The pressures of being a teenager
The other day I was talking to my cousin who is on the cusp of writing the board exams. He is generally a very talented and hard working student, and has performed well in his previous exams. But talking to him gave me anxiety. Partly because it reminded me of the time I myself was a student writing the board exams and partly because of his situation. He was lamenting about his inability to…

Exam Prep
So... I'm new to this city, this school and the CBSE syllabus. I've been killing myself here trying to learn all this stuff.
I had my history, geography, economics and politics yesterday.
I have my computers exam today and I have opened the book for the first time ever, this morning. Hopefully, they won't ask anything I don't already know.
Even if they do, it's on me.
Anyways, I hope you are a lot more sensible than me and don't leave your examination preparation for the last minute.
Good day to you.

okay but can we normalise post-exam anxiety??
the exam is done. the assignment is handed in. but you’re still stressed. you still have anxiety attacks over it. you still cry about it. you stay up late wondering if you did enough every night until you get your marks back. you did all that you could do, and it’s out of your control yet you still worry. cause if it happens to me, I can’t be the only one… right?

This blog is great for letting off the steam from my obsessions, but nothing (and I mean nothing) beats passionately talking about something you’re obsessing over with someone else (who’s at least interested)
Like that human connection makes it really special. Even if I’m literally just typing the exact same thing I would on my blog, if it’s to a person then it just feels different y’know?
Like when exams are done and I have literally every day free to do whatever I want and the actual headspace to be allowed to obsess over things, when I have these marathons I’ve been meaning to do for ages, be it kingdom hearts or doctor who or persona or starkid or fnaf or whatever. I just cannot wait to be able to enjoy something without the lingering thought of it being wasted time and I should be putting in work to my exams.
Eh this kinda had no point lmao
I just like writing what’s on my mind, like verbal diarrhoea.
I absolutely love blogging about things I’m interested in, can’t wait to do it more once I’m free to be interested

14.03.23 day 12
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Didn't post anything the past few days. My social life caught me in a whirlwind and threw my mental peace out in pieces. Extravagant language but I didn't know how else to put it. Those were tumultuous days.
We all have goals, our own ambitions and dreams and sadly enough, sometimes it's our dear valuable relationships that hold us back. I'm not speaking for all relationships. Human connection is one of the most central things in our life that bring us meaning. But people who must be preparing for competitive exams (esp my Indian kinspeople) know how families and friends can sometimes pressurise us with obligations. The emotional stress of relationships during these times can be fuel in fire. It drains us and sometimes breaks our will.
People who have been in the Civil service exam journey know the struggles and the sacrifices. And I'm sure everyone else with demanding careers know too. JEE, NEET, CAT, MCAT and the like.
My heartfelt message to all of you folks, please reach out and do not neglect your mental health. This is a long journey and a sympathetic ear can bring you incredible support. You are not alone and you will get through this!
P. S. Resumed my studying again from today. By the way, all lofi compilations are not built equal. Today's one was perfect.

Day 8• 50 Days of Productivity
10.06.2023
Omo. I slacked. Hard. So I kept postponing getting back on track and just made everything worse. But today was better so here I am againnn. These pictures are from the past week in total so I’ll just do a quick week overview.
I had two labs. One was boring as hell and the other was so fun, if not a bit repetitive. I finally cleaned my apartment but I’m not even done cause I lack motivation rn but I plan to finish that up tomorrow.
I started a new crochet project to feel some sense of accomplishment. I’ve never made a bandana before and it’s way easier than I expected but I’ve abandoned it for now (expected).
This past week really felt like a blur cause I’m having less classes and a lot of public holidays and I just let them pass without even realizing. I feel like I always have these moments every semester where I just kind of dissociate and then I realize so much time has passed and I can’t even remember anything that I did. It’s not as bad this time cause I’ve been journaling…or trying to at least. The weird feeling that I floated through the week is still with me though.
On a lighter note though, I was able to get some work done today. I did some Math and a biomaterials test. I have less than a month till my first exam and I really need to sit up, so I hope I’m able to make solid progress this week.
There’s a party on campus but I want to go to bed rn haha. I hope the music doesn’t keep me up.
Have a lovely week and I hope you’ll be able to accomplish whatever you set out to do🫶🏾

letting it all out || seungjin
Tumblr media
Pairing : seungmin x hyunjin
Genres : angst
Word count : 2.2k { 2217 words}
warnings : insomnia, suffocating parents, self harm (please let me know if i have to add any more)
a/n : this is my first ever fanfic so i'm kinda nervous about this ;-; hope you like it!!
Summary : Seungmin has been studying really hard but can’t seem to focus properly because of all the pressure on him. One day when Seungmin gets locked in at the school late at night and there's just Hyunjin to give him company, they kiss under mistletoe while listening to 24 to 25 Sorry I was just joking! 🤡 They just have an insight on each other's lives and Seungmin finally finds a friend.
Tumblr media
Three more weeks and Seungmin would be free. Well, not forever but at least free from the pressure of his final exams. Seungmin was in his senior year and had just two more weeks for preparation. Coming from an average family that had to depend on a single person’s pay check, and being the only child? It wasn’t pleasant. He bore all the expectations both his parents had on him and also had to carry on his tiny shoulders the pressure from his parents and teachers for him to perform extremely well ever since they had found out that he was pretty good with books and knowledge.
Being the most studious one of the class, Seungmin was always selected as the class president and well, that was good according to the teachers and his parents because he had more experience and his resume would look tempting for any employer, but for Seungmin it was too hectic. He had no time for himself, let alone to make friends or to go see what was out there around the globe, what everyone called “the world”. His world only consisted of his home, school, the football field.
Leaving all this, he could go abroad for university. He already secured a full scholarship for the course he wanted to study in the university of his choice. There was finally something that he got to decide for himself, something that would make him at least a bit happier than his present state. All he had to do was pass his final exams and fly away. But his parents still pressurized him to retain the top rank, the same way he has been doing for years together. Having no friends, Seungmin had to keep all of this and his hardships to himself and developed insomnia. He’d stay up all night worrying and feeling anxious about his future and about how he'll soon be in a totally new environment. Part of him was calm because he got to leave most of the pressure and stress behind but the other parts of him always thought of negative points such as him not having friends in the new place either, or having mental breakdowns while crossing the road and dying-
Tumblr media
About a week before the exams started
Tumblr media
Walking down the hallways of his school for it may be one of the last few times and also because the library was amazing, Seungmin realised that he had forgotten to search upon the important questions on a particular topic that he found difficult in various mock tests before. He headed back to the library but it was full. He quickly went back to the classroom however, when he saw that it was messy and noisy he walked to the chemistry lab because it was under maintenance and no one could enter without the key. Since he was the class president and a member of the student council, of course he had the key. He opened the door and cleared up enough space for his laptop, some books and himself.
Time passed by and Seungmin didn’t realise that it was almost midnight until his stomach started grumbling. He switched off the focus mode to check his texts and go grab some dinner or an energy drink at the least. He got a text from his mother. Yes, one message but a long paragraph lecturing him how he’s supposed to be back home on time to study as if he was out plucking tamarind off the trees. She had asked him where he was playing around while he was overworking himself. Seungmin was hurt. It wasn’t anything new to him and he was used to all the mean and harsh words, nevertheless it still hurt just as much as it did at the beginning.
The pressure of the exams, the harsh words from his own mother, the hunger, his anxiety of his future, everything overwhelmed him and Seungmin fell on his knees, pushing off his pen and a few papers. Tears shedding off his cheeks, his breath getting uneven and stifled, he barely stood back up. When his crying got a bit noisy, he heard sounds. Sounds that weren’t from him, not of his crying. He strolled towards the door to try to find out where the noise was coming from…
Keyword : try.
The door was locked from outside with an external lock to which he didn’t have the keys. Although, even if he had the keys, it was a door, he wouldn’t be able to open it from the inside. However he didn’t just give up and sleep in there. He was hungry and weighed down by all his emotions but he was a human. Every human instinctively prioritizes survival. Seungmin started banging the door with loud thuds so that whoever was making the noises outside could come and help him out. 
“Anyone out there?! Help me get out of here!! I’m stuck! Chemistry lab, please come towards the chemistry lab!! Anyone there?!!” Seungmin cried. In a few minutes he heard a feeble voice that seemed more like a whisper and footsteps nearing in an accelerating speed. “I’m coming! Stop shouting, I’m coming your way!” the voice whisper screamed.
The footsteps weren’t heard anymore. Instead, the voice became louder even though it was still just whispers. “I’m here behind the door, stop freaking out. You’re not alone anymore.” After a little pause they spoke again. “But hey, uh the door seems locked.” The person outside stated the obvious which kind of make Seungmin mad. “Dude, I wouldn’t be stuck in here if I didn’t know the door’s locked.” Seungmin said in an obviously irritable voice.
“Oh, okay. Um… Now that we know you’re stuck and the door is locked, and I don’t have the keys either… I guess we’re going to spend the night here together.” The voice whispered and that person sat down, against the door right where Seungmin was leaning onto on the other side. Seungmin stopped crying and asked the voice, “Why are you whispering though?” To which the voice replied, “It’s late in the night, I don’t want ghosts following me.” And the person out there chuckled.
