first day of college started a few weeks ago and it’s been surprisingly relaxed in terms of workload :’) embracing this while it lasts and hopefully I don’t get slaughtered later,,
on a great note! the skies here in california are finally blue again and this morning I was treated with this lovely cloud masterpiece :)

I noticed I lack self-discipline. How can I gain that??? I feel immobile to doing anything :( #mentalhealth #advicehelp
hello, honey! I think we’ve all struggled with our self-discipline before. it’s a hard thing to master! so let me start this by saying:
self-discipline is a learned behavior! it takes practice! think of it like a muscle. the more you do activities that strengthen that muscle, the stronger it becomes over time.
here’s a few things that could help build your self-discipline:
break your goal into small, achievable goals
if you want to study better, start by studying for 5 to 15 minutes. if you want to go to sleep earlier, start with 15 to 30 minutes. if you want to be more organized, start by organizing one tiny section at a time.
give yourself a reward
I love to have something to look forward to as I get work done! having that anticipation can be very motivating. and you should reward yourself for the hard work you do! get an iced coffee after taking a test, watch your favorite movie after finishing a study session, have a “cheat day” every now and then! I think you get the gist
remove distractions/temptations
personally, if my phone is out and I notice a notification…I’m gonna check it. it’s constantly a temptation for me. so to combat this, I use apps like Forest or Tide that force me to stay within the app while I study. if having sweets in the house will make it challenging to keep your healthy eating habits, then perhaps you should remove the sweets. set yourself up for success!
forgive, love, and be kind to yourself
there will be times when you succeed and times when you fail. it’s a natural part of life! but please keep moving forward. it’s easy to beat yourself up and get caught up in the guilt…but be tender to yourself and acknowledge that you are trying! try to identify what caused your setback and then work to correct it next time! you got this ♡
September 1 2019
Can you believe it’s September already? Aka the year is basically over it’s going to be Christmas soon omg 😭 more importantly, my mcat is less than 2 weeks away and I am internally screaming
Moved into my new apartment today but didn’t set anything up yet because I came back to spend the rest of the weekend with family. We were gonna try to get this nice couch my parents have owned for a while into the apartment but IT DIDNT FIT THROUGH ANY ENTRANCES so ...it didn’t happen :(
The grey skies and time-faded stones send me into another time. One where it is autumn forever, and there’s a soft breeze that rustles the fading leaves around me, as I walk through the libraries and campus grounds.

Going back to school can be very nerve-wracking, so here are a few things that may help make it a bit easier!
1. Get enough sleep!
This one is super important, and something I personally need to work on. Getting a good night’s rest before school, especially the first day, will make you feel so much more confident and ready to get things done! Some people need more or less sleep than others, so before school starts try to figure out what time is best for you to go to bed so you’re prepared when the time comes.
2. Organize your supplies!
I always try to have my supplies all together before school starts, partly because I’m excited to use them and partly because it makes things so much less rushed on the first day! Having everything already in your backpack means you can just grab it and go when you need to!
3. Try to eat a good breakfast!
Personally, I’m never hungry first thing in the morning. But I know that when I get to school I will be, so I always pack a little something to eat before class starts. Eating in the morning actually helps your metabolism, and gives your body fuel to use during the day so you can learn better! Some of my favourite breakfasts are avocado toast, cereal, or a cereal bar.
4. Take breaks!
While it may seem like life or death for you to pass every test, it’s not! Everyone gets a bad mark sometimes, and you can afford to mess up. Don’t overwork yourself to the point of exhaustion, it will hurt you more than it will help. If you have a ton of homework to do, do a little bit then take a quick break to get a snack, read a book, or play a game for a bit. You’ll feel much better than if you just dragged yourself through all your work. Plus, you’ll remember more! I find studying really hard, and I tend to zone out if I’m not fully engaged.
5. Minimize your phone use!
I know, they’re tempting. Stuck in a boring class, studying, or trying to sleep? You’ve probably thought about getting your phone out. Don’t! (Unless you’re taking a break) It’ll only set you back further, or make it harder for you to fall asleep. If you struggle with this, there are some great apps to help! My personal favourite that I use all the time is Forest. You plant a little tree for however long you want to stay away from your phone, and if you leave the app, the tree dies. You can track your progress over weeks, months, and (I think) years. It costs a few dollars, but there’s also a free app called Flora that does pretty much the same thing!
6. Pick out your clothes the night before!
As someone who has a lot of trouble getting up in the morning, I can easily say this is a life saver! I always set out what I want to wear the next day so if I wake up 10 min before my bus comes, I’m not scrambling to find an outfit. Plus, if you get anxious about the first day like I do, it’ll save you a lot of worrying.
7. Make time for yourself!
This is one thing that I wish I had prioritized years ago. Spending 6 hours at school can be draining, both mentally and physically. After you get home, PLEASE take some time just to sit by yourself and unwind! Homework can wait until you recharge your brain. Get a snack, sit down, and just relax. You’ll feel so much better and ready to work afterwards!
10 Things I Wish I Knew Before University
You are going to feel like dropping out. I would say to stick it out for the first year and sit for finals. If you get a good grade for your finals, that could really give your confidence a boost and motivate you to keep going. And then, if you still feel like dropping out or changing majors, you should do as much research as possible.
Feeling pressured to do more things. During my first year, I said yes to everything–even things that I didn’t feel like doing. I felt like if I didn’t, I’d be missing out on something really important or fun. FOMO, basically. However, more often than not, I wasn’t missing much and these opportunities will arise again very soon.
Buying too many unnecessary things. I bought so many stationery and notebooks before I started uni in hopes that they would motivate me to study. I ended up not using even half of them my first year. At least, I’d be set for supplies until I graduate.
Revising in uni is not the same as revising in high school. I used to think I could study last minute for a test, like I did in high school. I learned the hard way that that wasn’t the case at all. Now, I review the topics after every lecture. The key is to keep up because all those lectures are going to pile up really fast.
Past papers are your new best friend. I find that professors have their favourite questions that they like to give out. During finals, they might even use the same exact questions as they did in tests!
Failing/Getting a low grade in a test isn’t going to ruin your life. I once got so caught up on that one test. But luckily during finals, I snapped out of it and just tried my best. My final grade wasn’t too bad. You live and you learn.
Wear whatever you want (as long as it doesn’t get you in trouble). When I wear a hoodie and sweatpants, I get comments that I look like I just rolled out of bed (which I did, duh). And when I have really nice makeup on and do my hair, I’m trying to impress someone. I think people just like to run their mouth and it’s nothing personal, so you shouldn’t care what they say anyway.
Keep in touch with friends outside your university. It can really come in handy during times when you really have to vent about someone in your classes. They can also help you keep grounded and have a different perspective.
You don’t have to love the library. I’m the kind of girl who studies lying on her stomach on the bed with papers and books surrounding me and my cat stepping on them occasionally. I think the library is too quiet and public for me. And if you’re the same way and prefer the cafe or elsewhere, then that’s okay too. The goal here is that you get your studying done.
Stay healthy. Whenever it’s near finals, I would abandon every other responsibility except studying. I would stop eating healthy and quit exercising, all in the name of making time to study. But they should go hand-in-hand with studying and not one or the other. I find that the better I take care of myself, the better my grades are. You should also get enough sleep–this, I never fail to do.
