News: What messes with your head
Letting go of stuff
As always, I am a collector of crap. Before I know it, I have shelves full of things that I barely use and items that have seen better days.
Grade fixation
As we enter the point of the semester where assessments are due, I have found myself experiencing my typical anxiety to obtain the best grades possible.
All things period related
Some people have periods! Yes! Truly! Unfortunately, it is not something people really talk about often.
New food & a new perspective
Trying a steamed Thai pandan-coconut cake opened my mind up to new ways to make delicious desserts.
Glorifying the grind
We're about halfway through the first semester and I've been hearing competitions of who's getting the least amount of sleep start floating around campus.
Calendar blocking
It is incredibly difficult to get things done if you don鈥檛 even know what you鈥檙e doing. Calendar blocking has truly been the most productive practice that I have implemented daily.
Putting down my phone
In terms of unhealthy habits, scrolling through my social media feed is definitely one that I am working to nip in the bud.
Experiencing new things
From surfing to eating blue cheese, there's nothing more fun than trying new things!
Looking back on my Ph.D. experience
What are some of the things that you now realise were good things to do while you were a Ph.D. candidate? Or what seemed to be an obstacle to finishing that now looking back you realise was a good thing?
Such a thing as too much study?
This semester marks my first since 2020 where I have taken on a normal full-time study load as opposed to overloading on topics.
