day 29/30
I'm feeling less panicked about everything which is good. I went to the library in the morning, hung out with my friends for a little bit, came home and studied all night.
day 28/30 of productivity
I studied properly today!! I feel dead but it's okay cos in less than two weeks it'll be over and I can do whatever I want (rot). last photo is professor leonard who I would die for and is the only reason I have a chance at passing this cursed class.
day 27/30 of productivity
today was the last day of class. I sincerely hope I never see these teachers again. didn't study because I had a headache (when do I don't) and I was on campus till 1pm and also because I just couldn't make myself study. spent an hour in the morning preparing for an evaluation for our assembly language class so I'm considering the day productive. the teacher actually changed his mind about the evaluation tho and I'm pissed off I wasted that one hour. Also: I dunno how people in med school and other more intense degrees study for long hours everyday I feel like I'm losing my mind and I've only been doing it for two weeks. this caption is long lol it got away from me but it's my blog and I can write a paragraph complaining about uni shit if I want to
day 26/30 of productivity
stressed out about not studying enough which leads to me not being able to study which leads to more stress. fun
day 25/30 of productivity
I didn't do nearly enough today but I'm tired and my eyes hurt so I'm going to bed
day 24/30 of productivity

day 23/30 of productivity
finals in two weeks and then I am free 🧘🏾♀️🩷
Hi! I wanted to share some websites that have helped me with bettering my SQL skills and are interactive, as in you can learn as you practice SQL on the website through an educational or fun way!
SQL Bolt
This website is one of the best for beginners to SQL as it helps with explaining the different SQL statements as well as giving brief interactive exercises for each explanation/topic. Additionally, it offers help on more intermediate topics as well such as subqueries. However, this site doesn’t have many resources on more advanced SQL topics, so it may not be best if you’re more intermediate in SQL, but could be good for a basics refresher.
SQL Zoo
This website is another one which is good for beginners to SQL as similarly to SQL Bolt, it primarily explains different SQL statements and queries. There are brief interactive exercises as well as quizzes on various SQL topics. Additionally, there are assessments for more advanced users of SQL to test their knowledge which consist of 15 questions for different databases, including dressmaker, musicians, help desk, and so forth.
Select Star SQL
This website is an interactive SQL exercise where you learn as you go while interacting with a database of death row patients. The difficulty of queries slowly increases as you go through the exercise. I find this website helpful as it threw me into SQL and I prefer the learning while doing method, especially with real-world data. This could potentially be triggering if you don’t want to read the details of people being on death row.
SQL Murder Mystery
This website is an interactive SQL exercise where you try to figure out who committed a murder using SQL. This website is good for both beginners and more intermediate SQL learners. It offers a walkthrough for people who are completely new to SQL. Alternatively, the website gives schema details to those experienced with SQL and want to figure it out on their own.
SQL Police Department
This website is similar to SQL Murder Mystery where you try to figure out police cases through learning SQL. It has prompts where you then use SQL to try to figure out the information the police need. The site also has a guide on SQL and gives basic summaries on different queries. I found this site fun to use and it has a cool interface. However, one con of this site is you can only do a certain amount of SQL queries before it asks you to pay for the longer version of the site.
Practice SQL
This website has been my personal favorite as the interface is clean and easy to understand. The website gives you prompts to use SQL to select from two different databases, the first of which is based on doctors and patients in different provinces while the the second is based on products and their orders as well as employees who work at the company. For both of these databases, there’s a series of prompts/questions from easy to intermediate to advanced SQL. Additionally, there’s learning resources which helps explain different queries and functions of SQL as well, if you’re confused or need help!
I hope you guys find these websites helpful!!

day 21/30 of productivity
had my calc exam today (horrible awful but it's fine) and I finished the database group assignment- also awful and horrible but ultimately fine. The submission date got moved to tomorrow instead of today and like I've been saying in every post I am soooooo tired. on the right is a cappuccino I bought impulsively yesterday cos I knew id be staying up all night. It didn't do anything for me cos coffee never does but I like to pretend.

day 8/30 of productivity
a little more calculus and a lot of assembly language 🙄
day 7/30 of productivity
1hr of calculus II on the couch. I have a cold and it's been pretty hot during the day so that's all I could do today 🤷🏾♀️
day 5+6/30 of productivity
a good few days of studying- mainly database and calculus. mid exams start after next week and Im not feeling as anxious anymore because I'm catching up on things :)
day 4/30 of productivity
calc II after procrastinating on it all week. I finished ch1 and did half of a worksheet.
day 2/30 of productivity
database systems. this class is mainly memorization (at least for now) so I'm using flashcards. today I revised ch 1 then studied and made flashcards for ch2.
day 1/30 of productivity
3 hours of assembly language. first two hours of studying were really hard (I was NOT motivated) but I pushed through and the last hour in the evening was easier :) assembly's fucking awful tho
im not posting on here as much because im just not studying which is very very bad. ive lost sight of my goals and motivations, im putting my hobbies above doing uni work and i need to get back on track before the work piles up, i forget what ive learned and it becomes impossible. so im going to tentatively do a 30 days of productivity challenge on this blog, starting today. ill try to post pictures if i can or just a to do list for the day. it doesnt have to be perfect, i just need to do more than im doing now (which is almost nothing).
goals for the challenge/the rest of the semester:
revise c++ and do some projects to refresh what i know
start self-studying oop in c++
study current courses and prep for exams
hey friends, admittedly i've been really shit at keeping up with studyblr lately and i've noticed that a lot of tracking tags/their blogs are not active anymore... so if you're an active studyblr and/or use tracking tags, could you please reblog this post so i can follow??
