My week 1 was characterized by:

trying new things (taking my first GE ever! lmao)

rekindling old friendships (from last year and even before college)

investing time in new friendships (joining a new org purely for the fun of it! my lovely future apartment mates and friends)

doing things I love but haven’t done in a while (teaching! watching the bachelor! crying while watching the sunset)

2019 has been so good to me so far and I can only hope that the rest of this year is half as fun :’)

12.01.2019 | day 12 of 100 days of productivity

Ok I realize I’m posting this the next morning, I’ll make another post today too. So I was actually quite productive today. The only thing I didn’t do that I wanted too was a yoga flow (esp because I didn’t go to the gym), but i was honestly exhausted. I went to school, bought a textbook, read my textbook, studied, and went out to a cool steakhouse. I love how my spread turned out this week!

If you’re like me you might be familiar with that strange sense of anxiety that you feel every sunday night : tomorrow a new week will start, you’ll have plenty of stuff to accomplish and you’re just here thinking about all of this and getting more and more anxious ! 

Even if I think  that we all experience that and that it’s completely normal, here are some few things you can do on sundays for you to face the new week ahead in the best way possible : 

Do something productive : this could be finishing some assignments, cleaning your sheets or going for a walk !

Pamper yourself : I think sundays are the best days to do this ! Wash your hair, take a bath, put on a face mask or paint your nails, you’ll feel better after taking care of yourself :) 

See some friends, go take a walk together or hang out in some coffee shop! Seeing people is a good way to distract yourself a bit from everything that’s making you anxious 

Plan your week : fill your bullet journal, right down the important appointments/deadlines you have this week 

Meal prep : I’m not really good at cooking, but when I do it, I know that it relaxes me a lot and I actually have fun when doing it! Try some new recipes, watch some cooking tutorials. I absolutely LOVE watching PickUpLimes videos because they are so simple and super healthy! 

Meditate : really a big life changing habit for me, I just put on Headspace app and go for a 5 min meditation just before bed! 

Read : On sundays I like reading a few chapters of the current book I’m on, like inspirational books about medicine or self-help! Fictional books are also a good option if you like them! It’s a good way to relieve your anxiety and gives you that little kick to get you through the week 

Also, try going to bed at a reasonable hour : this one goes with n. 6 and 7 points. Getting a good night of sleep will actually make you feel more refreshed the day after and will help you start the week in the best way possible :)  

Don’t be too hard on yourself : and I think it’s the most important. You binge watched 25 episodes in a row on Netflix? It’s ok, maybe it was the only way for you to unwind that day! If you feel bad after doing it just get up and do anything on the list above! It’s ok and IT HAPPENS ! Don’t blame yourself, it will only stress you more and that’s not what we want on a sunday ;) 

So what did you do today? Do you have other tips? I would love to know more of you guys! Feel free to send me an ask telling me something about you :) 

Hope your weekend was good though ! And sorry for my imperfect english grammar, I try to do my best! 

good night X 

Johns Hopkins Computer Science prof Professor Peter Fröhlich grades his students on a curve: the highest score on the final gets an A and everyone else is graded accordingly.

Clever students in Fröhlich’s “Intermediate Programming”, “Computer System Fundamentals,” and “Introduction to Programming for Scientists and Engineers” figured out that this meant that if they all boycotted the exam, they’d all get As.

So they organized a boycott, milling around the hall outside the class where the exams were being sat, sternly reminding each other that if no one sat the exam they’d all get straight As, ignoring Fröhlich’s pleas to come and sit the exam.

Fröhlich praised his students’ solidarity: “The students learned that by coming together, they can achieve something that individually they could never have done. At a school that is known (perhaps unjustly) for competitiveness I didn’t expect that reaching such an agreement was possible.”
