Tumblr media
the black digital clock sitting primly on your desk blares a red 2:06 in the purply glow of your dorm room, as if taunting you. or maybe it was 2:09…? it seemed as if the red numbers shifted and flipped magically in front as you blinked back sleep from your eyes. you can feel your movements becoming sluggish as you sift through the mountains of paper that flow everywhere across your desk.
just one more paper- one more assignment, you promise yourself.
your final was in less than a week, and unfortunately, even with your attempts at the beginning of the semester to have a good work ethic, you had ultimately procrastinated until the last second to study. your grade wasn’t looking so well, and you had to get at least a 80% on the exam to pass the class. so, as a last resort, you had been pulling all nighters to cram everything you needed to study into your overworked brain. even worse, your ridiculous professor was known to be very picky on tests, and often tested on every last detail that was described in your textbooks. how the hell were you supposed to remember what the author wrote on page 763, paragraph 5?
while you work your ass off, your boyfriend, alex, tangles himself into your duvet, like he always does, when you’re studying late. you can see how the glow of his phone lights up his handsome face and the tips of his messy bleached hair as he scrolls through tiktok (you can tell by the tinny voice of content creators and the tell-tale tunes of viral songs). the forest green hoodie that you always love to steal cloaks his body, and he chews absentmindedly on one of the hoodie strings. one leg of his gray sweatpants has ridden up over his calf, and one of his white ankle socks is missing from his foot.
it was weird. even though he was a mechanical engineer major, one of the hardest majors on the campus, he seemed to breeze through school. never have you actually seen him make a single flashcard for his tests, and you were pretty sure his engineering textbook was collecting dust underneath his bed back at his dorm. alex always seemed to be lazing around and scrolling through social media, and slept through all his lectures, but still managed to get 100% on every test and quiz (much to your envy).
somehow, alex senses your gaze and looks over at you, head tilted just the slightest at the sight at your exhausted figure in the plush rolly chair at your desk.
“maybe…it’s time for a break,” he suggests, opening his rather long arms for you to crawl into. the feathery down comforter that surrounds alex look like soft clouds that beckon you closer. 
but…no, you think, you can’t give in to your urges. you have to lock in for this final.
“i will,” you promise your boyfriend, “in a little bit.”
alex frowns, but flops his arms down. 
“o-okay..” he says, as if he doesn’t believe you. “i’ll be…here, um, waiting.” 
a bit reluctantly, you spin your rolly chair 180 degrees back towards your desk that looked like someone ripped a dictionary in half and dumped all the loose pages everywhere. where did you leave off again?
Tumblr media
a measly five minutes have passed, in which you have oh-so-wisely spent blinking blankly at some notes that you took half-asleep in the back of class, when you spare a look over your shoulder at your boyfriend.
to your surprise, he blinks back at you with his stupid big brown eyes that he knows you can’t help but melt at.
“alex!” you snap, mildly annoyed. “don’t do that! you know i have to study!”
“do what?” he remarks innocently, as if he didn’t know exactly what he was doing. 
you narrow your eyes at him and huff before turning back to your notes. half of the page are words that are non-discernible, and the other half are doodle recreations of some ridiculous cat photo that alex sent you in the middle of the lecture. 
when you not-so-subtly look back over your shoulder again, you notice your boyfriend is once again laying patiently on your bed, phone cast away. when he sees you glancing at him, he sends you a silly smile that, combined with the two tufts of blond hair that sticks up from his head and the dumb thumbs up he sticks up, can’t help but make you crack a smile. 
right away, you realize your error, and go back to being nonchalant before alex can see. you turn your attention back to your god-forsaken notes, and attempt to decipher the more promising-looking bits that you had scribbled down. 
you actually figure out a page and a half of notes, and successfully copy them down onto a few flashcards before your eyes get a tiniest bit droopy. without realizing it, your drowsiness gets a hold of you before you can write anymore, and your head starts to loll forwards. 
however, a voice snaps you out of your half-asleep state.
“what are you doing?” alex says, somehow having magically appeared next to your desk, and now stood looking at you like the standing man emoji. 
you scramble to look like you didn’t just almost fall asleep at your desk. 
“i was just closing my eyes because the lights were kind of hurting my eyes,” you bullshit the best you can. 
“hmm,” alex says.
before you can go back to your notes, he hooks his arms under yours and just about hefts you out of your rolly chair like you were some kind of baby. 
appalled, you try and squirm out of his grip. 
“what are you doing, alex??” you exclaim, pushing against his muscled arms to no avail.
he throws you unceremoniously onto your bed, and your body, like the traitor it is, automatically relaxes against the familiar softness of your mattress, even if you fully had the intention of finishing just one more assignment. the scent of alex’s cologne and just alex himself envelops you in a warm hug, and you feel like waving the metaphorical white flag, so you can curl yourself in your boyfriend’s arms and fall asleep. 
alas, you know deep down that every last second was crucial, and that you had to study more, or else you would genuinely be screwed for the final. you attempt to get up, but alex jumps on top of you, actively squishing you back onto the bed.
“baby, you are not going back to that desk. you need to sleep, like, right now,” he says firmly. 
he curls one arm around you, and uses the other to tug your blankets to your chin, making sure to tuck you in securely. 
not one to give up easily, you wriggle a bit under his arm, but only manage to rock the headboard of your bed against the wall. 
almost immediately, your dorm neighbor, logan, bangs back on the wall. 
his voice is a bit muffled, but you and alex can make out the words clear as a bell:
“yo! y’all better not be banging or something! it’s like, 3am! go to bed!”
alex laughs, looking down at your mortified face next to him. 
“you hear that?” your boyfriend giggles, “logan thinks that you should go to bed too!” 
“whatever,” you mutter, but can’t help but grin the tiniest bit, before burying yourself into alex’s side and falling fast asleep. finals studying can wait until tomorrow.

Your thirst post about Professor Azul the other day is driving me insane in the best way. As his favourite student, you always get punished when you don't do well. Be it a small quiz, a discussion post, and the more the assignment is worth the worse the punishment. You've been bent over his knee and spanked or made to suck his cock and be facefucked until you couldn't even speak anymore because your throat was so sore. Recently you got a 2/5 on an online quiz. You know you'll be punished but it was only worth 1%, so it won't be that bad, right? That's what you think but Professor Azul found out you flunked the quiz because you were out partying, thanks to someone tagging you on social media. He's enraged. When you first enter his office, you tepidly drink on the glass of water he offers. He asks if you know what you did wrong and when you play dumb, not admitting to the parties, Professor Azul knows right then and there that you're not leaving until the next day. He fucks you bare, no condom, spilling his cum into you again and again. By the end, you're delirious, filled with his cum, and incoherent. You wouldn't be surprised to find out he fucked you while unconscious and you're not sure you remember what it feels like to not be filled with his seed. You think that's the end of it, being fucked full and forced to wear a plug that keeps all his cum in. The punishment must be smelling like him and enduring the stares, right? Wrong. The water Azul gave you before is a fertility potion. If you're going to be reckless and not take your studies seriously, it's best that he takes care of you permanently. Well, at least he thinks you'll agree when you're all knocked up with his child, won't you?
AAAAAAAA OTL this has me buzzing like a mosquito omg,,,, orz he's so fine. I cannot be coherent. </3
It's like half hate sex and then half need-to-fuck-you-so-hard-and-deep-that-you're-100%-knocked-up-by-the-end-of-this sex!!!! >_< he's more frustrated that you choose to go out and party, showing your pretty body off to others, while neglecting your grades (but most importantly: neglecting him). Professor Ashengrotto could feign blissful ignorance the first few times. You deserve to have fun, but then he realizes you're better off having fun with him instead of irresponsible college students. What if one of them gets you pregnant? >:( how are you going to afford a pregnancy if you're up to your neck in student debt? The obvious solution is to let him knock you up instead so that he can take care of you and pay all of your fees. He has the money for it and his house is very spacious and nice—much better than the dormitory you're living in.
In Professor Ashengrotto's mind, if you have time to be foolish you can spend that time being foolish with him. Since you seem so disinterested in your degree, preferring to party and drink and do all sorts of reckless things (it's nothing like that; you do these things in moderation, but he's delusional and obsessive and thinks that's all you are: a slutty party animal), he'll show you the reality that lies behind every shot glass. Obviously you've proven to him that you could care less about academics, so why should he care about your protests when you remind him to wear a condom or make sure he pulls out before he cums?
Professor Ashengrotto can be so immature when he's jealous and angry. Maybe he'll feel a little bad if you're struggling to stand hours later or you're bruised from a few rough rounds, but then he has to teach you a proper lesson. How else are you going to learn that university isn't a place for play? If you want that sort of life so badly, then you can just stay at his home like a good housewife and take care of all the children you'll have. :) who needs academic aspirations when you can be his cock-drunk breeding toy instead?

Hi so I’m an incoming freshman I have autism and ADHD I was wondering do you have any tips for high school specifically for people with autism and ADHD like me? Thank you for your time!!
Hi there,
It’s been out of school since 2015, so I’m rusty with tips. However I did find one article listing 12 tips that might help:
1. You don’t need ONE study space.
A well-stocked desk in a quiet place at home is key, but sometimes you need variety. Coffee shops, libraries, parks, or even just moving to the kitchen table will give you a change of scenery which can prompt your brain to retain information better.
2. Track more than HW in your school planner.
Keeping a calendar helps you plan ahead—but you’ve got more going on than just homework assignments! Make sure you’re marking your extracurricular, work, and social commitments, too. (Tests, band practice, away games, SAT dates, half-days and holidays are just a few examples of reminders for your planner.)
3. Start small.
If you’ve got a big assignment looming, like a research paper, stay motivated by completing a piece of the project every few days. Write one paragraph each night. Or, do 5 algebra problems from your problem set at a time, and then take a break.
4. School supplies (alone) don’t make you organized.
Come up with a system and keep to it. Do you keep one big binder for all your classes with color-coded tabs? Or do you prefer to keep separate notebooks and a folder for handouts? Keep the system simple—if it’s too fancy or complicated, you are less likely to keep it up everyday.
5. Get into a routine.
When will you make the time to do your homework every day? Find the time of day that works best for you (this can change day-to-day, depending on your schedule!), and make a plan to hit the books.
6. Learn how to create a distraction-free zone.
A study on workplace distractions found that it takes workers an average of 25 minutes to return to what they were working on pre-interruption. Try turning off your phone notifications or blocking Twitter (temporarily) on your computer so you can concentrate on the homework tasks at hand.
7. Get real.
When you’re looking at the homework you have to get done tonight, be realistic about how long things actually take. Gauging that reading a history chapter will take an hour and writing a response will take another 30 minutes will help you plan how you spend your time.
8. Use class time wisely.
Is your teacher finished lecturing, but you still have 10 minutes of class left? Get a jump on your chemistry homework while it’s still fresh in your mind. Or use the time to ask your teacher about concepts that were fuzzy the first time.
9. Look over your notes each night to make sure you've got it.
Fill in details, edit the parts that don’t make sense, and star or highlight the bits of information that you know are most important. Interacting with your notes will help you remember them. You can also use Homework Help to get your questions answered 24/7.
10. Study a little every day.
Cramming Spanish vocabulary for a quiz might work in the short-term, but when comes time to study for midterms, you’ll be back at square 1. You might remember the vocab list long enough to ace the quiz, but reviewing the terms later will help you store them for the long haul.
11. Don’t let a bad grade keep you down.
A rough start to the semester doesn’t have to sink your GPA. Take proactive steps by checking your grades regularly online and getting a tutor if you need one.
12. Make a friend in every class.
Find a few people you can contact from each of your classes if you have a homework question or had to miss class (and do the same for them!).  Then when it comes time to study for exams, you'll already have a study group.
The article will be below:
I hope this helps. Thank you for the inbox. I hope you have a wonderful day/night. ♥️

Hi! Weird question but I saw you were talking about homeschooling your kiddo. I was homeschooled from 9-18 and was wondering if you’ve settled on a curriculum yet. I was raised on Abeka and I want to do something different for my future kids. Sorry if this is too nosey! No pressure to respond 😊
Hey! Yeah so we do have a curriculum and well we have 2, the first one is Splashlearn, it's 19 bucks a month and it goes up to 5th grade, from there we have to switch over to Time4Learning. That one I think is 29 a month but both have a yearly option which we will switch to during income season.
The reason we chose those programs is because they are special education friendly. My son is on the spectrum and has adhd and the whole scheduling with these programs are very flexible.
Right now he's in pre k so he has one live class a day, Monday through Thursday but we have worksheets for him to do extra assignments to help with his handwriting and whatever else.
Monday & Wednesday are his math days and Tuesdays & Thursdays are his E.L.A days.
Splashlearn does have a free option but you don't get the online classes which I think helps a lot with him. He really looks forward to school during the week and he loves that for each class he completes there's a quiz and he wins points for his online aquarium he has through them.
So right now we're on splashlearn and once he's in 5th grade we're going to time for learning.
Here's Splashlearn if you would like to read up on it.
And here's Time4Learning if you would like to read through this as well

Madrid Week 2: Taking Time
Hola a todxs! Niko here again, back for week 2 of studying abroad in Madrid. This week felt nearly as long as my first one in the city. Class started on Monday. Thankfully, schoolwork has been pretty light thus far, so I’ve had the spare energy and time to focus on adjusting to the new schedule, commute, and teaching/class style at UC3M, all while attempting to make new friends with Spanish, American, and International students from across Europe (and Oceania!). Also, I took a weekend trip to Granada in the southern region of Andalucía — more on that later.
SCHOOL STUFF (ACADEMICS?!)
With the first week now under my belt, I wanted to quickly touch on my academic experience so far in Spain. This semester, I’m taking a Spanish language class for international students, and three classes in English for a both national and international students: “Social groups and their cultural imaginaries” (a mix between philosophy and culture, INTERHUM 300 equivalent), “Materials Science and Engineering” (MATSCI 220 Equivalent), and “Databases and Structures” (EECS 400 Level Equivalent). Given that I pass 🙏, all of these classes should count towards my degrees (aerospace engineering major, international minor for engineers, computer science minor).
School at UC3M is quite different than it is in the states. Most notably, the grading system is unfamiliar. At Michigan, a big emphasis is put on required assignments that are due throughout the semester — homeworks, problem sets, mini projects, etc.. These required assignments force students to continuously engage with the content, which I feel improves focus and learning (if the assignments are completed with the right intention). At Carlos III, the final exam constitutes 60% of the final grade for the vast majority of classes, with the remaining 40% of “continuous assessment” depending on things like in-class quizzes and one-off assignments.
With no homework to keep me on track, I’m gonna have to pay close attention to make sure my classes don’t fall to the wayside with all of the 1,000,000 other distractions in Madrid (and Europe) vying for my attention. I’ve already decided to switch one class (Neural Networks) because I thought it would require a level of effort that I simply wasn’t prepared to put in while I’m abroad with bigger priorities than school (namely, exploration, self growth, meeting people, etc.).
This is a shift in itself that I’m going to have to get used to — for my entire life, performing well in school has been at the top of my list. However, while in Spain, all I need to do is pass (get a 5/10, 50% overall) for my credits to transfer with no effect on my GPA, so that’s what I’m shooting for now. I’m certain that this will cause some internal conflict (e.g.: a 60% on [x] quiz?! Oh no!!! tbh math 216 already got me over those bad grades tho lol) when things start to pick up, but I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. 
Tumblr media
ON RELATIONSHIPS
Going into my study abroad experience, my biggest goal was to understand the culture of Madrid & Spain from a local point of view. I knew from studying in Buenos Aires that living in a different city can be a much more enriching experience than touring it for vacation, so long as I put in the effort. A big part of that goal was to make friends with people local to Madrid, along with other Americans*/ International students who shared that same mindset. I think that in explicitly setting this goal, I inadvertently put a lot of pressure on myself to make all these friends really quickly, in an environment and language I’m unfamiliar with, all while trying to adjust to and internalize a major lifestyle shift.
As a result, I think that — up until this week — this self-imposed pressure gave me unnecessary anxiety that inhibited me from being my true self. I spent time worrying about whether the Spanish students in my class would like me, if my Spanish was good enough to communicate with them, if they would judge me for being an American, how soon I should message the new person I met in the cafeteria so I wouldn’t appear too clingy… the list goes on. I was stressing and strategizing to make friends, when the best strategy is always to just be myself.
This is a lesson I’ve learned during my transition to Michigan, but being implanted into a new environment and University gave me a bit of a factory reset. I had to remind myself that I’ve only been here for 2.5 weeks. Directing my attention inwards instead of outwards will enable me to be fully present (and able to overcome the initial discomfort of making new relationships [see week 1 for discussion on discomfort]) when people that I can click with inevitably come along. Through this process, I’ll undoubtedly develop a stronger relationship with myself and increased comfort being alone, which is another personal goal of mine.
Funnily enough, that’s how things started to turn out in the second half of the first week. When I caught myself overthinking and was able to redirect my focus, I slowly started to reach out and become more friendly with some of the Spanish students in my culture class, and I met a group of Spaniards by chance that I really vibe with at the club on a Wednesday (oops, sorry it’s syllabus week :P ). Simultaneously, I’ve begun to get closer to some fellow American study abroad students. By no means have I found the perfect group of friend-soulmates that I’ll proceed to travel and experience Europe with for the rest of my 17 weeks in Spain, but that wasn’t something that I was ever expecting, anyways. Moving forward, I’m going to do my best to avoid resisting flow, always assuming positive intent to keep myself open to new interactions (check out what I mean by this by watching this video clip from a speech Mark Rober gave at the MIT graduation, I highly recommend the whole video), all the while prioritizing my own peace and happiness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This weekend, I also visited Granada, a small town in the south of Spain famous for its Moorish influence and the incredible La Alhambra palace nestled in its hills. I might cover the trip in more detail next week, I guess we’ll see… but it was a beautiful weekend filled with beautiful architecture, beautiful sunsets, and great company. Per usual, check out the photo captions for some more context.

*A LONG ASIDE ON THE WORD “AMERICAN”, for context & completeness
I would like to be clear about my use of the word "American". In English, there is no succinct way to say “Person from the United States of America”, unlike other nationalities (Spaniard, Argentinian, Norwegian, etc). American is the best word that we have. However, in conversations about US culture with people from other countries, I’ve been met with a similar critique in multiple instances (both with Europeans and South Americans). The Americas include the entire continent of North America and South America, which encompasses a huge variety of countries, cultures, and nationalities. When saying the word “American” while describing a person from the United States, we are inadvertently reinforcing the narrative that the United States is the most significant country across both continents and thus more righteously deserves the blanket term “American” over any other country in the region.
This conclusion is obviously more nuanced than what I’ve stated. The United States of America uses the word “America” in its name, which is likely where this blanket term came from. Also, I don’t think that the perpetuation of this US-centric language is due to intentional individual action, but rather a result of complicated cultural and etymological phenomena which I don’t have a comprehensive understanding of.
I won’t stop saying American in these blogs — primarily because saying “person from the United States” each time would likely distract from the points I'm trying to make — but I felt that an acknowledgement of this common criticism was important. In Spanish, Estados Unidos = United States, and US citizens are more precisely described as “Estadounidenses” (although the word “Americano” is still commonly used). When introducing myself to people from other countries, I always do my best to use the most precise language possible when referring to my nationality, which is one of the many ways I practice cultural humility. Stay tuned for another blog sometime this semester about how I go about practicing cultural humility, something that I think is very important for Americans who come from one of the most — if not the most — influential countries on earth (something that has also become apparent through my conversations).

