All my friends are preparing for some sort of exam to fulfill their universities conditions and yet here I am waiting for my admission decisions... Senior year is extremely weird when everyone is getting offers from all around the world but here are some psychology notes of my friend.

tips for dealing with panic and anxiety attacks
okay, i have to start this off by saying that i am in no way medically trained in dealing with anxiety/panic attacks. i am not a medical professional. i am a high school student who has been dealing with anxiety and depression for a long time and i have developed some methods of coping that work for me. this is just what helps me, and i hope that something from this list can help you in some way.
1. talk to a therapist
this one isnât possible for everyone, especially if youâre having an attack at a time where you arenât with your therapist. i get that. however, if you are showing symptoms of a panic disorder, i would highly encourage you to talk to a professional about it. they can help so much better than a random stranger on the internet. a lot of schools have counselors, and i would recommend talking to them. they can help a lot.
2. call a friend
this also isnât always possible. itâs always an option, and a good one to have. make sure that friend knows that you might call them, though, or shoot them a text. iâve found that calling a friend can sometimes be the only way for me to recover from a panic attack. sometimes i need to be talked through it, and thatâs okay. iâm very grateful for my friends who help me out when iâm not okay.
3. focus on your breathing
this one sounds a lot more simple than it is, i know. itâs really hard to focus on your breathing when youâre panicking, but try your best. sometimes i need to turn on a metronome (can you tell iâm a band kid? haha) and breathe while i count. iâll usually start at a higher tempo, and take it down as i begin to control my breathing. i count in for four, hold for two, then release for another four. if iâm panicking too much to hold my breath, iâll simply hold for four counts then release for another four counts. if iâm on the phone with a friend, sometimes iâll ask them to count for me or breathe with me. this is probably what helps me the most.
4. ground yourself
focus on your senses. i like to find three things i can feel (ex. someoneâs hand on mine, my clothing, my phone, etc.), three things i can smell (ex. a candle, the grass, food cooking, etc.), three things i can hear (ex. my cats playing, people talking, instruments playing, etc.), three things i can see (ex. my hands, the sky, the grass, etc.), and three emotions/feelings (usually nausea, fear, my chest tightening, etc.). this helps bring me back to reality.
5. use apps on your phone
there are a lot of good meditation apps or apps that generally help you get over panic attacks. one that i like to use is called âcalmâ. if you donât want to use an app, there are also videos on youtube that do the same thing. i recommend them mostly for when you feel like youâre going to have a panic attack, but arenât having one yet.
6. think of something that makes you happy
for me, this is often my cats or my friends. itâs also marching, my plans for the future, and my relationships with the people around me. itâs the things that make life worth living.
i really hope that this post was able to help in any way. i highly encourage you to talk to a professional to help develop strategies that help with your anxiety/panic attacks. thanks for reading!
one of my lecturers printed us a step-by-step guide to writing an essay for an assignment we had. i decided to type it up and share it with you guys. i think for the most part it is really useful and a super simple way to break down your essay. hope this helps :~)
I learned a lot about essay writing in high school and now I barely use it in college, so I thought I would share some of the tips I learned with yâall
just as a disclaimer, these are the basics that I learned in high school. always make sure to talk with your teacher / professor if they have specific guidelines or requirements for an essay (especially if itâs an academic / scientific paper). also, please donât forget to cite your sources !!
happy writing !!
Itâs weird to be high functioning and mentally ill. People donât understand when youâre sad, when youâre suicidal. They donât understand when you actually do attempt suicide. They donât see what could possibly be so wrong that you donât want to be alive anymore.

My French teacher gave us these tips for studying a new language, so I typed them up for you guys! You can check out the original doc he gave us here
there is no woke or acceptable way to put conditions on which abortions are allowed! individual choices about your fucking body are not the same as eugenics! abortion on demand without apology!
Taking textbook notes is a chore. Itâs tedious and boring and sometimes challenging, but hopefully these tips will help you improve your skill and shorten the time it takes you to do textbook notes!
Give yourself time: Realistically, you canât knock out 30 pages of notes in 20 minutes. Take your time with textbook notes so theyâre a good studying tool in the future. The general rule is to take how many pages you have to do and multiply it by 5: thatâs how many minutes itâll take you to do the notes.
Also, divide you notes up into manageable chunks to increase your productivity. I am personally a huge fan of using pomodoro timers, and I adjust the intervals for however long I need to.
Skim before you start taking notes: If time is an issue, donât read your 40 page in depth before even picking up a pen, but make sure you know what youâre reading about by skimming a bit ahead of your notes. Read over section titles, and look at charts, maps, or graphs. Writing and highlighting as you read the chapter for the first time isnât effective because you donât know if a sentence will be important or not, so make sure youâre reading a paragraph or section in advance before writing.
Use the format they give you in the book to help take your notes: In a lot of textbooks, there will be a mini outline before the chapter itself that shows all the headings and subheadings. Those will be your guidelines! I find this super helpful because long chapters can be daunting to go into without any structure. If you donât have one of those, use the headings and subheadings provided for you. If you havenât already been doing this, it will help you so much.
Read actively: Itâs so easy to âreadâ a textbook without digesting any information, but that is the last thing you want to do. Not only does it make taking notes a million times harder, but youâll be lost in class discussions because you didnât understand the reading. To keep from passively reading, highlight, underline, star any important information in the book itself.
