bad study habits to leave in 2017

cramming the night before. do a little every day and get a good night sleep before the test

procrastinating. promise yourself you’ll do 5 minutes of a task you’ve been putting off for a while. you’ll be surprised how quickly that 5 minutes turns into 10 and 10 into an hour and before you know it you’ll be done and able to enjoy guilt-free leisure time

not asking for help. make the most of your teachers and classmates who want you to succeed. don’t suffer in silence

saying yes to everything. it’s important to try new things but it’s also important to have enough spare time to see your friends and get enough sleep

being distracted. turn off the tv. turn off your phone. focus on studying so you can get your assignments done as efficiently as possible so you can enjoy your free time

not having a planner. this doesn’t have to be a beautiful bullet journal. just make sure you have a way of keeping on top of everything you have to do so you don’t get overwhelmed whether that’s in a store-bought diary or in you phone’s calendar

eating (too much) junk. fuel your body and your mind with fruit and veg. if you’re at university try cooking in bulk to keep costs down. you’ll be able to concentrate better if you’re eating well

not taking breaks. your brain needs to take breaks, even if you have a big test coming up. for every hour you spend studying take a 10 minute break and stretch/make a snack/take a shower/call a friend 

not rewarding yourself. take time to be proud of everything you’ve achieved so far. enjoy the success you’ve worked so hard for

You know you’re a nerd when you use studying a more interesting subject as a study break :P

Gotta love when you’re up at four in the morning working on homework due the next day with your roommate and start experimenting with 5-hour energy shots. It sure makes homework a lot more fun!

I feel like the state of my room is a pretty good indicator of my mental state and how much my life is falling apart.

Your mental illness is lying to you.

You are not stupid. You are not ugly. You are not worthless. You are not weak. You are not a burden. Your mental illness is lying to you.

When we choose to love people the way Jesus loves people, the world will change. Don’t treat others the way they treat you; treat others the way God treats you. Embrace the love of Jesus in your own life, and then model the example of Jesus in your relationships. Jesus changed the world with love, and he wants you and me to continue in this. He wants to give you a new heart and a new life.

Okay, I’m just going to say this because apparently no one else gets it…

I am pro-life, but SHUTTING DOWN ABORTION CLINICS IS NOT THE ANSWER!!!

Don’t misunderstand me. I HATE abortion. I very much believe that it’s taking a human life and therefore murder. But let’s be honest… You can’t get rid of abortion. You can’t. If you shut down abortion clinics people are going to find other ways. Illegal, dangerous ways. Look at what happened during prohibition. It created an underground crime ring. People were still getting their alcohol. It would be the same thing with abortion. People are desperate. They’ll do whatever they have to do.

On that note, protesting outside of Planned Parenthood and shaming women for getting an abortion doesn’t change anything. It just makes you look like a douchebag. Nobody has ever thought to themselves “That random screaming stranger just called me a disgusting murderer. Maybe I should rethink this decision.” It’s not going to happen. Stop. Yes, I am pro-life. I would LOVE to see abortion go away. But it’s not going to. Instead of fighting against abortion the pro-life movement really needs to start focusing more on education, supporting pregnant women, fighting for better health care for women, fighting to fix the adoption process, and fighting to give better lives to unwanted children.

Every struggle in your life has shaped you into the person you are today. Be thankful for the hard times; they can only make you stronger.
