Hello Earthlings,
As I sit here and type this, the new series of Death in Paradise has started, I'm sat with a towel around wet hair and in some way I'm attempting to write revision notes. Clearly, the new year has bought a life of luxury yet I have to return to uni soon and just the thought of it makes me let out a sigh which also translates to "I'm quite happy plodding along and pretending that it doesn't exist".
I decided to do this post to explain how I am preparing for getting up early again, and all the work that comes with it. I have a couple of exams next week that I'm attempting to try and revise for. I feel like it has been ages since I have revised, A level exams seem so long even though really they were last June. Trying to shake myself into looking at things and trying to remember them insanely well is definitely taking some doing.
When I started uni I kinda struggle to get the hang of it, when they say it's a big jump from sixth form to uni it's almost as though it's a big jump, and you're on fire, and you're going to land in a pit of spikes. Well, that's what I felt like. But I am starting the get the hang of it a bit more now and not feel completely "AHHHHHHH". This semester I want to try and use different tactics as well in completing uni work and I want to try and balance life a bit more. I put insane amounts of stress on myself to complete things, and as a result of this end up stressing over uni work and then going to work but this year I have loads of projects that I want to at least start so I'm going to attempt to fill some of my time with these. Fingers crossed it will be half successful.
I have tried to use a bullet journal, I have a board on Pinterest dedicated to bullet journals and their pretty doodles and swirly fonts and how organised and pristine everything is. I also failed using a bullet journal because I'm such a perfectionist so if one of my swirly writing titles went a bit dodgy then I had to restart and it all took a lot of time and then I forgot to fill it in during the week and it just sat there. That's that bright idea done with. But what I do find helpful is using a Filofax, I only use a personal size one that my mum gifted to me when I started uni but I love it. I have everything written in there, and with the use of a notes section at the back it allows me to write possible blog posts and I can write to do lists and oh, it's amazing. I'm sure no one else is ever this enthusiastic about a Filofax but I recommend getting one, or at least something similar! I have a couple of other yearly planners that I use to plan my blog in detail and organise my uni work properly, but my Filofax is the place where everything is, even if it is just briefly. So yeah, I'd probably be a blubbering mess if I didn't have somewhere to write everything down in, mainly because I'd forget where I was meant to be or something daft like that.
A short and sweet (like me) blog this week, I'm super excited to post next week's post so make sure you pop back here next Thursday!!
See you soon,