“Haha not funny!” Seungmin said and started crying again. The person outside felt guilty and found it funny at the same time. “Bro are you seriously scared of ghosts?” They laughed. Seungmin hit the door harder and then they stopped laughing. But there was still some sound. Seungmin couldn’t stop crying. The person outside felt that Seungmin had more than just ghosts going on on his mind to cry about, hence they decided to make him feel comfortable first.
"Hey! Since we’re going to spend the night together, I don’t want us to be awkward and sleep off. Let’s have some fun.” They said and waited for a response, but got none so they just continued, “Well, first of all, my name’s Hyunjin, and I’m from the class next to yours. We hear a lot about how you’re the perfect student every teacher wants blah blah blah but I’ve never really talked to you or got to know you. Since you wouldn’t know much about me because I’m not all studious, I’ll give you a proper introduction of myself now-” Hyunjin was cut off by Seungmin who had something to say. The softest his voice had ever been, Seungmin said, “I know you, I’m part of the football team too. I don’t play really well and I’m usually just a substitute. I only play because my parents want to decorate my resume with various experiences. Well, that’s that and I know you because you’re the hidden star player. You have good tactics and strategy; you make sure everyone gets a chance with the ball and manage to make the team win but the coach refuses to let you in the field for important games only because you’re too selfless and let everyone else carry the game even though you could literally win everyone by yourself. You’re the legend of our team. Everyone talks about you. They all talk about you just as much as they talk about me.” Catching his breath, Seungmin got up.
“Hey, where you going after praising me so much?” Hyunjin whispered. Seungmin didn’t reply to that and went to get his water bottle. He drank water and then sat back down. Hyunjin whispered again, “Ah, you’re back. Tell me if you’re going to walk around or something. What’s the point of me staying with you here if you’re going to do things alone? Also… I know that you’re part of the football team.” He paused for a short while and Seungmin seemed to say nothing so Hyunjin just went on, “Did you think of me as an idiot who doesn’t even know who’s on his team? Oh, please. I know you are my teammate. I’ve even helped you pick the balls after practice once.”
Surprised to have found out that the star player not only knew his existence but had also helped Seungmin out but he had no memory of it, he fell deep into his thoughts yet again.
Tumblr media
A while later, Seungmin just played some lofi music to calm himself down and he started engaging in conversation with Hyunjin and they got to know a lot about each other. Seungmin learnt that people not only talked about him being a football prodigy but also for being very outgoing and handsome. He was that main character from American teen romance movies. Hyunjin also invited Seungmin to hang out with his friends after the exams were over but Seungmin declined the offer politely on account of his preparation for him to leave the country, to fly to his dream university.
They talked more and got comfortable. A while later, Seungmin started opening up to Hyunjin and telling him about how he felt.
“I’m a single child, my parents are very proud of me so far, they have too many expectations for me and set the standards too high. It’s a struggle to get through every single day without breaking down and wanting to let go of everything. I’ve also been class president every year because I’m studious and teachers like me. Everyone thinks it’s cool and really nice but no one knows how much effort it takes. It’s too exhausting and very time consuming. I don’t have…” his voice breaks as he cries while talking. Seungmin sighs and continues, “I don’t have any friends you know? It’s always just home, school and football practice. Since I don’t play much on the field, I have very less opportunities to socialise there too. It's too tough living the life my parents want and not having anyone to share my feelings with. Sometimes I go to the kitchen and grab the knife and bring it close to my wrist and just let my body take over but I’m too much of a coward to do that. It hurts like hell when I know and understand my parents but they don’t do the same for me. Okay, you can’t do the same for me? At least give me enough time to make friends who would do that for me? I’m not saying that my life is the hardest or whatever, I know other people have it worse than me but that doesn’t mean my feelings are insignificant. I am human too and it hurts for me too. Life is so depressing that I want to run away and hide somewhere. I told you I’d be going abroad soon, didn’t I? I am waiting for the day I board the plane. I’ll finally be at least physically away from all this. I hope that day comes soon…”
Hyunjin didn’t know how to comfort him, he just said, “I’m sorry I don’t know what I can do to help. I’ll be here if you want to talk more. Don’t go out and say you have no friends. I am a friend of yours now. Alright? Even though I wish to be more…”
Hyunjin couldn’t sense any response from Seungmin so he placed one of his ears on the door and head Seungmin snoring in tiny. He just smiled to himself, kind of embarrassed that his small confession remained unheard. He had a crazy thought. ‘Why not tell him everything now? I would have told him but he wouldn’t have heard a thing. It’s perfect!’
Taking in a deep breath, Hyunjin spoke really quick, “I have liked you for quite a long time you know? I helped you the other day on the field with collecting the balls and putting them back in the equipment room only because that day I had a sudden urge to tell you everything but I was a coward. I still am, I guess…”
The night was silent, the boys slept
Tumblr media
The next morning, the security came to open the door and woke the boys up. He started questioning them but let them go once he got his answers since they both had a good reputation.
Hyunjin hugged Seungmin. Seungmin was flustered at first but he slowly wrapped his arms around Hyunjin’s waist and hugged him back. “Thank you for being with me last night Hyunjin.” Seungmin said and smiled into the hug.

