Welcome back! Today's post is all about reading habits, namely : reading multiple books at the same time.

It's a habit I have with … Continue reading Why I read more than one book at a time
Dealing with procrastination and avoidance
Procrastination isn't good for you, and neither is avoiding the things you need to do. I know that. I know that for a fact. Yet, the other day, I realized in a flash of panic that I had three extremely important things to do that I had just been passively avoiding for weeks - some … Continue reading Dealing with procrastination and avoidance
Jumping on the Notion bandwagon
It's finally October! As Zoom University is now back at full speed, I've been gradually shifting my interests in YouTube content from outfit and meme videos to studytube guides and tips for online school. I'm a very easily suggestible person, and I'd been hopping from studytube to studytube until I got to Mariana's Study Corner's … Continue reading Jumping on the Notion bandwagon

5 online classes I’d like to take
(If my IRL classes finally let me breathe !) I've been in university for 5 years now, and am showing no signs of stopping anytime soon - I'm trying to get grades good enough to be able to do a doctorate, so I've got at least 6-7 more years ahead of me.

Inside and out book tag
I've had a very productive day today : I applied to 5 job postings, had a business phone call for 20+ minutes and faced my mother for a full hour before running away and hiding in a Starbucks with my laptop and 2 grande coffee frappuchinos. Which means : I'm feeling extra lazy tonight, haven't … Continue reading Inside and out book tag
My reading habits
I'm always pretty curious of how other people read, and where/when they do so : do they read in their bed ? In the bus when they go to work in the morning ? I know my father's been keeping a book in the pocket of his coat for some time now, just in case … Continue reading My reading habits
