Out of all the people, it just had to be you.

You, who was just a mere matra servicing the people of Sumeru, a student who fairly did well in your first year at the Akademiya, only for your grades to plummet and barely, barely, passing enough to graduate, known for your sarcastic personality and your tendency to have abrupt outbursts, caught the attention of the Grand Scribe. Yes, you heard it right. Alhaitham likes you. Loves you.

Pause. How would you know? Let's run it back.

It was just another day doing your job, roaming around Sumeru City and keeping track of shady researchers here and there, then doing the occasional paperwork back at your office. Truthfully, it was boring. But since you graduated on unpleasant terms, with grades holding onto a thin thread, the Matra was the only work you could only apply to. If it wasn't the Matra, then you could've been working as a simple server at a restaurant or something. You've devoted your life to the path of knowledge and research, not ringing up orders in a café.

The sun was setting by the time you reached the House of Daena, the last stop for your daily patrols. There were only a few stragglers left in the spacious library, the lights dim, but bright enough to let people see and read. Only your footsteps can be heard through the massive shelves, doing the library a favor by rearranging the books and returning them to their proper shelves by category. The library has always been one of your favorite places throughout the entirety of Sumeru. It holds ancient information from all across Teyvat, despite books being the least sought resource these days.

But if there was one thing you hate about the House of Daena, it would be a certain someone who frequents the library and spends hours just roaming around, hiding behind shelves and reading in the most secluded spots. He just ruins the beautiful visage of the library with his unwanted presence and infuriating face.

People who know of the Grand Scribe, Alhaitham, would often complain about how he's so hard to find. That they'd have to ask around, only to be hit with dead ends since not a lot of people knew he exists. Well, you think they're just not looking hard enough. You see him everywhere! And you knew how much he disliked being outside and how he favored being inside isolated places, but somehow, you'd spot him here and there wherever you went. From the Grand Bazaar, where he's buying groceries, to Puspa Café, where he's eating lunch with his roommate, Kaveh (who would suspiciously spare you many glances while you take your order)— seriously, it's eerie to see him so much.

Or perhaps your deep hatred for him was so engraved in your brain that it made it easy for you to discern him in the midst of a crowd. But you refuse that fact and chose to believe that it was the gods punishing you for whatever you've done with his mere existence.

Only a select few have heard about him, and they would only give comments about his displeasing bluntness, but then praise him for his academic prowess. And unfortunately, you were one of them, graduating in the same batch as Alhaitham's and sharing most of your classes, though only seeing him briefly since he preferred to 'self-study'. So a lot of students who wanted to squeeze a few words from Alhaitham would come to you, asking for the scribe's location. You would roll your eyes, and shake your head but comply without any complaints, for it is your job to service the citizens of Sumeru, including the growing minds of the Akademiya.

And you absolutely abhor the fact that you'd always be right where he would be at every time of the day, as well as correctly assuming what he'd be doing at that place at that time. Reading, eating, doing paperwork— what the hell were you!? You're not his significant other, how the fuck do you know these things!? It's useful sometimes, yes, there are times when your boss would require your assistance in finding him for whatever he needed with the scribe, or you wanting to avoid him at all costs so you'd keep a mental note to not even step foot near where he'd be located at, you swear you could hear students whispering behind your back about a 'secret relationship' with him.

Absolutely not! Anyone who gets caught by your wrathful watch, spreading baseless rumors would get the scolding of their lives. Unfortunately, you can't arrest people with just rumors. That's just not a big offense.

Oh how much you loathed him, your jaw tensing immediately and your brows furrowed as soon as you saw him, sitting at his usual spot, piles of books on the table. Hearing your slow approach, eyeing the multitude of books on his table, he let you take what you could into your arms and begin your trek on returning them to their respective shelves. It was routine at this point. Alhaitham knew you dislike big piles of messes in places where messes shouldn't exist, and yet here he is, carelessly placing books wherever he could. So he made a habit of separating books he's finished reading, and books he's yet to read, so you could start putting them back right before you've made your way to the House of Daena, the last stop of your patrols.

Not a single word was exchanged between you, only a few glances at one another. At times like these, you wished you knew what was going through his head. Was he making fun of you inside his mind? Thinking of your past failures? Scheming something to simply ruin your day? The possibilities were incredibly endless, and it honestly gets under your skin how he could maintain such a neutral face when he could have the worst possible thoughts ever.

That night, you made an unconscious wish to the stars above; I wish I could read minds. You thought exasperatedly, observing Alhaitham in your peripheral vision, shuddering a little when you spot a small smile on his lips when he glances at you once more. Just so I could know if he's up to no good.

The next day, you awoke with a killer headache. It was so painful that you doubled over and fell off the comfort of your bed, groaning at the aching pains whilst you tried to blink away the sleepiness that clung to your eyes. Pressing on and getting on with your morning routine, putting on your uniform, and walking outside of your house, only to be fully awoken by a myriad of voices suddenly surging into your mind, shrieking and falling to your knees at the intense volumes, catching the attention of the people passing by your home.

Well, it just so happened that you acquired a rather special (not) ability from the gods! The power of telepathy! You'd think that having telepathy can increase your capabilities to be able to arrest more criminals since now you've got the capacity to read minds. While that is true, you've suspiciously become a much better detective for the past few days and it even caught the attention of General Mahatamra, who commended you for your exemplary performance, the cons of having telepathy completely overshadowed the pros. Going outside of your own home gives you endless headaches, hearing so many voices speaking over one another inside your head; louder and louder! It's so damn painful that you just want to squeeze your eyes shut, but you couldn't really do that since being a Matra literally requires you to be alert at all times.

Though the voices were merely hushed whispers of thoughts that were supposed to be unheard by everyone, secrets kept to themselves, whenever your eyes stare into a person's face for even a mere second, you would immediately intrude into one's thoughts and know every single thing they'd think in that moment, as well as past thoughts and memories if ever the person thought about it while you were peeking. So your 'exemplary performance' quickly dropped as the days went by, trying (and failing) to adapt to your newly attained power. It was hard to do your job while hearing so many voices while you did your patrols. You even started bringing a blindfold to help soothe your headache and gain a short moment of silence.

This brings us to your sudden revelations of Alhaitham ever since you've gained telepathy.

Heaving a heavy sigh, you held a stack of books in your arms, struggling a little due to its weight. You were to return the books to the House of Daena, seeing them being left in random places around the Akademiya, and the dates on the return cards were way overdue. Seriously, whoever left these out in the open, without care nor consideration to the library they borrowed them from will never hear the end of you once you get your hands on them. Just because hardback books were now considered not much of use now due to the Akasha System, it's still filled with valuable knowledge and information; a vast sea of resources that can be used for research! Relying on such a convenient device too much would just lose the integrity of pursuing wisdom! Sadly, not a lot share your views, nor even want to respect your opinion, so they would shun you for even mentioning it.

A small groan slipped from your lips as your arms and lower back began to ache, slightly wobbling your way to the House of Daena. The headache that refused to give you any relief never left you, only dissipating for brief moments before returning once you've stepped into an area where there was a person in your sight. Yeah, you were not fond of your telepathy. For some reason, the library was bustling with students tonight, even when the sun was beginning to set. Was it exam week already? Archons, your skull was practically rattling at the hundreds of whispers as you picked up your pace, attempting to avoid the many faces ahead of you. And as if your day couldn't get any worse, you bumped into him.

"You shouldn't be carrying all those by yourself."

As soon as his voice reached your ears, your eye twitched, refusing to even spare him a glimpse, and walked right past him, hoping that he'd just leave you alone for today. Of course, you'd happen to cross paths with the scribe, after all, he spends an awful lot of his time in the library, reading away. Honestly, the most you see of him is during his free time. Is he always that free? How come it seemed like he absolutely does nothing? It just makes your blood boil even further. But you could hear his footsteps trailing behind you, following you on your way to the House of Daena. Irritated, you huffed through your nose. "Leave me alone."

"You look like you could use some help," Alhaitham commented, eyeing the tall stack of thick books in your arms, a slight frown that you didn't notice tugging at his lips. You missed the way he put away the book he was reading back into his belt pouch and instead went closer to you, oblivious to the concern written all over his face. "You look like you're about to topple over."

A scoff was all you could muster as you scowled at his words, stopping in your tracks and turning to shoot him a glare, the grip on the books in your arms tightening so hard that your hands began to tremble, becoming further difficult for you to hold. Him, offering help? As if! If you didn't know better, he must've been thinking of some scheme inside his head, in the guise of trying to simply lend you a hand. You aren't weak. Not at all. Sure, the headache was unbearable, but you aren't completely helpless to it. Without further hesitation, your eyes bore into him, invading his most private thoughts.

"They look awfully tired. More than usual."

That caught you off guard so bad that shock overtook your features, and the anger that was always so prominent on your face vanished so fast that even Alhaitham was startled, only to blink and see your ever-so-furious expression back. Seeing him shake his head, he glanced back at the books, and back to your face, an unreadable look in his eyes. You... expected something else, honestly. The tone of his voice was gentle, laced with... worry? Wait, was that genuine?

"But they still look nice." A pause and you held your breath. "I guess I've grown fond of it ever since those bags under their eyes became more apparent during our days at the Akademiya. It completes their look." Then you noticed it. The subtle shift of his eyes, holding a sense of affection as he stares back at your glare, with hints of slight amusement at your temperament.

You almost dropped the stack of books you held in your arms, but Alhaitham caught them just in time, taking half of the stack with ease. Glancing at you for your reaction, you could tell that he was expecting you to shout at him, for getting mad at pitying you but you stayed quiet, weirdly staring at his face. Deep inside, you indeed did want to scream at him, growing envious at how he was carrying those heavy books like it was nothing, while you struggled to make your way to the House of Daena holding all of them. But you bit back your tongue, only giving him a curt nod of acknowledgement before turning your back on him once again, and rushing to the damn library. You realized he never had bad intentions in the first place, only approaching you due to honest consideration towards you.

Truly, you can't blame him for actually getting worried. You looked absolutely horrible, and your headaches were making it difficult to sleep through the pain. No matter how much pain reliever you take, it doesn't work. Staying at home for long periods of time would probably help, but you were not going to ask your boss for a leave without a proper reason.

Instead of insulting you, just as you suspected, he was complimenting you, reminiscing how you looked when you were both younger. Flashes of images of yourself halfway through your years studying at the Akademiya filled your head when you peered into the deep crevices of his mind, you and your silly student beret, growing bags under your eyes and messy hair.

That image left a bitter taste in your mouth as it has undesirable memories attached to it, though you were more curious as to why Alhaitham could vividly remember how you looked back then. The image even projected you holding a book you usually had with you, a book that you still had on your own shelves of books at your home.

Finally, you've found a better use for your telepathy: Figuring out Alhaitham.

For the next few days, you've been with Alhaitham a lot more than usual. At first, the thought of being with him and conversing with him made you shudder, but you convinced yourself it would be worth it if it meant finding out what really goes through the arrogant scribe's head, and using it against him to get back at him after all those miserable years.

You wore different clothing, and accessories, cut your hair, and many more, and he would notice right away. "It looks nice on them and matches their eyes.", "It fits well with their physique.", "Oh, they look stunning.", "They got their nails painted. It's their favorite color." "That necklace... I think I can buy matching earrings...", or anything along those lines. It was truly startling to hear all of those coming from his mind whilst he had a blank face, but now that you could hear his thoughts, you're suddenly hyperaware of everything he does. From his closeness, the lingering gazes, and the rather fondness of his smile when his lips curve up, watching you scold a student breaking the rules in the middle of your walk towards the House of Daena.

Alhaitham was also very confused at your sudden increase in interactions for the past few days, but he was visibly pleased with it.

His thoughts were nothing but pure. Nothing dirty, nor any stains of malice. It was either him pondering what he'd do after he's finished with his responsibilities as the scribe, admiring you, or nothing at all. He was that simple. His mind was like a minimalistic room, bare and plain, but organized. A total reflection of who Alhaitham really was. Sure, he'd have speculations in his mind here and there, his thoughts churning and ticking like gears that were all connected and functioning flawlessly whenever he's approached with a problem, but everything else was very clean.

In other words; you were completely wrong about him. Whenever he speaks to a person, and would bluntly say something about them, it was just that. The honest truth, his general views, and beliefs. Cutting to the chase because he thinks that adding unnecessary words would hinder true progress, so he speaks his truth, and his truth only.

This completely shattered your view of him. Not once he had thought anything bad about you, just undoubtedly in love with you. Of course, it was such a difficult thing for you to process. You've hated Alhaitham for as long as you could remember, after what happened that day, he was the leading cause of your downfall. Can you really let it slide now you know one of his biggest weaknesses?

Mind in shambles (and still aching with grievous pain), you had to consult with one of your closest friends.

