I know saying “no” can make you feel like you’re letting people down… but at the end of the day, your happiness is more important :))

Procrastination Tip

If you are an anxious procrastinator, start every assignment the day it is assigned. It doesn’t matter how much of it you do, just begin! Often beginning is the hardest part, once you’ve done a bit of the reading, or started that first paragraph, the rest comes more easily.

Here are some study tips I found for myself after I did a course in neuropsychology last semester. This list is by no means complete but just based on what was covered in our book! I hope these are helpful to you!

No multitasking!

Use flashcards!

Don’t just passively read, work with the information!

Mindmaps to better understand connections between different topics!

Give meaning to the information & relate it to already known information!

When studying new things, repeat very often at start, then gradually increase intervals of repetition!

When having a long study session, try to alternate between different subjects!

Study in a way that is similar to how you have to retrieve the information in the exam!

Test yourself!

Before the exam imagine the place where you studied for it!

Learn in an environment that is similar to the environment at exam!

Sometimes learning in many different environments is also helpful!

a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore 

never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.

find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.

talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore

picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else

if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

That’s some pretty good advice. I don’t know what’s left of my humor after ‘guess I’ll just die’ jokes but it’s worth a shot.

[snackwizard]

Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining

[808lien]

This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.

[maramahan]

Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes

Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”

Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”

When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?

And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking
