i am majoring in media production with a radio/television production and management emphasis and minoring in communication studies, marketing, and esports management. i will also maybe pick up another major, but i am not sure what that will be yet (either multimedia journalism or something related).

i'm taking 16 credit hours this semester, which didn't feel like a lot when i signed up for the classes but now that i've made it through the syllabus days i think its so much. i am also working on our esports broadcasts (likely 3 days a week, but i'm not 100% sure yet), directing our news show, and hosting a 3 hour dj show in the morning as a requirement for one of my classes.

so i am taking:

media design

intro to audio production

media toolkit

esports business management

english 101p

anyway i am hopeful for this challenge and maybe i'll see some other people doing it!

the book i'm reading right now is love on the brain - ali hazelwood

today's song of the day is nobody move, nobody get hurt - we are scientists

today was an upper body workout day! i pushed myself a bit too hard all at once and felt a little sick afterwards.

okay so i'm going to try this for the first time. i made this so that i have one prompt for every day i'm in classes. i intend to stick with it, but i'll do my best. you also don't need to do this in the spring, there's nothing actually tying it to spring.

aim

i'm really just making this for me (and anyone else who'd like to do it) to kind of take a break at the end of the day.

i also really want to get into creating content, so i am hoping this is a way to kind of ease into it.

rules

if you do the challenge, use the tag #spring sem study challenge so i can see your posts.

this challenge will run from january to april for me

that being said, i wrote prompts for each day that i have classes for the spring semester. there's 60 prompts total, with a check point on day 30. that way if you want a shorter challenge you can have one.

i don't expect everyone to be able to post every day, so you can post catch-ups or answer in batches. i will be trying my best to post daily, but will likely end up needing to do catch-ups.

also i'll be adding a song of the day as well as what book i'm currently reading. i might include my workout for the day but who knows.

if you have any questions, feel free to send me an ask!

💌 13/01/2023 💌

Hi everyone! 👋

Long time no see! How are we all?

I’m so sorry for being inactive. Let’s have a little update.

I’m at medical school! First semester has been amazing. I’ve met so many people, I love all the content. I’m so incredibly happy. I’m currently in the middle of exam season (😬) so I’ll post about those exams soon.

Bigger and better study content coming soon (I promise)!

Love from,

HunnyStudy 🫶🏻💌

⏳01.09.2022⏳

Good evening!

A little catch up is needed, I think! :)

I’ve been preparing for university. So far:

Tidy wardrobe 1 ✅

Tidy shelves ✅

Pack bathroom items ✅

Pack kitchen items ✅

Pack study items ✅

Pack bedroom items

Sort bedside drawers

Tidy wardrobe 2

It’s all so close now. I’m so excited. But oh wow, I didn’t realise how much stress and work goes into preparing for uni! A pat on the back to anyone also doing this right now 🙌🏻🙌🏻

How’s your summer going? When do you start school/college/sixth form/university?

All the best! 💛☺️🌼

🎓A-level Results!🎓

I didn’t update yesterday because I was so busy and overwhelmed and ahhh.

But, I got…

A*AA!

I’m so unbelievably happy! I’ve got into medical school!

The breakdown:

Biology - A

Chemistry - A

Physics - A*

I can’t believe I got an A* in physics. I cried so much in that exam and afterwards I genuinely thought I wouldn’t scrape an A.

I’m so so so happy!

How did you do?

And to anyone with GCSE results next week, best of luck! Remember, wherever you end up is where you were meant to be!

Hello everyone!

It’s been a little while since I did a normal post. Since exams have been over I’ve been really enjoying just having a lovely little break and not having any studying to do!

However, it’s time I start getting ready for university (which is in less than two months 😳). So, I’m going to start giving updates on the little productive tasks I get done to help me learn how to adult a bit more than I do now.

Today, I fried an egg for breakfast. I know it doesn’t seem like an amazing achievement, but I don’t cook at all so it felt like a very big first step into learning how to actually look after myself independently. Plus, it tasted good!

How’s your summer going? The UK has just had a massive heatwave, it was FAR too warm. ☀️☺️

🌿24.06.2004🌿

Just doing some last minute studying for my last exam!

I can’t believe how fast it has all gone, but I’m so excited to have a break. It’s a really strange feeling if I’m honest. ☺️

Well, let’s go smash this last biology exam! 🥳🌷🌸🌻

🧪Exam Diary - Chemistry Paper 3🧪

I’m so happy! That paper was so so SO lovely!! Honestly, that’s the best exam I’ve done so far, I never thought I’d say that!

Only one more to go, wow! Hope you’re all having a wonderful day! ☺️🌻

🧪Exam Diary - Chemistry Paper 2🧪

I mean it was just fine?

Yesterday I sat my second chemistry paper, and yeah it felt pretty good. Nowhere near like paper 1, but that’s been my best paper yet. So, I guess I’m happy!

Good luck to anyone else with A-levels!! We’re on the home stretch now! ☺️🪷

🧬Exam Diary - Biology Paper 2🧬

I honestly loved that exam! It felt like a mock? Thank goodness for those questions. I enjoyed it even more than paper one! 😳

How did everyone else find it?? ☺️🌷

(also the heat in the UK is killing me wow)

🧲Exam Diary - Physics Paper 3🧲

That was so much nicer than paper 2!! I feel quite good about it. I can’t believe my physics a level is over! ☺️🪐

🪵16.06.2022🪵

I have my very last physics exam today! I’m honestly quite excited to know that this is the end of me taking the subject. It’s been so interesting but draining at the same time, and I’m excited to prove myself one last time!

