Top Tips To Survive Studying While Quarantined:

Top tips to survive studying while quarantined:

Clean up your space: With all that is currently going on, it is very easy to get overwhelmed and anxious. Keeping that in mind, seeing a cluttered workspace (or livingspace) will only add to that overwhelming feeling. When it feels like all things are out of control it is crucial to focus on things that you CAN control. By keeping your workspace clean you are more likely to feel more productive and motivated to get down to business.

Take more breaks: Like we talked about above, with stress and anxiety running at an all time high lately, it is important to remember to be kind to ourselves. No matter the length of our to-do list, if we are unable to bring ourselves to be in a more relaxed and calm state, there is no way that any studying can get done. With that in mind, it’s important to allow yourself to take more breaks than you normally would. This gives your mind a chance to relax and regroup before trying to start absorbing information again. This is also extremely important if you are in the same boat as I am meaning you’re back at home living with four other people and the noise levels make it impossible to remain focused for long periods of time.

Try to set up a study spot: This DOES NOT mean study in bed. I repeat: do NOT try and study in bed!!! In all seriousness, this pandemic has uprooted all of our lives and routines as we know it. This is why it is crucial to find and designate a specific space in your house or room where you commit to study each and every day. Like I said before, it is important to focus on the small things that we CAN control in our lives in order to feel a sense of normalcy.

Reward yourself: treat. yo’. self. It’s important! Even if you don’t get through all the things you were hoping you would, reward yourself for reaching those small milestones. Life right now is stressful enough as it is therefore we need to be kinder to ourselves and be more supportive of our small wins!

Set realistic goals and be flexible: Working and studying from home has brought along many many challenges. The biggest challenge for me personally has been all the distractions I face at home. I live with four other people at the moment and therefore there is never a dull (or quiet) moment. While I used to go to Starbucks to sit for a couple hours and study or get work done, that option is no longer available. When I really needed silence (AKA exam weekends) I would go to my university’s library where it would be absolutely silent and I could sit for hours in a calm clean space with little to no distractions. For now, things are much different than we all would hope. That is why it is important to set realistic goals on what you want to achieve for the day. It is okay to feel like you can only cover one lecture today when normally you might be able to go over three (under different circumstances). It also helps to be more flexible with when you study. If you find that it’s more quiet at your home at night or very early in the morning while everyone is asleep then make those adjustments. Think of this flexibility as a huge advantage to being at home!

Know that it is OK not to feel as productive as you usually are and be KIND to yourself 💕

Sat - Where in your house is your favourite place to study?

I love my room, it’s really quiet and I always have my music playing. I’ve recently decorated it a bit more and it’s got this really nice vibe that I love to be in now 🥰✨

Sun - What are you doing to relax?

So I love to have a warm bubble bath or to just watch YouTube. I’ve been doing some creative writing as well since I love to write but it’s mostly watching movies in the bath with a really nice scented bubble mixture 🥰☺️🌸

Hey yall! I’m in isolation right now and I’ve been revising my food nutrition so I thought I’d share some facts with yall to stay healthy ;)

eat protein!! Protein makes up the antibodies in your immune system (the little guys that attack viruses and what not) and lacking in it will cause them to decrease since new ones can’t be made, have a protein bar every couple of days (don’t horde them tho, that’s not cool) or, if you’re veggie like me, beans on toast yall! Protein complementation, have lentil soup, tofu, nut butter on bread all work! Don’t eat too much protein now that ain’t good - search up the recommended value for your age group

Eat the right amount of carbs - seriously, without em you feel weak which means most of your body’s energy is going toward helping you stay upright as opposed to fighting off illness

V I T A M I N S - Vit A produces mucus membranes which are useful as a preventative measure against catching illness, B12 helps to make healthy red blood cells (as does B9) which are needed to provide oxygen to the body (esp useful when it’s a respiratory illness) Vit C allows iron to be absorbed (iron needed for red blood cells) so that is also useful ( B and C vitamins are water soluble so it’s hard to have an excess of them as they are *ahem* peed out)

Drink Kombucha! It’s a relatively low cal drink and comes in a variety of flavours, it also contains LOADS of healthy bacteria you need in your gut so if any of yall are recovering from a bacterial disease and had antibiotics, have some of this to get your system back on track!

I’ll update this as soon as I review more knowledge ;)

Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional at all, I’m a food nutrition student doing GCSE and this is just a list of the healthy vitamins people should be taking, info from my textbook don’t assume I’m completely correct - do your own research as well!!! always check to see what the recommended amount of macro and micronutrients are for your age group - they vary a lot!!! I also don’t endorse hoarding - that is selfish and unecessary, take only what you need and if it’s the last thing on the shelf and you can do without? Leave it!!!

Stay safe yall, message me if you need anything ;)
