Two years ago I decided to go to the Russian State University of Humanity to study intercultural communication. Two years of hard work passed by and a month ago I got 94/100 points on my russian exam, 89/100 on history exam and 91/100 on English exam and I'm the 4th out of 9 people who will get free education there. If you do not believe in yourself, if you're procrastinating all the time — I am the proof that you will reach your goal if you work. Just keep going. 💙🌿

Wake up and open your curtains. Your windows too.

Drink some tea or coffee, whatever pleases you. Notice every sip.

Have some fresh fruit and finish breakfast feeling full.

Stand outside and feel the air. Cool or warm, it will make you feel real.

Get some exercise. Yoga to soothe, running to breathe, lifting for strength.

Take care of your body. Have a nice shower and pamper as much as you want afterward. 

If you’re going to work, remember you have the chance to make anyone’s day or to ruin it. Act accordingly. 

Weed out the bad language. It’s only creating tension in your body and mind. Kind words are infinitely more appreciated.

Take some time each day to improve your mind. Keep reading that great book. Listen to an incredible piece of music. Practice an instrument or a skill. The progress is its own reward.

Pictures will help you remember how wonderful life is. But spend less time on your phone and more time seeing the world face to face. 

Go to sleep knowing that you have done well. Tomorrow is there with room to become even better.

-Notes to myself on how to become a better person this summer.

Me: No need to write that fic idea down I’ll remember it later.

Also Me 3 Hours Later: WHY THE FUCK DON’T I WRITE ANY OF THESE IDEAS DOWN AHHDFSKDHFDSJFKD…..

Me 3 seconds later: I am going to start carrying around a notepad to correct this injustice.

Me the next day: This notepad is pointless, I’ll remember that idea later.

Me that night: WHY THE FUCK-

Study Tips With Hermione

   A few years back, i would spend a LOT of time watching ‘’Study Tips’’ on Youtube, but now i have my own study method that works really well (at least for me). I also like Hermione Granger very much, and she is one of the characters that inspire me the most (I’m thinking about making other study tips post, with the others). 

1- Read. Read. Read. 

Read as much as you can. Really, this helps a lot. Read from different sources, about the same subject. For example, in February i was taking  origin of life classes, so i read my school book, and then, i went to universities websites to look for MORE information, my dad is a biologist so i asked him his books from university about this. Honestly, if you read just small curiosities about it, it’s great. But, don’t waste your time in something that won’t add anything to you.

2- Ask questions in class. Or answer them.

I’m a pretty shy person with social anxiety, so i don’t use this tip often. However, when the class is over, i go to the teachers and ask them privately. If a teacher ask for you to answer something, try to relax, if your answer is wrong, there’s no problem. The teacher will correct you or ask why, and you’ll learn from it. A had a few teachers that told me that, it’s better to make a mistake during the class than to make a mistake in the exam.

how to start studying after school

clean up your desk: it’s hard to concentrate when there’s a pile of rubbish on your desk. the chance of you fiddling with things is also higher! you’ll get more done by cleaning your desk! if you’re looking for an easy way to organise your desk, check out these handy organisers!

get your books: get out all the books you need to study that particular subject. if it’s geography, an atlas might be handy.

get a notebook: if you’re in uni or college it’s a good idea to re-write all your notes for your classes that day. make them look clean and tidy. if you’re in secondary school and you’re studying for a test, summarize everything you have learned. in any case, it’s best to have a few notebooks on your desk too. here’s a 4 pack of spiral notebooks for $7.04!

grab some pens: seems self explanatory! i recommend you having an ordinary pen, a highlighter and a pencil on hand. (a.k.a. the basics!) here are some super cute gel pens!

turn off your phone: by turning off your phone, you will get less distracted by social media. sure, people won’t be able to reach you but you’ll get some peace and quiet. obviously leave it on if you’re expecting an important call!

look for a study playlist: if you easily get distracted by your laptop too, skip this step. i personally find it harder to get distracted by my laptop than my phone, so i leave it on and look for some music to study to. here’s a masterpost of some good playlists to listen to!

get a glass of water: you really need your h2o, everyone. grab a large glass or fill up a water bottle. some super cute ones: i ii iii

get a healthy snack: if you’re like me and you love snacking on things while your studying, the best thing to do is to grab something healthy. cut up some apples and sprinkle some cinnamon on them (try it. it’s amazing.), grab some hummus and some celery or carrots or cucumber to dip in it, fill a little bowl with nuts, treat yourself to a square of dark chocolate! if you’re studying during dinner time or lunch time, make yourself a nourishment bowl to nibble on. for more study snack ideas, go to pinterest and snoop around the study snack tag for a while. try out my favourite smoothie bowl too!

take a deep breath: i know from personal experience that sometimes the workload can be really scary and freak you out. the most important thing to do is to take a deep breath and to tell yourself you can get through all your work. you can do anything if you try hard enough!

get cracking: now that you’ve done steps 1-9, you can actually start studying! good luck!
