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.
3.14.17- a super super super late spread from late february,,,, life has been so hectic lately so i’ve been neglecting blogging again- i had three tests in one day, came down with strep throat, searched for a therapist, and had to deal with end of trimester deadlines all in just a short amount of time )); hopefully i can create a monster-sized queue and catch up with everything!

5 tips. On anything. I trust you with my life
+ I am of the belief that the environment in which we surround ourselves is a direct expression of our internal processes. You would be surprised how something as seemingly simple as cleaning up your room will improve your mental state. Feelings of confusion or disorganization are often exacerbated, if not caused by, clutter and dirtiness in our homes. Additionally, the 15-30 minutes you spend with yourself while cleaning, thinking, and listening to music also promotes mental clarity. Open windows, let in sunshine, burn scented candles or incense.
+ Prioritize your hair’s moisture when washing, cleaning is easy and a lot simpler than we make it seem, avoid stripping your hair of healthy oils for the sake of ‘squeaky clean’ hair. Condition your hair before shampoo, it helps maintain your hair’s natural oils before shampooing. Shampoo the roots only, the excess will clean the rest of your hair as you wash. Seal the moisture in your hair by using an oil. Dry your hair with an old t-shirt, not a towel, to avoid over-drying and breakage.
+ Write down important information. Passwords and other login info, the days you start and leave a job (necessary, trust me), write to-do lists, grocery lists with pricing of items you frequently buy, keep track of your mensural cycle if you have one, last doctors appointments, etc.
+ Use Sunday’s as your reset day. Meal prep, deep clean your home, organize your backpack, do a face mask, workout, stretch (I do yoga), recharge all of your electronics, set weekly goals, plan your Monday, do any assignments you’ve yet to finish (even if you still have time, you know the upcoming week will bring in more homework, assignments, and studying so it’s best to get as much done as you can before it piles up), do anything you need to do to have a fresh week.
+ Keep in mind that happiness is a mood not a destination or constant state of being. Perpetual happiness is not the goal, because it is unrealistic. The goal is to stay grounded once we run into hardships, to stay confident in our abilities to get through them. Work toward that.
Tools for Mentally Ill Students #1
Hey guys! So I’ve been thinking a lot about what I use to control my mental health and keep me on track to recovery. Little things that make life easier for when everything seems hard. They’re not going to work miracles, but they can at least help, so I thought I’d share them with you. Here’s part one.
The DBT Wellness Planner
This planner uses dialetical behaviour therapy to help you bring order to your life and keep track of your emotions. I received it as a gift a few months ago and it has helped SO much. I really recommend this.
Anxiety and Worry Workbook
A lot of students cannot access therapy, whether because of money or your family or whatever. Workbooks can help you start developing skills by yourself. It’s hard, but if you put just a small amount of time into it consistently, you could really help yourself overcome symptoms. Add it to your schedule like homework. I have chosen this workbook because anxiety is something so many students struggle with.
Fidget Pen
We all know by now that fidget toys can be more distracting than anything. However, a lot of people with anxiety and similar symptoms can find fidget toys grounding. This pen is perfect for study, as it’s less likely to be taken away from you by an ignorant teacher. Just make sure you’re the kind of person who is helped by these things!
Sleep Supplement
Sleep is something most students struggle with, and the side effects can be seriously damaging to your mental health. You may be able to get a sleep aid from your doctor, but many don’t prescribe them to young people for fear of them forming a habit. A natural sleep supplement might be a good alternative. Though they don’t work for everyone, and are not as strong as prescription meds, supplements with things like melatonin, magnesium, and valerian root can give you a little extra push towards sleep. I find them especially useful when I can’t sleep because of anxiety. (Always keep in mind your specific body and needs before taking supplements).
Pill Reminder Clock / Reminder Bottle / Portable Bag
Remembering to take meds can be hard. Even apps can be easy to miss and ignore. That’s why I’ve added three different options to help you remember your meds. The first is an amazing alarm clock that says stuff like “Good morning, please remember to take your morning pills”. The second is pill bottles with caps that automatically count down from when you last took your meds. The third is a set of containers that fit into a small, discreet portable bag.
Fitness Tracker
Regular exercise can be vital to help you regulate emotions and sleep. A fitness tracker can help you keep this up. You don’t have to fork out for a Fitbit, especially since you’re a student. There are plenty of cheaper options out there. One like this, with a heart rate monitor, can also be good for tracking anxiety.
Intake-Tracking Water Bottle
We’ve all heard it a million times- we should drink more water. It’s not gonna cure us, but it does help our overall health. However, it can be hard to remember to drink enough, which is where bottles like this come in. It’s clearly marked showing you how much you should have drunk by different times of the day.
Day 8 of MCAT Studying | The Nervous System | Jan. 27, 2018
Spent my Sunday bullet journaling in order to get ready for starting the new semester :) Also read Big Magic from Elizabeth Gilbert and I really recommend it to everyone who wants to be more creative !