Ok I want to know this for real: What's American school like? Ya'll in the movies are always talking about romance or money or something. There's like a hundred teen pregnancies and people are obsessed with being popular or smth. In my school everyone's first topic is grades. I mean yeah some people have significant others and all that but most of the time their dates are study dates. The population is too big to set yourself as the most popular person in the school, and besides, why waste time on social standing when you could be studying? After school there are always people in the cafeteria doing homework. Hell, most people come to school early to do group studies in the cafeteria.
And, ok. There are some people who have shitty grades and motivation. There are some kids who flaunt money. But the kids who show off money don't mean jackshit to us. The kids who have shitty grades are at the bottom 1% of the population. Most people want to get into an Ivy league Uni, or at the very least UBC. When people check their phones the first thing they check is their average grade. If you listen to the fucking noise in the hallway during class change there's always at least 5 groups of people quizzing each other before a test in the middle of the goddamn hallway. People quiz each other walking to school. People quiz each other during lunch. People quiz each other walking home. People quiz each other all the damn time. How do ya'll have time for teen pregnancies and fucking romance? Where'st the fuck do the popular rich kids get the time to establish a social standing? Hell, one of the kids in my grade has a parent in the teaching department and she isn't the goddamn popular kid.

🌸✨ Study tips to not only excel but maintain a healthy mindset and get straight As with ease 🌸✨
Hello, beautiful minds,
Success in scientific subjects doesn’t just come from hard work; it comes from strategic, intentional effort. Let’s combine our love for science, our need to get the highest grade and these research-based techniques to help you achieve your dreams while maintaining that soft, pink and oh so girly energy that we all love . 📚💕
✨ Tip 1: Create an Inviting Study Environment
The Power of Space
Research shows that an organized and aesthetically pleasing study space improves concentration and mental clarity. Surrounding yourself with pastel pink stationery, soft lighting, and cozy seating can positively impact your focus and productivity. 🖤🎀
Why it works: A study from the University of Essex found that a pleasant environment reduces stress, improves cognitive function, and enhances productivity.
What to do: Designate a space that feels like your personal retreat—add your favorite pink decor, a soft chair, and calming plants to keep you at ease while you work. 🌷💕
✨ Tip 2: Color-Coding for Visual Learning
The Science of Color and Memory
Color-coding is more than just cute—it’s a proven method to boost memory retention. Studies from the University of British Columbia have shown that using color in your notes can improve recall and help distinguish between different concepts. 🌸💖
Why it works: Research in the Journal of Experimental Psychology found that using color when studying improves visual memory and helps the brain organize complex information.
What to do: Use pastel-colored pens, highlighters, and sticky notes to differentiate topics. For example, use pink for key formulas, lavender for definitions, and peach for important theories. This visual differentiation will help your brain process and retain information faster. 🎀
✨ Tip 3: Active Recall with Flashcards
The Power of Active Learning
Active recall is one of the most effective methods for mastering science subjects. Flashcards help you engage actively with the material, making your brain work harder to retrieve information, which strengthens memory retention. Research has shown that active recall, when used consistently, can improve exam performance by as much as 40%. 🌸💕
Why it works: Studies, including one by the National Institutes of Health, have shown that retrieval practice (like using flashcards) enhances long-term memory retention.
What to do: Create flashcards with pastel-colored borders, and write questions on one side and answers on the other. Use them to quiz yourself regularly, and try not to peek at the answers until you've made your best guess. ✨💖
✨ Tip 4: Break Study Sessions into Focused Intervals
The Science of the Pomodoro Technique
Research consistently shows that focused study intervals lead to better retention and productivity. The Pomodoro Technique, where you study for 25 minutes and take a 5-minute break, aligns with your brain’s natural rhythms, preventing burnout and maximizing focus. 🌷💕
Why it works: A study published in Cognitive Psychology found that short bursts of intense focus followed by brief breaks can improve focus, prevent mental fatigue, and enhance overall learning efficiency.
What to do: Set a timer for 25-minute intervals of studying followed by a 5-minute break. During your break, drink water, stretch, or take a quick walk. Return refreshed and ready to focus again. 🎀✨
✨ Tip 5: Collaborate with Study Buddies
The Social Learning Effect
Working with others has been shown to improve understanding, especially in scientific subjects that require deep analysis. Research from Harvard University suggests that discussing concepts with peers helps consolidate knowledge and can clarify areas of confusion. When you explain something to someone else, you’re also reinforcing the material in your own mind. 🌸✨
Why it works: Studies show that collaborative learning leads to better problem-solving and deeper comprehension. Working with others allows you to see different perspectives and reinforces your own knowledge.
What to do: Form small study groups with friends who motivate you. Discuss key scientific concepts and help each other with difficult topics. You’ll learn just as much by teaching as you do by listening. 💕🎀
✨ Tip 6: Use Past Papers to Predict Success
Simulating the Exam Environment
One of the most effective ways to prepare for exams is to practice under real test conditions. Research indicates that simulating exam conditions with past papers boosts exam performance by helping you become familiar with question formats and time management. This method reduces test anxiety and improves confidence. 📚💖
Why it works: A study in the Journal of Educational Psychology showed that students who regularly practiced past exams performed better than those who only reviewed notes.
