To students taking exams right now:

You are smarter than you know

It is almost over, just keep holding on

You are not your grades, and your grades don’t define your intelligence

Trust and believe in yourself

Stop comparing yourself to others

Remember to drink water (not just coffee)

Early mornings vs late nights

Exam season is upon us. Well, definitely upon me. If you are plagued by the creeping fear that there is just too much to know, too much to catch up with, too much to remember - know you're not alone.

It's easy to feel like you are the only one who doesn't have picture perfect notes, who doesn't have time to create the perfect cozy flat lay or go to cute cafés to reward themselves. You know better - you know we all spend our times working late or getting up extra early, that nobody is perfectly organised and has to cram a concept last minute, that everyone has a weak moment in which they feel like they won't make it. Can't make it. We're all human and especially now we have to remember that the "it's all so easy as long as you bullet journal" facade is just that. A facade.

You can do it. Do it your way. The pictures don't matter, your studies do.

What I’ve learned about being vegan in college

It’s hard. I don’t want to discourage anyone but it’s the truth. I am the only vegan I know in my college and going out to eat becomes a challenge in itself. My classmates like going to places like Starbucks, McDonald’s, cafés and other fast food stores. Which I understand it’s cheap, fast and it tastes good. The problem is that more often than not, I end up eating fries or the most depressing salad I’ve ever seen. Which sincerely, I better just pass. So I stopped going.

Always be prepared. It took me some time (years) to actually get this one going. Meal prep might sound very time-consuming but it actually isn’t!!! I encourage all of you to start meal prepping because it’ll save you money and you know what you’re putting in your body. I’ve learned that it’s also a very good way to talk with others about veganism. People often look at my lunch box and are surprised at what I have there. Most people think vegans only eat sad salads. So when they see amazing vegan pastas, soups, buddha bowls, rice, tofu, vurgers, sandwiches, they all get very surprised at the aromas, how much I eat and the aesthetics of it. They often realise they just eat the same thing over and over again and are curious about trying vegan food.

It helps me focus in my studies. Now, I haven’t seen many studyblrs talking about how your eating habits can impact your performance at school. And I want to take a moment for us all to realise how important eating well is for us! In my case after I started cooking my food and being more mindful about what I put in my body I started to see some changes. Not only did I feel lighter, I also felt energized. I stopped feeling so tired and I the amount of naps I took throughout the day decreased dramatically. Thus giving me more time and energy to focus on my studies. My grades also went up, although that is likely due to several changes I was making at the same time but I believe eating healthy was a strong contributor to my performance.

I also felt like going to class because I felt confident in myself. I am bound to sweat and my body odor prior turning vegan was enough to make a rat run away. But it all disappeared after and now I can go out without deodorant (don’t do that tho. Always wear deodorant!!!). My face is became clearer and I maintain my bodyweight. And all these small physical changes have given me more confidence to talk to my professors, to my classmates. I know it might sound superficial but it’s very nice talking to someone without them making a strange face by the way you smell. Idk what kinda magic there was behind it but it disappeared. I’m not complaining.
