How To Wake Up Happier ♡

god i love being part of the internet’s most monetarily worthless user base. i love going to bed knowing that at least one social media site isn’t making shit off my presence.

a few tips for the new semester

after a pretty intense exam session and a few days of rest i am ready for the new semester, which for me starts tomorrow. here are some things i did to make its start a little smoother! they aren’t only applicable to semester start though, you can use them basically whenever

make sure you have all (or most of) your materials gathered - textbooks, any necessary handouts and printables, as well as stationery. as a stationery nerd i was sure i would have nothing to worry about, only to find out i ran out of whiteout tape. checking inventory won’t do any harm and can save some stress

test your connection - you can use an internet speedmeter or even do a video call with your friend to check where the data transfer is fastest. because of that method i moved my desk and suddenly my online class experience improved tenfold!!

try new routines - being inside so much has made my life pretty monotonous, so i decided to introduce some variety and change my routine. trying out new ones made me realise that i can actually be a morning person if i want to! now i wake up early and have more time for myself

state your goals - simply write them down or tell them to the mirror. put it out there in the universe and know what you want! they don’t have to be big goals, but know what you want to achieve in the upcoming weeks/months. (for me, i want to be able to place a coffee order in welsh confidently and do all my readings on time)

clear out your e-mail - oh, emails. the most dreaded thing at uni. i don’t know about you, but my faculty loves sending a bunch of unnecessary emails right before the new semester. to prepare for that, i deleted/opened all the earlier messages. that way i know exactly how many notifications are actually relevant and i don’t get overwhelmed by hundreds of unopened spam messages when the notifications are pinging.

i hope you have a great spring semester, regardless of the time it starts/started!!! remember to stay hydrated and look away from your screen every once in a while

one important thing that Must be understood about interpersonal relationships is that you have to stop interacting with people who love you like they’re one slip-up away from leaving you. you have to trust that the ppl you love mean what they say. you have to believe that when they say “this hurt my feelings,” that they’re also saying, “can you please love me this other way next time?” and you have to wrap your head around the fact that even if you don’t understand Why someone loves you, you can accept that that they do. true, honest, & open love does not function like hp in a video game !!!!!!

the most painful social interactions are when you miscalculate someone’s meme literacy and reference something and the person/group doesn’t get it and u have to half-heartedly explain it knowing FULL well it’s 0% funny if people don’t have the full convoluted context of the joke and u feel the flames of hell start to lick at ur feet as they all give u a pity laugh 

okayyyyy

Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay.