What to do: Find past exam papers online or in your textbook. Set aside time to complete them in a quiet, timed environment. Review your answers afterward, and focus on areas where you can improve. 🌷✨
✨ Tip 7: Prioritize Sleep for Brain Health
The Connection Between Sleep and Memory
Never underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep. Scientific research shows that sleep is essential for memory consolidation, especially when studying for complex subjects like science. During deep sleep, your brain processes and strengthens memories, helping you retain information better. 💖💕
Why it works: Studies from Harvard Medical School show that sleep is critical for learning and memory retention. Without proper rest, your brain struggles to absorb and retain new information.
What to do: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Create a calming bedtime routine with soft music or a warm bath to help you relax. You’ll wake up refreshed, with your mind ready to absorb more knowledge. 🌙🎀
✨ Tip 8: Positive Reinforcement and Self-Affirmations
The Psychology of Success
Believing in yourself can be as powerful as studying hard. Positive self-affirmations have been shown to reduce stress and increase motivation. Studies suggest that when you affirm your abilities, your brain releases dopamine, which improves focus and performance. 🌸💕
Why it works: Research from Psychological Science indicates that self-affirmations can reduce anxiety and enhance cognitive performance, helping you perform better in academic settings.
What to do: Begin each study session by telling yourself, “I am capable, I am smart, I will succeed.” Embrace your strength, and remind yourself that every challenge is an opportunity to grow. ✨���

Blog Post 5: alessandra and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad study habits
Realizations
I’ve always known that my study habits are really not that great and after listening to the Psych O’Clock Habit segment, I’ve realized how much my study habits have been holding me back. Professor Kay Anonuevo really advocated for self-regulated learning which, according to Zimmerman, is where learners transform their mental abilities to academic skills. It is self-directive and requires the student to be proactive and not just reactive to their studies. Self-regulated learning requires consistency, avoiding cramming, and strict adherence to a schedule. Every single thing that I struggle with. I’ve noticed that my study habits are reactive and in response to what is required of me by the nearest deadline. If there is a quiz, I will only really study for it the day before. While it does help with the retention of information (as the information is fresh and recent), my level of understanding is not at the level that I would want it to be. I rarely ever reviewed since my attention during class is focused only on the topic, however, during online classes my last-minute review sessions did not become enough and I found myself not being able to retain information. I felt really “called out” the first few minutes of the podcast when the male host started listing all of my bad study habits one by one. 
Oof, you’ve got problems
I recognize in myself that I have terrible attention problems. I find it difficult to start, finish, or even stay focused enough to do a task without feeling some sort of pressure, like a deadline or low grades. I get easily distracted and I often feel restless when sitting down in front of my computer. I need different stimuli such as music or background noise in order to focus completely. Although I am not diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, I often find myself relating to the struggles of people with ADHD in studying. I also use some of the techniques that they have said to work with them. My attention problems do not mean that I am completely unable to focus as I have these short bursts of hyperfocus on the task at hand that I am often able to complete the task quickly and efficiently. These bursts often come four hours before the deadline. Honestly, I am not exaggerating how terrible I am at beginning and finishing tasks but once I get into the groove of things, I am as efficient as a workhorse. As I have mentioned before, moments of intense pressure also lead me to these hyper-focused states. During hell week, I often find myself cramming many deadlines at the same time. In order to complete all of my deadlines, I create a schedule for myself that I often follow perfectly. 
Will it work for me?
Although I can see how self-regulated learning can help, I find that it mostly benefits neurotypical people who have the ability to focus immediately. However, I find that sticking to a routine or schedule helps with my focus as I have already mentally prepared myself for doing that routine. I would need to really train myself in order to commit to self-regulated learning. I would need to set goals that are proximal, which would be time-specific and challenging enough to stimulate my brain. In terms of using socialization as a method to help in studying, I find that when reviewing for an exam, I would need to study alone in order to get most of the concepts. Then, for the social aspect, I would explain it to a friend so that I would be more likely to retain the information. For projects, I find it effective to be in a group call in order to have some accountability and outside pressure to complete the task. Somehow, knowing that my friends are also doing the same thing as me makes me more likely to focus on the task at hand. For the next semester, I would like to try out self-regulated learning to see if it would help me with my abysmal learning habits.

MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Have you ever wondered what life is like for someone like me? Mabuhay! I am J.V. M. Serzo, a 17-year-old man from Tanza, Cavite. A Filipino, a child, a Leo, an honor student, a journalist, a leader, a humanista, and a son of God. I was born on the 25th of July 2005 at Fabella Hospital in Manila. Many people always asked me if my first name is just a two-letter name and I always answered "Yes". They were often shocked about it and teased me that my parents want me to be at ease especially when my teachers ask their students to write our names on a paper back and forth. I am a product of Cavite and certified Caviteño. Many people say that when you are a Caviteño, you are brave and I think they are right. I am brave, I am fierce, and I am confident as what a Caviteño is.
