10/05/15 // Sunday afternoon. I just had a really good M2 session with my maths tutor and just as he’s leaving he gives me this wonderful card and ‘emergency rations’! :) 

Inside it reads (in super messy scrawl) : Very best of luck in all your exams. It’s been fun working with you!

This song was tots my childhood....

SOMEBODY TOLD ME THAT YOU HAD A BOYFRIEND

Study like Spencer Hastings:

Research: Read books, read journals, search online articles and publications, etc, perform field studies, question everything.

Study with friends: Quiz your friends, tutor courses you’re good at, work in groups and help each other with assignments.

Stay organized: File your papers, color-code, organized chaos always.

Friendly competition: Motivate yourself, join competitions, try not to fight with your sister, remember to encourage and respect your peers.

Get involved: Sports, debate, language, school productions, writing etc. Participate in anything that showcases your skills and talent.

Ask for help: Talk to your teachers/profs, get to know your school services, and you can always make an appointment with a local psychologist (before things spiral out of hand..)

Don’t speed. Just don’t do it

Stay interested and explore your options: Attend campus tours or events, volunteer, stay connected to peers from different areas, network, apply to more than one option (be it schools, scholarships etc.)  

Caffeinate, but remember to hydrate. Coffee, coffee, redbull, coffee, tea, coffee, sometimes water. 

Sleep: what is sleep?

[learnwisely-deactivated20151020]

Agree with everything but the “what is sleep?” and the “sometimes water” one. Those are counterproductive.

Peppermint tea and my planner. Good night everyone. :)
