Idk

Ok so I'm not sure if this will even make sense but I've just been feeling so stressed and completely overwhelmed when it comes to school lately so I'm trying to fix it. I feel like I'm drowning and I can't catch grip of anything. I'm normally a straight A or almost all A student but this year I have almost all B's and whatever isn't a B is a low A. I have missing homework in math, been getting D's and C's on quizzes and just I'm a whole mess. My notes are unorganized, I've barley made my own studysets this year, I'm just driving myself insane. So starting today I'm going to try to fix it. At this point I don't even care if my grades go up it's just knowing that I am at least trying to push myself.

So I am going to start by revising my notes. Anything that looks sloppy I'm going to completely redo

I'm going to start actually making study sets and doing them consistently

I'm going to make sure I do my homework. No more putting it off or having someone just air drop it to me

I made this post because I know if I record it I'll do it. No one will probably see this or read it but yeah. I'm going record my progress these next few weeks and see how I am improving and stuff

some back to school tips

since i’m going back to school in september (my final year of high school!!!) here are some Tips™ that make my life a little easier! 

SLEEP. I know, everyone says that. BUT. There’s nothing worse than going to school after less than 7 hours of sleep for me. I’m that person who will faint if they don’t get enough sleep so I treat it very seriously. Remember to sleep! 

BE KIND. It’s easy to fall into indifference. Be kind to your classmates. Treat yourself well. Even little things will influence your mood and help the day pass quickly. 

RESPECT SCHOOL EMPLOYEES. Teachers notice when someone is polite and doesn’t disturb them. Maintaining a good relationship with a teacher might help you a lot during the school year! It helped me get a better final grade in Physics. The teacher told me that my behavior in class influenced my grade (for the better!). The same goes for other people working at school. Those who clean the halls or make your lunch are extremely important - and they’re people, too. Saying hello to them isn’t that difficult. 

ENJOY THE WEATHER. Back to school season also happens to be the nicest season of all (imo) - AUTUMN! Think of a way to enjoy the sun and all those little things autumn brings to our lives: pumpkins, colorful leaves, perfect coffee weather… Try studying outside or go on a walk, if you can. Visit a local library. Studying by a window also works well!

BE YOURSELF. Is it the most boring advice in the world? Some may say so. But, entering my final year of high school, I’m so glad I’ve listened. School is definitely the time to figure yourself out and try new things! But don’t change everything in yourself just to impress someone. You are a human being. You are not made for consumption. 

EXIST OUTSIDE OF STUDYING. It’s something I had a problem with for quite a long time. I think it’s especially relevant in the studyblr community, where we post pretty pictures, talk about our progress and generally focus on our studies. And there’s nothing wrong with that! But make sure you have a hobby not connected to studying. It can be anything you want! It will help you find joy in life. 

CREATE THINGS. You don’t have to be good at it. Do it for your own enjoyment, or for the therapeutic feeling. Journal, write poetry, doodle, arrange flowers… There are so many things you can do and the feeling of having created something is incredible. I made a weird mini flower vase shaped like a flower. Is it Art™? No, but I’m happy about it. 

EAT. Your body is using a lot of energy for studying, absorbing knowledge, growing… Food is your body’s fuel. Without it, you will start having health problems. Make sure you’re nourished and hydrated! 

and some little study tips too! 

TRY STUDYING WITH OTHERS. Especially if you haven’t before. It may not be your cup of tea… but it might as well be! 

USE YOUR KNOWLEDGE. “Well, Felix, how will that help me with studying?” I know. It sounds obvious. But it works! Try finding uses of what you’ve learned in your everyday life. For example, I use my literature knowledge when I talk about movies with my friends.

FIND WHAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU. Colorful, aesthetic notes? Amazing. Flashcards? Great. Typing up your notes in comic sans? Cool! If a study method works for you, use it. 

IF YOU DON’T ENJOY IT, SURVIVE IT. It’s best for us to find something interesting in every class. But sometimes it just… doesn’t happen. If it’s an insufferable elective, you can drop it! No shame in that! But if it’s a class you have to take, do your best to survive it. Find a way to motivate yourself - maybe sit with a classmate who you like? Doodle things the teacher talks about? Play a game of how many times they say [chosen word]? Try not to hate the class and you’ll get through it!

USE THE REWARD SYSTEM SMARTLY. It’s really good to reward yourself for hard work. And it’s motivating! But don’t go overboard with it. Don’t say “I cannot watch this series until I get an A.” or “I won’t do a SPA day until I learn everything for the test.” You’re human. You deserve to relax. Self-care shouldn’t be conditional.

that would be it for now, everyone! i hope you’ll have (or are already having) a great school year! feel free to add any tips you have and enjoy your day! (and reminder to get a glass of water now!)