I am the 6th child of Myla Matta, my mom, and Roberto Serzo Jr., my dad. I have 5 siblings namely Erwin, Mhay, Cheska, Ian, and Yna. I am the youngest among the six. When I was young I often fell on our stairs because I always want my favorite bolster to be at my side but because it is too big for me at that time I cannot see the following steps when I am going down so yeah! I fell so hard so many times. So because of this, maybe that is why I'm short. I'm 5 foot and 1 inch tall by the way. However, even though I am not that tall, I always receive compliments from others that I am small but terrible. Thank you to people who always give and tell me some acknowledgments just like it because it boosted my morale and my confidence.
I am a consistent honor student from kinder to the present, in Grade 12. I was one of the top students who always join extracurricular activities and represented our school. Way back in elementary, I was part of the BIGSAYWIT Team of Malagasang 1, and a secretary of the Youth for Environment in Schools Organization. I am also a qualifier for the ASEP Quiz Bee and more until Junior High School. And now, I am taking Humanities of Social Sciences at Emilio Aguinaldo College- Cavite and hoping to graduate in June this year.
All of these years in school were never an easy challenge for me. It feels like a roller coaster ride for someone like me. I cried, I laugh, felt proud and disappointed in myself while studying and fighting in the battle called life. But, there is something that my mom always tells me, that I should believe in my capabilities and that I am limitless. This lesson from my mom is embarked in my heart and soul. And every time I face difficulties in my life I always remind myself what my mom told to me.
All the things I have experienced in my 17 years of existence are truly something to be proud of. Now that I am nearly entering college life and will take a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, I already submitted my applications to many universities that have the said program. I applied to UP, UST, PLM, PUP, CVSU-Indang, and EAC. I am hoping to get as well a scholarship so that I can have something to support my study, and to help also my family financially. I know that everything I experienced in my 17 years is not as heavy as what college and the real world can bring to me, and that is why I already collecting faith, trust, and courage to face all the circumstances that will happen to me. I know that with the faith I have in the Lord, he will not let me down. He will be my weapon, my sword, and my power to pursue what I want and achieve the greatest that I could achieve.
Just like what people always tell “Malayo pa pero malayo na” I know that there is nothing that can stop me from getting the greatest that I could be but only me. And, this is also what I want people to learn about me, that we are the leaders of ourselves and we are the authors of our stories.

WHEN THE DREAMER SLEPT
Tumblr media
On 19th of July 2003, an elegant and clever lady was born named Pia Francesca Yangson Tumamak. She is now 19 years old. She has 3 siblings and Pia is the 2nd daughter of Luanne Yangson Tumamak and Victor Inday Tumamak. Her older sister is named Victoria Tumamak, her younger sister is Maria Theresa Yangson Tumamak and her younger brother named Amado Bryne Yangson Tumamak. 
The lady spent most of her time playing outside, playing computer games, and studying with her aunt. At the age of 4, she went to Filomenita Nursery and Kindergarten School. Lived with her Grandparents (Mother Side), Aunts, and Mother. Francesca had a gruesome childhood experience with parents, but a funnier social environment. At the age of 5, she already knew how to use computers and had been listening to Taylor Swift since which influenced her musical taste. Started 1st grade at the age of 6 in Legarda Elementary School. That same year, Pia experienced a heart attack and was diagnosed with a heart condition. Also, firsthand witnessed her Lola’s stroke seizure then lost her permanently. The lady decided to stop studying for a few years due to heart problems. She started reading Wattpad and has been fond of reading/writing since then. After one year, she tried to enter ALS, but it didn't work out. Hence waited another year to resume 5th grade. She finished 5th grade with honors and moved 18 sections up. In 6th grade, her mother worked abroad for their aunt. Thus, she became responsible for all of their bills and household chores. She lived with their grandfather and siblings until her grandfather died right after her graduation on April 12, 2017. 
She started 7th grade at Ramon Magsaysay High School and was an active and competitive student. Received a few awards such as YES-O Champion, 3rd place Essay Writing and 3rd place Math Competition, Best in Math, English, etc. But then they had to move to Caloocan due to housing problems. Started 8th grade at Camarin High School, where she met some of her closest friends now and one of them is Kristelle Joyce P. Tambio – her confidante. She had trouble fitting in and started feeling depressed. Tried hard to be active again but failed. She still obtained an award such as Spelling Bee Champion and With Honors. In 9th grade, she felt completely down. Got tired of life and been living unhealthy. But Pia met awesome friends which had a massive impact on her life years after. Then, COVID hit our country, so she started online classes in 10th grade. Experienced the darkest and lowest point of her life that year but she decided to cut toxic people off to make life more peaceful and easier. After the struggles she had to face. Pia had graduated with Honors. 
