B. Pisces, plant lover, tea drinker, likes to argue a lot. Public Health Major, double minor in Arabic and Public Policy Surviving undergrad in the US. I follow as pleiadic. Feel free to ask me anything! I also sometimes make printables and am open to taking requests for some things you'd like to see.
But we look back everyday- rechecking emails, making sure a friend is still behind you, checking to see if you remebered to pick up your keys. It's second nature, a habit of care.
It was second nature for him too. He looked back, not out of weakness, but love. For what is love, if not to look back?

Hi friends! I made a free vertical weekly printable (Monday/Sunday start) that includes a daily goal and a self care section.
By including these two sections, I think it will help set the focus for the day and help you remember to take care of yourself!
I made the planner super simple and minimalist so you can customize however you would like. This is an example of how I made my layout for the week in GoodNotes 5.
You can print the letter size file or import into GoodNotes, Notability, or any note taking app you are using.

Hey just because Iâve never seen this on here before, if youâre not the procrastinator ADHD type, but you do run into âagainst my own wishes, my brain has decided I absolutely CANNOT do this task right nowâ part of ADHD, advice: donât fight it. Youâre going to fight your own brain? You will lose, and nothing will get done. Instead, try finding a similar task that your brain will accept, and start working on that to get back in the rhythm of working and doing things. Sometimes I cannot write the paper that is due this coming Friday, but I can write the paper that is due two months from now. By the time I finish that essay, my brain has eased back into a rhythm of academic writing, and now it will accept the other assignment. Assuming you havenât left the first essay right up to the deadline, this can be super beneficial. Iâm very well know in my town for being a highly efficient worker and always being ahead, but what people donât realize is that doing that means I frequently give up on order of priority to an extent because doing things in the order of their deadlines isnât always comfortable for my brain.

I'm a TA this semester despite not ever going to office hours so... what sorts of things are useful for office hours or for review sessions at the end of the week?
shoutout to the students that donât have a good study environment. who have to share a room with family members. who donât have a desk or permanent place to study. who have to study with noise, distraction or yelling around them. Who live in tiny apartments with noisy neighbours. who have to hurry home because before dark because they donât live in a safe neighbourhood. who are surrounded by crime and gangs and are just doing their best to survive. who get woken up by police sirens on a regular basis. who only have third-hand twice repaired technology to study with and no backup plan for when their laptop inevitably breaks. who are dealing with language barriers, being the family translator, prejudice and trauma from having to flee their homes or country due to violence. who are worry about getting evicted from their homes in the middle of exam season. who are subject to the whims of bosses who canât cut their hours and wreck havoc on their lives.
I canât really offer you much help or pretend that I understand what youâre going through but I hope that you know that you have the support of this community and are free to express these challenges and worries without judgement and that you belong in this community.Â
Wear jeans/pants that âbreatheâ and bring a sweater, even if itâs scorching hot out, until you know which building blasts the AC to 60 degrees F and which feels like a sauna
Backpacks with thick straps are your friend! Messenger bags are cool and all but if youâre commuting with a lot of stuff, symmetrically styled backpacks are better for your back
You are your own person and you can walk out whenever you need to or want to, so long as youâre not disrupting the class. Meaning you can go to the bathroom without permission, take a breather if youâre anxious, answer an important phone call, etc.
If you donât like the class on the first day, if you can- DROP THAT CLASS AND TAKE ANOTHER ONE! Itâll only get worse from there!
If you can, take a class outside your major; itâs a good break from your expected studies.
You are in charge of your schedule. Your adviser and guidance counselor is there to âadvise and guideâ but if you donât like certain classes and you can substitute for others, thatâs your choice.
Consequently, if you are changing anything drastic in your plan, talk with your adviser and instructors.
Pay attention to your credit hours and grades. Â Never leave this to the last week of school, you will be sorry and stressed beyond belief!
Unless itâs a lab book or otherwise specified, go to the class for a week or so before buying an expensive textbook. Some classes, while having it on their required list, do not actually use the textbook a whole lot and you might find some of it scanned online. Rent if you can or buy used online (schools actually donât give discounts). Use your best judgement on what you think you need.
Tell the people who go up to you selling or advertising things you are not interested in that you are in a rush to class and donât have time to listen to them. Itâs less rude and theyâll leave you alone.
The smaller the class, the better it is to have some sort of acquaintanceship with a couple classmates. They might save your ass if you are absent one day or need to study. And talking with them makes the time go by faster without it being so insufferable.
You donât need to join a club or sport, but internships are cool and useful!
If you can afford it, take a day off once or twice each semester if youâre too exhausted. Just be aware of what you missed and if it was worth missing!
Your health is the most important, this goes for mental health too!! Note: College-age/upper teens is when mental disorders like depression and anxiety are most commonly diagnosed. Most schools have therapy services, especially during exam time. Look into it if you need to!
Communicate with your professor if you are having trouble with something. Anything.
Eat and stay hydrated. Bring a water bottle and snack to class.
All-nighters will happen but never go over 36 hours without sleep.
Itâs going to be hard and there will be times you might think about giving up. This WILL happen. You just have to make sure what youâre doing isnât making you absolutely miserable and/or there is something rewarding and positive to look forward to at the end!
Advice from someone who really fucked up their freshman year:
READINGS ARE NOT OPTIONAL.
I REPEAT. READINGS. ARE. NOT. OPTIONAL.
Put them in your schedule, read BEFORE class. And summarise it. For bonus points, come up with some questions about the text and go introduce yourself to your professor either after class or during office hours, and ask them about it. This will make them much more likely to remember you in a positive light (and possibly bump your grade up if you hit a hard patch.)
Your library will have a copy of your textbook. If you cannot afford to rent it, you can go to the library and borrow it from the front desk for a few hours whenever you need it. It is there for you, okay?Â
Reblogging this because when I went to college back in the mid-90s, I could have used all this advice. I was the first person in my family to go to university, no one told me any of this, and the internet was not really A Thing yet. (For perspective, there were an entire two computers on campus which had access to the World Wide Web, because it was such a new concept that demand for it was low.) This would have been relevant then and itâs relevant now.
Email your professors ahead of class or ask on the first day if the current edition of the textbook is required!
Our universityâs campus bookstore required the professors to ârequireâ the most current edition of the textbook, which was mostly a scam!
Unless thereâs a workbook in it, most professors are fine if you go back 1-2 editions because thereâs usually only minor changes. Instead of buying a $300 brand new textbook, you can likely buy it for $8.00, and I recommend www.thriftbooks.com as a resource

Hey everyone! Hope youâre as great as you can be. A whole lot of crazy stuff has happened recently or is happening and I do hope youâre managing everything alright.
I just wanted to share some wallpapers Iâve made for you this month! I thought itâd be good to have something thatâll make you feel calm but also energized and motivated: the illustration* represents the journey youâre on, and everythingâs still - the waters, the winds, etc. - as a reminder that it will all work out in the end. Iâve also included a quote by Marie Curie that Iâve found empowering whenever I face any challenges in my life.
