Tips that can help you study... Maybe

How to stay awake:

• Caffeine. Caffeine & chocolate. Want caffeine, but not that much? Go with tea!

• I don’t drink caffeine, how can I stay awake? The answer is WATER. Trust me, it works. If you are feeling sleepy, but can’t afford to take a nap, drink one big bottle of water. Then, when you feel like going to pee, drink a glass of water before going to the bathroom. This will make you stay awake for another 30-45 minutes! Side effects: you might wake up several times to pee in the middle of the night. Stop drinking water 1-2 hours before going to bed.

• Don’t eat junk food. Go with FRUITS!

• DANCE. Choose your favorite tunes, turn that volume up, and dance, dance, dance until you have a big smile in your face and you are no longer sleepy.

• PAIN. Tweeze your eyebrows. Tweeze your leg hair. Wax it. Bikini wax. Believe me, this will wake you up!

• 10’ WORKOUT. Abs workout is the best, because #pain.

“I’m bored, I don’t want to study anymore”:

Stay motivated:

Ok, I personally think this is the hardest part of studying: to start something and stay motivated. I have the attention spam of a mosquito. I get distracted easily, and I am a very lazy person. And the “what if I’m not good enough” thought, ALWAYS comes back to my mind. So, then, what’s the answer?

• POSITIVE thoughts bring a positive outcome: so simple, yet so hard, but not imposible. Leave negative thoughts aside.

• Watch this video, and uderstand the physiology behind it.

• If you feel like crying, CRY for 5 minutes, call your BFF, wash your face, and keep going.

• Repeat the following: I’M AWESOME!!!! Repeat it as many times as you want.