Starting 11th grade at Holy Angel School of Caloocan, she took the STEM strand, and she became as the top 1 of their class and with highest honors. Currently she is studying 12th grade at the same school. She's been trying hard to change her life. Tried new things such as running for SSG. After all the efforts and hard work, she was elected to be the secretary of the Supreme Student Government. She also won as champion in their group quiz bee and essay writing competition. 
Her family relationships have a very strong bond with each other. At the age of 8, she took care of her only cousin (mother’s side) growing up, she became her best friend and baby at the same time. She has a great relationship with aunts as they always support their family.
According to Pia, she considers boys or romantic love as useless as the color white in Crayola crayons. However, had some experience with boys. Growing up on streets, some of her playmates confessed that they liked her and pursued the lady creepily. So, she thought boys were disgusting. But then she started having a crush when she was still in Nursery. She had a crush on a boy named Ken who apparently lived nearby. She never talked to him. Her second crush was Frank in 2nd grade. They were best friends. He also liked Pia, but they were still too young. It never developed. Her 1st and 3rd grade crush were Ivan, who was a total jerk that made fun of her growing up. She then lost interest. Pia never again liked someone until 7th grade. A boy named Jomer, who she was often teased with. They were cool not ‘til the guy liked her best friend at the same time. She experienced her first heartbreak then not because of Jomer, but because of the betrayal of her friends. At 8th to 10th grade, she unofficially closed to a boy named Justin. The guy was really great but didn’t work out because they believed that they were too immature. Ever since then, she never had close relations with boys besides being friends. 
She was a people pleaser growing up. She collected a wide network of friends. However, there are few groups in which she really relates or belongs to. The “KNS”. They were the one who supported her throughout the lowest point of her life. Hence, she placed great importance on them. 
When she was young, Pia thought that it would be cool to become a few different things at the same time. Such as being an Astronaut but also a doctor. However, as the world made sense, she really wanted to become a Genetic Engineer. However due to some constraints she could only become a Nurse or an Engineer (Biomedical) in the near future. But none of these really matters to her, since what she really wants is to live a peaceful and stable life independently while being able to support my family. In the back of her head, she also wants to become a relevant figure in history to be remembered by people in a great light.
France is my best friend since 2018. We became close like twins. Pia and I love to explore new things, especially about ourselves. Who would have thought that a lady with heart disease helped me to heal and discover myself? It feels surreal to have a best friend, sister, mother figure and comfort in one person. She had a significant impact in my life, our friendship helped us to grow and became the best version of ourselves. She taught me to become an independent, resilient and matured woman. She got my back every time. Words aren’t enough to describe how thankful I am as her best friend. As we grow older, I want to cherish every moment in our life and if “next life" is real, I’d still choose her as my soulmate.

Thursday, August 17, 2023
These first few days of coursework have been mostly topic reviews. I'm finishing everything up quickly, which is nice. It allows me to spend more time with Julien. We have been playing games after I finish up my school work, or we are going out to the park near our house. Sometimes we go out to the pool and swim. Summer went by terribly fast! I am both thrilled and filled with sadness and nostalgia that it is already over.
Tasks Completed:
Geometry - Review of solving systems of linear equations + practice
Lit and Comp II - Studied vocabulary + read two poems + read about evaluating online sources for credibility and took a quiz
Spanish 2 - Reviewed ser and estar, gustar, tener, tener idioms, and verb conjugation
Bible I - Read Genesis 7-8
World History - Completed terminology crossword puzzle + read about Nile River civilizations + read about the "gift of the Nile" and the Rosetta Stone
Biology with Lab - Continued my outline on characteristics of life
Foundations - Read more on alertness + took a quiz on Read Theory + took another learning styles quiz on intelligences and found out that my top three are musical, body movement, and language, but I scored over a 4 (highest is 5) in nature and self, and over a 3 in social, spatial, and math and having over a 3 in any of them indicates that I still use those type of intelligences often to help me learn
Practice - Practiced assigned pieces for 30 minutes and worked on memorization
Khan Academy - Completed Unit 1: Lesson 4 of 9th-grade reading and vocabulary
Duolingo - Completed one lesson each in Spanish, French, and Chinese

28/100
Yet again in the lib. There will be lots of library posts this week as I have agreed to be a study monitor this week for an on campus organization. Today I've been studying for advanced accounting as I should be having a quiz sometime soon.
Today I took my developmental psychology exam and I really hope I did well. I don't know how to feel about it. This will be the last exam for a week or so which means now I will be getting all my graded exams from the past week back. Today was Latin. I ended up making an 85 on the exam which sounded really good until I realized I had the second lowest score in the class. I need to start dedicating more time to that class but there's just so much to cover and I feel like we move so quickly. However, I should be getting 5 bonus points for going to tutoring so it'll actually be a 90! Which is good since it's an A. This class will be fine but it will be annoying.
Tomorrow I have social psychology and I'm hoping to get my exam from last week back. I needed an 87 but I don't think I did that well. Another class I need to dedicate more time to but this time the material just isn't interesting which is a shame.
Hope this week treats everyone well!
