- safety measures maintained: bed in the lowest position, 3 side rails raised, call bell within reach

- you get incentive spirometers! you get incentive spirometers! Everyone gets incentive spirometers!

- don’t fuck with ems personnel they’re trying their best.

So I actually got this idea last night because I plan on doing a little gift basket for my sister since she is doing so many important exams, I thought I should share some idea that may help someone you know who is doing exams!

- Support them. They may be really nervous or anxious so this is the time to be there for them and remind them that they can get through this and they’re smart enough.

- Study with them a little bit. It might make them feel better that they’re not doing all this studying alone and that someone else is studying along with them.

- Make sure they’re still taking care of themselves. Sometimes when we’re so caught up with life and it’s busyness , We can forget to look after ourselves. Give them a small and quick treat along with some water just so they can have the energy they’ll need to power through and help them think better!

Now, If you really want to be nice and help them out then you can give them a gift basket. Here’s what I’ve thought of to put inside of it!

- Robe. For when they finally get to take a load off, They can take a bath and wear a nice and warm robe!

- Slippers. Slippers are always a comfy thing to wear and if I ever feel not the best, I always wear something like slippers to make me feel more at home.

- Some good smelling lotion because who doesn’t want to smell good?

- Face masks. Stress can easily cause acne which may be what they’re going through right about now, So good face masks is probably a good idea!

- Candles. Candles can make people feel calmed down if they’re going through an anxious time in their life. You can throw in some vanilla candles or whatever kind you’d think they like!

- Fuzzy blanket. For me personally having a blanket, It makes me feel okay and safe. Having a fuzzy blanket is even better! It’s very cozy to sleep with so maybe when they get a good night’s sleep, it could be with a fuzzy blanket!

On daily routine:

- As soon as your alarm goes off, sit up in your bed and turn it off. Don’t press snooze, it will only become harder to get up. -Always have a glass of water next to your bed, so when you wake up, you can drink as soon as you are up. If you like, you can put cucumber in it, it will be even more refreshing.  -Put on your socks and a pullover or sweater or nightrobe or whatever you like, and go to the bathroom. -Wash your face, then use your face creme if you like. -Have breakfast if you have time and appetite for that. -Then wash your teeth, and use some lipbalm if you like. -Dress up in an outfit THAT YOU FEEL GOOD IN. (Also don’t forget about the weather… take care of yourself.) -Pack your lunch, check if you have everything important (keys, phone, money, ID, etc.) -On the road, do something that puts you in a good mood, or prepares you for the day. For example, you could catch up on your reading, revise the things you’ll do that day, run through your notes if you have a test that day, listen to music, etc. -DON’T TAKE LOOOOONG NAPS IN THE AFTERNOON. It may feel as the most refleshing thing, but you will regret it: you lose a lot of time, and the worst is, that you won’t sleep thight that night. MY TIP is to rest for 1- 1 and a half hours when you get home. You could eat something, or rest your head for a good half hour. Then start studying. If you really can’t focus on studying after a long day, that’s totally fine. Go to bed a bit earlier, and wake up earlier as well! You’ll see that in the morning, you will be more efficient, which will keep you moving all day long. -DON’T DRINK CAFFEINE IN THE AFTERNOON- it’s the same as naps, but (for me) it’s totally worse!!!!

On self-care:

-drink water -eat when you are hungry -go to bed in time -every Sunday, make your night a self-care night (long bath, hairwashing, face hydratating, manicure, pedicure, anything you like…) -use face scrub twice a week -wash your face twice a day -don’t sleep with your make up on -wash you hair 3 times a week

Because of the nice weather I thought I’d share some things to remember for studying outside

- WEAR SUNCREAM if you are choosing not to do this, I will personally hunt you down

- if possible, stay inside between 12-2 when the sun’s rays will be harshest

- bring water with you rather than a sugary drink because these attract bugs

- also important now to stay hydrated

- if you don’t like water, spice it up with lemon juice, mint leaves, frozen fruit, cucumber slices, ice cubes etc for a refreshing drink

- please use re-usable straws or paper straws to save the turtles!

- use a picnic blanket, blanket or bedsheet to set out your things on, preferably a light colour

- have a source of shade nearby eg. A tree or a box or a chair or a bag in order to put drinks or electronics in the shade
