To all the high school students out there with mental illnesses

The thought of your future, especially when you struggle with mental illness, can be a scary thing. I remember feeling like I’d never make it to college, that I’d never make it out of high school, and if I did, I’d certainly never be able to survive college.

Let me tell you, I not only survived high school, but I got into the college of my dreams, and I am surviving here too. College can actually be so much better than high school in terms of accommodations for mental illness. I’ve got an adviser that helps me by getting me extended time on tests or excused absences or things as simple as letting me pet his therapy dog.

College isn’t necessarily for everyone, but don’t let your mental illness deter you from following your dreams, and don’t assume that college will be as unforgiving to your illness as high school can be sometimes. And if I can survive high school, then you certainly can! I believe in you! YOU CAN DO THIS! :D

[1/100 days of productivity] // started my multivariable calculus course

listening to: night changes - one direction

school mindset

essays - make each essay you write better than the last


 small assignments - aim for 100s, expect 100s, get 100s


 homework - pretend they’re assignments


 homework that’s not graded - pretend! they’re! assignments!


 tests - study for 100s, expect less


 long term projects - act like it’s due in four days -even when it’s not- until you’re done with it


 group projects - do not get angry


 presentations - pretend you’re obama

disclaimer - this works for me, it may not work for everybody, do not push yourself too hard!!

Early morning library session 📚

I’ve got some work for my BA thesis planned, some Esperanto, Irish and French! I hope I’ll manage to do everything as soon as possible so that I can go home and have an early lunch!

17 Things I Learnt in 2017 (Study Edition)

Some days you won’t feel intrinsically motivated. That’s ok. That’s why friends, motivational speeches and pump-up jams exist. 

You learn as much from your extra-curricular activities as you do from your formal education. This is where you’ll gain soft skills. 

Treat all subject matter as though its wildly interesting. If you speak about everything like it’s your favourite topic, soon enough you’ll genuinely find an interest in it. 

Pick subjects you like. Don’t pick a subject because your friends are doing it, it scales well or you think it’s what you should be doing.

Pick subjects you absolutely suck at. You don’t have to only pick subjects you know you’ll do well in - you can do things that challenge you; things that will make you grow.

Don’t pay too much attention to ranks. You don’t have to focus on others - only on beating yourself. 

Ask for help! Ask your friends, your teachers, your parents, your seniors - anyone who you think will listen. There is never any shame asking for help.

Study everything. Don’t neglect one subject in favour of another. Make sure every subject is getting time, even if it’s not an equal amount. 

Lists help a lot. Write down things. Tick them off as you go. 

Your academic goals don’t have to be the same as anyone else’s goals. You shouldn’t have to worry if your goals are higher or lower than anyone else’s - they are yours.

Studying with friends makes studying around exams a whole lot more bearable. 

Pay attention to your health. An ‘A’ grade is nice, but 8 hours of sleep per day is nicer. 

Pay attention to your friends’ health, especially around exams. Some of your friends might be struggling, make sure you’re there for them and you support each other. 

Talking about doing something isn’t nearly as effective as actually doing something. 

If you’re good at something, help someone else. It’ll help out the other person and help you better understand it if you help someone else understand it. Win-win. 

Sometimes you won’t meet your goals and that’s ok. Don’t let one failure overshadow all your successes. 

Do things you enjoy. Don’t give up your hobbies entirely just to focus on academia. You’ll do much better if you have time to have fun and relax. 

while you’re scrolling through your dash I just wanted to quickly say that you are a good and intelligent, kind and capable person and deserve the universe

thanks for your attention