"So, let me summarize. You wished to have the ability to read minds for the sole reason to figure out what's going through Alhaitham's head, only for it to be granted the next day, which is why you look like you haven't slept in centuries. And now you found out that Alhaitham is just some guy who acts mysterious so people would leave him alone and that he's in love with you?"

Taking a sip from your tea, you nodded. "Yup," You saw Tighnari's ears twitch at your nonchalant response, brows furrowing with concern as he leaned towards you from across the table, pressing the back of his ungloved hand on your forehead. "Are you feeling okay? You know, not enough sleep would cause you to hallucinate—" Tighnari says, and you almost choke on your tea as he continues to speak, "Did you eat any suspicious-looking mushrooms on your way here?"

The faint smell of various flora wafted into your nose, your tense shoulders relaxing. It was very comfortable inside Tighnari's office. Homey and littered with organized messes all across the room. A basket filled with flora and mushrooms was on the table, an open book of records where Tighnari was recently writing, only to be left forgotten by your absurd words.

"Tighnari," Your stern tone made the fox pause, his eyes now focused on you as you pinch the bridge of his nose, a sigh leaving your lips. "I'm telling the truth. I can read minds just by looking at people." Tighnari's skepticism was reasonable, it's not every day you hear that one of your friends suddenly gained the ability to read minds due to their deep hatred of someone, so you'll just have to prove it to him. Disregarding the incredulous look on his face, you crossed your arms with a smug smirk on your lips.

A faint ringing noise crosses your mind as you read Tighnari's thoughts. "You were going to ask me to buy you some ingredients because you wanted to cook Cyno's favorite dish for tonight's dinner but you're missing some—"

Tighanri's ears flattened as his face was quick to flush, glaring at you as he swatted at your smug expression, soliciting a chuckle from you. "Okay, okay! You can read minds!" He huffed, shaking his head and hiding his reddening cheeks from you, glancing at the small list he had already pre-written and was about to give to you before you left. "How in Celestia did you manage to get that kind of power?" He frowned, grabbing his cup of tea and taking a long lip with a contemplative look on his face. You merely shrugged your chin on your palm.

"I'm stumped, I've been reading tirelessly about mind reading, even looking into the Akasha System for any clues, but I've got nothing to explain such a bizarre phenomenon." You grunted, obviously displeased at the results of your research, but gladly accepting the cookie Tighnari has offered to you.

"It's not as good as people make it in novels," A groan left you, rubbing your forehead to ease the pain. The tea Tighnari had prepared you helped a little bit, and being in his office, you were experiencing a rare moment of serenity. "At least I know what Alhaitham's thinking now. Makes it easier to get along with him, but doesn't make him less annoying though."

But Tighnari felt that something didn't feel right about you today. There was a mischievous glint in your eyes whenever you were lost in thought, a smirk on your lips that would instantly disappear once you remember you were not alone. Tighnari trusted his instincts and his instincts told him that you were up to no good.

With a soft tone of his voice, he called out your name, snapping you out of your thoughts. "Whatever you're planning, don't try." He warns, putting up a face you're rather familiar with. A face he always has whenever he's about to scold a reckless adventurer who ended up eating a poisonous mushroom in the forest. "You'll just end up hurting yourself even more in the end."

In the depths of your heart, you knew that Tighnari was correct. After all, as one of your friends, he only wants the best for you. And after discovering that Alhaitham wasn't some prick who thrives at other's struggles, it really made you hesitate on what you were planning to do. But at the back of your head, something dark festered throughout your mind, the anger you held slowly engulfing your thoughts completely. Your hatred towards Alhaitham was truly greater than anything you've felt.

Not taking his warning seriously, you rolled your eyes. "To be fair, he ruined my life." You defended yourself, narrowing your eyes at Tighnari, who could only frown at your statement. It was a grudge you could never let go of, a sore spot that you desperately wanted gone by getting back at Alhaitham in any way possible. And now you've been given an opportunity, surely, you'll never let it go, right? "Besides, if I did end up hurting Alhaitham, it wouldn't be that bad. He can find another love after he moved on from me, he's good-looking enough to get anyone he could ever want."

Your plans were simple enough. Play with his feelings, break his heart and finally gain the satisfaction you've been starved of for years. While it was truly malicious, you couldn't care less. You wanted to rid of that stone-cold visage of his and be replaced with something else. Would he even feel heartbroken once you reveal that you truly didn't love him back? Or would he just walk it off? Nevertheless, you just wanted to have a bit of entertainment for a little while. What's the harm in that?

