maryplethora: My exams are rapidly approaching (just 9 days left!!) and amongst all the study tips posts that are popping up, I wanted to do a post about those days when things don’t go as planned. Be it that you walk out of an exam and feel like you bombed it, or that you get back a disappointing score. We all know the feeling. So here are some things that I like to do to make the day suck a little less! Have some chocolate (light/dark/milk, hot/cold/whatever as preferred) Have a bath, or a long shower Go for a walk or a jog, preferably surrounded by nature Find someone/something to cuddle Even if you have things to do, give yourself a break Tidy your room/flat/whatever to get a fresh perspective Open all windows and air out your room If you have things that need to be done, make a to do list and sort your brain out Organise your clutter/notes/room/whatever Do come colouring in a colouring book (these are awesome) Try your hand at painting, even if you’re terrible at it Make yourself some tea Bake something (and eat it without feeling guilty afterwards) Light a nice-smelling candle Spend time with the positive forces in your life, be it parents, friends or pets Watch your favourite movie (preferably with someone who loves it as much as you) Go on spotify, pandora, soundcloud, 8tracks or wherever and look for new music If you find some really good music, have a dance party Put on your favourite outfit (+ makeup look if you’re into that) Paint your nails, shave, moisturize, wash your face and pamper yourself Check out universityandme‘s “You are a force of nature” tag If you need someone to talk to, send me an ask, either here or on my main blog, saturdaystudying -- source link
