day 2/50- Now that school is starting again for most, I’ve decided to share with you guys some of my favourite organization tips! These have helped me through my senior years of high school and definitely keep me in check during the stressful times. I’m going to cheat and say this is also part of my 50 day countdown until end of exams!

Make backups of EVERYTHING- Can’t stress this enough. You never know when something will happen to your laptop or phone- short circuiting, dropping water on the keyboard (from experience), crashes the night before- save them on a 1TB passport or USB to keep them safe. 

To-do lists- These are my musts for organization, I’m not sure how I would be able to get anything done without the satisfaction of ticking things off the list! If you don’t prefer the pen-and-paper method, there are online to-do lists like Wunderlist that are great as well!

Phone Apps- Having a phone on hand everyday means that you have easy access to your schedule. There are many great apps that allow you to track your day- my favourites  being the Timetable app (for class schedules), Wunderlist for my phone, Pocket (for keeping my websites saved) and in particular, Anote (for iPhones!)

Wall Calendar- There are many beautiful printables ontumblr that allow you to visualise this in an aesthetic way. The ones that I personally use are made by @.thearialligraphyproject !

Invest in a good planner!- I’ve owned a planner every single year since I was 10 (goodness knows what I had to do at that age!) but it has helped me be organised and see my schedule on a weekly basis. Whether you present it in a conventional or in a bullet journal, I put any events coming up, my times for after school classes, timetable and any other miscellaneous activities.

And this is where Best Self Co comes in! They have a beautiful 3-month SELF journal that allows you to track what you’re doing daily, plan out over months and plenty of space for planning! Check it out here.

I hope these have helped!

HEY this is a reminder that failing tests and missing classes are okay. And that unfinished journals and planners are okay. Cheap stationery, messy notes, they’re all okay. Don’t stress about these stuff too much.

[lalalalalalatudy-blog]

Part 6 of my Studyblr University Orientation Week. 

I see a lot of people on studyblr talking about dealing with stress and anxiety over grades and perfectionism, but not a lot of discussion of being mentally ill and in university/college. So if you’re looking for stress reduction stuff, this post is not for you. This is for my mentally ill peeps. 

I just want to preface this with a little disclaimer. This is based on my own experience. I have depression, anxiety, ADD and OCD. I don’t know everything. I still have a lot of trouble coping, particularly with the last two as they were only recently diagnosed. This is just meant to be a few useful tips that might help a little bit. 

Go see a therapist. Even if you think you’re doing okay, it’s still good to have that support system there if you need it. Your therapist can also give you coping mechanisms that are tailored to your specific needs. They may also suggest you go on medication or refer you to a doctor who can prescribe it. 

If you are taking medication, set a reminder on your phone so that you take it at the same time every day. 

Set about sixteen alarms in the morning, starting half an hour before you want to wake up and spread about five to ten minutes apart. If you’re anything like me and have a lot of trouble getting to sleep, you probably have a lot of trouble getting up in the morning. This technique is a lifesaver. Also change up the alarm ~once a month. I find that my body gets used to it after a while and I just sleep right through it. 

Register with your school’s disability services. Yes, your mental illness is a disability. They’ll be able to help with accommodations (this could be anything from extra time on exams to extensions on your assignments). 

If you think that you might be handing in a paper late because depression is kicking your ass, message your professor at least a week in advance. If you tell them two days before, they’re not going to care. And if you end up not needing the extension, that’s okay. It’s better for it to be there if you need it. 

Headphones. Everywhere. People are stupid and loud and it’s overwhelming as fuck. Wear them right up until the prof starts lecturing. Do NOT wear them during the lecture though, your prof will hate you - though you may be able to discuss it with your prof the first week. idk, maybe you have cool profs who get it. 

Make a friend in your class that you can get notes from in case you can’t get out of bed. I mean this is good for anyone in case of illness in general, but yeah. Depression. Woohoo. 

It’s okay if you need to take a lighter course load because of your mental health. Loads of people do it. 

Related: It’s okay if you take 5+ years to complete your degree. You’ll get there. 

AD(H)D friends who stim: That’s super great and you totally should. But please do not leg bounce when you’re at a desk that has all the chairs connected to it. You will shake everybody’s seat and distract them. I get the urge to leg bounce (fuck, I’m leg bouncing rn) but please try a different stim if you could. Or bounce gently. Just no earthquakes (no joke, I literally thought it was an earthquake once and was super confused why no one else was panicking. i learned nothing that day, I was so distracted). 

Fidget toys are the best things ever and you can use them in lecture (provided they don’t make too much noise because your prof might yell at you for that). 

Bathrooms are your new best friend for panic attacks. Hide in a stall and take a few deep breaths to calm down. There’s a lot less noise there and you’re less likely to be disturbed than if you go to a stairwell. 

Breathe in for 5, hold for 5, out for 7. 

5-4-3-2-1: Find five things in the room that are blue. Four things that are yellow. Three that are pink. Two that are purple. One that is green. You can substitute this with any colours you like. You can also do ones like “think of five things that start with f (and so on)” or “five tv shows that you like, four books, etc.” if you’re somewhere without a lot of colours (or in your handy bathroom stall). Repeat with new criteria or new answers until calm. 

If you’ve been crying and don’t want people to know: grab some paper towels, run some cold water on them. Wipe your eyes with them. Pat your cheeks with them. It makes less of a mess than splashing your face will and I find that it helps me a lot more. 

Schedule the shit out of your life. You won’t forget important meetings or things like eating dinner (whoops). 

Make sure that you give yourself plenty of breaks during the day. Gotta conserve that energy, yo. 

Find out when the library’s quietest and grab your books then. Same deal with the bookstore at the beginning of the year and buying your books. Please, the bookstore is scary when it’s busy. Save yourself. 

Frozen dinners are cheap, easy to make, and require next to no energy. Same with cereal, ramen, and most pasta. And egg sandwiches (two eggs, hot sauce, and mayonnaise. Best thing ever.). 

Great questions to ask the people who sit next to you in class: What’s your name (preface this with “Hi, I’m *blank*”)? What are you studying? Where are you from? How are you liking the class? 

If you’re having trouble getting started, try for ten minutes. You may find that it’s easy to keep going after that. Or maybe you’ll need to stop but at least you’ll have gotten ten minutes of work in. 

You’re doing great. This is a really hard thing that you’re doing right now, but you’ve got it.

“My philosophy is worrying means you suffer twice.”

The housemates bought me Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and I wish I was reading it instead of reading my biology textbook. BUT I only have two more exams, and two more lab meetings to wrap up this semester. Favourite teacher is flying back from Korea to visit over Christmas break, favourite people are coming home for the holidays (thought I wouldn’t be able to see them this year) and my favourite place on earth is wonderfully snowy (huzzah Banff!), so life is pretty good :)
