how i survived finals

STUDY SPOTS I mainly studied at my universities library. In their B.Y.O.D(device) area. Its an area where they have these massive monitors you can plug your laptop. IN: dual monitors OUT: eye fatigue My next study spot was a cafe in my area. It had a very lowkey cozy vibe, with diner style cushy booths, that made studying comfortable. It was way better than my previous cafe study spot, a very hipster-esque spot — I always had trouble finding a spot to sit, and the tables there were always wobbly. Uncool. IN: lowkey dive‘y cafes OUT: places that do nitro cold brew STUDY TOOLS My usual study technique is re-writing all my notes in notion, until they are beautifully colour-coded and perfect. I refuse to use google docs or word for my notes, it makes them so un-interesting. Asides from my notion antics, I did something I don’t usually do — I wrote things out by hand. I bought a couple great pens, and a legal pad, and got to jotting things down so they would stay in my brain. I wouldn’t call it note taking per se, because I never referred to my chickenscrach filled papers again. I simply used it to write things out in a way where I would have to slow down and grasp the concept, rather than typing it at my 80 WPM speed. I ended up really liking using a legal pad, I felt very cool and mysterious. IN: legal pads OUT: google docs STUDY SNACKS/BEVS Everyone knows that when it’s finals week, money doesn’t matter. You can spare any expense to ensure you’re fuelled with caffeine and nutrition. I honestly ate like sh*t throughout finals. The DQ on campus was a nightly spot. For beverages, I love a Celsius, that’s what fuelled me through. Also a double shot iced americano with a splash of oat milk I did also drink bone broth every morning for that hit of protein. Im not much of a study snacker, at the library — because I think opening up a nature valley granola bar and spilling it all over the shared desks is a bit of a rookie move. IN: americanos OUT: nature valley granola bar STRESS CONTROL You gotta look out for your mental during finals. Performance anxiety is the devil. Avoid it. Work hard. But not too hard. Don’t study in your bedroom – it’s important to have a space where you feel completely detached from school. I also did a 🍄 trip with friends on the weekend during finals. I wouldn’t say it helped or harmed me. It really did just give me a much needed break. Don’t pull all nighters — it fucks your brain up bad. trust me… I know. Remind yourself that it’s not the end of the world if you don’t do well. Keep motivated. I watched a Tokyo Toni motivational speech video multiple times a day during finals (she speaks some truth). The best way to approach finals is to embrace airport culture: -No time norms at an airport, it’s open 24hrs, so is your university’s library. Treat an early studying session at the library like an early flight to catch; wear your PJs, get some fast food breakfast, and power through. -People survive the hell of travelling/the airport cause they know a vacation is the reward; you can survive the hell of studying/the library because you know winter break is your reward. -You miss your flight? Stressful. But there’s always another one. You fail your final? Stressful, but you can always retake the course. IN: airport culture OUT: bed rot studying … these are just some of my tips, and I hope they help. ###

i love this app

i open it, wait for it to load (delayed gratification), swipe the top refs, like them, check out the accounts their from, might follow, see what the people i follow are posting, search up new music or something random (all on my own accord, no algorithm, no doomscrolling) find something actually cool that i bookmark/add to a list to check out (which i do check out), either leave the app satisfied or make a silly little post and then leave the app with no urge to keep scrolling or looking, happy with my time spent
