i always think about that study where they had adults hold a baby, and when they were told the baby was a girl the adults said she was cute and small, and when they were told the baby was a boy they said he was big and strong. they rated the baby’s ability to do things and tendency towards certain toys differently. they even held the baby differently. (x) or when they rated the baby’s physical ability to do various tasks such as climbing up a slope differently, (x) & when they measured how much parents told their girl children vs. their boy children to be careful and stop being so rowdy (x), & when they measured how often girls and boys were told to be quiet. (x) this was, obviously, all unconscious behavior in the adults. they’re not all like, raving sexists who outspokenly believe that women can’t do stuff or that girls really should just be quieter, be more still than boys. like its not even counting the direct, actual messages, its just literally how every single person in your entire life treats you, and if asked they would probably deny that its even because you’re a girl. how the fuck am i supposed to believe this doesn’t affect a child’s development when its literally constant throughout the entire process

general advice

if you made it down here: good job that was a lot of scrolling

do not procrastinate! time management skills are so key to doing well. start a bullet journal (my tag) (sareena’s masterpost), start a studyblr (sareena’s masterpost), and just learn how to schedule your time well (sareena’s masterpost)

get good sleep. i looove sleepyti.me because i always wake up so alert.

take notes. if you don’t think you need to, do it anyway.

and, most importantly, take care of yourself. you can’t do well (or anything) if you’re not drinking water, eating, and sleeping. put your needs first.
