Study Hard - Blog Posts

This! This is actually so important and we often overlook it and puss ourselves over our limits, which isn't bad overall, but dumb if we aren't careful

Self-care isn't selfish; it's necessary. Take the time to prioritize your well-being.

Guys, I have no one to support me and I only have two months left until the exam that will determine my future, so I opened a blog, I don’t know what I will post yet but I need someone to really support me, even my family doesn’t support me, I promise you that if I receive your support and motivation I will share with you my adventures until the day I get on the plane to travel to the university of my dreams

Do a minor program, they said...

After a short break, keep working again!

I won't be taking classes because I'm in an internship this semester, but I'm still working in two labs and the obligation to do so is increasing :')

Be prepared to see posts full of articles, even though I'm still not ready to read..

İnsanız. Kendi memleketimizden uzakta çetin bir imtihan veriyoruz. Mü'minler "işittik ve iman ettik" derler. Gerisi rıza kapısı..

Böylelikle ilk Türkçe yazımızı da paylaşmış olalım.

From coding to neurobiology and from neurobiology to coding.. In between, running to laboratories and projects… I wish my dopamine level could cope with the academia challenges :))

Hello from the academic side :)

Unlike everyone else, as someone who has not yet taken a vacation, I am at least entering my last week before the finals. But the endings are often harder…

After a coding war.. 🥲

For music: Çok Yorgunum

{Ladin}

Some dark vibes...

But I like it like that!

Plus, the light on the page and darkness surrounds you is the best focusing condition, at least for me.

Reading article is fun!

This term we conducted an experiment about color and memory and I was the literature reviewer girl in the group just because I love reading and annotating articles (the flavor of my favorite coffe shop makes everything better). Each group member also found participants which was quite fun and conducted the experiment.

This was from my first psychology exam studying.

The date: March 2020

The time things were about to change :')

{Çınar}

Before starting this blog, I talked to my friend that we would share the working environment without worrying about aesthetics. So sorry for the mess :)) Although I am not a person who can not study in a messy environment in general, sometimes it can be better.

Never be a "never can" person. Fighting!!

For music: Drama Köprüsü

{Ladin}

Statistics, my last final... I newly finished a devastating term :') Now I feel more alive lol

Did I say that I {Çınar} have a minor from studies in administration?

It's from a studying session for the final exam of one of my administration class.

just before the psychopathology final study sessions started...

The exam was relatively good by the way.

That is actually 2 years of flashcards. It look enormous. I'm so proud of it, it help me revise quickly ! Also I made notes for technical drawings, I don't have flashcards anymore but a piece of paper do the job. Also it's ??/100 days of productivity but miss the count.

38/100 days of productivity: My teacher are all trying to finish in time. It's like my third maths lesson of the week.

Wasted most of your day and feeling frustrated?

Well, this happens to me all the time. I get angry on myself and somehow waste the rest of the time too. But....

Where there is a problem, there is a solution too🤗

So... I have decided to solve this seemingly big issue of mine.

1. Whenever such a thing happens I take my journal and write:

Let time t=0

and start again.

2. I forgive myself each time I ruin my schedule.

3. I close my eyes and imagine as if my whole day has been super productive and I didn't waste time at all.

These things might sound stupid but have worked for me.

Learn to be a master of your mind and body🙌

Galtiyaan sab se hoti hain...lekin sudharna sabko nahi aata! (Everyone makes mistakes, but not all of them know how to tackle them)

Is it just me or does everybody's handwriting depend on mood??🤭

🙌just finished Biology syllabus for Wednesday test🙌

Day 29

March 19th 2021

Staying hydrated and healthy is super important for physical as well as mental health.

So let's make it a point to not ruin our health in order to save 30 minutes!

Day 26

March 16th 2021

The conventional pomodoro does not work for me. So I have modified it a lil bit and it's really helpful.

I break my study session into 30 minutes sub-sessions and switch between two subjects every 30 minutes. No breaks. One session is usually 2 hours long and productivity is high.

Give it a try!

Day 24

March 14th 2021

Fail: First attempt in learning...Really?

We all are very enthusiastic when we begin...but towards the end all kinds of negative emotions and self doubt surround us. People say that you should believe in yourself...but hey! Is it that easy? Especially after having lost the game once? It's very easy to say that failures is first attempt in learning, but let me tell you failure sucks. Failure takes your self-confidence. Failure makes you feel smaller... It feels as if you've lost your own self.

Let's work on it and prove it, not to the world but ourselves, that we are no less.

❤️❤️

Day 22

March 12th 2021

Lifesavers🙌🙌

Being a dropper I can tell you, you will thank yourself a week before exam for making formula-sheets.

No matter how much we study, stress levels are on the peak at that time... I felt like crying 10-12 times in one day when NEET 2020 was approaching.

Be prepared 🙌🙌

Day 17

March 7th 2021

Finally things are falling in place🙂

I don't get stressed when there is a lot of work...I usually get stressed when I am not doing what I should be doing.
