"Time is gold" - and it really is.

For every college student like me whom has an unacceptable class schedule and a multiple times longer vacant period than your class period, we need to do something! We need to do things which we can be proud of. We need to be productive.

So, here are some things we can do during our vacant time and be awesomely productive instead of wasting that gold on some senseless things.


1. Review your lessons either on your previous or next subject; try reading and reviewing your notes day-by-day, inch-by-inch - it can help you study less on the future. Also, organize, rewrite and clean your notes you wrote on your class , it will also help you easily memorize those lesson.

2. Advance study. If you have the will or in the mood, try advance studying. Knowing the next lesson will make you the star of the class and you'll also gain confidence and another will to study more because your professor praise you, girl!

3. Read. Not your academic book, take a break, read some books you personally like - a novel, poetry, comic or any other literature books you prefer.

4. For me as an artsy person, I really like to draw, doodle and think of some random creative ideas like what should I draw, how should I draw my character, how should I design my next bullet journal page, what pantone and theme should I use, what topic should I have in making another zine, what should I do in my life next, what book should I buy that'll be added on my shelf for more aesthetic look, and many more creative thinking.

5. Sleep. Yas girl, not in the mood? Then quit the world for an hour or more, listen to good music and sleep.

6. Creativity blocks? Not in the mood to study? wide-awake? Watch a movie! Of course be sure that you have available movie or drama on your mobile. When you have time at home, try downloading random movie and watch it in case of emergency ;)

7. Girl of course eat, who would've forget that? Reward yourself a great food; you did a great job on your previous class and it'll serve as your energy on your next subject.

8. Journaling/Documenting. Aside from being artsy, I personally am a poetic-sentimental gal. Compose a poem, document what happen, write those epic moment that happened to you.

Personally, I am required/oblige to document my everyday life because I need something to write on my bullet journal which I fill every weekend.

9. Last thing you can do on your vacant period is nothing; sit wherever you want, listen to good music, stare onto nothing, observe your environment. Sometimes for me doing nothing gains me something. It gives me ideas, life lesson and realization.


Here is the simple memo I made to help me remind the things I can do on my vacant period! I hope this blog help you a lot to be more productive.

Thank you for reading!

See you on my next blog!
