22. what do you carry in your backpack?my computer, my notebooks for whatever lectures i have that day, an umbrella, some snacks, a water bottle, my pen case, my wallet, and a change of clothes.

It’s so important to take care of yourself while in school or uni. Here, I’ll give some tips to do that easily. You don’t have to do big things at all - the small ones count too. Get going, and help yourself.

Protips:

-

Listen. To. Your. Body.

Yes. It freaking sucks and you have an assignment due in 5 hours, but if your body says stop, then stop. Email your professor and ask for extending the due date. They will understand.

-

Get enough sleep.

Your body needs it, your brain needs it, and actually, sleep helps processing the information. So yes, go get your sleep and hopefully 7-8 hours. Every sleep cycle is 90 minutes, try to get sleep so you will wake up either in the start or end of one. Sleep, for god’s sake. You can get insane if you don’t.

-

Plan small.

You have a freaking heavy to do list and you don’t do anything? Yeah, it’s too big. Schedule 3-4 tasks per day for a start. Nothing more. 3-4 “small” things seems less overwhelming. When those are done, maybe add one or two more if you have time to complete a task more. Or you can relax.

-

One day off to relax.

You need it, it will prevent you from burnout, and you gotta be social too - or just having “you time.” You will be thankful for it.

Alright, now off to small tips sorted for time.

2 minutes

- Splash some cold water in your face to get going and refreshen. It’s nice. - Brush your teeth. Bonus: if you maintain good, dental hygiene you won’t have to go to the dentist as often or get things done besides the check, and it will save you money. - Drink a glass of water. You probably need it, and your body will be thankful. Water is essential, please do something to make your body function. It will keep you from headache too. - Brush your hair. Messy hair isn’t nice, especially not if it’s greasy. Put away from your face too. Eventually use some dry shampoo to make it less greasy. - Breathe. Take a deep breath, get some air in, and let it out slowly. Calm down. - Open your window. Get some fresh air, let your room smell nice too, and help your brain function. You need it. It’s disgusting not to let fresh air in. Your room will end up smelling and feeling horrible. - Change temperature. Too cold or too hot? Change it. I prefer my room being a little cold, some prefer a little hot. Keep the temperature comfortable and good for working and sleeping. - Do the plank. Auchies, yes, but it helps your body get going + you strengthen all the core muscles. It’s nice, it’s healthy, and it only takes a couple of minutes. Do this every day. Your body will say thank you very much.

5-10 minutes

- Change your bedsheets. Try to do this every week, or at least once in the month. Change the pillow case every week at least. The sheet and duvet case can wait. Your skin in your face will be happy if you change the pillow case often. - Change clothes. Still in pyjamas or wearing the same clothes for the 3rd day now? Change it, feel more fresh. It’s nice.

my wrists hurts so much, so I'll add more later on! hope this helps.

poseidon: your study routine?

usually i study in the morning before i have classes; i try not to stay up too late since i don’t really like pulling all-nighters or feeling like i haven’t gotten enough sleep. i usually get up around 6:30 am and then eat breakfast (which usually ends up being tea + some fruit) and then i start studying. depending on the day, i study anywhere from 3-6 hours before classes start for me!

when i study, i usually start with reviewing my notes from the previous day’s lecture; then i read through the textbook and rewatch the lecture and add anything that i missed; then i usually make more condensed materials for later studying!!! that depends on the subject, so if you have more questions about my study methods, please don’t hesitate to ask!

aww thanks!

well ig it’s okay, as long as youre both comfortable and happy hahaha

the (retractable) muji pens!! (either that, or my Pentel fude touch brush pen; it’s so good)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! awwwwww this is so cute and it actually gave me smol chills c: 

it’s really common for a friend to have an unrequited love for a friend, but what’s not common is for it to not damage your relationship! i’d advise you to move on but you guys seem to be having a great time so <3

and sure, i’ll give a story! it’s not really a happy one buT IT’S CRUSH RELATED

so in summer school, i have 2 free periods because i’m in concert band, so i’m not taking arts classes (concert band fufills all of my arts credits). most people have no free periods and 3 classes a day, but there’s a squad that’s also in a performing music group, so they also have 2 free periods. we usually hang out in the office and collect attendance and file things for incoming freshmen, etc (it counts as volunteer hours)

SOOO BASICALLY there was this one korean kid (i’ll call him edward). at first i thought edward was just a basic bro. but like over time i met him and fell IN LOVE (not really but u get the idea) because he’s smart and HOT and funny and adept and he plays the same instrument as me and he was just wow. 

anyways edward one day sat next to me in the cafeteria and played cards with me and we touched hands so many times!!! and he was so nice and talkative (hes usually pretty quiet) that day and he made jokes and playfully roasted me and i just liked him more and more. BUT THEN THE NEXT DAY i saw him running away from the office? and when he saw me, he tried to duck out of my line of sight?????? so i was really confused and hurt so i asked someone else from our squad “hey does edward hate me or something” and he answered, “he just thinks you’re annoying” and i was like ????????? tf???????????????? but anyways i was really mad so i blocked him on sc and stopped talking to him LOL i’m over it now but like i’m still a little salty because all of his friends say he’s really nice but not to me apparently (’:

THAT WAS REALLY LONG BUT ^^^^
