7 Ways Not To Study

These are all things I do, and my life is kind of going downhill.

7 Ways Not To Study

1. All-nighters

A sleep schedule is apparently super important. Why do I know this? Well, for one, science, but for two, I randomly fall asleep because I only get maybe 5 hours of sleep a night.

2. In your bed

Maybe this is obvious. But you don't need to get too comfy or else you'll not do your work and just end up falling asleep and hating yourself for it and staying up again super late and repeating the cycle all over again.

3. With the friends you know are going to distract you

I love my friends, and we get along because they're just great. Sometimes, though, I have to kick them to the curb for studying because I'm paying tuition, not to be their friend.

4. Too much

Taking a break is not the end of the world. Burnout is a very real thing that sucks. Your classwork can wait for an hour.

5. Getting stuck in a Netflix spiral

I love streaming just as much as the next girl. But one episode of "Scandal" quickly turns into 5 hours, and there's really no coming back from that point.

6. Procrastination

I am the Q U E E N of procrastinating. I'll have a week to write a lab report and then stay up all night before lab to do it. It's not a good habit to start, but if you can figure out how to stop, hit me up.

7. When you go home for the weekend

I have NEVER done homework when I've gone home to visit my family on the weekend. I say that I will. I bring my backpack and books. Do I ever touch it though? No. I have grandparents and a little brother and a boyfriend. Studying can wait.

Basically, I'm leading by example by showing you to do the complete opposite of me.

Happy studying!

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
