the first few mornings back after a holiday feel like you were gone for three months by recess it feels like you never left

the worst person to talk to after an exam is the friend who remembers every answer 😭

all the best to everyone starting their N level written papers today you don't need to feel ready. read properly and fight for every mark one paper at a time you've got this 🫡

last night of the holidays if you didn't do everything you planned, welcome to the club nothing useful comes from spending tonight hating yourself pack your bag. set your alarm. sleep. that's enough for tonight

the two stages of a school holiday: 1. still got time 2. why did i think i had time

you can spend six hours scrolling and still feel tired then take a 30-minute walk without your phone and feel human again not everything that looks like a break is actually rest

opening your school bag during the holidays feels illegal

there's a huge difference between: "i understand the answer when i see it" and "i can get the answer with a blank page in front of me" exams only care about the second one

one underrated part of school is having friends who make a terrible day funny the lesson sucked the test went badly you got scolded but somehow the group chat still made you laugh

stop writing "careless mistake" and moving on what actually happened? did you skip a word? use the wrong formula? forget the unit? find the pattern so you stop losing marks the same way

sunday night but there's no school tomorrow what a beautiful sentence

happy september holidays!!! please sleep until your body remembers what 8 hours feels like 😭

the best teachers don't just make a subject easier they make you feel less stupid for not understanding it yet if a teacher ever did that for you, tell them today happy teachers' day ❤️

term 3 done congrats to everyone who was mentally in the september holidays since monday 🥳

school is basically: wait for recess wait for lunch wait to go home then reach home and somehow miss your friends

sometimes a subject feels harder because you're finally doing harder questions that doesn't mean you're getting worse it means you're past the easy part

it's almost sep if your august study plan completely failed, don't make another perfect timetable tonight look at why it failed did you plan way too much? keep avoiding one subject? sleep at 2am every night? spend more time making notes than testing yourself? change the part that actually screwed you there's still time, but only if you stop repeating the same plan

when exams get close, every subject starts feeling urgent you think about math while studying chem you think about chem while writing an essay then you panic because nothing feels finished you cannot study everything at once pick the paper that's coming up first or the subject that's hurting you most stay with one thing long enough to actually learn it

every friend group has: the one who finished all the papers the one who says "i'll start tomorrow" the one asking "got homework meh" and the one sending answers at 11:58pm be honest. which one are you 😭

one bad study day is normal what screws you is what happens after "i wasted today" "i'm so behind" "this week is gone" "i'll start again on monday" nah sleep. wake up. continue you had a bad day. that's all don't give it the rest of your week too
