ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HAVING A GOOD DAY:
wait until it gets dark and make tea or coffee or hot chocolate, or if it’s too hot outside make yourself a healthy smoothie with your favorite things in it at any point during the day
put on your favorite underwear, it helps, trust me, it’s an old family secret (i’m not kidding)
if you have a pet, play the “how many things can i stick on you until you move or get mad” game (bonus points if they fall asleep, extra bonus points if a family member sees you and tells you to quit it, extra double ultra points if they join in)
rip a peice of paper into as many little pieces as you can
go to animeseason.com and click “random anime” until you see one that looks completely ridiculous (or actually good) and watch the first episode. repeat if it sucked or if you get bored halfway through
spend at least an hour making a music playlist for how you feel right now and save it for now or when you feel a bad mood rise again
curl up in bed and cover yourself with blankets and pillows and put in music and just lay there for a while (sleeping is also good)
eat everything
drink lots of water
it’s okay bad moods don’t last forever!!!!!! i promise!!! you will be yourself soon and there are people who love you very much, don’t be afraid to reach out to them
you are lovely
eat lots of bananas
here are some more friends
i bet there is still a box of crayons in your house somewhere (if not you can get them cheap during back-to-school sales); find them and use them (maybe while watching ridiculous anime)
sunshine if you can manage it or just a sun lamp trust me it matters more than you think especially in winter
hugs even if they are stuffed animals or your pet or your pillow whatever is on hand
if you’ve got a favorite lotion/soap/thing that is scented use it liberally
cry if you need, if it doesn’t start by itself or if you don’t want to attract attention put on a sad movie so you have an excuse
write this down to pull out on future bad days:
it is okay to have a day where you don’t get things done
it is okay not to have a reason for feeling bad
taking care of yourself is a worthwhile use of time
if you still don’t feel better it is not your fault (and it is okay to ask for help)

How to be good at interviews:
I’m having next Wednesday my first professional interview (eeeeek) so I decided to share the research I’m doing. I googled all of this and chose the information I found most important, and organized it. I truly hope it’s helpful for someone out there :)
PLAN AND PRACTICE:
always do your homework: learn about the organization, its ideas and story
don’t necessarily memorize responses, but try to have a planned general strategy for answering common interview questions
practice in front of the mirror
be ready to briefly describe related experience
compare your qualifications to what the organization wants from you
COMMON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
“What’s your biggest weakness?” Think of a genuine issue you have as well as ways you have managed to work with/around it.
“What’s your biggest strengths?” Stand out from the crowd and don’t be afraid to speak about your strengths in an authentic and compelling way. See if your strengths align with the company’s needs.
“ Why do you want this job?”/ “Why should we hire you?” Stay focused on why your background makes you an ideal candidate and tell them how you are going to contribute to that department and that company.
“Tell me about yourself.” Don’t tell them your life story, instead discuss what your interests are relating to the job and why your background makes you a great candidate.
“Why did you leave your last job/position/school?” Do not go into details about your dissatisfaction, tell them that while you valued the experience and education you received, you felt that the time had come to seek outo a new opportunity, expand your skills and knowledge, and to find a company with wich you could grow. Try to put a positive spin on things. Be honest if you were fired but don’t trash your previous boss.
“Where do you see yourself in five years?” Be honest about what your greater aspirations are.
And much much much more (from your behaviour to work experiences, education, interests and motivation or problems and challeges you’ve faced previously), I would encourage you to try to write down some topics for each questions that work for you. Being prepared is everything.
THE DAY OF THE INTERVIEW:
sleep and eat well so you look rested and healthy on the big day
give yourself time to calm down/meditate/relax
don’t noodle around on your phone or electronic device while waiting - it may communicate boredom and frivolousness, maybe stick your notebook/notes
What to wear: normally it’s best to dress neutral, professionally/formal, not overly fashionable or trendy, and brightly colored clothing is bad. Make sure your clothes are neat and wrinkle free, and make sure your image is very clean and neat.
What to bring: if revelant, extra copies of your resume on quality paper, a notepad or professional binder and pen, information you might need to complete an application.
