you know

once you stop fantasizing about that ideal version of yourself and start working towards becoming that person by setting your alarm clock earlier and actually going to the gym and actually volunteering at places and actually eating healthier and not procrastinating and working just a little bit harder you’ll realize that it was so easy all along. becoming your ideal self will only ever exist in your mind until you make the decision to work towards becoming that person. get up!! get going!! it’s now or never!! there is no light at the end of the tunnel!! get that flashlight and pave your own path bitch bc no one else is going to do it for u!!

my favorite random study tools

1. quizlet games. the gravity game on quizlet literally saved my german grade lol

2. white boards. i do all my math practice on these and it makes it not only easier to do the practice but way more fun!

3. youtube. youtube really pulls through when you don’t fully understand a concept based on how your teacher explained it. there are probably thousands of videos explaining any topic you can think of- odds are one of them will help you out!

4. ted talks. this isn’t exactly a study tool, but there are tons of ted talks that explain ways you can study/retain information. i highly recommend them!

5. act like you already have your dream job. do you want to be a journalist? act like you’re reporting on a major story when you’re writing an english essay. apply the same logic to any class/job. it makes studying more fun!!

6. podcasts. find a podcast on a topic for your class and give it a listen. they’re great because you can listen to them any time- when you’re walking to class, in the shower, while you’re doing other studying… just having it on will help you subconsciously absorb the information!

7. diy study guides. did your teacher not make a study guide for a test? make your own! go through all your notes for the unit and put all the important information into one document. this way you’ll have a one stop shop when you go to study for the test!

thanks for reading! x

This may be a vague question but, how can i give my life structure after school ends? I work best when im forced to follow a routine, deadlines etc and being “free” makes me lazier and unsatisfied because of that. I want to keep learning, reading, working out and generally improving myself but i dont know how to stay motivated and set my own goals

What Do I Do With My Life When School Ends?!?!?

1. Make a Routine. As you said, routines motivate you and help you to achieve goals and feel productive. Just because school has ended doesn’t mean your routine has to stop. Keep waking up at the same time in the morning and chunk your activities throughout your day as you would if you were still in school.

2. Find Your Hobbies. If you have hobbies already or are wanting to try out something new, schedule time in your day to do so. If you like to read, set aside an hour in your routine to read. If you want to learn how to knot, set aside a time in your routine to watch some knitting techniques on YouTube.

3. Work Out. Add working out at the gym or at home to your routine. I like going to the gym for an hour and a half or so. Add it to your routine.

4. Learn Self Defense. It’s never too late to learn some good ole self defense techniques, no matter who you are. See if your local gym offers some classes.

5. Get a Job or Internship. If you don’t have a summer job, look around your area for places that’ll be hiring in the summer. Fast food, retail, movie theatres, bowling alleys, skating rinks, libraries, etc. See if local colleges are offering internships and apply for any that might interest you or are related to your degree if you’re in college.

6. Volunteer. Volunteering makes you feel good and it’s good for your community. See if local animal shelters or nursing homes are taking volunteers.

7. Take Summer Classes. See if you’d be interested in taking summer classes and your local community college or even online. Learn something that you’re interested in or something that will look good on a resume. Learning to code, learning a second language, and learning how to use all of the MS Office Suite applications are all good options.

7. Take Day Trips. Take a day or a half a day to go somewhere that you’ve never been. It doesn’t have to be in another country or even another state. It can be a local restaurant you’ve never been to or a town you’ve only ever driven through. Drive until something catches your eye.

8. Hang Out With Friends. Obviously, the summer is about spending time with people you care about. Remember to spend time with your friends and family. And remember to keep everything within your routine so you’ll feel as productive as possible!

Good luck xx

i mean this in the nicest way possible you guys but you NEED to take better care of yourselves online. getting severely anxious about mass quantities of horrible things you cant change every single day is normal considering the internet’s ability to educate on worldwide issues, it shows that you have empathy and that you truly do care. but relentless knowledge of constant suffering on this scale is NOT something humans are psychologically equipped to handle. it’s okay to shut off. it’s okay to just take a break and enjoy yourself for a while in your own localized space
