What I keep on my desk

-

Hi and welcome to the blog!

Today I am going to spill the beans of what I need for my study sessions! To be honest it's nothing extraordinary, but maybe it helps some of you or you are one of the nosy ones ;)

The most important thing for a successful study session for me is definitely a clean desk, although that's not always the case. Nevertheless I try to keep it somewhat tidy and force myself to pack away my supplies and wipe it off with a wet cloth once I'm finished.
Another thing that I sometimes fail to do but it's in fact crucial is staying hydrated. If you're not to keen on drinking somewhat tasteless water, maybe try spicing it up with a spritz of lemon juice or settle for unsweetened tea.
The one thing I can't study without is my trusty MacBookAir, always plugged in to avoid running out of battery.
Next to it I keep my textbooks, a notebook, some highlighters, pens and a ruler. It might surprise you, but I also keep my phone on my desk in order to track my study time using the StudyBreak app. It keeps you from procrastinating and tracks the time actually spend for studying while also reminding you to take breaks in between. Occasionally I also keep some healthy snacks near, because I'm gonna be sat here for a while, so I might as well keep my tummy entertained!

What do you keep on your desk?

Keep studying,

Cardboard Boxes and Wall Paint: Moving Update #1

Current living room "decor"... Heeellooo! Currently blogging in my pyjamas in my bed at almost lunch time but hey- still have about three weeks left until I have to take a header into the deep sea that is adult life. So for now, I'll enjoy getting my laundry washed and my floor swept because that's gonna come to an end veeeery soon. But don't get me wrong- I'm also really excited for what's to come. My cups, plates and my very pretty copper kettle are already stored in my new kitchen's cupboards, and lovely plush pink tea towels are hung over the radiator to dry: feels just like home. I love that no matter what cupboard you open- it's just so ME. Like- I love to choose wall paint and curtains and planning the tiniest details. Moving actually is really fun- and a free workout, if you keep the dozen cardboard boxes in mind that I have carried in and out of my new home. There's still so much to do- so many shelves to build, curtains to sew

Happiness is an inside job...

...don't assign anyone else that much power over your life. The past few weeks have not been easy. I have cried. I have screamed. I have hated. I have loved. but most importantly I have learned I have laughed I have lived I have loved. Break ups are never beautiful. No matter if someone cheated, lied and left or if someone held your hand, hugged you tight and left. No matter if he was an asshole or the love of your life- he must not be the reason for your happiness or the reason for your hurt. The only one you should give that amount of power to is solely yourself. so get up- lace those running shoes and run those kilometers hit those keys and write that essay rock those heels and get out to party!

It's time for new adventures!

And suddenly you know that it's time to start something new and trust the magic of new beginnings. Hi there! I can't really believe that today was actually my very last day as a student! Although I am glad that I can check off another thing on my "goals" list, it feels incredibly strange to somehow just not be a student anymore, since that's what I've been for the last 12 years, I have met most of the people I value most in the halls of my school and I can't believe that I'll have to get on with my days without my 13 amazing classmates, who feel like so much more- family.  Being a very small class and spending more than 30 hours per week together in one room for four years, we formed a bond like no other class. It makes me sad that this time has come to an end, however I feel incredibly... ... grateful for all the memories I've made ... thankful for having been able to go to a school in an advanced and stable country that allows me to
