- a lifeguide for students with anxiety - i’ve been struggling with anxiety for more than a decade. needless to say, i know what it’s like to be in a school system when your mental health isn’t at its best. it’s easy to get discouraged and give up on your studies. i’ve been there as well, but look at me now, i’ve graduated from a bachelor degree, a master degree and i’m even doing a second one. IT-IS-POSSIBLE. if i did it, you can do it as well. so here, i picked some of my best tips that i wish i’d know sooner when i got to higher education, when my mental health failed me. x prioritize i can’t stress this enough. P R I O R I T I Z E all your tasks. it’s easy to be overwhelmed with work, emotions, pressure. so whenever you feel like you’ve got a thousand things to do but don’t know how/where to start : list everything. as soon as you’re done with your list, pick three colours : one for important tasks that need to be done asap one for tasks that you have to do but aren’t a life or death question one for tasks that can wait/less important once it’s done, mark your important tasks with numbers: one for the most important, second for the second most important etc… this method will help you to know what you’ve got to do first and help you organise your brain.
x use the pomodoro method being anxious means procrastinate then worry about procrastination because you’ve got a lot to do but also struggle to focus because your mind is thinking about something else… it’s an endless spiral. the pomodoro method is well-known amongst studyblrs but it is really helpful when you can’t focus. 20 minutes of work, 5 min break, repeat it 4 times then give yourself a bigger break. honestly it worked for me. i go full hardcore mode for 20mn, and i’ve never been more productive. + bonus tips : my mind wanders easily, so i also use an extension that blocks websites (forest is the best!!) it helps me to stay focus.
x when it’s too much, stop it you’ve got to submit an essay, you haven’t got much time left but you can’t work. you can’t work because you’re too anxious, because you’re scared, because you want to give up, because all of this, is getting too much. did that ever happen ? don’t force it, you’re not going to be more productive, trust me on this one. instead of crying your eyes out on this essay, give yourself a break. have a shower, talk to a relative/friend, cook something, go out for 5 minutes, scroll your tumblr timeline, do some breathing exercises, do something else. when you’re feeling a tad better, come back, write down everything that is currently making you anxious and split them in two: what can/can’t be solved. and then write down solutions, even long terms ones. once it’s done, you should feel a bit better, enough to go back to your work.
that’s all for the real real real tips, but here’s some bonus that i do as well: - listen to classical/relaxing playlist - use earplugs when i need to be super focused - always keep a notebook nearby, it’s helpful to write what you’ve got in mind - ask for help. never be scared to reach to someone when you can’t do it anymore, it’s important. - remember to take time for yourself as well, sleep is important, so is staying hydrated.
i know it’s not much but those tips helped me get through my dissertation and honestly i would have done so much better if i had known those lil tips before.
take care, - aly

Didn't do a lot today, except doing two lessons (and those are short!) from my textbook and writing summaries for my 'Introduction to Japanology' class. Felt down as well and only got dressed to get vegan cheesecake
今日は、あまりしませんでした。でも、私の教科書から2つのレッスンをしました。悲しいしました、ためにチーズケーキを買った。

Here’s some old Geography notes on the North-South divide. This was the first time I used some of my Tombow Brush Pens and I remember instantly falling in love with them because they are so good.

STUDYING WITH DEPRESSION INFOGRAPHIC
This topic is really close to my heart. I’ve struggled with Depression for 4 years but I didn’t reach out for help until this year because I’ve been scared. It took a toll on me as a person and especially my grades. 
If you’re suffering from the same issue, PLEASE REACH OUT FOR HELP. DON’T BE AFRAID TO SPEAK OUT. IF THEY DON’T RESPOND POSITIVELY, YOU HAVE A WHOLE COMMUNITY SUPPORTING YOU, REMEMBER THAT. TALK TO ME, OR TALK TO SOMEONE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH.

