University Studyblr - Tumblr Posts

olá queridos, tudo bem? não aguento mais os hormônios nem nada, estou com medo de chegar lá amanhã e não saber nada, como lidar com isso? estou me sentindo muito girl blogger mas é isso que sou pq aqui os posts são blogs. não me arrependo de fazer faculdade na área da saúde mas que é difícil demais, é. precisa ter coragem, loucura e acompanhamento psicológico. não vejo a hora de amanhã a tarde para oficialmente entrar de férias e tudo isso acabar.

Today I had my sociology exam and it didn't went the way I hoped so, it only had 4 questions and I'm not a fan of exams like that's.

In the other hand, I've been spending almost all of my time doing my final project for architecture and it's getting there. The presentation is on the 27th, however friday I need to plot everything and I also have my last exam that day.

Conclusion, I'm sleeping way less than I should be and working more than 12 hours a day, it's chaotic. But it's almost over 🤞

I did it guy's, I'm on vacations (until the grade it's out hahaha) 😋

Yesterday I had my final presentation of the architecture project. The day started at 6am because I was very anxious tbh (the presentation was at 10am).

I think it went okay, not grate, the professor found mistakes on every project but that's normal because people make mistakes right.

Now I'm taking some time to relax, read, sunbathe and try not to check the uni page to see the grades.

During this time I think I'm going to update you about what I'm reading and doing, I thought about taking some adobe courses.

I hope you're healthy and happy. Drink water and eat some candie, you deserve it 🖤

I passed!

I'm officially in the last year of my master and starting my thesis in 2 months! Oh jeez that's quite scary hahaha

I received my grade yesterday and since then I'm actually relax and feeling free. To celebrate I went to the beach, but it was windy so today I'm just staying home, reading "Normal People" from Sally Rooney.

About Normal People, it's my first novel from Sally and I'm already half way through the book, however with a strange opinion about it. It's easy to read, even for me, my first language is portuguese, and it's a good story but the relationship that happens in the book hmmm idk how I feel about that.

Remember to stay hydrated and be happy 🖤

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.

hey guys these couple of weeks have been a little weird, I've been thinking about what could be the theme for my thesis and trying to not get anxious because of the little war that is happening between the professors of the anual arch project while that, i've been reading about everything i can which envolves architecture, what i thing my thesis is about to be and the relation between architecture and archeology (the theme of the year)

4.10.2022

this is how I felt this couple of days, after trying to start the model, or as we say maqueta, and our professors starting a little fight between them aff

today was weird, as if the world wasn´t cooperating. first we couln´t find the material for the model, our professors are contradicting each others in the same project so we are a little lost and after sprending the day working on the document (so the the laser machine can cut the model) i had an english class (i´ve started an course in english ihih). i just wanna sleep

being an architecture student be like

8am- 10pm: no motivation, drawing a lot but no inspiration or good idea

11pm: oh my god, that reference

Messy journal before the exams during January. Those pages represented my mind.

It went better than I ever expected, I'm really proud of myself tbh.

Freaking love being the only person who is repeating the main discipline of the master and ironically being one of the only ones who actually comes at the beginning at the class and having the second best grade of the year, but I'm still the stupid girl who couldn't pass last year 🤡🤠🤡

Me after a break up: I despise real men. Let's read to fall in love with fictional men and get my standards high

Me reading: so.. fictional men are also shitty now?

day 1/123

hi! little big update in my life, I finished university! well, almost, I need to finish my masters thesis and I'm not gonna lie, it´s a bit scary, so here I am, starting to upload again to get mysfel working!

Today is the first of july and I need to submit my tesis on october 31st (the reason for the 123 days) so the plan is to write a chapter a month or so. I've already organized my schedule so I can create deadlines for myself, take a week off (I don't know if I'll really be completely disconnected or if my computer will go with me) but we'll see and try not stress too much.

I'm a very anxious person and I'm going through a breakup after finishing college and I'm already thinking about doing my internship abroad, it's been a lot, I just can't break now, let's be positive and I'll believe in myself and my abilities! let's do it!!

day 2/123

yesterday was a good day, I studied in the garden and wrote way more than I expected, however today I was very unproductive, I really tried but I couldn't focus.

I also started a new book I actually like, it's about incremental and participatory housing in Portugal (the main theme of my thesis) during the 70's, when our revolution took place.

