🙃 I Had So Much I Wanted To Get Done Over Winter Break And So Far All I’ve Done Is Replay Life Is

17/10/2017

Herbal tea and chill kinda day today. Second year is proving to be quite difficult to be honest and my life is so disorganised right now. I need some serious motivation and a hard kick up the backside because I can’t seem to focus on my studies at all. 😭

My winter study session essentials: lots of blankets, hot chocolate, and a cozy sweater (or an oversized bathrobe) ☺️

- quizlet

- TRIPLE CHECK YOUR ALARMS 

- bring tupperware to the dining hall to smuggle out extra food

Things I learned from Junior Year

Hey hey so my junior year  ends in a week and I want to share some of the (surprising) things I’ve learned from what everyone generally calls the most important year of high school

1. Do what you love, love what you do

Junior year is when almost everyone is basically freaking out about college transcripts. I cannot stress how important it is to actually take the classes and activities that you want to do, not what you think colleges will want to see. Almost everyone I knew took all these AP classes for their college transcripts and not only were most of us pretty miserable but our grades dropped and we wasted months of our year. So, you first, college second.

2. You will get into a college

If you’re applying, you will get into a college. It might not be your dream school or your top three, but you will get into a college. So don’t worry over “perfecting” your college app for your top colleges. There will always be a college willing to welcome you and that C you got in physics class. If one door closes, another door opens. Broaden your horizons and let the opportunities fall where they may. 

3. Community college is a valid option

Let’s be real, community college is taken as a giant joke, the place where the people that couldn’t get into “real college” go, the school that gets you nowhere. But, that’s pretty damn far from the truth. People go to community college for a lot of reasons: it’s way cheaper, you can use it as a springboard to get into a university which is easier than if you applied as a freshman bc college credits, etc. You can be just as successful as someone that went to a private college. Don’t be afraid of considering community college as a place to go to.

4. Watch your mental health

Take that mental health day. All that SAT prep coupled with school, extra curriculars, and the general downward spiral of other people’s mental health during the year will mush together into a workaholic 2 hour sleep schedule where all you eat is basically coffee and potato chips. If you need to, take that D on that math test if it means not pulling an all-nighter for the third day in a row. Take that extra day away from school to study for that test in the subject you’re terrible at. Take that extra day to not do anything but relax with some bubble tea and take-out and netflix. Just don’t let it turn into a mental health week. 

5. You don’t need a life plan

You don’t need to have your life all planned out. Half of everyone doesn’t really know what they’re doing, so don’t feel panicky if someone actually does. But, this doesn’t mean you get to slack off. Explore your options, your hobbies, cultivate your abilities and passions, so you won’t be completely befuddled when you’ve actually got a make some sort of plan later on. 

6. Don’t feel pressured

Don’t let people pressure you into doing things you don’t feel ready for. Yes, I mean things like drinking (especially underage drinking), smoking things, and sex and everything in between. Because kids will be losing their virginities and going to wild parties and getting tattoos. It happens. Don’t feel like you need to have your first kiss or your first drink before college. It isn’t a race or a competition. Don’t do things you’ll regret or set yourself up for trouble. Be careful, be safe, be comfortable. 

Ah I hope this post is helpful in any sort of way! I’ve finally posted something original which is a big woohoo. Have a great whatever time of day it is! okie dokes bye :)

OH MY GOD whyyyy did no one tell me you’re supposed to send thank-yous after interviews?? Why would I do that???

“Thank you for this incredibly stressful 30 minutes that I have had to re-structure my entire day around and which will give me anxiety poos for the next 24 hours.”

I HATE ETIQUETTE IT’S THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE THING FOR ME TO LEARN WITHOUT SOMEONE DIRECTLY TELLING ME THIS SHIT

how to start your year off right.

here are some tips and suggestions on how to begin the new year on a good start. i’m sure there are lot more you can do, but these are a few that can inspire you to do more. let’s make 2018 the best year yet. let me know what you’re doing too!

digital purification. let’s start the new year with a clean digital life. delete old pictures, contacts, apps, etc. go through your emails. unfollow people. delete digitally things and people that don’t have a place in your 2018.

clean your room/house. there’s nothing better than a clean and organized house. designate time to clean every to make sure the cleanliness and organization stays the way it is. having a solid structure and organized feelings will allow you to focus more.

reflect. 2017 was a long year so take sometime to look back on the good and the bad and everything that has gotten you to where you are. it’s important to recognize what you accomplished. 

end toxic relationships (if possible). let’s be real, ending a relationship no matter if it’s a friendship or what is difficult. if you are able to get rid of that toxicity from your life, do it. you don’t need negativity and hate entering your 2018. you deserve love and unconditional happiness!

goals. right your goals for the year if you haven’t done so yet. there are many approaches you can do this for this, but make sure your goals are achievable and realistic. you can do day by day, month by month, or the year as a whole. whatever style will help you conquer 2018 and make you feel accomplished!

plan. i recommend getting a planner, calendar, notebook, or whatever will allow to stay on track for the new year. stay organized and plan events. it’s really easy to fall be hind when you don’t have your life planned out. you can even do this digitally! you can also plan your budget and financials.

They can flip off this country all they want considering the fact it was theirs first.
