ADULT ADVICE

1. Make sure you are fundamentally unfulfilled. The economy needs your sadness to keep it afloat!

2. Buy a bigger house! You will need a large gallery to showcase your expensive attempts at filling your inner void!

3. Change your face! Everybody hates it. Also never get old. Several men in lab coats have proven that human cells *actually* devalue with age (they devalue even faster for women!). Make sure you coat your body in expensive chemicals no less than 2 times per day.

4. Buy a vacation! Run away and escape all reminders that your life is slowly wasting away! Make sure it is someplace where there is much poverty, it is also important that you learn to appreciate how large and shiny your cage is.

5. BE HUMBLE! Make sure you never express self confidence in anything you do, you have not bought enough things to deserve happiness. Express shame with yourself as to not threaten others into facing their own deep self loathing!

5 THINGS YOU CAN DO EVERY DAY TO BE HAPPY

1 - Brisk 20-minute walk. Studies show three 20-30 minute walks a week outperform, from a happiness perspective, test groups on anti-depressants and test groups doing both the walking and taking the anti-depressants. (Penn State / Babyak, American Psychosomatic Society)

2 - The 20-Minute Replay. Journal for 20 minutes about a positive experience you had during the day. Your mind will relive the experience as you write and relive it again when you read your journal. A tripling effect. (University of Texas, “How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count The Words”)

3 - Commit A Random Act of Kindness. Surprise someone a coffee, hold the door open for your coworkers, send a thank you note to an old teacher. (Lyubomirsky)

4 - Meditate. Studies show meditation increases the activity in our pre-frontal cortext – the part of the brain responsible for attention and focus. (Massachusetts General Hospital)

5 - Write down 5 gratitudes. If you can be happy with simple things, it will be simple to be happy. The research here had students write down five gratitudes, events, or hassles. Those writing down gratitudes vastly outperformed the other two groups after ten weeks. (Emmons / McCullough)

The Hogwarts House as Students (Based on People I Know)

Gryffindor

listens to anime osts while studying

highlights everything, gOD

acts like a roman orator during class reports

“pisses off” the teacher with their jokes but is secretly probably the teacher’s fave student

mnemonics

either studies ahead of time or DOESN’T SLEEP FOR 48 HOURS BECAUSE THEY PROCRASTINATED (there is no in between)

 flashcards galore

gets elected as class president because their friends thought it would be funny (but is actually pretty good at the job??)

determination to succeed even when they’re already too done with everything

Ravenclaw

has 100 highlighters and a system for how to use them

“do you think i’ll still have to take the exam if i die from caffeine overdose?”

really creative bullet journals (or minimalist layouts)

“how do you have such perfect handwriting?” “oh, it’s always been that way.” *actually spent 1000 hours perfecting it*

scrolls through the studyblr tag and calls it studying

posts something on studyblr and calls it studying

procrastinates a lot tbh. 

classical music

gets anxious about not studying. still not studying because they’re too anxious to start. (relatable?)

always getting irrational thoughts about their “failing” grades

Hufflepuff

lots of colorful pens

a e s t h e t i c  study spaces

extra af when it comes to projects (they’ll probably wear a mammoth costume during their report about the ice age. y’know, for authenticity)

working really hard for a subject they are not good at. feeling very satisfied when they get a high grade on that subject.

probably expects the worst so they don’t get disappointed

helping others study

sharing their notes

comforts other students who are having nervous breakdowns but they probably need comforting as well

all-nighters. 

Slytherin

motivational quotes

studying extra hard for a subject someone told them they’re not good at, purely for the satisfaction of proving them wrong

they’re e x t r a af, in general

getting really high grades, but only seeing that one grade that was lower than they expected

either really organized or really messy (but, like, in an organized way)

mind maps and flowcharts

look calm as fuck when it comes to tests but it’s probably because they’re disassociating lmao

working hard not just because they like it, but because they simply don’t like the thought of failing

really supportive of their friends but at the same time bitter when they get higher marks at something (but only because they see it as a sign of personal failure)

has high standards for them themselves. at the same time, they feel like everyone expects too much of them.

Discipline- key aspect to unlocking your hidden potential

This is a word I’ve come across a LOT on tumblr recently.

My school taught me discipline as a state of being quiet and well behaved, so of course I hated that word. And after seeing so much of the word, I became curious as to what it really means.

Discipline: the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behaviour, using punishment to correct disobedience.

Training, how to train yourself to optimize your productivity and success levels.

What constitutes discipline:

1. To have self control. Don’t binge on a show late night when you know you have an early class the next morning. That’s discipline.

2. Responsibility. If you sleep at a reasonable hour after watching 2 episodes because of the early class and how being sleep deprived causes you headaches and moods. That’s discipline.

3. Self discipline. Getting up an hour early everyday, to go to gym/running/early studying etc and making it a habit, no matter how much you hate waking up early. That’s discipline.

Benefits of discipline in your life:

1. Satisfaction.

2. Increase in self esteem and increase in people respecting you.

3.YOU WILL ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL.

To the folks who sneer at the impossibility of establishing discipline in there lives. Look at your failures. Look at them again and again.

Do you find a solution to your lacking from the Above?