IMPORTANT TIPS:
make eye contact
show courtesy to everyone during the interview, this means everyone from the reception staff to the interviewer herself
smile
have good posture
avoid fidgeting too much or playing with your hair/touching face
have a good handshake
don’t cross your arms over your chest
walk, act, talk with confidence
be comfortable and relaxed
choose the words you say
don’t place stuff on their desk
manage your reactions - facial and body expressions give clues on how you feel: project a positive image
show interest and enthusiasm
show warmth and personality - being personable is about getting the interviewer’s emotional side to like you and believe in you
don’t lie to make it seem like you know something you don’t. You probably won’t fool your interviewer, and admitting to not know something is much more impressive than lying
be honest
keep things simple and short, talk in 30-90 second chunks. Any less and you’re likely to seem unqualified; any more and your interviewer is likely to lose interest in what you’re saying
THINK OF QUESTIONS TO ASK: participating actively during the interview gives a good impression of your level of interest in the job. Most of times it is more adequeate to ask in the end of the interview. But I feel like you really need to make sure your questions are adequate. Examples:
“What types of training opportunities do you offer?”
“What are the chances for professional growth in this job opportunity?”
“Is there anything else I can provide you with that would be helpful?”
ALWAYS ask the “ When can I expect to hear back from you about the position?” question if the interviewer does not tell you.
Good questions are open-ended, and thus cannot be answered with a “yes” or “no.” Better questions are behavioral: they ask how things are done or have happened in the past, because current and past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior.
AFTER THE INTERVIEW:
shake hands with the interviewer - try to invest some feeling into the handshake and pleasantries, even if you think you bombed the interview
hold your head high and keep your cool
your emotions are probably teetering at the highest of highs or the lowest of lows, but try to stay measured
project a cool confidence, not cockiness, and walk out of the interview with your head held high
SOMETHING TO ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND:
when you know in your heart and your gut that you bring to the table something just as valuable as a paycheck and maybe much more – your tremendous experience, intellect and instinct – you’ll carry yourself differently. You won’t trip over your words in an effort to please His Majesty or Her Highness, because you’ll see yourself and the interviewer as equals on a level playing field.
you are valuable and unique. You have something very special in you and you deserve to be given a chance. good luck!

four big studying myths and how to really succeed at studying
hey everyone! optomstudies here with a unique post about studying myths that I’ve discovered!
Myth: people are intrinsically visual, auditory, or kinaesthetic learners!
Fact: There is no scientific evidence to show that you are stuck learning only one way! It’s true that visual information comprises 90% of all the information we take in but it doesn’t mean that you are trapped studying only in one style.
My special tip: Engage in multi-modal learning, read your notes aloud when revising, but only the most important bits. One study showed that those who read half a list aloud remembered 15% more words, but reading the whole list aloud didn’t make much of a difference. I find that reading formulas aloud both in their symbolic forms and also in terms of their meanings e.g. F=ma and force = mass times acceleration.
Myth: It is better to have one set study space to study in.
Fact: Studies have actually shown that it is more productive to vary your study space and improve retention (reviewing vocabulary in two locations improved retention by 20% compared to one), however keep in mind that studies have also shown that productivity does improve when your desks are able to be personalised!
My special tip: Have 2-3 go-to study spaces and cycle through them. They don’t all have to have your favourite desk calendar, but there should be one aspect that is personalised! I’ve found that personalising your Google account and syncing your Chrome theme at your faculty computer lab + having one preferential computer which is optimally located between air conditioners helps me to feel comfortable studying in a particular place.
Myth: Rewriting notes is useless and doesn’t help you remember.
Fact: Although copying your notes is ineffective and inefficient, reformulating your notes into a different format, in a way that condenses and interlinks information blocks is effective. Writing notes in your own words has been shown to be an effective study method, and is way better than just regurgitating the textbook or a lecturer’s words.
My special tip: Try using mind maps (see my study tips for effective mind maps here) as a way to summarise and to understand the relationships between different topics and components of the topic you are studying. They have been shown to be 10-15% more effective at learning and memory than conventional note-taking and studying techniques. The combination of words and pictures is 6x more effective for memory than words alone (source). It helps you to understand information at a deeper more intuitive level and reflects your mind’s natural thinking patterns.
Myth: “I’m just not a natural at STEM subjects, I’m just naturally better at liberal arts/languages”
Fact: Just because you try something and it feels “hard” and someone else just seems to “get it” or do “better” doesn’t mean anything. No one is a “natural”, no one is “born” being good at calculus or any other high school and university level subject. And honestly that sort of thinking is really disrespectful to people who get good grades in every subject by sheer determination and due diligence.
You are not limited to one set of subjects to be bad at in much the same way that people are not limited to having one type of subject that they are good at. Think about something that you’re good at - maybe you’re a piano player? An artist? A sport? Were you blessed from birth to create masterpieces and win competitions? No, you practiced and tried different techniques and worked at it. Studies are the same way, and don’t ever let anyone make you feel like you’re not good at a subject and are doomed to be bad at it!
Hope that’s been enlightening! ^_^
