Day 72/100 days of productivity ☕️🌿

Today wasn’t great but I still got a lot done! I finally did some writing that I’ve been putting off but the deadline is in a few days and I’m not sure if I’m going to finish in time... it’s really annoying because I really didn’t mean to procrastinate this long :/

21st July - What is the best vacation you have ever been on? (note: does not have to have been during summer)

Ah, October a couple of years ago we went to America and it was amazing, we went to Disneyland and saw my aunts and uncles that live there. There were so many amazing coffee shops and I tried a cake shake which was literally a milkshake blended with a cupcake 🧁 I really enjoyed myself then 💫✨

Day 72/100 days of productivity 🌿🦋✨

Today was okay :) I was feeling super run down so I didn’t get as much done as I’d have liked to but I still accomplished lots from my to do list! I’m going to go to bed early and get up at seven tomorrow in order to get some extra stuff done ☺️

18th July - What do you usually do during the summer?

Well, normally I sleep until noon and do absolutely nothing except eat so I’m hoping to make this summer the exception! I’d really like to be productive and active this summer instead of wasting it away sitting on the sofa. I think I’m doing alright so far! ☺️🌿

Day 71/100 days of productivity ☕️🌙

Today went well! I met up with my friend at the park and I had a really great time. I also tidied my room, worked out and overall had a really productive day. So far I’ve stuck with my new bullet journal and I’m super proud of it, even if it is quite a simple design. ☺️💫

17th July - What is the most important task that you need to complete this summer?

I think it’ll be preparing for sixth form! Normally we’d have had an introductory week at the end of term but due to corona we’ve been left to ourselves aha, so this summer I’ll be getting everything ready and double checking I have everything I need! ☺️💫

Day 70/100 days of productivity ☕️🌙

Finally committed to a paper bullet journal! It looks pretty good so far and I’m super proud! It’s really therapeutic to fill out. I also got most of my jobs done today! There were a few I missed but I’ll get them finished tomorrow ☺️✨☕️

14th July - Have your plans changed at all because of the pandemic?

Yep! I was supposed to do GCSEs this year but those have been forgotten :/ it’s nice to not do exams but it feels kind of anticlimactic and a bit like the work I did for the last two years DIDNT end up being used properly. However! It did mean I got to relax on my birthday instead of revising, every cloud ⛅️ ☺️✨☕️

Day 69/100 days of productivity 🌿🦋

Today went well! I got a ton of stuff done and was really pleased with myself ☺️ I kind of overslept this morning but not by much so I wasnt too thrown off ☺️✨🌿

13th July -  What are your plans for this summer?

There’s still a chance we could go on holiday! We booked ours for the very end of August so it’s still possible as long as we take correct procedures. I’ll also try to meet up with friends and get some back to school shopping done ☺️✨

Ahhh I failed on the 2020 quarantine challenge so here’s to hoping I’ll do better at this!

Hi everyone! I’ve so enjoyed doing my 2020 quarantine challenge and getting to know so many of you (and discovering your amazing blogs) that i’ve decided to create this new SUMMER STUDYING CHALLENGE! i did consider continuing my other challenge but my school year has now ended and the way i study in the summer and my priorities is very different compared to during school time - which i’m sure is the same for may of you! I’ve created this challenge to try and keep myself motivated during the summer (because i am ridiculously busy XD) but i also want to use this time to get to know many more of you and stay motivated together  💕 

(also i know that many people struggle for ideas of what to post during the summer so hopefully these will give you some ideas. 

✨ Info ✨

This challenge will run from Monday 13th July 2020 to Sunday 6th September 2020, which is two months.  However, please feel free to join in and start any time if you come across this challenge after the 13th July because i want this challenge to be accessible for everyone! 

I have daily prompts for each of this entire time. You don’t have to post every day (you could, for example, cover all the prompts in one post at the end of the week) and you also don’t have to post for the entirety of the challenge (for example if your summer break ends before the 6th September). But i will be posting every day for the whole time and want to interact with as many of you as possible!!!

I want to see what you are posting so please use the tag #summer studying challenge and I’ll track this tag and reblog as much as possible!

On this note, I will reblog basically everything even if you don’t think it is ‘aesthetic’ cause I love seeing how everyone does their notes and stuff so please get involved 💕