Tighnari, who was very troubled by your decision, couldn't help but feel like something horribly bad was bound to unfold in the near future. He knew he should've tried harder to discourage your intentions towards Alhaitham, but there was no changing your mind at that point.

He just hopes it won't crash and burn in flames.

🎯 Short tutorial on how to "Set Goals"

1. Identify the areas in your life where you want to set goals. Examples: career, relationships, health, personal growth, etc.

2. Create SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For example, "I want to lose 10 pounds in the next 3 months by exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet."

3. Write down your goals and keep them somewhere visible, such as on a bulletin board or in a planner. This will help to remind you of them regularly and keep you on track.

4. Break your goals down into smaller, more manageable tasks. For example, if your goal is to lose 10 pounds in 3 months, break it down into weekly or even daily actions, such as "I will go for a 30-minute walk every day" or "I will eat a salad for lunch every day."

5. Create a timeline for achieving your goals. This can help you to stay organized and prioritize your tasks. For example, you might create a weekly or monthly schedule to track your progress.

6. Identify any potential obstacles or challenges that could prevent you from achieving your goals, and come up with a plan to overcome them. For example, if you know that you tend to get distracted easily, you might set aside a specific time each day to focus on your goals without interruptions.

7. Seek support and accountability. This can be from friends, family, a coach, or even a support group. Having someone to talk to and share your progress with can help to keep you motivated and on track.

8. Celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how small. This will help to keep you motivated and reinforce the positive habits that are helping you to achieve your goals.

9. Review and adjust your goals regularly. As you make progress, you may find that your goals have changed or that you need to adjust your plan in order to stay on track. This is normal and can be a good opportunity to reassess and make any necessary changes.

10. Stay flexible and open to new opportunities. While it's important to have a plan and stick to it, be open to new ideas and opportunities that may come your way. These can often lead to new growth and development.

Keep trying and don't give up. Achieving goals can be challenging, and you may face setbacks along the way. But if you stay committed and persistent, you will eventually achieve your goals.

Conquering Chaos: A Student's Guide to a Smooth Back-to- School Transition

The carefree days of summer are drawing to a close, and the whispers of "back to school" can send shivers down even the most enthusiastic student's spine. The transition from lazy mornings and beach trips to early wake-up calls and packed schedules can feel overwhelming. But fear not, fellow scholars! With a little planning and some helpful tips, you can transform back-to-school from a dreaded event into a smooth and successful transition.

Banish the Back-to-School Blues: Embracing a Positive Mindset

Let's face it, the anticipation of a new school year can be accompanied by a case of the back-to-school blues. Missing the freedom of summer and the looming pressure of academics can create anxiety and negativity. However, a positive mindset is key to conquering the chaos.

Focus on the Fun: Remember, school is not just about textbooks and tests. It's a place to learn new things, make friends, and explore your interests. Look forward to reconnecting with classmates, participating in extracurricular activities, and the excitement of a new academic year.

Set Goals: Having goals for the school year can boost motivation and give you a sense of purpose. These goals could be academic, like mastering a particular subject, or personal, like developing a new skill or joining a club.

Visualize Success: Take a few minutes each day to visualize yourself succeeding in school. Imagine yourself acing that math test, delivering a stellar presentation, or making a new friend. Positive visualization can help program your brain for success.

By adopting a positive and growth-oriented mindset, you'll approach the school year with a sense of excitement and readiness to learn.

Gear Up for Success: Essential Supplies and Organization Hacks

Preparation is key to a smooth back-to-school transition. Here's how to ensure you're organized and equipped for the academic year:

Gather Your Supplies: Review your school supply list and make a shopping trip to stock up on notebooks, pens, pencils, binders, and other essentials. Getting organized with colorful folders and highlighters can make learning more fun and visually engaging.

Organize Your Backpack: Avoid the black hole effect! Invest in backpack organizers or compartments to separate notebooks, folders, and loose papers. This will save you precious time searching for that missing worksheet during class.

Create a Study Space: Designate a specific area in your room as your study space. This area should be clutter-free, well-lit, and conducive to focused work. Consider adding a comfortable chair, a desk organizer, and a bulletin board to keep important information within easy reach.

Essential oils, like lavender for promoting calmness or peppermint for boosting focus, can be diffused in your study space to create a refreshing and stimulating environment. Don’t forget to check How Do Essential Oils Aid in Maintaining Focus and Calm for Students?

