what they tell you: oh sophomore year’s going to be a breeze! you shouldn’t have any trouble maintaining straight A’s

what actually happens: three days of being sick sets you back a fucking month and you have to stress about making shit up on top of everything teachers are throwing at you to do alongside everyone else. they’re out for blood and your sleep

Helpful tips to get through homework

((This post is a rambly mess in some ways because I needed something to do while I was on break, I’ll most likely rewrite this later!!))

I’m writing this while I’m on a break in between notes, but I wanted to share some nice tips for how to get through homework. These tips have been passed down from teachers, my therapist, and myself as ways that’ve helped me get through rough nights of endless work. I hope some of my tips can be helpful!

Take breaks! - Giving your brain a break is the best way to help stay focused during a lot or even a little bit of homework. Do homework for 15 minutes, take a 5 minute break to get some fresh air, grab a quick snack, or just doodle to give your brain a small bit of downtime. If you’re focused and don’t want to stop until a certain thing is done, it’s okay to keep going. Just don’t strain yourself!

Give yourself a bit of downtime - Throughout the school day, I’m on heavy medication to keep myself focused, and when I come home from school I’m looking to get some time to unwind. Giving yourself an hour or two to relax and destress from the hectic school day is perfectly fine. But be sure to set a time to get started on your work, and stick to it! 

Stay organized - Being surrounded by mess will only increase stress since you won’t know where in the world things are. Organize what you have to do into piles by subject, important things at the top and less important things at the bottom.

Put on some relaxing music - Breaking noisy distractions around you will help keep you focused! If you’re trying to read something, some calm music with little to no lyrics will help to keep you on track. Trying to get an annoying packet done? Turn up your favorite jams and make it fun! Sing along as you work, move to the beat, just make the process seem less of a pain.

Be comfy - Grab a cup of tea/hot cocoa/etc., throw on some sweatpants, and wrap up in a nice warm blanket. Being comfy will make things go by a lot smoother. 

Don’t do homework in bed - I cannot stress this enough, laying down while doing your homework will just make you want to fall asleep. Sit up at a desk or on your couch and stay awake and alert. 

Have a game plan - Make an organized list of what you have to do. Start with the subjects you dislike the most/have the most work, and then work your way down to the subject with the least amount of work/the class you have the most fun doing.

Have a project? Break it up - Breaking down a massive project over the time you have until it’s due will relieve a lot of stress! Achieving small goals as the project goes along and staying on track with what you have to do will help keep you calm and from doing everything at the last minute!

Reward yourself - Give yourself small rewards for completing large tasks! Small bits of encouragement to keep you motivated will keep you going until you reach your goal.

If you have an issue, contact your teacher - Please do not be afraid to email your teachers to let them know if you’re struggling to keep up with your work. They’re there to help you, and if you’re in need of help they’ll do whatever they can to help you succeed. If you’re running into mental troubles, express them to your teachers and work with them to see if you can get deadlines extended, lighten your homework load, etc. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

I hope these tips can offer some help, I thought of these as I typed so I apologize if they’re a bit out of order!

jESUS don't trust me with a phone and tumblr at 01:40am when I have a headache because goddamn I'm passive-aggressive as hell. I'm going to go curl up in bed and sleep the pain away, goodnight y'all ✨