Is pushing it hard, all we can do?
I really do not understand the world sometimes. I don't know why they think that they do not have time. Actually, they do not even think they do not have the time. It is that they want everything done by a certain time. I don't get it. why do they want it that way? Why it is important to complete your bachelor's just after school, and why there is so much rush, tension, and stress about something as simple as the entrance exams.
Aren't entrance exams supposed to be simple? Aren't any exams supposed to be simple? why is there not enough understanding in all the people out there, that we study that is why we give exams so can we know which part is still not good for us. Instead, there is this system where we only study for exams. If it was not for the exams, we would not study.
The parents, the teachers, and even the children just think of exams in a way that is an evil path we need to overcome. Exams are just supposed to test our knowledge. Not put our life to end. Even if we fail the exam this year, we can give it next year. what the fuck is such a big deal about it. In the meantime, we can acquire some other skills or start an internship. Why it has to be just this year or else everything will be ruined?
Instead of creating pressure to study for the exam. We should romanticize it. Shouldn't we? Imagine studying art and design. Imagine studying all the living creatures. Imagine studying about human body without being in the medical field. Isn't it all amazing? Isn't it fascinating all? For me it is romance. to study, to work, to learn, to create. It is nothing less than reading a romance novel for me. Then why do you want to kill that interest? why do you want to create the fucking pressure for it? I am not fucking studying for the exam. I am not. I never was. I never will. I study the topics deeply because I like them. Because knowing about it makes me happy.

