1. Just because you took 7 classes in high school doesn’t mean you can manage 7 classes in college.
2. Just because you woke up at 6am everyday in high school doesn’t mean you can wake up at 6am everyday in college.
3. Just because you got straight A’s in high school doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily get straight A’s in college (and that’s okay).
4. Just because your teachers in high school said they were preparing you for college doesn’t mean you’re actually prepared for college.
5. If your advisor says it’s too much, it’s too much.
6. If Health Services says to take a day off, take a day off.
7. If you have flu symptoms, do not go to class, you don’t want to be the start of an epidemic.
8. If you have a diagnosed disability (including mental illness) you can get a lot of accommodations including stuff that you might not expect, like making teachers accept late work
Anonymous asked: Hello I am a huge fan of your work it is great. Can i ask you some study related tips? If yes, plz can you suggest how do we motivate ourselves while studying? Like,for example, when we have a huge syllabus for the finals, we got to study but somehow cant.. Due to boredom or lack of motivation...

Hey! Here are a few things that might help :-)
But look, you have to think realistically. You can’t and never will be motivated 100% of the time. It doesn’t happen that way. If we relied on motivation, we’d be productive for a very limited time. Try to think in terms of action creates motivation, rather than motivation creating action. Start working on a small part, perhaps just looking over one part of syllabus and picking out the key things yo uwant to cover. Of course it is daunting. Seeing everything laid out like a complex treasure map that you’re never going to get through. But slowly working at it is better than leaving it until a point of no return. Once you start doing something, try to figure a way to keep going. Perhaps track your progress each day - journal what you’ve done, how you feel. Watch the time stack up that you’ve worked. The key is to make that time productive. If you work for 3 hours and feel you’ve got nothing done because in reality, you’ve played on your phone, been online shopping, sifted through 10 tasks rather than focusing on one, you’re going to feel it’s a waste and push yourself further into this idea “it isn’t working”, “I’m wasting my time”. Try to set up a small schedule - 20 minutes working, then a 5 minute break. On those breaks, avoid doing something that you may find distracting. This doesn’t mean you can never go on Reddit again during a break but in those initial moments, try to avoid it. Go for a walk around the house instead. Get a drink. Tidy up your desk and get back to work! You’ll start building momentum when you feel like your time is going somewhere. It is always hard but working towards a balance between studying and fun is what you need! You need to improve that time you spend studying so you can enjoy your life beyond that and not have this guilty feeling! xx

Remember how Marvel hit us with Infinity War and then gave us Ant-Man and the Wasp like “here’s some fun, light watching that will have no lasting emotional distress for you bc you deserve it :)” but then that was an absolute lie after we saw the mid-credit scene? WELL Marvel sure is doing the same thing this year by dropping Endgame and then saying “good job! you made it through endgame! here’s a fun movie about peter parker going on a big trip with his friends & jake gyllenhaal :)”. Just saying keep your guard up kids bc ffh being a consolation prize is what the government (marvel) WANTS you to think. they have something up their sleeve and I’m onto them
