Sports psychology? Meh.

7pm? WORST. ~~‘specially if you gotta get up early the next morning.~~
It’s been a year and people who had exams on December 19th, 2012 are still angry hahahaha.

3 Ways to Take Study Breaks

Posted on December 8, 2013 | 2 comments

Note: Thank you for your kind responses to my last post! With all that encouragement, I promise y’all that I won’t quit on you.

Scenario: it’s exam time right now. You’re going stir-crazy from sitting and studying alone in your room, and when you do decide to take a break you can’t really do anything because it’s dark and freezing outside. Also, all your friends have left you because they’re busy studying, too, so you haven’t had any proper human contact for a while.

So what can you do? Take a break and do one (or all) of these things, all from the warmth and comfort of your own room!

1. Phone a friend.

Even if it’s just your little brother, having a chat about anything but school is great way to get your mood up. Also, talking on the phone whilst lying across your bed is just so retro and cool and totally a 90’s kid thing to do.

2. Listen to music.

Christmas music, if it suits you. Belt those carols out. Maybe try the Jingle Bell Rock dance. Own that Christmas spirit!

Don’t celebrate Christmas? That’s alright, just stick to the seasonal-but-not-religious stuff like Mr. Grinch. ~~And while you’re listening to that, make sure to note your favourite insults for the next time someone breaks your heart.~~

3. Drink tea. Stave off that cold!

I just ordered a 50g pack of Spiced Fig tea from David’s Tea and I’m so excited!

Make sure you take care of yourself, both mentally and physically. Best of luck on your exams! 🙂

Last day of exams

Posted on April 24, 2013 | 1 comment

So I don’t know if you guys noticed, but there are giant bean bags all over the main part of the UBCV campus. ~~I’m looking at you, Main Mall.~~

They’re literally huge, white, squishy, organ-shaped sacks with “Pop Rocks” printed on them in red ink. They appear to be here for the sole purpose of being stepped, sat, and lounged upon. ~~seriously UBC, what’s going on.~~

They’re not even that soft 🙁 Lounge upon them I did, though! With a vengeance.

Friendly warning: contact with the giant bean bags results in noticeable amounts of static. Use this knowledge to your advantage.

Anyways, my point is that I finally have time to goof off on giant bean bags and not feel bad about it. My last exam was biomechanics and I’d like to say that I aced it but who knows.

I’m not worrying about it, because I’ve got four academic-free months of summer! Huffah! 😀

Now to job hunt and clean my room. Yay priorities.

And here’s my new favourite song!

PS. I think I’ve pretty much kept up my end of the Blog Squad contract, so that’s all good and done now. I’m not really sure if I still count as a BlogSquadder or not, but I’m going to continue blogging into the summer (so you can sleep soundly now).

Halfway there

Posted on April 15, 2013 | 1 comment

For spring break in the seventh grade, I went on a ski trip to Kicking Horse with my family. This meant six Chans, crammed into a Toyota minivan for over eight hours. It took less than two hours for queries of “are we there yet?” to begin. And each time, my dad would quip “we’re halfway there!”.

You can see how that might drive my twelve-year-old self up the wall. ~~“but you said that half an hour ago”~~

Anecdotes aside, this post was meant to be a friendly reminder that we’re nearly halfway through exam season. If you’re lucky, you’re less than a week away from finishing! Yay!
