What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

💐 tea can quickly become your best friend. try to choose herbals one, with a touch of lavender. this herb is a miracle when it comes to relaxation.

💐 yoga and meditation are a great way to detach yourself for a moment. to just be, just exist. when often forget that we are allowed to exist without any reason.

💐 bubble bath! some people might say it’s cliché, i am aware, but they truly work and make you feel better on a sad day.

💐 connect to the eart. let yourself and mother nature be one. love her and respect her, show her that she’s important. the love you’ll get back is like no other.

💐 journal. i love doing morning pages and letting my mind write about what it want to, not caring about the subject, not caring about the way my handwriting look. just letting my mind empty itself.

💐 do something you love. do not think about it twice, as long as it doesn’t harm you or others, just do it!

💐 daydream. daydreaming isn’t always a good thing, sadly, but sometimes, letting your mind wonder is always calming.

💐 buy yourself so flowers. the loveliest thing on this world can always cheer you up!

💐 be your own cheerleader. believe in yourself, believe that you can do it, that you are smart and strong enough to do whatever you want to set your mind to.

💐 laugh. just laugh. let the happiness overflow your body.

💐 cry. showing emotion isn’t a bad thing and sometimes, crying is all you need to do.

💐 write a love letter. to yourself, to your lover, to a friend. just love.

💐 be barefoot in the grass. let your feet kiss the earth that loves you.

💐 blow dandelion seeds. let your wishes wispers in the wind.

💐 hydrate yourself, internaly and externely. you hear it all the time but water is so so good for you.

my new desk setup is working really well so far 💭

- do  not  take  8 am classes

- dont take 3 hr classes that only meet once a week

- sleep 

- when u write an essay pick out the quotes/examples u want and write the essay around it

- email ur teachers and meet with ur advisors regularly

- quizlet

- TRIPLE CHECK YOUR ALARMS 

- try to group your classes together in back-to-back time blocks. you wont want to go back to class once you get home

- STAY ON TOP OF YOUR HOMEWORK EVEN IF THERE ARE OPEN DUE DATES

- when walking on the sidewalk keep all the way to the right especially if your pace is slow

- yes, sometimes we can hear the music through your earbuds. we really don’t care or mind

- try not to eat a whole bunch after 10PM, especially fatty foods like pizza or lots of pop. you’ll get stomach aches in the morning

- nerd clubs are 100% okay and there are tons of students who share your interests with you, you just have to look

put your phone on silent and put it across the room

listen to classical/soundtrack music without lyrics

make index cards for important vocab

wear pajamas

make diagrams and pictures. they don’t have to look pretty, as long as you understand it

make timelines for historical events

have a light snack

drink coffee or tea to keep you going

take a break every hour or so

have one pencil/black pen and one colored pen or highlighter. anything more will just distract you. the aesthetics aren’t important, your knowledge is

don’t be afraid to email/message your teacher or a classmate if you don’t understand something. the last thing you want to do is learn the incorrect information

know that sleep and health is more important than your grade. you cannot perform as well on a test if you are tired or sick. take care of yourself

it’s not a race. it’s not about who can learn something in the quickest time, it’s about learning

take a deep breath 

prioritize your homework by how long it will take you and when it’s due

plan some you time in between studying and school

if you’re mentally exhausted, set a timer for 30 minutes and take a nap. any longer and you’ll wake up even more tired

don’t understand something? that’s perfectly fine, don’t stress over it. ask for help rather than complaining

have a goal in mind and write them down. say things like “i am getting an education so i can get the job of my dreams. the life that i want. the happiness that i deserve”

be thankful. it is a privilege that you get to go to school and get an education.
