Board Thread:The Archery - LFG/@comment-24475708-20140205135234

Hi all, I'm sure that there are or soon will be Habiteers studying at university (or in similar situations) looking for a party to keep in touch with. I'm going to paste here a slightly edited version of an LFG post made by Miracuvem over here, because it covers a lot of the things I think are important. What we're looking for:

 University (college) students. Exact level of study isn't super important. Being somewhere in Europe or the UK is a plus, just for time zone reasons. This isn't an entirely hard line, so if you're not strictly in university, but still in a similar situation, we can roll with that.  Those who are (at least partly) using HabitRPG for academically related motivation and productivity.   Active users who will use the party chat and try to get to know other members. (People can get very busy, myself included. But if you can find time to tick off your dailies, you can find time to say hi in the party chat every few days.)   Super encouraging people who will hold their other party members accountable and help them find motivation when needed (whether it's sharing tips and advice, or just cheering them on).  

If you meet all those requirements, we would love to have you in the party! Besides generally motivational and social purposes, we'll also of course take on group quests together and that sort of thing.

If you're interested in joining and meet the requirements, fill out this form and post it below so we can all get to know each other better!

Where you're from: New York, USA

Where you're currently studying: Oxford, England

Your degree: BA English and Philosophy

Current year: 3rd year (junior)

Worst study habits: I often have a hard time sitting down and banging out a good few hours of work. Too often I'll do an hour or two, get distracted by something else, and then be behind. This leads to a lot of nights where I have to stay up later than I'd like to cramming or writing an inevitably sloppy essay.

What good study habits do you want to cultivate?: I'm trying to work on getting more work done more frequently, and doing it in places that are conducive to working rather than staying in my room.

Examples habits/dailies/to-dos you find especially helpful: I've been adding "Do X hours of work" as dailies in order to encourage myself to actually sit down and get busy. I have 1hr, 3hrs (with 2hrs as a checklist), 5hrs (with four as a checklist) as dailies, so I'll get penalised if I do less. I've also put "6 or more hours of work" as a positive habit so I can reward myself if I have a really good day. Otherwise, to encourage myself to get enough sleep and not procrastinate, I have "No computer/screentime after midnight" as a daily.

Interests outside of your degree: I'd really like to learn more about computer science and coding. I feel like I've wasted way too many hours of my life messing around on a computer to have as little under-the-hood knowledge as I do.

Hobbies/Pastimes: I love being outside – hiking, cycling, rowing. It's unfortunately quite hard here because, if it's not raining, it's always just rained, or is about to rain. When that happens, if I'm not working, I try to spend time hanging out with friends, or reading for pleasure.

What are you thinking of doing after your degree?: God, I really have no idea. As I've spent more time thinking about it, I've figured out what I definitely don't want to do – investment banking, management consulting, probably not medicine, that sort of thing (no offense meant, just not cut out for it) – but really made very little progress in the positive direction.
