bad eating choices aftermath tips

so, when you’re busy studying or you’re stressed we tend to eat a bunch of food we probably shouldn’t. a lot of the food makes us more tired or even more stressed out like junk food, sugar, etc. i’m gonna try to break down the specific types and give tips for how to recover afterwards: 

carbs: bread, pasta, ramen noodles. 

do not eat fruit! this sounds weird but your blood sugar levels are really high at this point and fruit can make it even worse. 

drink tea ( i recommend green tea but whatever you have on hand is going to be good! ) double the amount of tea you usually would steep. so use two tea bags instead of one. 

at your next meals, increase protein and fat in your dish. 

take a walk. it’ll help make your belly feel less ouch. 

salty foods: chips, fries, most potato-y foods

eat bananas or spinach! these foods have potassium and they counteract the sodium from the salt. 

water water water. you’re gonna feel bloated otherwise and you’re not gonna feel good working on that assignment. 

sugary foods: candy, ice cream, cookies. 

eat some fatty foods. some that i can think of are: peanuts, any type of nut, avocado, hummus and veggies. 

move! even if it’s just walking up your stairs for a bit or walking around your room or building. move it off. 

drink more tea! don’t put anything in it ( maybe a lemon? but i have always thought that just straight black tea was the best ). 

try to restrict sugar in tomorrow’s meals! 

i hope this helps out my fellow students after a regretful binge! happy ( and healthy ) studying!

Staying healthy during the academic year is VERY important!! I’m on the quarter system at UCLA which leaves NO time for students to get sick and miss class. Thankfully I haven’t had any medical issues that have kept me from missing weeks of class, but prevention is key!

Here are some tips I followed last year to feel my best for schoooooool.

September monthly 🍂 I cannot find a monthly that works for me, so here’s something new. I have a good feeling about this one!

[chlenastudy-blog]

MBTI types are a pretty accurate way to asses your personality, and it can be super useful to know yours. Ahead are a few tips to build a study style based on your personality. If you don’t know yours, you can find out here. 

e (extroverted)

Extroverts gain energy from being around people. Studying around other people can help energize and motivate them. Study with a study buddy when it makes sense (group projects or for an upcoming test), or taking work to a coffee shop or library to be around people but still study on alone. If a coffee shop isn’t close by, listening to coffee shop sounds can also help. 

i (introverted)

Introverts need lots of alone time to recharge, so making a study space into a retreat can help them to feel relaxed and motivated. Introverts benefit from surrounding themselves with calming sounds, favorite foods, and everything else they need to camp out in their room for a few hours and work in solitude. 

s (sensing)

Sensing personalities like to focus on, well, their senses. This means that they’re likely very hands-on learners! Doing something with the information will help it stick, try to find a hands-on activity that relates to the information or take active notes if reading. 

n (intuition)

Intuitive students don’t need to experience something hands-on to understand it, so they can focus on understanding the information in other ways. Mind maps can be very useful to understand the relationships and connections between things, and look at the (often forgotten) little details and facts.

t (thinking)

Thinkers are very analytical and likely big fans of math and science. Analyzing information and laying all the facts out clearly will help it to stick. 

f (feeling)

Feeling personalities are very caring and are more focused with people than with facts. Finding a way to relate to the information will help feeling personalities to understand it. 

j (judging)

Judging personalities are very organized and task-oriented. Keeping their study space clean and organized will prevent stress, and keeping a detailed planner will keep them on task. 

p (perceiving)

Perceiving personalities, on the other hand, like to be flexible. They benefit from having a loosely scheduled to-do list that can be adjusted based on their bursts of energy. They may benefit from self-imposed deadlines to motivate them. Making work fun is also important to them, as is an occasional change of scenery.

27 aug. 2017; 12/100 days of productivity

Sorry for posting so late today! keeping productive is pretty challenging hehe~ here’s an old spread because none of the “productive” stuff I did today was physical!

