Give yourself enough time to get ready before you have to leave in the morning. For me this means setting my alarm about an hour before the time that I have to get my foot out the door. Eat a proper breakfast, do a little stretching, figure out your plan for the day. Having a slower paced morning is a lot more relaxing, and you can get your day started correctly.

Drink water first thing. I used to be a pretty heavy coffee drinker in the mornings in high school, but I realized that I could get away with a lot less caffeine if I started my morning off with a nice glass of cold water. You’re probably dehydrated after sleeping and water helps wake you up. 

Make your bed. Making your bed is a visual reminder that sleeping time is over and that it’s time to get up! If I have a messy bed, I want to climb in and snuggle back into my blankets. This is especially true in the winters when it’s cold and dark. The movement also helps you wake up, which brings me to my next point:

Move! Your! Body! You don’t necessarily have to run through an entire yoga routine or go for a run (but hey, props to you if you do), but getting some movement in your mornings will help you wake up. I like to stretch a little bit, warm up my joints, maybe loosen up my limbs. It helps to get your blood flowing. 

Open your curtains. In the winter it might be kind of dark and depressing where you live, so this isn’t always something recommended. I like to open my curtains when it’s sunny out so I can get some natural light, which helps your circadian rhythm so you wake up better - and fall asleep at night better. 

It’s been a while since I’ve made a post, and I figured that these tips might be extra helpful with exam season approaching. As someone who struggles a lot with procrastination, I do everything I can to fight the urge to put assignments off until the last minute (even though I’m not always successful).

chemistry notes and an unfinished cat-themed bujo spread because cats are incredible

I guess I should make an intro post about myself, yeah?

About me:

I go by Aphy, but I also respond to Marlow. Either one works!

I’m 18, and my birthday is August 29.

I was born in Texas and I still live here.

I’m a freshman in college. Right now I go to a community college, but I hope to transfer to a state school.

I want to major in illustration!

She/her or they/them, but tbh I’ll respond to anything except it/its.

My interests:

Video games! I love playing them in my spare time, even though sometimes I’m not that great.

Cats! I have 3 cats and I love them very much.

Anime! My current icon is from Show By Rock which I absolutely recommend because it’s adorable.

Languages! I want to learn Japanese and Korean primarily, but honestly I’ll try anything once.

Goals with this blog:

Accountability. I’m not the most disciplined person, so I hope that seeing all of you do well will be enough to make me get my stuff together!

Improvement on my art.

Build good study habits.

Insp.

May the stars carry your sadness away, May the flowers fill your heart with beauty, May hope forever wipe away your tears, And, above all, may silence make you strong.
