little study tips

set up a reward system: be that candy, lighting your favorite scented candle, watching that episode of b99, or scrolling through tumblr aimlessly for 5 minutes! ensures you stay motivated while completing tasks step by step

create a vision board: vision boards are collections of pictures that motivate you or describe a future you want to achieve. not only is it a lot of fun, you learn a lot about yourself and your goals and always have something to give you that spike of motivation. tip: pinterest has amazing boards on every. topic. out. there

break up your larger tasks into smaller ones: i’m sure you’ve heard this a thousand times but it’s so important to create a list of smaller tasks instead of one big one. everything seems much more do-able once of a sudden, and you can prioritize certain tasks much more easily.

write it down instead of looking at it: if you really want to memorize something, writing it down will help you a lot more than just repeating the words out loud or staring at them. this also goes for any structures you need to know by heart: printing out a picture and labeling it is way better than just looking at the labeled textbook!

just start for 5 minutes: even if you don’t feel like it, tell yourself you’ll only do it for 5 minutes. this makes it easier to actually get started on things, and might still trick you into continuing the work even after those 5 minutes are over.

write a letter to your future self: some websites, such as futureme, offer the free service of being able to send yourself an email in some months, a year or multiple years from now. thinking about how much can change in that amount of time and how far you can come is extremely motivating, and also a very nice surprise for your future self.

Abuse Victims- Can You Relate??

Being able to read a person’s microaggressions without even trying (He’s upset. I don’t know how I know he’s upset, but he is). I’m always right.

Being able to hear a lie in someone’s voice without looking at them.

Unconsciously being aware of every shift in the room, but still jumping a mile when someone comes up from behind.

Forcing your body into autopilot when life just gets too hard to handle, but then realizing you’re dissociating and trying to bring yourself back.

That stare that all your friends call your “resting bitch face.”

Nearly punching people in the face when they scare you.

Being amazingly good at one thing because you had nothing else to do as a kid (for me, reading and writing).

People calling you mature for your age.

People being stunned at the fact that you know more life skills than a thirty year old.

On the other hand, cringing when you don’t know how to do something everyone else knows how to do.

Constantly feeling tired no matter how long you sleep.

Telling a story about your childhood, and stopping halfway through when you realize everyone is horrified.

Not understanding why people complain about taxes and insurance and money while you’re just happy you get to have plants in your room now.

Having absolutely no control over your emotions, yet everyone thinks you’re so level headed and mature because you’re not physically capable of showing it.