I studied for my Spanish quiz tomorrow and visited my grandparents! it was really nice to see them :) It’s back to school tomorrow so I need to get to bed soon… or so I tell myself :/

tip :  use  a  sketchbook  as  a  planner  if  you  like  to  be  more  artistic  with  your  spreads !

Every year when January rolls around I have the urge to simplify – to start the new year fresh and clean and uncluttered. This doesn’t mean getting rid of everything (I’m faaaar from being a minimalist), just getting rid of the things that weigh you down. So, here’s the unofficial guide to simplifying without going full-on Marie Kondo. 

physical clutter

What’s the area in your room that stresses you out when you see it? Start there. A few quick tips on how to clean specific areas:

closet

Take allll your clothes out of your closet, wardrobe, or dresser

Put the things you know you’re keeping back in right away – your favorite jeans, that black dress you wear all the time, etc

Once you’re left with just the ‘maybes’, try every item on.

If you wouldn’t buy it all over again, it should probably go.

Don’t just toss what you don’t want, though! Donate it to a local thrift store, charity, or church with a community closet.

desk + shelves

Again, start by completely clearing off your desk and study area.

Go through your binders and make sure everything is in it’s correct place

Migrate materials from old classes into files out of the way if they’re important, or toss them if you won’t use them again.

 Make sure everything has a home – pencils should be in a bag or mug, papers in files or trays, and notebooks neatly stacked.

Make a point to clean your desk regularly!

If you have supplies you don’t need, donate them! Let’s be real – you have way more pens than you could ever use.

Books are also a wonderful thing to donate! Your local library or thrift shop would be my top pick. 

If you still have old textbooks laying around, list them on your school’s bulletin board to sell, since most thrift shops won’t accept them. 

under your bed

Let’s be real: most all of this can go. Grab a trash bag and toss anything that’s not important.

You can get one of those rolling tupperware under-the-bed organizers, or just stick what has to stay under there in a thin  cardboard box.

Be sure not to leave things loose under there, or you may end up with some unwanted pals living under there ~

digital clutter

I don’t know about you, but I feel like I have a lot of digital clutter. It’s so easy to build it up and forget about all that you have stored on your computer!

Go through your phone and delete photos you don’t need, apps you don’t use, and old messages. 

Do a major computer overhaul! Delete old files and programs so that you have more space.

Put all your files into folders so that they’re easier to find later on.

Take a look through your friends and following lists, and delete all those people that post negative things.

mental clutter

This is the big one. Mental clutter comes from all of the above, plus just living your life. Some tips for decluttering your mind:

Do a nightly brain dump. Before you get into bed each night, open up your journal and write down everything that’s on your mind. Once it’s on paper, you can let it go until the morning. 

Find relaxing habits to practice everyday: yoga, taking a warm bath, going for a run, etc

Practice mindfulness or meditation

Keep a planner!

Practice not letting yourself harbor bad thoughts

Stay away from negative people if you can. You don’t need negative attitudes to be adding your already stressful life!

simplify your schedule

Learn to say ‘no’ more – if you don’t want to go to your friend’s-cousin’s-niece’s dance recital, don’t.

Streamline your daily routine;

Get ready faster by nixing the makeup you don’t love to put on and finding quick and easy hairstyles

Make an outfit idea board on Pinterest and fill it with outfits that you can make from pieces you already have in your closet so you spend less time finding an outfit 

Cook meals in advance when possible, or stick an easy meal in the crockpot before you leave for the day

Tidy every room just a bit before you leave it, so that you don’t have to devote an hour to cleaning it later on

Make time for you each week

See if there are any chores that you can outsource (eg, some grocery stores will shop for you for free, all you have to do is order online and go pick it up)

Don’t feel like you have to participate in something you don’t enjoy. If you don’t love the sport, don’t play it

I hope you all have a very simple and relaxing year, good luck to you all!
