#finals season

[growandrecover]

From one burnt out student to another

This semester has been an absolute nightmare for me, so welcome to the resulting post where I try to help other people who are in the same boat!

How about we run through a quick list together, okay?

Unclench your jaw, relax your shoulders, relax your face, unclench your fists

Are you sitting in the shape of a C right now? *hitting you with a broom* straighten your back out!!

Maybe get up and stretch while you're at it!

Have you taken your meds today? If not, go get 'em.

Have you eaten enough today? Coffee/energy drinks are not a meal!!

What have you eaten today? Do you need to get something to snack on?

Have you had any water today?

Do you need to rest? There is NO shame in taking a nap or relaxing. If someone does shame you, send them my way

How long has it been since you moved from where you are right now? Maybe move to another room if you can.

How long has it been since you looked away from your screen? Take a little 5-10 minute break to rest your eyes :)

How long has it been since you've showered? (No shame in this one either, it's okay if you can't do it. You're not judged here.)

Do you need to get into some fresh, comfy clothes?

If the weather in your area will allow it, can you open a window or go sit outside?

Affirmations:

My grades do not define me

I am more than a grade/a gpa

I am allowed to make mistakes

I am allowed to rest

Taking breaks is necessary for my well being

This semester/school year will not last forever

It's okay to take time for myself

I do not need to be productive all the time

I am capable

I am smart

I do not need to perform to perfection all the time

My mental/physical/spiritual/emotional health is more important than school

It is okay to ask for help

Asking for help does not make me weak or less capable

Assignments should not be valued over sleep/food/self care

If you have the energy, maybe try some of these:

Reach out to a friend/family member/mutual

Change your sheets

Take your trash out

Pick stuff up off the floor if there is anything

Do your dishes/run the dishwasher

Do a load of laundry/put any clothes away

Journal

Schedule any needed doctor's/dentist's/therapy appointments

Leave your home for a little bit

Go do something you enjoy

Create something

Go for a walk

Cook your favorite meal

You are doing amazing, and I'm so proud of you. You can and will get through this. You're not alone <3

As always, please feel free to reach out or send me an ask if you need someone to talk to!

Realising a little too late that I should have posted throughout exam season to keep myself accountable... oh well, at least I'm here now! Two exams down, three to go!

quotes from exam week:

"you look good for someone who got dragged to class at 7 am"

"can I take a nap on your boobs? just a little nap?"

"TWINSIES" *clink celsius cans*

"have you tried the Beverage?" "I can hear the ominous capitalization there."

"ladies we are crying dying and whining out here"

"so I know it's 9am-" *class groans* "-but I believe in you all!" *class groans louder*

"coffee! monster! tequila! death!"

"where are your shoes" "what is this, a restaurant?"

"is it too late to seduce the ta"

*pulls a mini stapler out of bra* "REJOICE! YOUR SAVIOR IS HERE!"

"that's it I'm changing my major" "to what?" "whatever's easy" "cops?"

"shawty got that dark circle sexiness"

"after this, we PARTY!" "dude, after this, I'm taking a fucking nap"

14/100 days of productivity

Thursday, 25 of July, 2024

Finally got myself to go to the public library. I know i enjoy working there but sometimes it's really difficult to get myself to leave the house even though i know it's impossible for me to be productive in the house. So today was a well planned, well executed success.

🪐 planned out my exam prep for the accounting final

🪐 finished notes for chapter 10 of accounting

I have a make-up exam in principles of accounting at the end of the month and i need to get at least 20 points on the 40 point exam. Honestly, i think i can do it.

I missed almost five days of work because i thought my brand new laptop had crashed and took it to get checked and turns out it was some ludicrous stupid problem that didn't need any repairs and I'd wasted five days on nothing. It's good that the laptop was completely fine though, I'm grateful.

I've been keeping up with my Italian on Duolingo and I'm hoping to start actually studying it soon. Gotta learn the basics like the alphabet and the pronunciation and all that. I'm very excited.

I should be going to bed now cuz my eyes burn.

I love you. Don't be a stranger.

Arrivederci <3

and today on “oh my good lord this semester will not end” I got an email blast from my English teacher reminding the class to please remember to turn in the essays that are due on Monday and so I figured that I’m already done with mine, so I should just go ahead and turn it in. Now, I forgot exactly what I titled the document so I just turned in the first file I found that had the assignment name in it, and then realized approximately 5 seconds too late that

oh no

that was the assignment rubric

so I very quickly typed out an email to my teacher saying, “hey, my brain is totally fried right now and I may have attached the wrong file, here is the correct one,” and hoping and praying that she thinks the situation is funny and doesn’t take points off

My Kindle has been so so so helpful lately! Definitely a must for me in studying literature
