i had a very early morning start today and it felt so amazing! i got lots of work done, watched the sun rise, read a little, and worked some more! i hope this lifestyle keeps up before i go back to uni. it’d be so beneficial for me (and not to mention healthy and productive✨) . do you guys have any plans today? it’s night where i am, but tomorrow i plan on running some errands, treating myself to a morning cup of hot cocoa, and reading🥰🧡 (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8tembiHfCl/?igshid=1h7z3xma653yq

what to do when everything’s a mess

Wash your hair. Don’t worry about all those articles online about the best haircare products of 2019 and whatnot, get in, wash it like you usually do, get out. Leave it to air dry, it’s less work for you.

Brush your teeth. Even if you brushed them this morning and are probably going to brush it tonight, do it anyway. Especially if it’s exam time, all that tea or coffee you’re most likely downing (props to you if you only study with water) probably makes them feel kind of gross.

I know most of these lists tell you to run a bath, but let’s face it, for those of you who even have a bath in the first place, the thought of filling that tub and sitting there in complete silence for a couple hours seems like a trek. And ironically exhausting. So instead, just brush your hair, take a nap (set a nice soothing alarm) and once you’ve gotten out of bed, wash your face or at least splash cold water on your face.

CLEAN clean clean clean CLEAN. Easier said than done, but at least start by clearing one messy component of your area; it could be your floor, your desk or your bed. You don’t need to clean and re-organise your entire room marie condo-style for you to actually have a reason to take the time to clean in the first place. A little goes a long way, and you don’t ALWAYS need to do the hard yards ya know.

I would say read a book, but sometimes your brain is melting or buzzing so it can’t really focus on anything lengthy. So instead, find someone reciting a poem online, and just listen to it. I recommend Jeremy Irons and his voicing of tons of T.S Eliot poetry, or Allen Ginsberg reciting his own poetry (Howl is a classic).

If you’re one of those people who drowns their sorrows by listening to music, don’t listen to music!! Don’t reinforce your pain!! So to that I say, listen to a podcast. If the classic podcast genre of true crime is a little too stressful and you’ve already cried twice today, listen to interviews with actors, screenwriters and directors. It can be really refreshing to listen to people you already enjoy the content of talk about their work. I recommend Awards Chatter and Happy Sad Confused.

Stop staring at screens! Just physically sit outside for a bit, you don’t need to go for a jog or do a general workout, just…sit. People-watch, try and memorise the exact scene in front of you, from the mis-en-scene to all the colours and sounds and the way the sunlight feels on your eyelashes. Write it down if you want to, you could even denote a single notebook to your little outdoor descriptions. Or just write on a napkin. To each their own.

Have you eaten today? And I mean something hearty, something that isn’t primarily made out of air and salt. Something that falls under the umbrella of snack does not count; meal is more like it. If not, eat. Preparing food might feel exhausting, but so’s going a relatively long amount of time without something nutritionally substantial.

If you’re feeling emotionally heavily, get out a notebook or even just a scrap of paper, a pen and cry until your eyes are as blurry as can be. With tears down your cheeks, scribble out how you’re feeling. Don’t bother with how neat or messy it is, whether the sentences even stay on the lines, it’s not about being aesthetic. In fact, it’s about being as messy as possible. Let all of it out, and let is act as a physical manifestation of what’s going on in your head. Don’t fight it or deny it, relieve yourself by both constructing and understanding yourself.

I’m so excited to be done with APUSH; it’s not because it’s a terrible class or I don’t like the subject, but because I actually want to start having fun in the class now!

Studying for the med school entrance exam:

day 1/80

So, I’ve actually been studying for this exam since the beginning of the year, but only now have I thought about actually posting some stuff on my studyblr…. makes sense, right?

Finally putting this blog to good use, after only reblogging posts for months lol

Basically, the situation is: I studied maths for one semester, I quit because i seriously hated it, and I decided to take on the med school entrance exam for a second time after majorly failing it last year

The exam takes place on the 5th of July, meaning I still have 80 full days to study for it. 

If all goes according to plan, than I should study every single day until then. So, I should also post some pics every single day. If I miss one day, you are allowed to virtually slap me, because that would mean I wasn’t productive.

Let’s see how this goes…..wish me luck!!
