This is the first movie ever I’ve gone to see on opening night. And let me just say that, for the record, I’m glad I went to watch with friends. Without them, I would have most likely calmly exited the room, climbed up to the roof, and dived straight off.

// june ‘16 spreads

hi!! i’m alive!!

i am very aware that its august but as you may or may not have noticed i have pretty much been dormant here (except for queue) for the past 2-3 months or so 😅😅  so now i’m back i thought i might as well share the spreads i completed in the mean time!! july spreads will come along shortly as well as an update!!

so in june i went on a grad trip with my pals to tokyo so most of these pages are travel related! um also before i get asked this, no, i didn’t do those pages while travelling because that would actually be impossible 😂  i did them after i got back home!

and also because i feel kinda guilty taking people’s pictures off the internet, pasting them in and kinda reposting them back on?? i’m going to include a reference list in the cut below from now on!!

15/02/16 • Part 3 on how to take exams!

Taking exams is always such an anxious thing, and I know that under pressure, our performance can fall drastically. Try to reduce as much stress as possible by arriving early, eating well and putting yourself in the best mindset before the exam. You don’t want to run into your exam late (which will stress you out even more) or realise you’ve forgotten pens/pencils/a geometry set once you get into the exam hall.

Have a Planning System The most popular is probably a bullet journal as these are customisable and you can make one yourself using a notebook:

There’s also planners that you can buy:

Set Up a Study Space Your bed should not be your study space! Find a place with:

Little distractions ie no tv, no loud noises, etc.

Everything you need: all your supplies and stationery

The right temperature, too cold & you’ll lose focus, too hot & you’ll feel sleepy

Snacks, so you won’t have to keep going away from your desk

Water: stay hydrated !!

Exercise Before studying. It will boost your energy levels and help keep you focused.  You don’t have to do a full workout or anything, try going for a quick walk!!

Know your Goal And how you’re going to achieve it! If you know your goal it will be so much easier to stay on task. Perhaps have a reminder of what you aspire to do or the grades you want on the wall in front of you so it’s what you see when you look up!

Try Some Background Noise It will help block out other noises and help you stay focused!
