unconventional study tips

- buy yourself new stationery: i get so excited about using new pens that i don’t mind writing that essay i’ve been putting off for days

- use a playlist as a study timer: have a selection of instrumentals and songs with lyrics. take a break everytime a song with lyrics comes on and work during the instrumentals

- make your study space smell fresh: mint and lemon tend to be good options

- write down how much time you spend studying for a test and then the grade you got: then you can figure out how time you really need to spend to get a good grade. this will help you use your time more effectively

- spend your study breaks showering or exercising for about 30 mins: then come back fresh and quickly review what you have learned. this will help the information sink in

- don’t always study in comfy clothes or pyjamas: do your hair or makeup if you want too. this will put you in ‘get shit done’ mode

- record yourself explaining topics you’ve just studied: explaining/teaching topics helps you learn so much better, and you also have a little video to review before tests

A Beginners Guide to Thrifting

Thrifting is dope af. It’s great clothes for a great price. You can find unique pieces that no one else will have or you can get some popular high end clothing for a low price. Here are my tips for anyone interested in becoming a thrifter…

The dirtier the store the better: I know this sounds gross but if you want to find unique pieces look for the grungy independent thrift stores. People usually avoid these so they’re less picked over. Also these stores are usually cheaper. And if you’re worried about catching some strange disease from your new dress just wash it! This is what washing machines are for. Also don’t worry about hats. Lice can only live on an object for three days so buying a hat from a thrift store is the same as buying one from retail. 

Ask about sales: Usually thrift stores (especially chains) have pretty frequent sales. My favorite thrift store in my town is half off every Saturday. Ask the employees if they have a list of their annuals sales or you could follow the store on Facebook. You’ll get even more a a bang for your buck. 

Look in all the sections: Look. Everywhere. From the children’s to the plus size mens section you can find something that you dig. Just because it says it’s a certain size doesn’t mean it’s actually that size. Someone could have donated it because it was to big or it shrunk in the wash. Plus you can always rock the oversized look.The mens section is my favorite place to find flannels  and the kids section has some great t-shirts. You never know what you’ll find. 

Figure out how long you want to shop: Your time limit depends on how you should shop. If you have all the time in the world search through one section at a time. Pro tip: start at the beginning of a rack and push on it until all the clothes shift to one side. Then you can easily look at the pieces one by one. If you only have a few minutes look in specific sections. Most thrift stores are organized by color. If you want a yellow shirt look on the yellow shirt rack. If you want a denim skirt those will have their own section too. If you don’t want a specific item I would suggest looking on the return rack. You can see what other people were interested in. Just because it didn’t work for them doesn’t mean it won’t work for you.  

Try everything on: Like I said before, a lot of the items aren’t the size the label says. Try things on to see their true fit. This can also prevent you from impulse buying. Don’t buy something just because it’s cheap, if you don’t like it on you in the store you won’t like it on you in your closet. 

Wear simple and tight clothing: Most thrift stores only have one or two dressing room if they even have one at all. Wear some simple and tight clothing like yoga pants, a tank top, and a cardigan. Layers are your friend. Find a mirror (There’s almost always a mirror) and just put on the clothes over what you’re wearing. This way you can avoid the line to try your shit on and theres no limit of clothing you can try on like there is in most dressing room. 

Hope this helps! Thrift on motherfuckers.

What is an “instant” death anyway? How long is an instant? Is it one second? Ten? The pain of those seconds must have been awful as her heart burst and her lungs collapsed and there was no air and no blood to her brain and only raw panic. What the hell is instant? Nothing is instant. Instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding an hour. I doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous.

People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used.

I’ve always liked quiet people: You never know if they’re dancing in a daydream or if they’re carrying the weight of the world.

01.27.16 ~ finally got around to redecorating my study space for the new semester this is the space above my desk !

love this list!

Abel’s Big School Supply List

aka: shit to bring when school starts up.

Backpack get one you like, that carries all your stuff. pockets are a bonus.

Pencil Case it is honestly easier than carrying lots of little things that are good to have on hand, many of which are listed below.

Pens get ones you like writing with, be it ballpoint, gel, or fine tip. as a general rule, bring black and blue for writing, and red for revising. feel free to bring a few other colors, but be warned that some teachers don’t want you to use the.

Pencils good for writing anything you think you could easily make a mistake on. use them for math. if you have regular ones, bring a small sharpener. if you use mechanical, bring lead.

highlighters good for annotating or taking notes. jut one or two will work.

usb even if you use google drive, bring one. you might have a weird project that you can’t use drive, or someone might need to borrow it because they forgot theirs.

paper clips sometimes you have papers that need to stay together and there’s no stapler in sight. these guys are nifty.

sticky notes good for annotating and for reminders.

granola bar or a similar small, packaged snack. sometimes you get hungry in class.

hard candy smarties, jolly ranchers, something like that. good for mid-algebra sweet cravings or rewarding yourself for finishing tat bio test.

band-aids people get hurt. keep cool band-aids for yourself or a friend.

pads and tampons i do not care if you have a vagina or not. there’s always that day when you aren’t prepared and it starts, and you have the horrifying realization that you don’t have one. keep well stocked to help yourself or a friend in need. no one will think you’re weird for having a tampon. you might help some poor kid. bring them.

$1 in quarters you never know when someone is going to need extra money, or when the band is going to have a sudden fundraiser selling chocolate

perfume people get smelly. bring a little bottle. pass it around.

hand sanitizer sometimes you touch something gross, simple as that.

hair ties and bobby pins even if you don’t use them, someone else will probably need one.

pain pills keep a dose of tylenol. sudden cramps or headaches can come on at the worst of times, and it’s nice to be able to treat it.

chapstick sometimes your lips get dry and icky, especially in the winter. buy yourself one specifically for school.

cough drops for those times when your throat won’t stop bugging you for no apparent reason. very good for choir members, especially when you’re getting ready for a performance and working your butt off.

ipod it’s good to have something to do on the bus, or in extra time, or art class.

phone/ipod charger even if you don’t use it, chances are, someone else would love to borrow it from you.

earbuds/headphones same as above. but if you’re using your ipod, for god’s sake use headphones. you may love iggy azalea in the middle of history, but those around you might not

water bottle you will get dehydrated during the day. drink lots of water.

notebooks bring one for each class. you may not end up using every single one because some classes don’t require them, but bring extra

folders you can bring one for each class, or have one for homework, or both. find an organization style that works for you.

3 ring binder some teachers require them, and sometimes it helps sort through things.

a book some english teachers want you to have a book for independent reading, and it’s nice to have one if you get bored after finishing work. i like to have one i haven’t started when i go in on the first day.

that’s all i’ve got for you right now! there will be classes that require other things, or they might not. it always depends.

good luck! if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
