Airport thoughts

Airports are the best place for people watching. That sentence always sounds weirder than it is, but its intriguing to try and imagine what people are doing and where they’re going … listening to music just observing and making up scenarios, whether that girl over there is writing a report for her boss that's due at the end of the week and its the report that could alter her life forever or whether shes just playing an intense game of sims and two of her sims have just got married and had kids. Its always weird to think that other people have their own lives, families all going on around you. Really its quite self absorbed of us to not really think or care about those who we don’t know, even if they have their own lives, relationships and struggles mainly because they don’t affect our lives. People typing like their lives depend on it, and its fun to imagine that the woman using individual fingers to type on her laptop is writing a book and its about her travels around the world, or again whether she is just really enjoying an online word search or crossword.

content topic - pcos & my "symptoms", hospital appointments

okay so about a month ago i had a hospital appointment for an ultrasound as i told my doctor i wanted to be tested for pcos given that my mum has it and i have similar issues to her, them being thick body and facial hair and it being almost 2 years since i had a period.

anywaysssss.... so i went to the appointment the 26th of last month i believe and i have to wait till the 30th of this month to have my phone call to find out what was on the ultrasound. However, many people with hormone related issues will know this already but. Some people with pcos can have pcos without cysts on the ovaries and some people can have said cysts but not have pcos therefore if i dont have it, i'm going to request a blood test to look at my hormone levels as i'm assuming my level of testosterone is the reason for my facial hair being so bad. i genuinely hate it, i have a boyfriend and i've told him about it but i wont let him touch my face if i havent shaved because i think it feels awful and it looks just as bad, he does his best to tell me i look beautiful no matter what and he's so so supportive but i'm hoping there could be some form of solution for the hair growth --- side note---- [If anyone with facial hair due to pcos or any hormonal issues and you have spoken to the doctor about it pls could you let me know what advice they gave :) as my skin on the underneath of my chin really hates me because of the constant need to shave - i've used hair removal cream (both for the face and for sensitive skin) and shaving but neither make the hair go away for long periods, it grows back in a few hours]

Uni exam destress <3

This week my uni sent us an email for the weekly HallsLife as they do each sunday/monday and on this weeks there was a sign up to receive a free destress package from the uni for after exams! all we had to do was tell them about how we destressed outselves!!

I received these products and some other nice things like a vanilla reed defuser, some skittles, chocolate and a paint by numbers which i thought was a lovely touch <3 (the stress ball has got to be my favourite out of everything! - as well as the hot chocolate)

📚Do you ever want to read more but just can’t seem to? Maybe you’re having reader burnout.

If you do, here is How you can get out of a reading slump:

•Read a shorter book

•Block out time to read, for eg when you wake up or before you sleep 

•Start a virtual “reading hour” with a friend 

•Create a cozy reading environment

•Listen to a funny/interesting audiobook 

•Read books you enjoy or that teach you something (or both) 

•Join a book club, haven’t found the one you like? Create one 📚

What you should recognize:

•Why you don’t feel like reading

•Are you having reader burnout?

•Are you reading for a ‘number’ goal? (that will inevitably cause reader burnout as you try to read book after book without actually enjoying reading)

•Are you turning reading into a chore? 

•Have you turned it into a challenge?

Once you recognize what you’re doing, it will get easier to get out of your slump.

Take away and extras: 

•Read books you enjoy! It shouldn’t feel like work, this is what you do in your spare time! 

•If you don’t like what you’re reading, you might go months without touching a book. 

•Block time for reading (in your schedule/calendar) as often as you can, even if it’s just 5 minutes a day! 

•Read to learn new perspectives and ideas because ultimately that will help you grow and improve as a person(And will make you want to read more!).

•Enjoy the process, life is too short to waste on a bad book.

•If you’re not enjoying a book, don’t feel the need to finish it just to add a book to your ‘read’ list. It’s not worth it if it.

Put the bad book down!!

[24/05/2021] - DESTRESS YOURSELF <3

Sooo... exams were over from the 20th and I've been chilling and I've decided to buy some colouring pencils and a colouring book to help myself destress because it is important to destress because if you don't it can lead to what some people call 'burning out' you're mental health is what is most important in order to keep chugging on with studies in education!! pls don't forget to look after yourself first and studies second. It is okay to take time for yourself, to ensure you are the best you, you can be :)

shitty advice of a college student. (part two)

(read part one here.)

sit where you’ll pay attention. sometimes this doesn’t necessarily mean sitting in the very front; personally, I like to sit more in the middle. it gives me a good view of my professor and at the same time makes me feel a lot less self-conscious.

not sure about shit? talk to your professor. email your professor. clarify things and show that you’re a student who cares about more than just showing up.

get to class on time!!!

when you email professors always say THANK YOU for their time and help! remember that they’re not required to put in extra time to help you; but the good ones just do. make these people love you!!! a good relationship could turn your B+ into an A- at the end of the semester.

reaching out to both your classmates and your professor when you’re absent is your responsibility.

please eat. and drink water. everyday. I mean it.

being a good student means that you will have shitty days. a lot of them. sometimes things go wrong, or you have more work than you can handle, or you end up getting a C on a quiz you thought you studied your ass off for. that’s okay. life happens. shit happens. let yourself feel shitty sometimes.

once again: let yourself feel shitty sometimes.

unless you want to die, don’t cram for your exams!! plan ahead. study a little bit every day so that the information is retained and you don’t have to study as much the night before. the process works. planning ahead will actually make you work less. trust me.

know that mistakes happen and life goes on. sometimes there’s just nothing you can do to change something. acknowledge that you’ve done everything you could, it was worth trying, and move on. mistakes happen so we can learn from them. 

be realistic with your daily to-do list. if you spent all night studying your ass off for that mid-term and you know that you won’t have the mental energy to get a whole list of things done the next day, then they can wait! pace yourself and get done as much as you are capable of doing in one sitting.

you don’t have to look gorg going to class but if putting together daily looks and getting ur face beat gives you that motivation to go to school than you go girl!!!!

it does not matter if another student your age seems like they have it all together; because chances are, they don’t. no one does. we are all struggling to get shit done. we all have our own journeys. it is not a competition. no path is more valuable than another.

stress doesn’t mean you’re entitled to being an asshole. the people in your life probably know that you have a lot on your plate. they’re trying to live their lives as hard as you are. don’t be a dick about it.

Study Tips!

----------------

Studying can be hard, especially when procrastination is just so easy to do. One of my tips to make your studying session much more productive is to use the app Flora!!

All I do when I need to study or revise it to use Flora to set out a balance of Focus time and Break time :)

As you can see in the picture, you can choose a specific time you would like to spend studying and how long you'd like to have a break for, while you're studying the app begins to grow a plant. If you complete the time, it will post on your profile that you've successfully focused for a length of time and have grown a plant/tree. However, if you leave the app to procrastinate during the time, you will kill the plant and that will be posted.

(You can even add a price to killing the tree, so you lose money each time you lose focus)

--------------

Finally, there are many versions of this app out there on the app store, this one is completely for free. However, there is another app which is similar and is £1,99 but I like this version as it is for free and has the same aspects.
