Study With Me - Blog Posts
I’m going to be doing a Study With Me on forest at 19:15 (GMT) so if anyone wants to join I’ll stick the code on my blog about 10 minutes before we’re due to start 💕✨
Life is still good despite the busy schedule, chasing dreams and finals.
morning coffee and study session with friends.
It's midnight, and here I am awake with endless thoughts. The weather here been so hot that I swear I could melt into a puddle causing a need to keep my water super cold and iced all the time. But at night, I want my drink to be warm hence the Tyseo tumbler with OSK's oolong tea.
Gentle reminder to everyone to keep yourself hydrated, eat that delicious food you keep thinking of and get some rest when you're tired. You deserve it.
30.03.2023 Spend some time in the uni's library before afternoon class. 🤭 Did a bit of academic reading and leisure read, those two are different type of activities, okay? One gave me hard time and one made me relaxed.
Also the song genre I am into now is Japanese city pop, made me feel nostalgic for someone who wasn't even born in the late 70s or 80s. Current fav is Flyday Chinatown by Yasuha ❤️
29.03.2023 Getting these two books because it has been in my wishlist for some time/months. Also, short date (breaking the fast) with my sweetest date ✨️ Reading too many research paper made my brain miss reading idly, in a relax pace, focusing more on enjoyment. This April till first week of May will be the busiest time ever with group presentations, group work papers, tests, and exam.
21.03.2023 Iced Mocha latte + outfit check. I managed to finished article review, a Canvas discussion and presentation slides for 31st March. Went to eat dinner with my partner at Jollibee.
I am going to cafe and pretend to be a main character to do my ✨️assignment+online class✨️
20.03.23 preparing an article review on Digital transformation in business specifically about firm innovation and performance. Staying in the library's cafe till lunch then into private study session. Also, going to enjoy my chocolate cake & iced latte.
(Hey reader 💕 I hope you are getting through whatever you are doing. If you haven't drink, get that sweet hydration. If you are thinking to eat, get that delicious food. If you are tired, rest well until you can continue again. You can't do everything at once or for everyone. Just do it for yourself. Take care and be well 🌷🍀)
17.03.2023 third cup of coffee + suzume's Radwimps ft Toaka. Found gaps in my research paper (literature review and results specifically) during editing and wanting to hit my head because the deadline is on 18.03 (tomorrow) at 10:59 pm.
16.03.23 Well done, self. You are nearly there in finishing one massive assignment. (And you, too. You did good,reader) 🍀💞
The test went downhill but I tried to not let it bother me because I don't have the luxury to do so since more tasks ahead of me. 'It'll be alright, there's still time to improve' kept myself afloat. My sleep too were lacking and must fix it soon since I could feel myself feeling restless and the exhaustion keeps on seeping inside.
The unholy amount of coffee I drank these days led me questioned myself if I am present in this reality or not. Met my partner yesterday for a moment away from busy busy student's life and opted for a dinner date in Jollibee 🐝❤.
Take a break when needed, everyone. You deserve to get a moment of peace too.
Morning coffee to afternoon individual study session because I'll be having two tests this week, and one essay, one case solution submission. Next week would be one test, one essay deadline. I mean, what a life.
The morning class is interesting, heavily into the discussion with the lecturer over AI, Knowledge management, Industrial revolution 4.0 and Root-cause analysis.
semester breaks doesn't feels like a semester break, spending the time mostly dwelving deep in academia writting and as usual, high on caffeine to chase deadlines. seems like I am merely studying my lecture material, notes and books, and most of the time, banging my head on the desk for being clueless. ootd using .5 perspective to appear taller since i am quite petite. also, iced cafe latte and matcha cheese cake 🍵💚.
Trying to finish a report during semester break. Feeling overwhelmed by the long list of deadlines and somewhat feeling stuck even if you've been productive? Thank you to bestie for accomopanying me even if we share different Masters course.

It's funny how most of us would rather read study and productivity tips/quotes than actually studying or doing work.

