Never without tea, flashcards and some snacks! Hello fellow chatter boxes! I am actually quite angry at myself for blogging right now because there's still so much I have to get done today but ohh well... (I feel like "oh well" has recently become my motto for way too many things, oops) My final oral exams of my Matura take place on the upcoming Monday and my brain has turned into mashed potato consistency. Although I have chosen my absolute favourite subjects for my final oral exams (German, English, Psychology and Philosophy) I'm not really having the time of my life right now. I did start to study on time, but definitely didn't go with my study agenda I had planned out a month ago, that was already really tight and additionally to it already being stressful I also slacked off the last few weeks, telling myself that I need a break after my written exams at the end of May which was totally a very horrible excuse to lie in my hammock and enjoy the sun. A...

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 orde...

Hello there, ...it's me, your chaotic story teller, blogging even though I should be doing other things... Said 'other things' include texting my boyfriend to clear up the air (there's been more hurricane than sunshine recently), tidy up the crazy amount of dirty laundry scattered all over my floor and at least take a glimpse at my very long and probably overflowing to-do list... Well all of those things are stressing me out because of one big reason: Thesis writing. Believe it or not, but your girl is actually pretty good at all things school, organising and time management, sometimes creating the illusion that I've got my shit together (believe me, I don't). In Austria, all students that want to take part in the Matura (Austrian equivalent of A-levels, Abitur and whatever exam there is that you need to take at the end of High School. You need it in order to go to University) need to write a thesis. I already wrote mine during summer holidays, therefore I ca...
