I see that there's already multiple people here and in the original thread who've added their forms, so if you've got all the people you need already that's alright, but I figured I'd try anyway. :)

Username on HabitRPG: Myrcella.

User-ID: 9af713ce-0e51-4588-8edf-719e372a08fb.

Where you're from: Utrecht, Netherlands.

Where you're currently studying: Leiden, Netherlands.

Your degree: BA Film and Literary Studies (focus on Lit though).

Current year: 3rd.

Worst study habits: Procrastination. I have a tendency to underestimate how much needs to be done, with way too many late nights being the consequence. I fall behind on class pretty quickly, or skip some of the reading due to lack of time (i.e., me waiting until too late). I also have focus issues; I find it difficult to really sit down and get work done. This is made even worse by my perfectionism - for instance, with a paper I'll have the entire thing planned out in my head in perfect detail, but I usually don't sit down and actually write until the last minute, because I'm afraid of screwing it up.

What good study habits do you want to cultivate?: Basically just the opposite of the above - starting sooner on my work (and finishing it!), getting my reading done regularly, keeping up with my class work instead of falling behind.

Examples habits/dailies/to-dos you find especially helpful: I have a 1h of interrupted academic work daily, because I tend to do my academic work in small increments during the day (because of the aforementioned focus issues), which is a bit unproductive. To-do's have been very useful for putting my class projects in order. I also have sensible bedtime and be on time habits, which sounds silly but works for me - being on time for class is important, and unsurprisingly, it's a lot easier to focus on your work if you're not running on a mere 4 hours of sleep.

Interests outside of your degree: I'm fascinated by storytelling in all its forms - so not only in film and literature, but also in art, video games, television, etc. I'm also interested in gender and sexuality; I took a Gender Studies minor last year.

Hobbies/Pastimes: I read a lot, I write (mostly online roleplay at the moment though, because of accountability), I love playing video games although I can't do it that often anymore because my laptop overheats really quickly, I watch lots of TV, and I enjoy listening to music and adding to my music collection. Lately, I've also been trying to do more physical activities, like cycling and going swimming once a week. And of course, I spend way too much time on the internet.

What are you thinking of doing after your degree?: I'll probably go for my Master's after I finish my BA, but after that? I'm not sure. I wanted to work in publishing, but that's becoming increasingly unlikely.
