Study & Spice

A year thirteen student (who has absolutely no motivation to do anything) tackles studying!

[studyandspices]

Well this is awkward...

I’m back after about a year! I have been trashed by A levels but I am almost done! 

Some things have happened that have affected me recently. Stress is so harmful and sometimes we fail to realise this. In the past stress has caused me to lose feeling in my body as well as losing hair. More recently it has manifested itself in migraines and panic attacks. 

I cope by planning things for the future. Once I’m done with these exams I’m going to prom, Paris and music festivals along with some road trips. I also take time to work out the main stressors and how I can rationalise my fears. Try and work out what calms you down. Deep breathing? Music? Watching cartoons? Nothing is ‘silly’ if it helps.

I just wanted to write this so that people realise the effect that stress has and that it is ok to take some time for yourself so you can relax.

Okay I had an idea

I know there are sites where you can sell your notes or whatever (which I’m going to look into tbh the way I see it it’s better than stripping and I gotta get myself thru college) BUT someone was helpful by sending me some sources they used for previous papers.

So, what if I made a drive folder or something where people could submit their works cited/reference pages from previous papers with a blurb about the topic of the essay, for students such as myself trying to find good sources?