I was originally really scared of paper 3, but after yesterday I’m feeling oddly confident.

Good luck to anyone else taking exams! 😚🌺

🧪Exam Diary - Chemistry Paper 1🧪

I honestly loved that paper! It’s been by far my favourite paper so far, I’m so happy! ☺️🌷

🧲Exam Diary - Physics Paper 2🧲

I won’t lie, I didn’t enjoy the paper. In fact I got quite upset. So much stuff was on capacitors and other really weird questions. In hindsight it wasn’t as bad as I thought and I think I’ve actually done pretty well, so fingers crossed! 🤞🏻🫠

🧬Exam Diary - Biology Paper 1🧬

I’ve just had my first A-level Biology exam! I love biology paper 1 so I was quite excited for this one.

The paper was alright, but the questions were just a bit… weird? I’ve never had a past paper that felt like that one, but the last three questions were wonderful!

Fingers crossed for physics tomorrow! 🤭🤞🏻

🥑08.06.2022🥑

Good morning!

To Do List:

2019 Biology Paper 1

2020 Biology Paper 1

Predicted Biology Paper 1

My biology exam is tomorrow! I’m feeling really confident because biology is my best subject, and all the practice papers are going well! 🤭

Have you got any exams coming up? 🤔

🪸07.06.2022🪸

Good morning!

I’ve woken up early today. I find that waking up any time before 7 always means I have a more productive day. Whilst my days haven’t been too unproductive, they haven’t been as good as they can be, hopefully today this will finally be rectified as I feel quite good. 🤭

To Do List

2018 Physics Paper 2

2019 Physics Paper 2

2018 Biology Paper 1

2019 Biology Paper 1

2020 Biology Paper 1

Later today I’m spending some time with my friends which should be really lovely. 💕

Also, I’m planning on writing some tips on how to do well in Biology, Chemistry and Physics as I feel now I’m doing quite good at them. I hope that incoming posts are useful! 💌

Have a wonderful day! 🫶🏻🤗

🌳06.06.2022🌳

Good morning! ☺️

I’m back in college today as the half term is over. These are the papers I’m hoping to get done:

2017 Physics Paper 2

2018 Physics Paper 2

2017 Biology Paper 1

2018 Biology Paper 1

2019 Biology Paper 1

I’ve finished 2017 Bio Paper 1 and got an A* so I’m very happy.

Being back inside school is definitely helping me stay focused, and I really like that I can go and talk to my teachers whenever I need (I’m going to make use of that later today!).

Have a good day! 🌞

“I always get to where I am going by walking away from where I have been” - A. A. Milne

If I’m honest, I’m really struggling to find motivation. I don’t know why, I’m just not doing well. I’ve been feeling so distant and tired (if anyone maybe has an idea why please say). Today, I’m going to try to change that.

The quote above is really useful when I need motivation, as it reminds me starting and making any progress is still getting me to my goals.

Here is a list of things I would like to get done:

A-level Physics Specimen Paper 2

A-level Physics 2017 Paper 2

A-level Physics 2018 Paper 2

A-level Biology 2017 Paper 1

A-level Biology 2018 Paper 1

Obviously, this is quite a lot, but as long as I get ~3 done I’ll be happy.

I’m going to go get some breakfast, and I’ll update later on how I’m getting on. Wish me luck!

💛31/05/2022💛

🌻To-Do List:🌻

Inorganic chemistry reactions flashcards

Chemical tests flashcards

2017 A-Level Chemistry Paper 1

2018 A-Level Chemistry Paper 1

Fill out booklet

Online courses

I’m hoping to get all this done today, and have a really productive day! 📚

I’m feeling quite confident about chemistry at the moment, so I’m hoping these should go okay. 🧪

I’ll update later, have a productive day! ☺️🫶🏻

Welcome!

Hi there!

🌻My name is Hunny (she/her) and welcome to my study blog!

🌻I’m studying A-levels in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, and am in year 13.

Follow me for study content! ☺️

a pleasant day on campus <3

felt like sleeping like the cute doggo in the video

but the work just never ends (⁠T⁠T⁠)

tried to have a eat junk food and study session with besties (we ended up yapping)

even though i feel v sleepy, afternoon classes are a vibe 乁⁠[⁠ ⁠◕⁠ ⁠ᴥ⁠ ⁠◕⁠ ⁠]⁠ㄏ

the campus cattos make it better <3

second year of uni has started in full swing!

went through personality theories for my personality psych assignment

made a cute study set up <3

(tried) to start my biological bases of behaviour course's assignment by reading the assigned research article

did a mini art project for said biological bases course because ✨why not✨

the man hadn't met the russian i think🧍🏼‍♀️

By constant efforts, practice and patience, you can achieve anything that you want... ANYTHING!

Big dreams seem to be impossible untill we start working for them.

Always remember:

It is gonna be difficult on day one...even more difficult for the next few days...but slowly it becomes a part of our routine. No extra push or effort is required then❤️

So, even if you are starting today, smile...be proud of yourself❤️❤️

Keep grinding 🍁
