h1 econs

Right arm pain

Period just came

I found econs lame

I hope u dont feel the same

Random poem moment cos it was EONS since i last studied with maximum effort for econs, which was j1 wa1 whoops!

Oh and reminiscing the fact primary sch didnt notice my talent for poem/raping sighhh signed up for some much competitions earned net zero 🤡

It's damn mind awakening going through stuff that I know that I was taught. But it felt like i was looking at them for the first time ever 💀💀💀

Ok enough dawdling and on to the paper!!!

csq1 my food security homie <3, PED and market failure due to overconsumption was exactly what i revised for (and the only qns i revised for 😂 PLSPLSPLS GET AN Ssss —cue Sabrina Carpenter’s please please please)

csq2 sg government balance like ??? And the last 2 questions has me on a chokehold cos I HAVE NOT CLUE what their England wants T^T

3/5 fun watching gen z behaviours, especially when they are bored, pain killed it

Suddenly I felt my forearm muscle and index knuckle hurting (not for the rhymes but they aching). I knew something was damn off already as the last time it was this painful was when I over practiced piano… Didn’t even hurt this much for gp… Maybe it's cumulative or something so I hope it goes away soon…

So now I'm sticking more salonpas than my mother probably did in her whole life!

But it prevents my moving with you know the stiffness of stickiness? These medical patches do help especially with the pain of taking them off is 🫨🫨🫨

Just tried some arm stretches and the condition got a bit better! Hopefully I don’t break some muscle or nerve during this A level endeavour…

ps. Do yall have any advice on how to deal with this writer’s cramp?

pps. i chose this dessert which my mom got from Yindii(next post will spill more) COS ITS LEGIT LIKE THE AMOUNT OF HAIR ON MY J1 ECONS CHER, which is almost negligible (bro tryna resist baldness)

... Read moreAs someone who's been deep in the trenches of J1 economics revision, I totally get that it can sometimes feel overwhelming and even a bit disheartening. One thing I realized during my prep was how important it is to pace yourself. For instance, I noticed my right arm started hurting badly—likely from too much writing and note-taking—and dealing with writer's cramp became a real hurdle. I found that incorporating simple arm stretches during study breaks really helped ease the stiffness and pain. Also, using things like Salonpas patches was a lifesaver for me when muscle aches felt intense, though I admit taking them off is always a bit painful! Don't underestimate the power of small comforts when you’re grinding through long hours. Apart from physical care, revisiting economic concepts multiple times helped me gradually feel less lost, even though at first it felt like seeing everything anew. If you’re struggling with certain topics like market failure or policy impacts (which I was!), try breaking them down into relatable examples or watching engaging videos online. Another tip is to mix your study methods — flashcards, group discussions, or teaching a friend can make a significant difference in retaining tough concepts. Lastly, don’t forget to treat yourself sometimes! I recently enjoyed a dessert my mom got from Yindii, which honestly made me smile amid all the exam fuss. Little joys like that can really boost your mood during intense revision phases. Remember, every student’s journey is unique and facing bumps like writer's cramp or exam stress doesn't mean you’re failing. It's all part of growing and learning.
