some reminders for a revision heavy weekend!!!

drink your water!!! fizzy water, still water, cold water - the water in your coffee doesn't count and as nice as tea is it isn't as hydrating as regular water!!! so grab yourself a big glass or bottle and drink up!!

talk to somebody!! about something other than work!! call your siblings! ask a friend to send photos of their pet! ask someone on the same course if they'd want to meet up to do something fun after the exam!

do nothing. literally. like take five minutes - no music, no videos, no reading. let your brain rest. think about whatever you want, stare at the ceiling - just give yourself a break. bonus points if you go for a walk.

get some exercise. go on a run, try a new pilates video, dance like a complete idiot - as long as you're at least a little out of breath at the end it doesn't matter, and then get yourself some water and a snack.

plus some stretches and breathing exercises to try!

stretches for your back

place your palms flat on any surface at roughly hip height. walk your feet back until your torso's aligned with the table and your legs are perpendicular, and then pull backwards from your hips.

lie on your back, pull your knees to your chest, wrap your arms around them - as is comfortable, and rock.

child's pose! kneel, and then walk your hands forward until you feel a nice stretching your back and arms.

breathing

breath in and out through your nose - i don't remember the specifics for this one but it's what i've always been told, and it's supposed to be calming or clarifying or better for you i think?? i always feel better when i do

when you breath inhales should make your stomach inflate and exhales should deflate it/return it to resting - lots of people accidentally do the opposite, or have this happen in their ribcage area instead. lie flat on your back both hands on your stomach and practice correcting your breathing if you need to.

mini recap!

what i've been doing lately: exams, languages, youtube recs :)

hi!! sorry for the absence!! i had my language speaking a level at the beginning of the month and just did exam 1/2 for my AS, and my first real A level (and public exam, like, ever) is tomorrow! sending lots of love, luck, and peace to everyone else going through exam season or has just finished and is waiting for results!! you got this!! ❤️‍🩹

i've also been working on learning some languages, which is a phase i go through every now and then, but i'm trying to get it to stick! i picked up spanish, italian, and norwegian - which i always try to learn - and added korean and german, and i'm going to try and get back into latin!! i forgot how much i love studying languages because doing french in school is so different now!! lmk if you're studying any languages bc i'm always interested!!

so far i've been doing duolingo mostly, and i've started to try and make notes as well as find open source text books - which have been especially helpful for korean!

i've been using youtube a lot for study motivation or background noise and these are some of my favourites:

monterey bay aquarium!!

good if you always feel the need to have something going on that interests you but not tooooo much!! the sea otters are very sweet and they also have penguins and jellyfish!

this one is super hit or miss, i can't have them on while i'm on my adhd medication because it can be super distracting, but i find the background noise really helpful if i'm trying to work without my meds! it kind of reminds me of doing homework at break while your friends mess around only you
