I've had an IUD for almost a year now and it's the best thing that ever happened.

IUDs are SO dangerous/questionable, I know a lot of people are in favor of them, but I've heard a lot more negatives than positives, from family friends to girlfriends to articles in Cosmo (lol). A friend of mine had an IUD that had accidentally travelled up to her cervix, and if it had've been left for another week or so, could have caused enough damage for her to be unable to have kids. IMO, braving a needle and getting the implant is a far better option and has far fewer risks long term.

“travelled up to her cervix”?? you realize your cervix is below your uterus where the IUD is placed, right? Your cervix is essentially the upper part of your vagina (it’s the opening of your uterus).. so that doesn’t really make sense. It has nowhere “up” to go unless it proliferated her uterus and went into her abdomen during insertion. IUDs are also the most common birth control method in other parts of the world (like Africa and stuff) so I wouldn’t really say they are “questionable”. They’re just not super common in North America yet. There are risks (during the insertion and the side effects) but I wouldn’t say they are super dangerous..besides, I’ve had bad side effects on the pill and insertion risks are super low! The implant isn’t bad but I’m extreeeemely needle phobic!!! I couldn’t do it :/

33/100 days of productivity | Mar 7th, 2016

Today is the day I sit for the final exam I’ve been studying for during the last month and a half. 

[That is the Momentum extension for chrome, get it here]

Here’s some exam day advice:

Disclaimer: I’m probably not the best person to do this but let’s try.

. Don’t push yourself and try to study everything right before the exam. You’re not going to learn what you haven’t so far and it’s only going to mess with your brain. 

. Get a good night sleep the night before and -if you’re into it- drink black coffee in the morning. Plus: eat, your brain loves food.

. Check that you have everything you need for the exam, not just pencils, pens -yes, I take more than one black pen just in case- and erasers, but also any paperwork you may need (sometimes teachers let you have some papers that may be useful, so remember to take them! - I speak from experience as I forgot in two different occasions to do this and even though I did ok I could have done better if I’d had them).

. Stay away from your study material at least for a half hour before going to school/uni and taking the exam. (It’s a “what’s done is done” kind of thing, as I said in the beginning if this post).

. Try not to get nervous and do your best. I am the kind of person who gets super anxious before an exam, but as soon as I sit down and I start the exam I try to keep all that negative thoughts away and concentrate. Not the best piece of advice out there, for sure, but just remember that you worked hard to get there and that it’s not the end of the world if something goes wrong. 

And that’s it :) I’d say good luck but it’s bad luck to say that, right?

If you should be studying clap your hands

*clap clap*

If you’re on tumblr “refreshing” clap your hands

*clap clap*

If you’re trying to do well

but you’re in procrastination hell

If you should be studying do it now.

Spent a couple of hours at the university library before my late afternoon class today, reading about the Ottoman Empire. I really like that there’s so much natural light here! The lack thereof is the exact reason why I never go to the library at home.

I was really ill during the first week of classes, so had to spend the previous week catching up – this week I finally feel like I’m getting into a rhythm.

21.2.2016 2.46 p.m. - 54/100 days of productivity - Rewriting some old history notes from my 1st year of upper secondary school! I think my skills might have leveled up just a bit- I only used a pencil back then haha! Yes I know I have miserably failed the 100 days of productivity challenge. But I’m going to keep going anyway :) Hope you’re all having a fantastic day! x

100 days of productivity: Day 36 

I’ve discovered a new room in the library! Which is always exciting!! It’s reading week this week and I’ve got quite a lot of work to do so hopefully I can get a lot done today and that’ll take the pressure of a bit. Hopefully. Hope you all have a great Sunday!!

Goals

Aside from kicking ass and being productive for my Systems and Society course I want to learn how to do inversions. I've always thought being able to handstands and yoga poses like scorpion would be the coolest thing. So today I'm just going to start! Here's to going after your goals in an active way :)
