Tomorrow I have an civil engineering exam and let me tell you, I'm studying now it's 11.40 pm and I only know the theory.

Basically, tomorrow I need to plot the posters for my final project (due Monday) so I spent the day editing and finishing it. I'm already plotting the dossiê in another place because I didn't finished it yet 😬

Well here's the day of an architect student during her master's, almost burned out but still alive.

Hope y'all are safe and drink water 💧

college study tips that actually help

put your phone on silent and put it across the room

listen to classical/soundtrack music without lyrics

make index cards for important vocab

wear pajamas

make diagrams and pictures. they don’t have to look pretty, as long as you understand it

make timelines for historical events

have a light snack

drink coffee or tea to keep you going

take a break every hour or so

have one pencil/black pen and one colored pen or highlighter. anything more will just distract you. the aesthetics aren’t important, your knowledge is

don’t be afraid to email/message your teacher or a classmate if you don’t understand something. the last thing you want to do is learn the incorrect information

know that sleep and health is more important than your grade. you cannot perform as well on a test if you are tired or sick. take care of yourself

it’s not a race. it’s not about who can learn something in the quickest time, it’s about learning

take a deep breath 

prioritize your homework by how long it will take you and when it’s due

plan some you time in between studying and school

if you’re mentally exhausted, set a timer for 30 minutes and take a nap. any longer and you’ll wake up even more tired

don’t understand something? that’s perfectly fine, don’t stress over it. ask for help rather than complaining

have a goal in mind and write them down. say things like “i am getting an education so i can get the job of my dreams. the life that i want. the happiness that i deserve”

be thankful. it is a privilege that you get to go to school and get an education. 

you got this.

Sometimes I feel very lonely. I want to meet people who read the same books I do, someone who listens to the same music and shows me new artists, I just want to talk about the way I feel the city design should take a part of how we feel or why I like the color of the sky.

This loneliness isn't even romantic or poet, it's just frustrating.

zlibrary gone... FUCK TIKTOK FUCK BOOKTOK I hope that app burns in hell

btw you should absolutely read stuff you don’t agree with. you should think critically about it. you should reflect and find different stimuli and maybe even form your own thought based on or opposed to it. ideas aren’t contagious and reading words someone else has told you are “bad” won’t infect you like a virus and make you “evil”. read with your own brain.

update

Hello beautiful people

So as a true procrastinator, as my username already says, I haven't posted anything on this account over the summer, so today I'm going to update you because my school year has already started and there's a lot to say.

Basically this summer can be summed up by the beach, a lot of time spent there with my friends; books books books, I think I’ve read 8/9 books; music, I went to a lot of free concerts and a few festivals and, surprise surprise, the hospital because this idiot got pneumonia and had to be bedridden for 2 weeks. But the summer was good, even if I can't breathe normally, with time and care I will.

If you want I can talk more about anything you want, just ask me, however I think I'll post about the books as a review because some were really good and others I expected more.

Now about the new year!

Yesterday i started my last year of uni, the 5th year of architecture and i was scared as hell.

This year i have 3 courses:

thesis

project

ethics, deontology and legislation

I need to do the project with the theme of the year and as apected I need to do my thesis. This though, and the fact that it's happening, is so weird and makes me feel like an imposter, like it's too early to do something like this.

However, after the professors talked to us about the theme of the year, I was very happy and excited, and I can use some of the project for the thesis, because it's really interesting.

Now I'm looking for articles about the theme, thinking about topics for thesis and bibliography, which is very theoretical, but it's pretty cool, I'm not going to lie.

So yes, this is my update. I'm really going to try to be more active to also keep myself motivated and push myself.

I hope all of you are doing your best, safe and happy.
