Confusing But Cool,, Productive Day Studying Chemistry!! Q - Do Yall Think I Shld Do The 100 Days Of

To all the high school students out there with mental illnesses

The thought of your future, especially when you struggle with mental illness, can be a scary thing. I remember feeling like I’d never make it to college, that I’d never make it out of high school, and if I did, I’d certainly never be able to survive college.

Let me tell you, I not only survived high school, but I got into the college of my dreams, and I am surviving here too. College can actually be so much better than high school in terms of accommodations for mental illness. I’ve got an adviser that helps me by getting me extended time on tests or excused absences or things as simple as letting me pet his therapy dog.

College isn’t necessarily for everyone, but don’t let your mental illness deter you from following your dreams, and don’t assume that college will be as unforgiving to your illness as high school can be sometimes. And if I can survive high school, then you certainly can! I believe in you! YOU CAN DO THIS! :D

hey if ur ever feelin shitty use this

Can’t believe school starts in about ten days (O∆O). I hope everyone has had a wonderful and relaxing summer (*´ｪ`*) !! You don’t have to worry about being productive because the point of holidays is to relax and I hope you feel fulfilled and full of energy for the school year!!

One of my close friends on Tumblr offered to give me information on Art/design universities and today she sent me a list of US ones and I’m so so so grateful and amazed at her kindness!! Also, I finally took a look at the SAT practice questions.

ADHD culture is spending more time making to-do lists than actually doing the things on your to-do lists

Physics time!

I was gonna do my laundry but when I turned the corner and saw this on the ground I stopped what I was doing and decided to make a snapchat story of science (I’m @thescalex on snapchat, if you want my username)

*cue Charlie Brown soundtrack of kids cheering*

There’s your science for the day. Go try it out for yourself!

*UPDATED* in the final picture of the original post, I made the mistake of saying “light as a particle” - I should have repeated the initial description (which is now fixed): the effect is from light passing through a single slit and diffracting, which is more accurate to what is being observed, because each bulb is a “point-source of light.” While the general scientific consensus is that light does indeed have particle properties, this single slit experiment is not a true depictor of those properties. While fewer photons do indeed get through, diffraction still (faintly) occurs between the lines. It’s the double slit experiment where things get REALLY weird, though.

STUDY STUDY STUDY- The Few Days Before Exams

My first exam (modern history) is Wednesday. Today is Sunday. For the past few days my life has been about study, study and more study. Here’s the best tips I can give you:

Start NOW

Flashcards are the best way to study- you learn while making them AND by revising

Mindmaps are also good for connecting ideas

And because they can be messy

You don’t have time to be neat and meticulous (though go ahead if it helps you)

My advice is to just make it legible enough for YOU

Remember, this is for you

Practice papers are your friend

But let’s be real, you probably don’t have time

So instead of essays do essay plans, for example

Or practice introductions, that’s useful too. It helps you come up with ideas

Take care of yourself, you’re obviously busy, but take breaks for meals at the very least

Start with the hard stuff and then do the easy stuff

For example, I have been revising history during the day and annotating books at night as part of my nighttime reading

Try and get enough sleep while you can

Don’t forget the big picture

Talk to friends & family if you’re feeling anxious

Aim for 100%- Know as much as you possibly can, even if you don’t expect to get 100

Learn the structure of your exams, it’s so much less daunting on the day

Utilise your teachers if you need them

Breathe, it’ll be okay

You got this

Don’t forget to prepare the materials you’ll need

And go ace those exams :)