Studied economics lesson 2 (Part 2)
Yeah, that's it.
27.06.2024
I'm tired. Gosh. I've been waking up at 6:45 am and then returning home at 5:00 in the evening, it's so exhausting... Anyway, today I:
Completed one lesson in economics
Did some accounts sums and revised concepts
Did my computer homework (50%)
Got an English and Arabic test tomorrow. Yay T-T
I'm in my "I don't know how but i will" era
26.06.2024
Well, no idea how to describe today. Kinda boring and tiring... I'm struggling with English alittle, no it's not the stories or poetry or prose or assignments... It's freaking grammar. I mean, I'm fluent in English, I don't have that many mistakes in it either thankfully but if our teacher teaches us grammar using tabular columns and grammar rule formulae type stuff, I'll obviously struggle because I can't freaking comprehend how you use that in this T-T
Anyways, today I:
Completed English assignment
Did some accounts
Completed 1 lesson in Business Studies
Completed Computer homework
I guess that's it...
25.06.2024
Today was alright, I guess. My project finally got accepted by our computer teacher, like after suffering for a week or two we finally completed.
Nothing much to update here so....
Did some accounts sums
Completed 40% of English assignment
Completed 20% of Arabic assignment
I've been meaning to wake up at 5:30 from tomorrow to start studying. Let's see... O-O
24.06.2024
Well, I'm freaking exhausted! Like, i literally woke up at 6:30 in the morning and it's now 11:30 at night, I didn't even rest even for 10 mins. Gosh, it's starting frustrate me so damn much...
Anyway, the seminar went better than expected, some how i managed the computer test and the business studies teacher believes so much in me that she never picks me to answer a question xD and the economics test is postponed to tomorrow, I'm gonna study that in the morning. And we submitted our computer project today and the teacher liked it and she said that she was impressed with our team's report and even used it as a reference to show the others, I was jumping inside xD
And today i:
Practiced 10 Accountancy sums
Did some computer writing assignment
Reviewed some concepts in business studies
Not alot but still something...
23.06.2024
So i kinda missed a day yesterday, I was busy with my project and i got a cold... i literally didn't study anything, i have no idea what I'll write in tomorrow's 3 tests. Praying they'll get cancelled T-T
Anyways, today I:
Finished off the computer project
Completed 20% of the English assignment
Practiced for tomorrow's English seminar
Okay, i hope I'll do good tomorrow but I have faith. So yeah.
If I had to give one advice, and only one advice, to everyone going through highschool (although it also works for uni), it would be this:
Do as much past papers as you can. Lessons are not enough, practice is the key. There is generally a pattern in the exercises. That's what you should learn to identify. Learn to see, from the first glance, what they ask you in a question, even if you don't know the answer to it yet. That is more than helpful. That makes you learn your lessons better and you'll be confident in front of any exercise even if you don't really know the answers, you know the steps. You know what is asked from you. You know what to do. So practice, practice, practice.
Based on experience.
Hey dear Anon! :)
I know what you're saying because I literally passed sophomore and junior year with this method. I agree it's very beneficial and it definitely gives you more confidence in the actual exam!
Thanks for sharing :)

Well, today was uneventful and boring as always. The English period ended before i could present my seminar so now I have to wait till Monday (kinda bad if you ask me). Completely did something else on the economics test today, boring old accounts got me crying like always and don't get me started on computers... T-T
Completed 65% of the computer project (Took me 3 hours)
I did absolutely nothing else... gosh...
20.06.2024
Today was tiring. And I'm pretty sure tomorrow is gonna be exhausting as well. Wrote 2 class tests today, no idea what I wrote xD I have a seminar, a test and an assignment submission tomorrow... A project submission on Monday and another test on Saturday, in simple words, I'm gonna have a busy weekend T-T
Learnt a new accounts concept and wrote some notes
Learnt lesson 1 in business studies
Prepared for English seminar
Worked on the computer project (10% done)
Did I study for tomorrow's test? Nope, just have to wing it I guess T-T
19.06.2024
First day of school after Eid holidays and gosh, I'm tired but it was an overall alright day. Postponed the tests they were supposed to keep today (about 3 tests) and kept 2 other suprise tests... I don't think teachers know the meaning of "informing in advance" and "actually following their schedule" T-T
No one even asked for the assignments, I was annoyed because i literally wasted my time doing them and they didn't even ask ://
Anyways, I got done atleast somethings...
Did half of the new economics assignment
Completed Arabic homework
Completed English homework
Economics lecture (YouTube) 50 mins
Discussed computer assignment (we've barely started and we have so much to do)
Tomorrow, we have tests in economics, business studies, a seminar in English and probably my computer teacher's wrath... For some reason, despite starting so early this year, i feel way less confident than last year when i only touched my books during exams... life is so weird... And mid terms start in July (don't ask me how it's mid term already when it's only like the 2nd week of school and they haven't even completed half the portions for it T-T)
