Hi Jasmine! i'm a new student in New Zealand, do you happen to know where can I buy stationeries with wide range of selection to choose? anddd do you have to buy all the exact same stuff as the one on the subject stationeries list? (i'm sorry if it's kinda confusing lol i can't even figure out my words). Thanks xx

Hey! Happy to help! Warehouse stationary is great for basics, but seeing as its the new school year plenty of book stores (Whitcoulls, Paper Plus) are all having big stationary sales (and have cute supplies!)

I’m not sure about your school but mine it’s mostly down to the teachers - they don’t mind what you use so long as you do the work and I’d assume most teachers would feel the same. I use a single binder for all my subjects and have for two years and the teachers have only said what a good idea it is! I’d say it probably doesn’t matter, so long as you have some paper and pens to write with and do the work!

Send me a message if you have any more questions, I’m always keen to hear from my fellow kiwi students Xx

hi, just letting you know, most of my classmates struggle on the switch from grade 9 (jhs) to grade 10 (hs). i guess it's a normal thing¿ like what you have learnt in jhs felt sooooo easy when you face new materials in hs. just, let it flow and -cont

-cont- do your best. by the time i passed gr.10 (i’m in gr 11 rn) it’ll be okay. i guess you kinda have to get used to it and since you moved school and yada yada. GOODLUCK! 💙 you’ll get through it :)

ahhh thank you so much!! yea i’m getting used to it (ish) right now i guess ?? 💕💕

(this is my first ‘tips’ original *yay*)

throughout years being a true procrastinator myself, i’ve learned a few things about it. and recently, i’ve been able to (sometimes) “control” this bad habit.

procrastinating is a bad habit. and keeping it that way wouldn’t make it better in the present nor in the future.

being a procrastinator is not something to we should be proud of. there’s no part of being a procrastinator that brings good to us, in fact there’s nothing good about being a procrastinator.

the feeling of procrastination itself comes from inside, our brain tricked ourself which makes us not in the mood of doing tasks / makes us post-pone things.

postponing tasks shouldn’t be accustomed or else, it’d be a reaalllyyy bad (i mean like a really bad bad ) habit.

procrastination can be prevented or stopped. and all it takes is the willingness from ourself.

here are some tips on overcoming/preventing procrastination:

ask yourself why do you have to finish that task. is it for a deadline? for extra grades? knowing your goal on finishing a particular task tends to boost up your spirit on finishing it.

make yourself a ‘deadline’. a report is due in a week? set yourself a due date in the middle of the week. this way, you can 1) prevent not handing in the task late (because you procrastinate THAT much) 2) having deadlines jumbled up together 3) make it as a motivation to finish it.

force yourself to do it. even if you don’t want to. here’s the thing about tasks. whether you like it or not, you want to do it or not, it’s an obligation. at the end of the day, you have to do it anyway, so do it. now.

break your tasks. i feel like sometimes we’re just so fed up just by looking at how much we have to finish. because of that, you’d have to break it. a biology exam next month? start tomorrow by collecting materials, continue the next session by highlighting what you need to learn, taking notes the next, you named it. by making the tasks seem less, it’ll visualize our brain in thinking that we could do this.

practice. there’s no way you could just stop procrastinating abruptly on day. just like meditation, it all takes progress. starting from a small change can make a huge difference. it could take months, years possibly. remember that just because you’re a procrastinator you can’t finish tasks, get good grades, or have an organized life. surely you’d get through it right now, but it will grow to be a bad, unhealthy habit in the future. it’s better to prevent it before it occurs than treating it after it occurs.

this is an encouragement to those out there who has been trying to get over procrastinating, you can do it!
