a collection of some of my favorite jonghyun quotes

for anyone who might need him right now.

• “time goes by. it’s just slower when you are having a hard time. if you try to enjoy the time, everything will be alright.”

• “there’s no such thing as useless emotion.”

• “it’s fine if you hurt a little. it’s fine if you fall.”

• “even if you don’t gain strength today, it’s alright to gain strength even tomorrow. i wanted to say that it’s okay, even if you have been worn out and had a hard time for as long as a month. please gain strength tomorrow! it’ll be fine as long as you gain strength when you feel like it.”

• “i’ll make everyone a promise. when you’re sad, i’ll cry together with you. if you’re happy, i’ll be even happier for you. i will do anything using my small, little effort to stand beside everone.”

• “cry out loud once. look at the mirror and shake it off. i’ve cried like that before and others will have times like that too. cheer up, you’re not alone.”

• “i think it’s okay to feel lost in your life. i think it’s okay to not reach that final goal (in your life). you may earn things while being lost or could make something out of it through the emotions you feel. i think it should be your judgement. you don’t have to make someone else judge the satisfaction of your life. i hope that you don’t feel too anxious about feeling lost in your life.”

• “when your tears are falling, just let them shed. i wish you’ll think of it as if that weight inside your heart is getting out of your body drop by drop.”

• “is there anyone out there that is crying alone tonight? not crying out of pity for something or someone, but instead because they cannot help asking why they are living in the way that they are? is there anyone that is feeling sentimental or guilty, needlessly? don’t be like that. i hope that you believe that these bitter days of crying alone will prove to be the most beautiful days of your life. you’ll realize, with time, that your life is actually pretty alright. i promise you. in fact, i’ll write you a guarantee! the most beautiful thing in all the world is right now. this moment. you. don’t ever forget that.”

• “life is a series of encounters and farewells. i believe we grow in the process. for now, it is very sad but we will meet again. we can hope for that day to come soon, and we will be able to greet each other with (a) much bigger welcome.”

how to study when you REALLY don’t want to

we’ve all been there. You have a paper due in the morning, it’s 10 pm, and you’re sitting at your desk, feeling dead. Or maybe it’s 3 pm, and you’re just SO overwhelmed with an endless to do list and so many pages to read or annotate or take notes on that you just think,

screw it. I just won’t do anything.

Listen, I get it. I understand. I LOVE learning, but I often find myself bogged down by homework, that incessant, painful reminder that you’re being forced to learn. Nobody likes that.

So below are some of my tips for studying, especially when you really, really don’t feel like doing it.

What’s your absolute dream school? Columbia? That’s amazing. Harvard? Incredible. Florida State? Awesome. Wherever you want to be in two years- whether it be college, grad school, teaching, etc. Picture yourself learning in your dream learning environment, doing what you love the most. Maybe for you, that daydream means picturing yourself in a New York City coffee shop, working on Literature homework from Barnard College. Or maybe it means cramming biology in a crowded, raucous library at UMass. Whatever makes you get excited about learning- take the fuel you feel from those daydreams and use it to fan the flames of your love for learning.

Treat every single class like it’s your absolute favorite class ever. Listen. I don’t care if you have the shittiest teacher on planet earth. I don’t care if you couldn’t give less of a fuck about quantum physics or functions or whatever. You have the privilege and the opportunity to learn anything and everything, and we could all do good to stop taking that for granted. Treat AP Calculus like it’s your favorite subject EVER, even when- especially when it feels like pulling teeth. But how? You might be asking. The secret is that it’s really, really not that hard. There are so many ways to motivate yourself to do that subject you’ve been putting off for days, and you know it!! Use studyblr to find inspiration for That Subject™, make a study group, trap yourself in your dorm/library/coffee shop until you just finish one problem set, just START. Chances are when you see other people being productive and getting shit done in that subject (cough studyblr cough) you’ll want to do it too.

Eat, sleep, and live. Listen to me: you HAVE to stop killing yourself to do more school. Your to-do list ISN’T GOING TO JUST GO AWAY. There’s always going to be things you have to do and things you could be stressed about. But stress, school, and homework are not excuses to abandon self-care, friendships and having a social life. Go out with your friends! Go to the movies! Go to that football game! Get the important stuff done and stop worrying about your endless list! Having somewhere to go will motivate you to get done faster, and you’re going to feel a lot better after going out and having fun than sitting at home alone procrastinating. Chances are, you’ll be more energized to get some work done too.

Pay attention to what your body’s telling you. Switch out midnight iced lattes for smoothies and fruit. Eat lots of food that makes you feel good, healthy and fulfilled. Stop snacking on the same 4 chips every time you study and start learning how to fuel your body and your brain. If you know you can’t eat a full breakfast before school, find things you can eat, and I mean MORE THAN JUST COFFEE STRAIGHT FROM THE POT. Track what you eat for an entire week, and I mean EVERYTHING. Track your water intake, coffee intake, and soda intake. On top of food tracking, also track your mood, productivity, and overall feeling of wellbeing. At the end of the week, see what’s up! Look for patterns, dehydration, food inconsistencies, gross stuff you eat a lot, things you want to change, all of it. And then actually MAKE THE CHANGES.

I know I’m going to sound like your mom friend here, but that’s kind of what I am, so: drink👏🏻more👏🏻water👏🏻!!!!!!! I cannot STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!!!!! FUEL YOUR BODY!!! YOU WILL FEEL BETTER!!!

in conclusion…

- picture yourself learning in your dream learning environment

- picture the payoff, you doing what you want to do - nursing or teaching or building fancy ass AI robotos or whatever it is

- do NOT take your education for granted!!!! learning is such an opportunity and not everyone gets it

- treat yourself like a normal human being. take care of yourself. shower. eat.

- pay attention to your body. pay attention to what you need. pay attention to what you WANT

- drink your water, listen to some jazz, and just start somewhere.

- small progress is still progress
