I Still Haven’t Figured Out How To Sit Across From You, And Not Be Madly In Love With Everything You

Why I don't like talking

Other People: you should talk more!

Me: *tries to talk*

-gets ignored

-gets interrupted

-gets talked over

-no one pays attention

-no one cares

If you go to school/uni and have friends, this post is for you. Here are seven tips to help you balance school and social life. Read on.

Use social events as alarm clocks or deadlines for you to finish your homework, or any school work. If you’re going out with friends on a certain time, do everything you have to do before that certain time.

Know when you can actually do what you have to do. Don’t force yourself to finish everything because that can lead to frustrations that will mess up your work, leading to more work, which is counterproductive.

Use social events as rewards. It could be after you’ve finished exams, or if you have reached a goal. This is what me and my friends do. Even the simple act of getting ice cream after exams is a gift when done with friends.

Never go out a week before any exam. Dedicate that time to studying and reviewing. Nuh-uh. Gotta stay firm on this. You’ll thank yourself.

Use social events as a challenge to yourself. This is something I made up. I study before going out, and make flashcards or type questions. When I arrive home, I question/test myself. If I got at least 80% of the questions right, I reward myself. The reward depends on my current mood, really, but I usually reward myself with reading a certain number of pages of a book (not academic books, please, I need a break).

Make flashcards. You can review these flashcards even when going out. Just don’t overdo it. Your friends might think it’s inconsiderate. I mean, hey, you came there to have fun, put down those flashcards and actually have fun and relax. You had your time, and you’ll have more time for that later. Tip: don’t go out unless you’re done or unless you still have a lot of time on your hands. Be honest to yourself.

Commence a group study! For people who study better with people (not me), this is a great way to bond with your friends and your lessons. You can ask your friends about something you don’t understand. And, come on, if you’re with your friends, something fun/crazy is bound to happen. Just be careful not to procrastinate.

sooo basically my stationery-loving nerd ass has a tendency to over-buy when ordering, and so i have a few bits and bobs that I don’t really use??? I’ve been hoping to do a giveaway of some sort for a really long time, so i’m hoping to use this as a tester and maybe do another bigger one if it goes well !!

items in the giveaway:

cloud-shaped correction tape

two sets of page markers (blue + grey/beige)

three black-ink cactus pens

two marble-pattern washi tapes (one white, one black)

a set of small plant-patterned envelopes

although I initially ordered them for myself, I’ll just clarify that all items are unused and are in the condition that they were when I first received them.

how to enter:

reblog this post (likes won’t be included)

be following me (x)

thats ………………. literally it 

if you enter, please make sure that you’re either over 18 years old or have parents’ permission to give me your address (so that I can post it to you)

if all goes well and 10+ people enter, I’ll be ending the giveaway on tuesday 1st may 2018 and posting it asap once a winner is chosen w a random generator. the giveaway is open worldwide, but if you live outside of the UK, just be aware that I’m not sure how long shipping will take!

thank you !!!!

Free DIY Flashcards Printable Pack

I’ve been meaning to organise these for aaaages but thought I’d finally spend the time on them :-) These flashcards are DIY - so you double-side print them so they line up, then cut them out to use! If you struggle to align them you can stick two pages together instead. You can also scale them up or down to bigger or smaller sizes. I also added in some front covers to help organise them! Hope they’re useful :-)

Free download link is below:
