compre day 5! studying in a gallery turned study room

@studybugky as an econ major i agree, this field is lowkey satanic

this is the most work i’ve been doing in my two decades of existence

i study for comps for 6 hours straight take a lil nap then write my thesis for 3+ hours straight in the evening… seems unsustainable but i only have to do this for a couple months until i take my comps !!

study tip: making study materials, organizing study plans, is good, but don’t replace active recall!

sometimes i tire myself out/fall into an illusion of progress when i organize my notes, create a schedule, etc. when my energy could have been better used to spam active recall!