By being organized and prepared, you'll feel confident and ready to tackle any academic challenge.

Revive Your Routine: Sleep, Schedules, and Healthy Habits

After a summer of relaxed schedules, adjusting back to a structured school routine can be challenging. Here are some tips to help you smoothly transition:

Establish a Sleep Schedule: A consistent sleep schedule is crucial for optimal brain function, focus, and memory. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night, and try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends. You can try Essential Oils - Perfect Solution for Good Sleep

Create a Daily Schedule: Develop a daily schedule that incorporates school time, homework periods, extracurricular activities, mealtimes, and relaxation time. This will help you manage your time effectively and avoid procrastination. 

Embrace Healthy Habits: Fuel your brain and body with nutritious food. Pack healthy lunches filled with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Stay hydrated throughout the day by carrying a reusable water bottle and sipping on water regularly.

Getting adequate sleep, maintaining a consistent schedule, and prioritizing healthy habits will set you up for success in the classroom and beyond.

Prepare for the Plunge: Academic Refreshers and Getting Ahead

The start of a new school year often involves revisiting concepts from the previous year. Here are some ways to ease back into the academic grind:

Review Key Concepts: Spend some time reviewing key concepts from the previous year's courses. Textbooks, class notes, and online resources can be helpful for refreshing your memory.

Practice Makes Perfect: For subjects like math or foreign languages, it's beneficial to complete practice problems or review basic grammar rules. This will help you solidify your foundation and avoid feeling overwhelmed when new material is introduced.

Start Early (Optional): If you're feeling particularly ambitious, you could even preview upcoming coursework by skimming textbooks or researching topics online. This can give you a head start and make the transition to new material smoother.

Remember, the goal isn't to become an expert before school even starts; it's simply to jog your memory and boost your confidence.

Connect and Conquer: Building Strong Relationships with Teachers and Peers

A strong support system is essential for a successful school year. Here's how to cultivate positive relationships with teachers and classmates:

Introduce Yourself: If you have new teachers, take a moment to introduce yourself during the first few days of class. Make eye contact, smile, and express your interest in learning the subject matter.

Participate Actively: Engage in class discussions, ask questions, and actively participate in classroom activities. This demonstrates your interest and helps you connect with the material and your teacher.

Be a Good Teammate: Respect your classmates, collaborate effectively on group projects, and offer help when needed. Building positive relationships with your peers can create a supportive learning environment.

Seek Help When Needed: Don't be afraid to ask for help from teachers or classmates if you're struggling with a concept. Most teachers are happy to provide extra support during office hours or after school.

By establishing positive relationships with teachers and peers, you'll create a network of support that can enhance your academic performance and make school a more enjoyable experience.

A Final Word: Embrace the Journey

Back-to- school season can be a whirlwind of activity and adjustment. But remember, it's also a time for growth, learning, and new experiences. Embrace the journey, stay organized, prioritize your well-being, and don't be afraid to ask for help. With the right mindset and a few helpful tips, you can transform back-to-school from a source of stress into an exciting launchpad for a successful and fulfilling academic year.

Bonus Tip: Consider surprising your classmates with small back-to-school gifts to foster friendship and spread some cheer. These gifts could be fun and functional, like personalized notebooks, cute pencil cases, or stress balls.

So, grab your backpack, gather your supplies, and get ready to conquer the new school year!

Enhancing Academic Performance

Reducing Distractions: A positive social environment minimizes disruptions and conflicts, allowing students to concentrate more effectively on their studies.

Sense of Belonging: Strong relationships with classmates and teachers foster a sense of belonging, motivating students to attend school regularly and engage enthusiastically in their learning.

Encouraging Positive Reinforcement

Recognizing Positive Actions: Acknowledging and praising instances of positive social behavior reinforces these actions and encourages other students to emulate them.

Motivating Others: Publicly recognizing a student for their helpfulness can inspire peers to engage in similar acts of kindness.

Ways to Promote Positive Social Behavior

Encouraging Acts of Kindness

Early Education: Educate students about kindness and consideration through structured activities that emphasize sharing, cooperation, and mutual support.

Group Projects: Organize collaborative projects that require teamwork and mutual assistance, encouraging students to practice and appreciate positive social behaviors from a young age.

Creating Visual Reminders of Empathy

Storytelling: Encourage students to write about their experiences of helping others, reflecting on how these actions promote positive social behaviors within the classroom community.