Self Care with Study-Sexy
1. LOG OFF OF SOCIAL MEDIA. I’m serious. You can even go as far as deleting the apps and re-installing them later. You don’t have to go as far as me and get rid of your snapchat account (which has minimized my feelings of anxiety and loneliness by like 90%), but scaling back is good and your life isn’t going to end if you stay off of IG, Snapchat, FB, etc for a few days, weeks, or even months. After a week or so away, you might even be pleasantly surprised and find that you prefer the peace and quiet. 
2. DO SOME KIND OF POSITIVE AND REFLECTIVE JOURNALING. I started my own “positivity journal” back in August and this is the first time that I have stuck with journaling for so long and actually find it enjoyable. It helps me find the good in my life and reminds me of what I want. If you are interested in starting your own, I can write a longer post about mine but here are things you could include to get you started: 
> Self-Reminders (positive affirmations about yourself, inspiring and important things you don’t want yourself to forget, etc) 
> Things to Work On ( actions/mentality to avoid and ones to practice)
> Healthy Habits (that you want to adapt into your routine)
> Free-writing space (you can answer self-reflection prompts or write whatever’s on your mind)
> Life goals, Daily Gratefulness, Inspiring Quote of the Day/Week, Positivity Playlist, Creative Projects to Try, etc the possibilities are endless
3. NATURE WALKS. Leave your phone at home and bring your dog and maybe a friend. The fresh air always clears my head and makes me feel more alert and awake, especially because it is a little bit crisp and chilly now. 
4. NETFLIX IN MODERATION. If you’re a student like me you probably don’t have that much time to binge watch anyway but I mostly just watch Netflix on weekends. Doing this makes it more enjoyable because it’s like a reprieve from a long week of work. Occasional Netflix binges are ok but you don’t want watching TV shows to be your only escape and coping mechanism. 
5. NAPS. Studies have shown that short naps are beneficial to get you out of a slump and can make you feel more focused. I take 20-30 min naps sometimes after school and (a big snack) before tackling my homework and I feel like it helps since I get home feeling drained almost every day. 
6. MOISTURIZE. I always feel better after washing my face and putting on a good lotion. Idk why but it just works. 
Hope you found these tips helpful! <3 if you read all the way to the end ILY

college advice part 7/7 : how to get over a bad semester
→ this took me a while because i wanted to make sure it was valid advice and it wasn’t just thrown together. here are some things i’ve tried/noticed/whatever in my time at school and in dealing with these kinds of situations.
take a break. take a one-week break, a two-week break, even a month if you need it. take that time to relax and get your head back in the game. overworking and over-stressing are not the way to get back on track. 
get a job. doing some work and making some money can really make you realize that you wanna get a degree so that you can get a better job make more money. doing some work can also get you on a schedule and make you realize that you do have responsibilities!! and this is key to being able to remember that school is one of your major responsibilities!!
get an ESA (emotional support animal). my partner and i got a cat when he started having trouble and it has helped immensely in giving him the ability to be able to realize that he has a responsibility to another living being. we have to take our cat to vet appointments, etc. and it’s reaLLY helpful to have to allot time and build a schedule!! it has also helped him in maintaining a schedule since he knows the cat can’t be alone for days at a time, so it’s made his class time very valuable and even more important since it’s good to keep a schedule!!
see a therapist, and maybe get on some medication if you need to. there’s a certain stigma around seeing a therapist and being on medication for mental illnesses. there’s a certain stigma around mental illnesses in general. these stigmas need to stop. i firmly believe that everyone should have someone professional that they can talk to about anything and everything that causes them stress, anxiety, depression, etc.
let your professors know what’s going on. oftentimes, professors are completely underutilized. if you let them know what’s going on, they will likely be very willing to help in any way they can. especially if they see you putting forth extra effort like going to their office hours to understand things if you missed class, writing them emails letting them know what’s going on, talking to them before/after classes if you need to, etc.
establish a link between the Dean of Students (or the equivalent at your school), yourself, your advisor/counselor, your psychiatrist/psychologist, and your professors. this will be very helpful when you’re having some severe stress or anxiety that causes you to miss class. alternatively, find out if your school has a Disability Resource Center or something similar and see if you can get accommodation, still keeping everyone in the loop!
remind yourself that you are worth it. read happy things everyday. here are some.
it’s okay to not be okay all the time
step by step guide on how to become extremely beautiful
quotes by esteé lauder, anonymus, nathan w. morris and diane von furstenberg.
rainbow reminders
things i tell myself
relax
i needed this so badly
you belong among wildflowers
i think you need a break
hey if ur ever feelin shitty use this
also, suicide hotline. do not hesitate to call it or any of the number here if you need to.
i hope this helps someone, even if it’s only one person and even if it’s not today or tomorrow or anytime soon. i just hope that you all know that people care and that you are not alone. as always, i’m here if anyone needs anything.

shakespeare is my favourite author of all times, hence the need to share this beauty of a book.

This morning I’ve been doing lots of practice questions for history which meant that I had to look at some of my old notes. I was really shocked at how different (and neater) my notes are now! I’m definitely happier with my notes style now because they are easier to read and revise.
