REMINDER: JUST BECAUSE THE TITLE SAYS, “LAZY,” YOU DON’T HAVE TO STUDY AT ALL. THAT’S INCORRECT.

REMINDER: JUST BECAUSE THE TITLE SAYS, “LAZY,” YOU DON’T HAVE TO STUDY AT ALL. THAT’S INCORRECT. I’m not the “model student” everyone wanted to be, but these made my grades better.

High school is the best thing that happened in my life. I don’t know about the others’, but it’s the most fun part of being a teenager.

These tips are kind of weird in a way. Please do take note that these tips worked for me when I was in high school, but I’m not quite sure if it will work for you as well. Not sure if this will work for college also. Just want to share, I guess.

Discipline and time management. Make the good things you do become your habit.

Know the perfect time and place for you to study. You know yourself better than anyone else. Relax yourself first as you get home. Watch anime, series you like, play some music, draw, take a nap, run. Don’t let stress take over you. Alarming your phone in that ‘study time’ will be helpful as well.

Test yourself on what kind of learner you are. My research teacher let us take this exam to know ourselves and make our grades better. And heck, now I know what to do to understand everything that I’m learning. I’m putting the test links here: (x), (x). There are a lot more online tests around, but here’s the easiest and quick. Tell me what you got! I’m a visual learner.

Get lots of sleep. At least 8 hours (I say, as I only got 5 hours of sleep in those days.) This is the most important thing. At least try your best to sleep a lot or else you’ll get a headache throughout the day and you will not be able to be attentive.But don’t overdo it! If you sleep too long, then you’ll feel sleepy in class, too. That’s bad.

Know your lessons and topics and lectures as if you’re going to be the teacher of your classmates. Teach them if they question you about it. Draw them the diagrams, write the keywords on a paper like you memorized them last night and give it to them. If they get a high score as well in the test and they thank you for that as if saying, “Thanks to you, I got this good score!” then that’s a bonus. That’s the best feeling ever!

Experiment. Those studying tips that are telling you to do this and that so you can memorize the thing better? Use sticky notes? Use washi tapes? Try, good, but get to know yourself on how to make your own system. Not every single thing you see on Tumblr or articles throughout the internet will work for you. Sure, the system works for them, but how about you?If you’re flexible enough, then maybe you can do the system as a habit.

Know your teacher’s style of teaching. This is a bit difficult to explain but I guess you got the hint. Get to know them and observe how they teach you and your classmates. Be attentive. Do they get the questions from the book? From a site? Do you need to give extra attention in their class? And many more.

Finish your tasks no matter how lazy you are to do so. At least try. Find inspiration. I once attended a leadership seminar and the speaker talked about accepting responsibilities and tasks as a leader, and he said that you should accept them because they give them to you because they know that you can do it. They gave it to you because you’re good at it–no, the best to do the task. This comes with group works as well. The leader gave this task to you so that the “product” of your work will be the best. So don’t complain all the time. It doesn’t help, I tell you.

Surround yourself with people who like/pressured/grade conscious people who can be happy-go-lucky at the same time.Yes, there are people who are like that. But why? You’ll get pressured to study as well. Be stressed with school together. We’re all in this together, dude!

Do what you enjoy. Remember this. You like watching tv? Do it. Going to Tumblr? Do it. Don’t force yourself saying, “Doing these things will bring my grades down so I won’t do this,” because that’s wrong. Do what you like in a CERTAIN SCHEDULE. Don’t just stop doing something that you love just because you think that grades are everything because no. You’re young. School is just a part of your life and it wouldn’t be the end of the world.

Have a crush on someone. Well, wow. It worked for me when I’m in school, believe it or not. Find someone you like. Make your crush an inspiration for you to go to school / uni because they are going to be there and you’ll see them. Finish your homework and notes and studies everyday with thinking that, “Tomorrow, this person will be there and I’ll see them in my class. I’ll make them proud of me and recite in discussions and finish this test with a BAM. I’ll get the highest score. I know about this topic a lot. It’s my time to shine.” And it will be like hitting two birds with one stone: 1) Your crush will probably notice you as a hardworking, bright student (oh my) and 2) You get high grades. So get them! I’m not very sure about getting into relationships, though, since I have never been in one. However, I had these two classmates who got the best of test scores all of a sudden when they got into a relationship because they have a reason to go to school and study a lot! Remember rule #1. Make sure that you are disciplined to do this or else you will get distracted from your studies. Relationships and crushes are cool, but don’t let them get in the way of your academia.

tips for treating yoself

body:

Exfoliate once or twice a week.

Let your vagina breathe - don’t wear underwear to bed unless you’re on your period.

Change your pad/tampon/etc at least twice a day.

Don’t wash up inside your vagina (aka douching) it will tip the pH balance in your vagina and you will end up with an infection, you can wash around your thighs/pubic area but that’s it, same applies with perfumes and other body cosmetics.