"housing for the greatest number" , Nuno Portas

day 3/123

03.07.24

Went to the library so I could focus and it worked! Read a lot, making progress on the first chapter of my thesis (yey) I'm a bit more positive, scared but positive!!

Also, I've been searching for a camcorder, used to have one with my ex and I actually miss to record little moments with that, however I think I've found one, let's see!

I've also been missing him a lot, we used to love sunny days and I would tell him about what I was reading but it's just memories now, well it's very recent and it's a healing process right, so everything is gonna be alright 🐥 (<- how I feel convincing myself of that)

Hope you guys are healthy and happy 🤍

I know I've made it when the ladies in the library know my name

they're adorable

последний день конференции.

My uni looks like Hogwarts and I freaking love it

Uni students:

Quick reminder: you are not your grades. You are a whole person made up of all of your complexities, experiences, and memories, and more. Your grades are such a small part of that. For all of you studying for finals like me, study hard, I believe in you, remember to rest, remember to forgive yourself. Your best is all you can do. You are loved.

❥﹒♡﹒☕﹒𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆

organization: i know it's the most trivial advice in the world, but i swear it works. before doing anything, i take my planner and review everything i have to do, i divide the study by subject, amount of things to study and review spaces for exams. realistically, you can't expect to do it all in one day, but a good plan could almost allow you to sleep at night!

a clean workspace: i can't fucking concentrate if there's a mess aroud me, i get distracted easily, even by dust, so before i start studying i always deep-clean my desk. i know that not everyone can afford a personal and quiet place to study in their houses, so try to find yourself a small angle where you can really focus.

go to study in a library / café: i didn't believe it at first, but it's actually useful. if you have the opportunity to go to a library or a café after school ( or near your house ) do so. being surrounded by people who are studying like you really helps to focus, you'll be less inclined to get distracted and procastinate. i would feel uncomfortable using my phone in a library with other people who are doing their work while i'm sitting there scrolling on tumblr.

breaks: ik ik, not very blair waldrof, hermione granger, spencer hastings, rory gilmore of me, isn't it? but is it worth it. sometimes i end up having really bad headaches from studying and, even if i keep studying, the quality of my work decreases significantly. breaks are fundamental. i would not recommend using social networks for your beak, because they litteraly drain your attention, rather do your skincare, prepare yourself a snack ( eating is important! it's what makes you focus ), read 10 pages of your book, dance a little bit in your room, do stretching, go outside and buy some mint chewingum, something like that.

EAT!: girls, boys and theys, we know. i honestly think that almost every person that craves academic validation ends up developing a sort of eating disorder. it's not even the food, is the fact that you are too busy studying that you forget to eat, ignoring stomach cramps, or the fact that you didn't get that answer right and now you don't feel like you deserve the lunch. i understand bc i AM like this, like you. but think about it: you need to do it in order to survive ( but this is secondary to the grades, right? ) and to keep your brain active. you can't walk around with blurred vision because you haven't eaten or drunk for fourteen continuous hours. i swear that eating like a normal human being helps you to keep going.

sleep: same thing as eating, but with our terrible sleeping schedules. i know that school is toxic so we end up finishing our homeworks at 2 am everyday ( if we're lucky ) but when you have the chance, take a nap and recover.

repeat things as if you were explaining them to someone: this is litterally the fastest way ever to learn fundamental concepts when you're studying. imagine that you're talking to a friend that doesn't know anything about the subject that you're studying and try to explain the topic to them. finding simple words for a difficult topic will help you understand it thoroughly, on this basis you can then build an articulated and more academic speech. repeat things out loud, doesn't matter if you look crazy, you already are <3

check and organize your notes the same day: i never have time to take proper notes in class, so i review them as soon as possible, with the lesson still fresh in mind. it really helps me understand the subject and makes the further study much easier.

watch youtube videos: youtube is my favourite class. sometimes teachers are dumber than students and you, who don't have a degree in that subject and are tackling a topic for the first time, don't understand a damn thing. ofc not!! sometimes professors are terrible at explaining stuff, but fazal from pakistan isn't. i passed my physics class with a 10/10 thanks to an indian guy on youtube. documentaries and yt videos are a simple and nice way to understand better topics and do insights for extra credits.

delete social media: i'm gonna do another post specifically for this.

"STUDY!" wallpaper: last but not least, the dumbest yet the smartest advice, set as lockscreen a white / black / whatever background with a big fat "STUDY!" written on it. everytime you're about to pick up your phone and procastinate the wallpaper will scold you.

hope this was useful or at least fun to read byee
