new year new you

1/9 Edited to

... Read moreStarting a new year is the perfect opportunity to reset your study habits and aim for academic excellence. From my experience, the advice to attend office hours isn't just about clarifying difficult concepts; it offers unique insights directly from professors, which often include valuable exam hints and networking opportunities. Don't hesitate to ask questions and seek guidance, as professors appreciate engaged students and can even support your future academic journey. Procrastination can be a real productivity killer. Tackling assignments as soon as they're assigned helps prevent last-minute stress and allows you to produce higher quality work. Personally, setting mini-deadlines for myself ahead of actual due dates has been a game changer. It ensures steady progress and reduces overwhelm. Balancing 70% of your time on work and 30% on relaxation might seem challenging, but it’s essential for mental well-being and overall performance. Taking regular breaks and allowing yourself downtime prevents burnout and actually improves focus during study sessions. Incorporating enjoyable activities or socializing can recharge your brain for better retention. Don’t overlook suggested readings or extra materials flagged as "optional" by professors. Often, these are subtly assessed in exams, and engaging with them deepens understanding. I found that going beyond mandatory readings not only prepared me better for tests but also sparked genuine interest in the subject. Finally, practicing with past exams is invaluable. These papers can reveal question patterns and commonly tested topics, allowing targeted revision. Over the years, I discovered that frequent practice exams built my confidence and helped me identify weak areas early. Sometimes, you might even encounter recycled questions, making this method a goldmine for exam preparation. Combining these strategies has helped me maintain a high GPA and enjoy a less stressful, more fulfilling college experience. Starting your year with these study habits can truly transform your academic journey in 2026.

Unf*ck yourself this new year!
Look, let's be honest. The self-help world is overflowing with advice. You’ve probably heard variations of most of it before – eat your vegetables, be kind to yourself, set achievable goals, blah blah blah. 🥦💖🎯 And yeah, a lot of self-improvement books rehash the same old stuff. But every so of

Best pillows for a new year?
I've never put a lot of thought into my pillows (which is odd, given how much time and consideration and money I am willing to put into buying a new bed, mattress, sheets, etc). But when it comes to pillows, I'll just pick the one that everyone else seems to be buying, at our local Walmart

What’s in my bag? (New school year!)
As I entered a new school year at a new school, I carry way less (wayyyyyy less). I skateboard to school, and a lighter bag is much more ideal. Last year, my bag weighed close to 50 pounds. Thanks for viewing! #whatsinmyschoolbag #highschool
