Handling Anxiety in College

Sometimes I feel like college stress just sucks the life out of me.

Honestly, I think it’s worse to suffer from anxiety in college than in almost any other life stage. If you experience work-related anxiety, at least you’re away from work at night.

7 Things I Did WRONG this Exam Season

Have you ever looked back and realized “I really could have done this better”? I definitely have. I’ve realized some things that I did wrong during exams.

I’ve been finished exams for over a week now, and let me tell you, it feels good! I only have 4 courses this semester, my honours thesis and then three fourth year psych courses.

The second-last week of classes I had a class presentation, a research paper, my entire literature review for my thesis all due, and I also had to start writing my end of year paper worth pretty much my whole grade as well as study for two finals.

5 Funny YouTube Videos to Get You Through Exams

It’s exam season.

That time of year where we all realize how little we know and how we have even less time to learn it all in.

A time where we bounce between caffeine highs and emotional lows, when personal hygiene consists of changing our sweatpants after 3 days, and we somehow convince ourselves that KD counts as a vegetable.

So, to get you through this dark time, I have compiled some of the most motivating pep-talks on YouTube that I often turn to when exams leave me in a dark place. It may seem silly, but it’s important to take some time and relax when you’re studying all day! So take a few minutes and cheer up with these hilarious clips. [Read more…]

5 Ways to Fight Off Sickness During Exams!

Exams are coming up, so of course all of us are trying to figure out how to not get sick for exams for once.

Isn’t being sick the worst? I’ve been living on my own for almost 3 years now, and I really do love it.

But whenever I get sick I just want to curl up and have my mommy brush my hair and sing me soft kitty. Yep, even as a married woman. I just want my husband to rub my feet and my mom to sing me Soft Kitty. I’m pathetic when I’m sick. [Read more…]
