Now Playing Tracks

LMAO this made me feel good and scared me at the same time! Starting a new div III chapter can be scary. I wasn’t even going to write ‘chapters’ and now I am. Anyway, point is moving on can be good. I take this to mean sometimes it’s good to stop what I’m working on and start something else… you can return later.

Yes, I know this wasn’t about div iii but when you’re div iii everything is about your div haha

basically, anyone reading this knows that tumblr + studying = difficult. we’re all procrastinators. so i thought i’d share my favorite ways to crack down, not suck, and make it through finals week. you’ll need

  • this or this. it’ll whip your ass into gear. you name a list of websites that distract you, set a timer, and bam. no more hour long study breaks. the best - or worst - part is, it can’t be undone by the application, by deleting the application, or by restarting the computer. you just gotta wait, and if you’re going to wait, you may as well study.
  • goals. when you sit down to study, write down everything you’re going to do. then do it. aimlessly staring at your books won’t do shit.
  • something to listen to. i suggest movie scores, song covers by the vitamin string quartet, or white noise.
  • a queue. if you’re really obsessed with keeping your blog up to date, set aside some time, fatten up your queue, and let your blog run itself for a few days.
  • breaks. during your breaks, dance, run around, work out, go for a walk, talk to your friends, call your mom. going back on the internet is an easy way to get out of the mood, so i wouldn’t suggest it.
  • tea and coffee - if not for the caffeine, then for the feeling of cozying up with your text books and feeling studious. 
  • a place to study. it doesn’t matter if it’s in a coffee house, a library, or your kitchen table. as long as your bed’s not in sight and tempting you into a nap, you’re good.

that’s all i’ve got. i’d try to think of more, but that, my friends, would be procrastinating. off to study.

bringing this back because IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN

We might not have tests at Camp Hamp, but I’m sure you all have things you’ll need to hand in before Jan Term so use some of these tips and get cracking!