Use coconut oil its good for so many things!!

Use body butters after getting out of the shower.

Use tea-tree oil for pimples.

Use sunscreen!!!

For people with oily skin - use blotting paper around your eyes and in your T - zone.

Don’t squeeze/pick at pimples - the bacteria on your hands will only make them worse and will create more redness.

Always use moisturiser before applying makeup

When washing your vagina, lift up the clitoral hood and softly rub your finger along the hood to wipe away dead skin cells. If you end up masturbating, fuck it.

Hair:

Wash your hair every 2-3 days. Don’t wash every day because it will make your head dry, try dry shampoos instead.

Use conditioning treatments weekly in the summer to prevent your hair from losing it’s colour.

Brush your curls with your fingers to create a more tousled look.

Before blow drying your hair use volumizing spray or gel on your roots for more definition in your hair.

Use shampoos that are sulfate free as sulfates dry and damage your hair quicker.

If your hair is greasy avoid conditioning the roots, just the ends.

Trim your hair every 6-8 weeks so you have healthy hair and no damaged ends.

Use avacado oil on your hair in the winter to stop your hair from drying out.

Dry shampoo is also very good for volumizing your hair.

The best way to get rid of ingrown hair is to exfoliate.

Avoid dry shaving your pubes, this will cause redness and spots which are easily treated with hydrocortisone cream or aloe vera.

If you are to shave, use conditioner instead of shaving cream - you will get a smoother result - that goes for anywhere you shave.

If you have a big ole mess in your pants try trimming your bush before you shave/wax it.

Waxing HURTS so if you’re dealing with the burns then place a cold towel in the sore area and leave it for about 15 minutes and then apply aloe.

If you experience chest/breast hair the best thing to do is pluck the hairs, it’s painful but rewarding.

Makeup:

Clean your makeup brushes, regularly along with any other makeup appliances (beauty blenders, makeup pads) in a mix of warm water and a little bit of soap.

Use a blotting tissue and then add a small amout of cream concealer onto your eye makeup to prevent smudging.

Matte lipstick goes best with a shimmer eye makeup.

Wearing white eyeliner counteracts the redness in your eyes.

To make your cheekbones appear higher, use bronzer under the cheekbone and highlighter on the actual cheekbone.

In summer if you want to avoid caking yourself with foundation - use tinted moisturiser or BB cream instead.

Always wash your makeup off before going to bed, don’t leave it on.

Always make sure you blend your foundation so your neck isn’t a different colour to your face.

Clean your makeup bag out every once in a while and get rid of any products you don’t use - its cleaner, tidier and more hygienic.

Always make sure you have tape and q-tips handy. Tape is great for a perfect winged eyeliner and q-tips are great for cleaning and tidying up those hard to reach areas.

Concealer works great for a base for your eye makeup as the makeup will stick to it.

Using highlighter and illuminators on your cheekbones, browbone and cupid’s bow for a “dewy look”.

When using cream products like eyeshadow or blush - use translucent powder to set it in place.

Kat Von-D lipstick is blow job proof :)

Replace mascara and eyeliners every 3 months or so.

Don’t share makeup/appliances for your eyes, it may cause infections like conjunctivitis and maybe a sty.

Blot your lips after applying lipstick to avoid getting lipstick teeth.

General:

Change your bra every 5-11 days.

Always make sure your feet are dry before putting on socks and shoes to prevent fungal infections.

Wash blood stained clothes in cold water with 2 tablespoons of salt.

Try your own homemade beauty recipes.

If you peel/lick your lips it will damage them, don’t do that.

Applying eye cream on the cuticles of your nails will make them stronger and healthier.

Always carry tampons/pads even when you’re not on your period, someone else might need them.

Clean out your purse!! Get rid of all that junk and you will thank yourself next time you’re looking for something.

Masturbate. Whenever you can, it’s rewarding and good for you. (yes girls masturbate too).

Always pee after sex/masturbation to help avoid getting a UTI.

Bio-oil is good for stretch marks (as well as loving them).

Save some nice underwear for yourself and just wear your dead old pants when you’re on your period.

Buy yourself some nice underwear/lingerie whenever you can. Make sure it’s 100% cotton though otherwise you can get a yeast infection.

Test yourself every once in a while for STDs. It’s necessary.

Carry a condom on you, it’s not just the guy’s responsibility.

Apply a damp tissue to blotchy, red skin after crying, it will make you look as if you haven’t been crying at all.

Don’t let boys ruin your day.

Use a paperclip to clip the back of your bra straps together to create a racerback bra.

Wrap a maxi pad or pantyliner around any poking underwires in your bra.

Wash your pillow case every 1-2 weeks to help prevent acne.

Cucumbers are good for dark circles and puffy eyes just place a slice over your eyes and leave for about 15 minutes.

treat and love yourself and your body will reward you!!!
