3 Ways to Take Study Breaks

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. GrinchAnd 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!

Everyone deserves tea

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! 🙂

I have my SLC interview tomorrow…

…and I’m super duper absolutely kind of nervous.

It’s a carousel type interview, which I’ve never heard of before but apparently they use it in a lot of university interviews (like for MUG leaders), so I suppose it must be a pretty fair process. The applicants go around to stations that include group activities and an individual interview. It’s mostly the individual interview that I’m anxious about, because I’m scared I’ll get all tongue-tied and stutter-y. 

Also, what to wear!? It seems like a more casual thing, so hopefully they won’t hold it against me if I wear nice-but-still-everyday-type clothing. Herpaderp.

I know what a sinus is

In other words, I’m sick.

But I don’t think my sinuses are clogged. Rather, I’ve just been hacking my lungs out coughing a lotAll the stress of midterms and late nights and bad eating and dealing with people  somehow got snowballed itself into a destroyer of immune systems and now I’m feeling bleh.

On the bright side, I’m done two midterms, and the long weekend is coming up! If I’m correct, this is the first ever Family Day! Yaaaaaaaaaaay.

Sun makes me hopeful

To break up the monotony of all the previous text posts, I have found some music that matches the weather! And yes, I mean the SUNNY weather 🙂

I’m hoping for good grades on my midterms, good health (I’ve been having coughing fits lately), and more good weather. What are you hoping for?

One of the most moving songs ever

Seriously, so much respect for the people who created this song. Please, take a listen.
