You don’t have to buy all new stationery. Even if you’re going into college or a brand new school. Most of your old notebooks, folders and pens will work! Believe me, it’s not worth buying an $8 pen because you heard your favourite studyblr talk about it.

One thing you will need, however, is a planner or some sort of bullet journal. Personally, I prefer a planner so that it appears more structured. I enjoyed bullet journalling, but it wasn’t set up and laid out for me and that really stressed me out. It depends on what you like, but just be sure to have something to remind you of upcoming assignments, homework or tests.

Make sure you’re in the right headspace. Meditate, start exercising or talk it out. This helped me so much when going into college. I would usually be terrified in new social situations, but being in the right headspace really helped me. Also, if you’re just going into college, the first month is going to be confusing. Just accept it for what it is, because everybody else feels it too. 

Enjoy it. The beginning of the semester is more than likely going to be the easiest time of the semester. Don’t get stressed out by the little things. For example, my best friend and I both took the same history module at the beginning of college and we were assigned to write a bibliography in a week. We stressed out so much that we didn’t get it finished until an hour before it was due. We realised that we were just stressing out the moment we handed it in, after all it was only worth 5% of our grade! Just do your best and don’t stress about the small things, like commas and full stops.

Heya! It’s been a bit of a while but I’m back!

I needed a bit of a break from hardcore studying because of my mental health, and although I’m not 100% I need to start easing my way back in!