My textbooks to me after I spend all my time on novels and drama:
You didn't love when you had me
But now you need me so badly
You can't be serious
That's hilarious
Thinkin' I would still want you
After the things you put me through
Yeah, you're delirious
That's hilarious

Battle laziness and pursue your goals
One step at a time - motivation for media distracted students
Seeking validation and satisfaction from media consumption and socials is easy. It’s easy to get lost in that colorful world of information, where your brain can constantly find distractions and not have to focus on anything particular for more than a couple of seconds. It gives you small boosts of dopamine and makes you feel good for a while, until you get bored. And at that point, you’re not sure what to do because your attention span can’t deal with anything complicated right now, so you keep scrolling. You become increasingly apathetic while you seek for something that makes you feel … anything, really. But you keep on scrolling, or you keep on watching, or you keep on counting your own likes and interactions to see how many people appreciated your last post… and maybe it gives you that feeling that you’re looking for… just for a few seconds, before it’s gone again.
You know that this is no long term solution for happiness, for finding purpose. And the knowledge makes you feel sad, guilty and disappointed, because you’d like to do something meaningful with your time and achieve something. Make a dream or a goal come true. Pass a test, an exam. Complete your exercise. Or create something. You want to do something that gives your day purpose, that makes you be able to say “Yeah, I’ve done that.”
But that’s it, isn’t it? We like having done something. We don’t like having to do it. Because that part is hard. And it takes effort and energy not to be a passive media consuming brain cell and to instead set our minds to actively focus on one thing and one thing only for the next hour. Or even the next half hour. It’s hard not just because you’re challenging your attention span, but also because it might not seem to give you immediate validation and success. You want to feel good now. But if you really want to achieve something, you know that that feeling of success isn’t gonna happen right away. It might take hours, days weeks, years, to achieve your goal. And that’s … too far away. You want it all, and you want it now. And it makes you feel frustrated. Because how are you going to find the motivation to put in that time and constant work you knows it’ll take to get where you want to be? How are you going to find the motivation to use the tools you have at your disposal to do… anything really.
Because isn’t it funny? Right now you are reading this from a device that can find pretty much any information in a matter of seconds. You could learn any language, any skill, any topic, all just from this small machine. And yet, you use it to distract yourself from your tasks, from the passing of time, from your thoughts, from your work, because it’s easy. It’s hypnotic, momentarily fascinating and it distracts you from reality. And it also distracts you from your dreams and goals.
There is a part of you that really wants to achieve that particular goal, but it’s struggling because the lazy, apathetic part of you keeps monopolising your attention and time. But do you think that distracting yourself will make your goals go away? No, it just keeps you from thinking about the work you have to do to get there, and the guilt of not having done more today. But your goals are still there. Your potential is still there. And all the tools you need to get somewhere, are still there.
So take small steps. Sounds cliché but if you think about it, even if you’ve just learned that one, small paragraph, and even if it took you half an hour, it already brought you closer to your dream than the ten episodes of the tv show you watched this week ever could have. Even a sentence, a word, a number, is a tiny step in the right direction. And learning that seemingly insignificant bit of information is already more meaningful to your goal than watching a two hour movie, or scrolling through socials for four hours. Even a tiny tiny step, counts. And taking a tiny tiny step, that’s not hard, is it? You can read a sentence, right? So read it. Then picture its content. What does it mean and what does it remind you of? Do you think that that sentence is relevant, and why?
Engage with your work, as if you were having a conversation. Except there’s no judgement. There is the input from the source material, but your output, your interaction with the information, counts just as much. And it helps you understand and memorise it better. And once you’ve dealt with one sentence, you can face the next one, and repeat the process. And each time you learn a new particle of information, tell yourself you did a good job. Because you did. That small particle of information is more valuable to your goal than distracting yourself for three hours, jumping from one app to another. So celebrate even the smallest steps with a smile, and a “you did well”. Then look at the next step, with the knowledge that you have all the tools you need to understand and learn that next sentence, that next formula, or that next graph.
Slowly build on the things you’ve learned, connecting new information to old one. Don’t look at your end goal, it’ll only overwhelm you. You know the steps to get to the end goal. So just look at the next step. And once you took it, celebrate that. Give yourself validation for taking that step. Because it counts. Every single step counts. And no one’s gonna stop you from taking another small step. And another one. And another one.
A goal isn’t just one big thing. Thinking that is just part of an “all or nothing” mentality. A goal is just… steps. Lots of steps. And steps aren’t scary. Steps are something you can reach right now. Maybe you don’t know the total number of steps, but you know that when you take one, you have one step less to walk towards your goal. And that is already a small cause to celebrate before you move on to the next one.
So divide your work into steps. Steps aren’t scary. They’re harmless and you’re stronger than them. Take one step at a time. And someday you’re gonna look back at the road you’ve already walked and say “wow, I’ve come a long way”. But that’s for someday. Right now, there’s just one small, next step. And nobody’s stopping you from taking it.
