if you are worried about your grades, i got you.
i graduated recently with honors and got top grades even though i barely attended and was doing horribly my first year. (which could’ve heavily impacted my overall gpa)
⤷ well, it’s very simple.
1. stop putting your grades, school, university, etc. on a pedestal.
you need to acknowledge the fact that it’s not only possible to put people in your life on a pedestal, but also other things in life. treat your grades exactly like an sp. there is nothing higher than you. there is nothing out of your reach. put yourself on that damn pedestal and stop thinking that good grades are unachievable.
2. you’ve always been smart, you’re just aware of it now.
know your worth. know you’re smart. know you’re special. know that you get special treatment from your professors/teachers. and don’t just know it, claim that you’ve been born with it. you are not just smart, but beyond intelligent. know your worth and don’t underestimate yourself. you can be aware of any reality. any possibility. choose to be aware of the one that benefits you because even if you believe that you’re not smart in your current one, there is a reality in which you’re literally the top student.
3. stop being so bothered. it’s not the end of the world.
please do yourself a favor and stop being worried and bothered to the point you ruin your own mental health over something that honestly, doesn’t really matter that much. there are thousands of people who achieved their dreams without any education. millions of people who graduated with normal or below average grades yet achieved so much. your life and success do not depend on your grades. education is a system. a man-made one. and any man-made system is not above the law. so stop stressing. it’s not the end of the world. they’re just grades. they do not define your worth or success in life.
4. if people in your life are stressing you tf out:
remember that everyone is you pushed out. they’re just reflecting your own fears. they are YOU. so, why would you care about their opinion or expectations ? you only need to validate yourself. if they’re pressuring you to get good grades, know that they’re just mirroring you so their words are less effective. yk that it is within you so you’ll simply change that. be relaxed within, and that’ll reflect outwards.
5. before persisting to get good grades, persist to better your health.
you can manifest even if you’re in the depths of hell. however, there is nothing more precious or important than yourself. your well-being. always treat yourself with care. look at yourself from a third person perspective and feel empathetic towards yourself. nothing deserves your mental health to be wrecked. so, persist that you’re fine. that you’re okay. do some techniques. meditate. script. do breath work. eft tapping. whatever. you don’t even have to do techniques. listen to or watch something you love. eat or go to a place that brings you peace or joy. you can also go within and use your most powerful tool (imagination) and imagine scenarios that bring you peace and stability. maybe drink tea before doing so then play some soft music or a meditation.
6. you deserve princess treatment and to be favored everywhere you go.
yes, you do. just assume and persist in the fact that you stand out and your teachers/professors are always rooting for you. my self-concept was so high when it came to this that so many professors remarked my papers giving me the highest grades. (going from 11/20 to 17/20 for example, which was as same as the highest grade the other students got !) i even manifested my professors praising me in front of everyone and clearly favoring me in all aspects. they would treat me so well compared to others and always remarked my papers or gave me high grades even on my presentations. and i’d like to note that in school, i didn’t have the same experience. so it was a total shift for me. so, yes. it is 100% possible. everyone else’s experience with my professors was negative or neutral. so this proves it.
7. when you enter your exams, do your assignments, etc. live in the END.
i always did that. before entering any exam. starting any assignment. any presentation. any project. i’d just live in the end that i already got excellent grades and that i’m an A student and everyone around me reflected this as well calling me an “A student” just by continuously telling myself and affirming that i’m one ! i would imagine that i already received my reports and got straight As. so no matter what i did on any of these, i didn’t care. even when i did horribly or didn’t completely finish any of them, i’d tell myself, well, i already got an A. i’m not saying that i didn’t study at all but i didn’t really put that much effort into anything. remember, you can’t be stressed when it’s already yours. you already know the truth. you already know what will happen. you already know you succeeded and you’re an A student so why should you worry ? be it.
8. manifest other people helping you.
i’ve manifested so many notes and help from people around me. even in group projects, i loved being the leader but sometimes, i felt like i didn’t care that much so i just assumed that they’ll take care of it (mind you, most of the people i was assigned to be with where either the type to do nothing at all or were the type to be really strict), and they did. they put absolutely no pressure on me and did everything whenever i just assumed that they will and won’t bother me about it. you can also manifest people sending you their notes if you don’t have any or don’t want to write ones. always remind yourself that resources are everywhere and people around you would do anything to help you and make your life easier.
9. you graduated. you’re happy. it’s done.
tbh, this is what kept me going the most. i acknowledged the fact that i’m going to graduate 100% like obviously i won’t stay here forever. i just kept thinking about my graduation day and guess what, it came so fast. the years i’ve spent in uni, i don’t even remember them. whenever you’re stressed, just imagine yourself graduating and know that it’s inevitable. school and university are temporary. just ask anyone who has graduated, they’ll tell you the same.
these are currently a few points i had in mind. i hope they helped, even for a bit. feel free to ask me anything !
never forget that. <3 (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
