We are at the end of 2024 and I feel the need to say this
You don't have to be guilty for the goals you didn't get to achieve for this year because of mental health/any other problems.
You can be guilty for the goals you didn't achieve because of laziness and procrastination. It's human honestly.
The person you look up to in terms of their goals and achievements may or may not be disappointed in themselves because of something too.
Someone looks up to you in terms of their goals and achievements without you knowing about them.
You don't need a new year to change your life and get a new you.
If you're struggling with addiction/ compulsive behaviours (anything really), a reminder that it takes time and it doesn't disappear overnight and it's normal to relapse. That doesn't mean you haven't achieved your goal.
And on the other hand, if you're trying to work on a productive habit but are unable too, that is also normal. Habits take time to form.
It's okay to not have goals for the new year.
It's also okay to have a huge list of goals for the new year.
It's okay to feel excited for new beginnings.
It's okay to feel dreadful and anxious about it too.
It's okay to not be okay.
Thanks for the tag! :D

I'm damn anxious about tomorrow's exam, like... i haven't even revised half the stuff...
Today wasn't bad but not too good either :")
Honestly I'm overthinking quite a lot because of the finals so much that i got a freaking headache.... Anxiety has been following me around all week, I don't even know how I'm gonna manage...
Today I:
Studied Accounts (2hr 15mins)
Studied Business studies (1hr)
Honestly nothing much but gosh, my major problem is studies plus teacher pressure and subtract your hobbies/interest multiply zero time and divide your health. Isn't the equation really good? T-T
I can do it... atleast i hope i can. Tomorrow i have school till 3, I'll be at home by 4: 30 and tomorrow is fully accounts in the evening so I'll be studying either economics or business studies in the morning... let's see.

Hi :)
Sorry for the late reply, thanks for this, really appreciate it! Right back to you <3
You know, being a senior is such a good vibe. Like, nobody messes with you and everyone comes to talk to you from sophomore and junior years to ask about class selection and finals. And you give the vibe of that wise old owl who in fact doesn't know anything.
Explore. Clubs. Extra curriculars. Sports. Anything. When you get to freshman year, start exploring. Even if you're a sophomore, junior or senior. Start exploring because you need to be involved in something other than your school. (But don't overdo it!! Max of 2-3 extracurriculars)
Do your homework/assignments as soon as you can.
Get a planner/calender. Update it daily.
Exercise. Dance. Jog. Jump. Do whatever you want but exercise atleast 3 times a week.
Sleep earlier. Before 11 preferably.
Whatever you do, don't back answer a teacher.
Allow yourself to relax but don't overdo it.
Choose your friends carefully. Keep 2 or 3 close friends.
Don't just blabber everything about anything. Think before you speak
Don't involve yourself in any sorts of drama. Clear everything out before it even starts cause it's definitely gonna backfire if you don't
Choose your friends carefully. I mean, very carefully.
Time is investment, use it to your advantage.
For exams, solve past year question papers!!!
Have a doubt in something? Go ask your teacher (it will save you the trouble)
YouTube has a wide variety of videos for you to learn from
Study everyday. Just for an hour. It's more than enough.
Read. Read. Read. Write. Write. Write. Anything.
Honestly, get a study group. (I mean it. Don't study together in the same place. Just send important questions and ask doubts.)
Study things that were thought in previous classes. You will be behind the class but it definitely helps during exams/tests.
Most of all, try to enjoy. You won't get back your highschool years. I realise that now.
I did a similar post a few months ago. The mistakes that I made during my junior year. You can find it here.
Hope this helps! :D
I can't believe I'm this close to my exams. Literally a week and gosh, it's gonna be a hectic month. My highschool party got over yesterday so I literally didn't study anything. Now, the main question is... How in the world am i gonna use these precious days to get the best possible result?
I don't wanna get burned out like I had last year in the middle of the exam month so I'll be taking consistent breaks. From Friday, I'll be studying Arabic because that's my first exam so exactly 3 days to prepare for it. Then I just have... Like 4 more days... I gotta fit in Business studies, Economics, Accountancy and Computer Applications in it... I can't revise fully, I'll just revise the things I haven't in awhile.
I haven't been studying a lot this year but I still feel confident enough so... I guess it is what it is...
Today I:
Did Accounts 1 hr+
Did some business studies revision.
Thank you, really appreciate it! And right back to you <33

What to do during breaks? (as in no school)
In terms of preparing for the next semester or year…
Hey Anon! :D
How To Productively Use Time During Breaks For Preparing
These are some tips that I've used after experimenting with a lot of things
___________________
Not More Than 2–3 Hours
I recommend this because you have a high possibility of burning out during school weeks if you even study during breaks. So, this is why just three hours is more than enough. Spend your time enjoying too.
Concentrate On Basics
This is one of the best ways to spend your breaks. If you're weak in a particular subject [Mine was Accounts], I spent my summer and my term breaks strengthening my accounting basics.
It helped so much when school started because everyone was trying to catch up on the advanced topics, but I could straightaway start with the year's materials. So, build your basics or revise that year's topics. Most of the subjects are just built in layers. So if you learn something in junior year, then it will likely appear in senior year but a bit more advanced.
Watch Concept Videos [Basics or Coming Term/Semester]
You could go through the syllabus for the next term or year and, based on that, watch videos related to that on YouTube. You can first go through the coming year's topics, and then you can decide if you're confident with new topics or if you still haven't figured out the basics. But these really help.
Prepare Cheat Sheets In Advance
If you get your hands on the coming year's textbook, then go through the chapters and write all the formulas or theorems [Shorten them]. Those are your cheat sheets for the whole term/year. Great for revision. You can even start practicing with this, but it's good to have these cheat sheets.
Complete Language Papers
I had two languages all throughout high school. And this trick always worked for me. A week before school starts, I'd literally sit and complete reading through my English and Arabic textbooks. I didn't do the exercises, but I completed all the lessons and sometimes even had short notes of the story ready. It doesn't take much time to complete your language syllabus. I always recommend this.
Tackle Your Grammar
Take it a step further [if you want] and revise or learn new grammar topics. I say this because, honestly, grammar takes some time to soak in, so by the time school starts, you'll have confidence with your language papers. Which honestly makes your work easier in the long run.
Improve Math [If You Have A Number Based Paper]
If you have any paper that is number-based, then work on your mental math. Practice with it. It helps during exams and saves a lot of time. Literally. Especially if you're not allowed to use a calculator. Memorize the square and cube roots from 1 to 10. Or anything else that matters.
_______________________
Do take time to rest because, honestly, this is the time you'll get to rest. So, enjoy too xD
Other than that, I hope this helps you :)
