reminders

“you are allowed to be proud of the little things you achieve; like becoming better in a video game, baking really good pancakes or just getting out of bed today - not everything you do has to be world changing” - @gentle-reminder

“Don’t ever do something simply because someone else forces you into it. At times, people may try to make you do things that you may not want to do. However, you must respect yourself and only contribute to what you feel comfortable with doing.” - @thepowerwithin

“There will be other tests. Other assignments. Other jobs. But there might not be another chance to dance with your sister on her wedding day. You may never get another opportunity to sing along to all your favourite songs at a concert. There are no guarantees. So, forget the test. Miss the assignment. Skip the work day. Life isn’t made by those things. It’s made by living. By experiencing and enjoying every thing we can while we’re still here.” - @ifthenightcouldtalk

“Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.” - @psychofactz

I have so so so many more tips that I’d love to share, so perhaps I’ll make a part two next month aimed at a different audience, who knows? In the meantime feel free to ask me for advice or send me a message if you ever need anything! I’ll leave you with a sweet little meditation gif below :3

IF YOU HAVE TIME, DO IT AGAIN. You’re more likely to retain information if you do/see something more than once. If you have time, reread the chapter. Redo the work. Revisit old topics.

DON’T BOTHER MAKING YOUR CLASS NOTES PRETTY. The most important parts of your class notes is making sure they’re 1. Legible and 2. Understandable. You can make them pretty later. Just focus on getting down whatever you need.

SIT IN THE FRONT OF THE CLASS. My grades improved when I did this. Partly because I have myopia, and partly because sitting in the very front forces you to be more engaged. It’s a form of self discipline.

ASK FOR EXTRA WORK. Depending on the teacher, you don’t actually have to do the work. The fact that you even asked shows that you’re committed. Teachers dig commitment.

HAVE A GO-TO WAKE UP METHOD. Whether it’s coffee or Redbull, have something which will wake you up in case you need it. You’re not productive when you’re about to collapse from exhaustion.

DON’T BE AFRAID TO BE A KISS-ASS SOMETIMES IF IT GETS YOU THAT GRADE. In 5 years, you won’t care much about how many annoying stories you had to listen your teacher tell. You’ll care way more about the grade.

SET ACHIEVABLE, YET AMBITIOUS GOALS. Have something to work towards. It’s much easier to work when you have a goal in mind.
