Helloooo ~~

So if you’re anything like me, surviving school might be sometimes a bit... annoying... right? With all those people and drama and oral exams and stress omg just thinking about it gives me chills lmao... but worry not! Me and Chinmay from @studyruels have collaborated to make two masterposts on surviving school! Chinmay will be focusing on studying in general, I’ll focus more on the social aspects of school, like how to avoid drama and people bwahahaaa~ so I hope you like it and don’t forget to check Chinmay’s masterpost here!

Also don’t mind the title, i just didn’t know what to call my part cause it’s about everything lmao so i hope it’s at least funny :’D

Let’s begin~~

For people wanting to avoid drama and other people:

Always carry your earphones. This is like the easiest way to avoid people and drama in general. Cause ya know, it might be sometimes difficult to just ignore the things happening around you, so just blast some music and get relaxed!

For avoiding convos, carrying a book is also an option~ it’s just about seeming really busy and not wanting to be disturbed lmao

Try to attend all your classes. I mean like really do. Take your own notes and if anything isn’t clear, don’t hesitate to ask your teacher. Also, tbh idk if this is valid everywhere, but for me, i sit in the front row right opposite the teacher’s desk to avoid the class ruckus (and i also can see the blackboard better haha :D 

Avoiding drama and people is cool, really, but remember that sometimes you just need someone next to you. Make a friend who understands you. Make a few of them. It’s really good, especially when you need to talk to someone or you just missed a class and you need some notes... or you might want a study buddy too~ not all people are to avoid, so try to make some friends~

If you still got into drama and you’re stressed out from it - don’t worry! Everything will be okay soon! Don’t let it distract you from your studies - in the end, it won’t matter... maybe in a month, maybe in a year, but it won’t. Trust me. It’ll go away. So don’t let it take away your precious time.

Also, remember that not everything is bad! There are lots of people at school who’d definitely befriend you! And there are lots of fun moments so don’t be afraid to just sometimes enjoy the funny things at school!

Other important things:

I know myself that sometimes you feel so awful that you can’t get up in the morning. And so, you stay in bed. And skip school. And you know? It’s okay. Don’t beat yourself up about it, everyone needs a break sometimes. However, try not to skip too many days so you don’t miss a lot of stuff.

If you lack motivation (and i know this is a problem to many students out there), here is some tips that might help~

start a studyblr - seriously this is like the most awesome tip i can give you cause gosh~~ okay lemme explain: first of all, you can find really motivating and uplifting posts; the second thing is, that you can make some yourself! isn’t that great? by that you’ll motivate yourself to work and also motivate others! (just don’T mind the aesthetic thing here not everyone is like that i swear hahaha)

check yt, ig, pinterest and other media for motivating content!

set goals. And not just any goals - set realistic ones. Most people set goals like “get better at school” or “work hard” or “get a scholarship”. Okay that’s one big goal. And how are you going to achieve it? The key is to divide that goal into smaller goals; for “get better at school” you might make goals like “attend all classes” “take notes” “make a routine (and you describe it)”. When you divide your goals into smaller chunks, it won’t seem that huge or impossible anymore and you’ll feel more motivated and willing to do that work~

If you’re anxious about something, whether it’s an exam or a presentation, try to relax the day before. Don’t do much work, have a... i call it a self-care day :’) hot bath, tea, your favourite show, skincare, meditating,... whatever makes you feel tranquil. Have a good night’s sleep. Wake up early, have a good breakfast, put on clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident, look into the mirror and say “I AM THE BOSS. I CAN DO THIS.” and repeat as may times as you want or need. Be confident about yourself. <3

In general, you should have at least half an hour a day to just free your mind of unnecessary thoughts and relax. Also, dedicate some time during the week-end - whether it’s an entire day or just half of one and a third of the other. You need to relax.

I really recommend making a cup of green tea or herbal tea (especially Verveine). It helps you to calm your mind ^^

For dealing with stress, it depends on which type of person are you, but in general, exercising is a good way. Not only it’s essential for your health to move, but it also relieves stress. Tbh just work out until you’re sore and then take a shower and go to sleep that’s it you’ll be tired so you’ll fall asleep real quick and also you’l get rid of all the tension you had inside :3

Don’t forget that it’s okay to cry. I am the type of person that builds up stress for a long time and then collapses and cried for two hours. And that’s okay. Cry as much as you want and need, just let it out ‘kay? <3 also it’s okay to sometimes complain to someone close. Have someone you can lean on an that person can lean on you too~ <3

Okay that’s it for the masterpost! I hope this helped you! Don’t forget to check Chinmay’s masterpost here and sending lots of hugs and happiness~ <33

How to kickstart your new semester

My March theme? White. Loving this white aesthetic, but I’m not loving this school work. Though it’s easier than last month, everything just seems to be happening so fast. According to my math teacher, we have 80 more days. Until then, I’ll be studying at every moment.

Hi everyone, my name is Paola. I’m from Dominican Republic and I’m currently living here as well. Right now I am in 11th grade, class of 2018, and I started this blog with the goal to procrastinate less and get more envolved in my classes.

I speak Spanish, English and currently learning French (about to take DELF A2 in a month). I really enjoy reading and listening to Hamilton (hence the tittle of my blog) and I hope to meet a ton of motivated minds here. I’m a Pisces and a Ravenclaw.

I’m working towards studying Marketing with Psychology abroad, and for that I’ll need to work hard to get those scholarships.