Building One-on-One Connections

Personal Engagement: Develop personal connections with students by demonstrating genuine interest and understanding of their individual needs and concerns.

Daily Check-ins: Start each day with a brief personal check-in with students, asking about their well-being and providing opportunities for them to share any concerns they may have.

Using Empathetic Language

Modeling Empathy: Model the use of empathetic language during classroom interactions to demonstrate understanding and support.

Encouraging Expression: Encourage students to articulate their feelings and perspectives while respecting those of others, fostering a classroom environment where empathy is valued and practiced.

Teaching Self-Empathy

Self-Compassion Development: Help students cultivate self-compassion by teaching them strategies for self-care and positive self-talk.

Mindfulness Practices: Integrate mindfulness activities into daily routines to encourage students to reflect on their emotions and thoughts, promoting emotional resilience and self-awareness.

Conclusion

Promoting positive social behavior in the classroom is essential for creating a nurturing and effective learning environment. By fostering empathy, kindness, gratitude, and self-compassion, educators equip students with the social skills necessary for both academic success and personal development. Recognizing and reinforcing positive behaviors ensures that students feel valued and motivated to contribute positively to the classroom culture, thereby fostering a supportive community where every student can thrive.

How Nature Inspires Me

I think that the coolest thing about nature is that it improves our mental health and ability. Spending time in nature can improve memory, attention, concentration, impulse inhibition, and mood (Bratman et al., 2012). In children and teenagers specifically, nature can improve self-esteem, stress, resilience, depression, and quality of life too (Tillmann et al., 2018). I find that this idea of nature improving mental health translates really frequently to my own life. Any time I am outside, especially when the weather is nice, I almost instantly feel way better and more energized. I have recently started taking a bit of a longer route on my way to the bus stop in the morning because I get to walk through the park along a river instead of next to a busy street and plaza. I find that just this small amount of time in nature at the start of my day has an overwhelmingly positive effect on my mood and motivation for the rest of the day. I think it is incredibly cool that a 5-minute walk through a park once a day, as part of my normal commute, can have such positive effects for me.

One of my favourite aspects of how nature can boost my mental health is by providing me with a sense of inspiration. Whenever I feel like I am out of ideas for creating art or music, I look for the first opportunity I have to get outside and go for a walk through a local trail. During the spring, I love getting excited over seeing all the leaves starting to emerge, and the first signs of green grass or warmer weather. The spring tends to instil me with a sense of anticipation that makes me feel excited for the upcoming summer and inspires me to start thinking of what types of music I want to write once the semester ends, or what sorts of art I want to draw once it gets warm enough to sit and draw outside. Once the summer and warm weather hits, I generally spend the most amount of time out in nature. Everything in the summer seems so vibrant and alive, and it encourages me to go for long walks or sit in the sun and enjoy the weather and the sense of wellbeing I feel from nature in the summer. This feeling inspires me to want to create as much as I can and fills me with the energy to do that. I find that the summer is generally my most creatively productive time, and most of that is directly fueled by having the opportunity to be in and appreciate nature.

A tree frog enjoying the vibrancy of summer with me.

Once autumn starts, I generally begin slowing down, but I usually get more of a sense of urgency from seeing the weather start to change and the natural landscape start to morph into winter. I still love heading outside during autumn because the new colours of the trees, the abundance of cool mushrooms to find, and the general feeling of nature are really cozy and calming, despite the urgent feeling of constantly needing to be outdoors. Autumn tends to inspire some of my weirder but more relaxed music, and some of my coolest nature-inspired art. While I don’t get outside as much in the winter, I find that when I do, I always feel really fulfilled afterwards and my motivation for the rest of the week is significantly improved. The cold and darkness of winter can be brightened by the stark white snow and incredible views of winter hikes, and the positive feelings imbued by nature can shine even when the sun is barely out.

