I really want an environmental revolution to happen soon. Gardens everywhere, herbal wisdom flourishing, intelligent environmental policies, aggressive fighting for plants, straying away from reliance on shady food industries and growing our own to help our own and nurture our own, we see everything, how it’s made and who it goes to cause it’s ours typa shit. I really want this.

GET EXCITED. Find some books that you really want to read and make a list of them to motivate yourself. Remind yourself why you like to read. Dredge up that childhood excitement and love.

MAKE IT A PRIORITY. Reading is not a difficult task. It’s just that most of us fail to make it a priority when we factor in the rest of our responsibilities.

ALWAYS CARRY A BOOK WITH YOU. You’re more likely to read if you have a book within reach, for practical reasons and because it’ll remind you of your reading. Bring a novel with you to school or a cafe just in case you find a few minutes to read.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LITTLE SLOTS OF TIME. If you take public transportation, read on the bus. Read in the five minutes before class starts. If there is a time slot when you’d usually be browsing your social media to pass the time, read instead. I promise it’ll make you feel a lot better about yourself.

MAKE IT A HABIT. If you’ve decided that you’re going to read on the bus every day, read on the bus every day. Block out a time that is dedicated to reading and make it a habit.

GET OUT OF READING SLUMPS by reading short books, pageturners, or graphic novels to build momentum.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS. Get a goodreads, make a spread in your bullet journal, keep a spreadsheet, or keep a piece of paper to track what books you’ve read and whether you liked them. It’s satisfying to look back on your year and see how many books you’ve read. You can even keep track of how long you’ve read in a day, or how many pages you’ve read in a day.

INVOLVE OTHER PEOPLE. Buddy read with someone (be it your mom or an internet friend). Watch booktube videos. Join a reading group on Goodreads. Friend me on Goodreads! Involve other people so reading becomes integrated into other aspects of your life.

//I have a love-hate relationship with calculus, on one hand I love seeing biology and math fit together and make sense in the grander scheme of things, but I’m not mathematically inclined by nature so it’s often a struggle// - What classes do you guys enjoy the most? I’m curious! My Insta: @Neurobiologies

5 Steps to Keeping your Cool

1. Keep things in perspective: Often we catastrophise or we over-react when the issue or offense is insignificant. Here, remind yourself, “it’s minor, and not worth the fight.”

2. Visualise yourself coping: Take a few deep breaths and let your feelings settle. Then, in a calm, low voice respond in a way that maintains your self-respect.

3. Be aware of your triggers: If we know what those are then we can regain control, and can practice how to cope when our feelings have been stirred.

4. Create a calm environment: Stay one step ahead by preparing yourself for inevitable setbacks and infuriating people.

5. Distract yourself: When you feel the pressure building, think of something that’s amusing, or choose to do something that will help to change your mood.