01.31.18 – 24/100 days of productivity
hey everyone! sorry no moon pics :( but it was really fun to wake up at 3am and go look at the stars 10/10 would recommend. i mainly stayed in my dorm room this morning because i had a free period until noon and i also ended up sleeping in a bit \ (•◡•) /
shoutout to @georgeclaany for letting me use a computer because mine was out of battery :’)
i’ve spent the better part of today on this. hopefully i’ve retained everything i’ve written 😅
me: wants to be multilingual, a musical prodigy, an artist, an author, a poet, an honour student, working in a well-paying job, successful and happy
me: sits on my couch eating three(3) party-sized bags of salt and vinegar potato chips and watching thirty-one(31) episodes of my favourite tv show in one sitting
02.11.17 // 15/100 Days of productivity - Today I’m gonna receive my grade for the exam I made a couple weeks ago (and it went terribly) and I almost sure I’m gonna fail it, but even so I still have a small hope that I hadn’t done it so bad and the teacher recognizes my hard work and approves me, I’m so nervous aaaarg.
your life can look so different, so much better, in just a few months. keep going.
Finally finished all of my GCSE notes 🙌🏼
5 STUDY MOODS
I’ve seen study moods among the studyblr community and I think they’re super cute, so I decided to make some of my own. If anyone has already done any of these, I apologize! I did not mean to steal your idea. Nevertheless, I hope you try these out the next time you need inspiration to study. All study moods include 3 song suggestions and pictures.
The Hogwarts Experience:
Night time. (preferably winter). Big, brown desk filled with open textbooks and notes. Library, or a cozy room in your house. Candlelight, or lamps. Possibly near a fireplace. A cozy blanket to keep you warm. Subjects such as History, Science, or reading a book for a class. Harry Potter soundtrack playing in the background. A big cup of hot coffee.
Song Suggestions:
Hedwig’s Theme: Harry Potter Theme Song
Lily’s Theme: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
The Resurrection Stone: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
The All Nighter:
1am-6am. Night before a big exam, or on finals week. All your materials layed out on the floor. Energy drinks and coffee. Sweats and a huge t-shirt. Upbeat music playing to keep you awake. Lots of review, flashcards, practice tests. Possibly some friends with you.
Song Suggestions:
Never Be Like You: Flume ft. Kai
Gold: Kiiara
Help Me Lose My Mind (Mazde Remix): Disclosure
The Early Bird:
Early in the morning. A clean, white desk next to a window with sunlight pouring in. Studying just one subject, or reading a book. Eating breakfast and listening to soft, calm music. Birds chirping. Fall time. A cozy blanket thrown over your legs.
Song Suggestions:
Birds Flying High: MOWE
Earth Angel: The Penguins
Roslyn: Bon Iver & St. Vincent
The Comfy Kid:
Laying in bed after a shower. Very light studying. Reading a book, or watching video notes. Lots of snacks and pillows. Calm music. Warning: probably going to fall asleep. During sunrise or sunset. Maybe in bed with a significant other, or pet. Coffee.
Song Suggestions:
Sleep Walk: Santo & Johnny
Bloom: The Paper Kites
Sweater Weather: The Neighbourhood
The Workaholic:
A whole day committed to studying. No distractions. In a library. Classical music plying through your headphones. Writing essays and dong lab write ups. Coffee and snacks. Laptop, books, textbooks, and lots of notes. Alone all day.
Song Suggestions:
Primivera: Ludovico Einaudi
Mirror in the Mirror: Arvo Part
An Ending: Brian Eno
My take on the problematic side of the studyblr community
The problematic side of the studyblr community is no shocker. We all see those “perfect” blogs with all of the latest amazing stationery, ivy-league bound, 4.0+ GPAs, aesthetics galore, etc. I’m just here to say that you don’t need all those fancy/expensive pens, muji hauls, font-like handwriting, and crap to be a studyblr. The whole point of the studyblr community is to grow as a student alongside others that are pursuing their academic goals.
I go to a state university, have two part-time jobs, wasted the opportunity to earn amazing grades in high school that would get me a state-funded scholarship that would pay practically all of my tuition (I only got it back by working my ass off), and don’t plan on buying a kracaflaka bag (what I call kankens) any time soon. Does this make me any less of a person? Does this make me unworthy of being a good blog? No. I’m living life and minding my own while learning from my mistakes and becoming a better person. To all of you high school studyblr’s, don’t try to copy what you see is getting the most notes. Don’t get discouraged because your blog doesn’t have 10k followers, just study hard and focus on strengthening yourself not your internet persona
“just study hard and focus on strengthening yourself not your internet persona”
Well put. This is a good reminder of what we should all be practicing.
05.11.17 // 18/100 Days of productivity - Today Alvaro and I are working together non stop cause we have the final presentation tomorrow and we still have a lot of work to do! 💪🏻