Have a color coding system for highlighting or underlining and write down a key somewhere (hereâs a few that you can adjust for your needs: x,x)
Use sticky notes or tabs to mark any questions or important points to come back to
Summarize important information and paraphrase: When taking the actual notes, donât copy down full sentences word for word. Not only does writing full sentences waste a lot of time, itâs not an effective way to learn. If you can paraphrase the information, then you understand it. Itâs also easier to study notes which are in your own words instead of textbook academia writing.
Be selective: You shouldnât be writing down every fact that comes up in your textbook. If a fact ties into the bigger topic and provides evidence, then itâs probably something to keep, but you donât need every piece of supplemental information (but do make sure you always write down the vocab). Learn your teacherâs testing style to help you decide what to write down. Could this be on the quiz/test? If the answer is yes, make sure you write it down.
Learn to abbreviate: Just like writing full sentences, writing out full words will waste time. Implement some shortenings (make sure to use ones that youâll understand later!) into your notes. Some common ones are: b/c=because, gov=government, w/o=without, and hereâs a great list of a ton of examples of abbreviations and shortenings.
Answer margin and review questions: A lot of textbooks have margin questions on every page or so that sum up whatâs really important about that information. Make sure not to skip them because theyâre really helpful for understanding. Write them down and answer them clearly in your notes. Most textbooks also have review questions after the chapter that check for reading comprehension, so make sure to answer those because theyâll show you if you really understood the chapter.
Donât skip over visual sources: Maps, diagrams, illustrations, charts, and any other visuals in textbooks are so helpful. If youâre a visual learner, these things will be so essential to you and how you understand what youâre reading. Charts, tables, and diagrams sometimes also summarize information, so if youâre a visual learner it might benefit you to copy those down instead of writing it out.
Add visuals if itâll help you: As said above, copying down charts, tables, illustrations, or diagrams can be super helpful for visual learners. Theyâre clear and concise, so pay attention to them.
Write your notes in a way thatâs effective and makes sense to you: Mindmaps, Cornell notes, or plain outline notes are all really good forms of notetaking. Find which one works best for you to understand them and which one is most effective for your class, and use it (stuff on mindmaps and cornell notes).
Combine your class and textbook notes: If you rewrite your class notes, add in information you think is relevant from your textbook notes. Mark anything both your book and teacher said were importantâyou donât want to forget any of that. If you donât rewrite class notes, then put stars next to anything repeated.
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now iâm thinkingâŠ.maybe this is the good luck post
âŠ..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
BecauseâŠ
self-confidence, iâm realizing, is a lot deeper than just thinking iâm beautiful and being free in who i am. it also includes being confident in my decisions and trusting myself to be committed to the things i want to do. to step outside of my comfort zone and assure myself that i will be okay in doing so. this kind of self-confidence will help me see the success i want to see.
idk what introvert needs to hear this but please check yourself when ur saying stuf like âstaying in your room all weekend by yourself watching netflix is much better than going out and being socialâ because speaking from experience itâs very easy to confuse being introverted and isolating yourself to cope with anxiety and depression please reach out to your friends and make an effort to live your life and say yes to things, thereâs no harm in enjoying your own company but please try to avoid shutting yourself away because youâve convinced yourself that youâre better alone itâs seriously a recipe for loneliness and will really fuck with your self worth
why do i keep seeing âjokesâ like âlol if youâre âtouch starvedâ youâre just horny lmaoâ
like
itâs not a sexual thing and is actually pretty important since humans are social creatures
âHuman touch has been proven to be vital to emotional, psychological, and physical growth in infants and to some extent in older children and adults.â
âSkin hunger is your bodyâs reaction to lack of physical touch and it affects an increasing number of Americans while being a non existent phenomenon in more touch-happy countries like France. The problem that weâre learning is that without skin-to-skin touch (might we add that it doesnât have to be sexual), your body doesnât produce the hormone oxytocin. Without that natural chemical, adults are more susceptible to depression and infants can have developmental problems or even die.â
âHugs have also been shown to increase the production of oxytocin in humans; this is the hormone that positively influences our bonding and nurturing behaviors.â
hello???????????
One of my clinical instructors told me that most people need seventeen touches a day to feel nurtured.
Does it have to be human touch or is this why I subject my poor dog to being picked up and cuddled at random throughout the day? Because Its been 84 years since I physically touched another living human with my skin
Pets count!
humans are social creatures who bond well with other social creatures so ya pets count
Touch starved people often benefit from massage therapy, manicures, getting their hair done, social dance, and team sports. It doesnât have to be intense and intimate!
Hello everyone, long time no see! I just got back from a trip to visit a family friend, who also happens to be a super-smart lawyer. We talked non-stop for an hour about how she studied during law school! So naturally here I am to regurgitate the information to my lovely tumblr friends:
Take your class notes. Re-read them, and then start to revise and rewrite them. If you had 100 pages of notes before, your second set of notes should be 50 pages. You are essentially taking notes from your notes.
Do this again, cutting the notes in half. I know this seems repetitive, but youâre retaining information by rewriting and summarizing it. The more you do it, the better youâll do later.Â
Continue to rewrite and summarize your notes until you have a one page outline. This outline is your life-saver on tests. (Itâd also be handy to keep all of the outlines you accumulate for your final)
Memorize the outline! When you sit down to take a test, the first thing you should do is flip to a blank page and copy down your outline from memory. Because you rewrote it over and over, you should be able to fill in the gaps in the outline, which will help immensely on the test.
Thatâs the gist of it! If you have any questions/comments feel free to message or send an ask. (Personally I love this method and Iâm definitely using it next school year!)Â