Hate influencer Chaya Raichik rages at Disney & Kleenex for celebrating Pride eight months ago

Right-wing extremist Chaya Raichik is outraged that Disney and Kleenex partnered to celebrate Thailand’s Pride. Only she’s a little slow on the uptake this time. Thailand Pride took place back in June 2023, a full eight months before Raichik decided to share her disdain on her Libs of Tik Tok social media account. Earlier this month, Raichik posted photos of the rainbow Disney logo emblazoned on Kleenex packages and complained, “You can’t even blow your nose without having LGBTQ propaganda shoved in your face.” Related: “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!” trolls Ron DeSantis by offering free banned books to Floridians “Looking for a good book? Try one some Florida students aren’t allowed to read.” “Imagine being so oppressed and marginalized that you get your own special tissues dedicated to you!” Raichik ranted. Stay connected to your community Connect with the issues and events that impact your community at home and beyond by subscribing to our daily newsletter. Disney partnered with Kleenex to go all in on LGBTQ propaganda. @Kleenex designed special LGBTQ pride tissue packaging with @Disney themed designs. You can’t even blow your nose without having LGBTQ propaganda shoved in your face. Imagine being so oppressed and marginalized… pic.twitter.com/FHOOhMOxqf— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) February 4, 2024 A few weeks later, another conservative outlet expressed their anger at the long-finished partnership. The conservative Independent Journal Bulletin used Raichik’s post as a launching pad to express its own anger over the Pride tissues. “Satan wants evil to be normalized, and this agenda is evil,” the article declared. It also blasted Disney for seeming “to constantly believe it needs to be involved with the LGBT crowd.” Raichik’s anger is far from limited to massive corporations. She regularly makes untrue and inflammatory claims against the LGBTQ+ community, and her posts have been linked to bomb threats at schools and hospitals across the country. A recent NBC News piece identified 21 instances since November 2020 in which schools or other institutions called out by Libs of TikTok for pushing “woke” ideology subsequently endured bomb threats. An additional 12 institutions targeted by Raichik experienced other forms of what Ingram refers to as “violent intimidation.” Other reports have found an even greater number of connections between the places Raichik posts about and the threats that follow. Media Matters documented 33 instances of threats and harassment directed at 25 different institutions after Libs of TikTok targeted them between February 2022 and October 2023.  Raichik has claimed that she is merely sharing information and can’t control how her social media followers respond to her posts. However, her account regularly echoes right-wing claims of LGBTQ+ people and allies “indoctrinating,” ”grooming,” and “sexualizing” kids — rhetoric that leads to violence against queer people and their allies. Her bio on X once proudly touted her being labeled as a “stochastic terrorist,” a person who uses mass media to provoke random acts of ideologically motivated violence. http://dlvr.it/T3DZgg

Unleashing the Power Within: A Guide to Finding and Sustaining Motivation

Motivation is the driving force that propels us toward our goals and aspirations. Whether it's tackling a challenging project, adopting a healthier lifestyle, or pursuing personal growth, motivation is the key ingredient that fuels our journey. However, finding and sustaining motivation can be a complex process, and many individuals struggle with it. In this blog, we'll explore practical strategies and tips to help you unlock and maintain your inner motivation.

1. Set Clear Goals

Define your objectives clearly. Ambiguous goals can lead to confusion and a lack of motivation. Break down larger goals into smaller, achievable tasks, creating a roadmap that guides you toward success. This not only makes the process more manageable but also provides a sense of accomplishment with each small milestone.

2. Find Your Why

Understanding the underlying reasons behind your goals is crucial for sustained motivation. Reflect on the deeper meaning and personal significance of your objectives. Connecting with your purpose reinforces your commitment and provides a powerful source of inspiration during challenging times.

3. Create a Vision Board

Visualizing your goals can be a potent motivator. Consider creating a vision board with images, quotes, and representations of your aspirations. Place it somewhere visible, serving as a daily reminder of what you're working towards. Visualization can strengthen your commitment and make your goals feel more attainable.

You can create a vision board by printing out photos or pictures and pinning them to a cork board like the one linked below.

4. Develop a Routine

Establishing a daily routine provides structure and helps create positive habits. Consistency is key when it comes to motivation. By incorporating your tasks into a regular schedule, they become ingrained in your daily life, reducing the likelihood of procrastination.

5. Break Tasks into Manageable Steps

Large tasks can be overwhelming, leading to procrastination. Break them down into smaller, more manageable steps. Focusing on one step at a time not only makes the process less daunting but also allows you to celebrate achievements along the way.

6. Surround Yourself with Positivity

Negative influences can drain your motivation. Surround yourself with positive people, inspirational content, and environments that foster growth. Engage in conversations that uplift and encourage you. A positive support system can significantly impact your motivation levels.

7. Celebrate Progress

Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small. Recognizing progress boosts confidence and reinforces your commitment to your goals. Consider keeping a journal to track your accomplishments and reflect on the positive changes you've made.

8. Stay Flexible
