Awwww Yiss 

The Night Before Your Exam

Hello, hi there. Recently I made a post about what to do the day of your exam and it’s still getting notes which is amazing. Thank you all. So now, please enjoy these realistic tips for the night before your exam that do not involve perfum, gum, or cramming. Please don’t cram.

Get a good night’s sleep. I know that for many of us this is a major challenge because we deal with insomnia or anxiety disorders that keep us awake. Try taking a warm bath in Epsom salts. Stay in the tub until you break a sweat. Pick your salts wisely because some of them are more energizing (i.e lavender salts are more energizing I have found).

If you are having trouble sleeping because of tension in your neck/back, try to relieve the tension by rolling out your muscles on the floor, or conciously tensing them up for about 10-20 seconds before slowing releasing. The Epsom salt bath really helps with any sort of tension. I have chronic nerve pain from a car accident and it’s one of the few things that help me that is more holistic.

Don’t shy away from melatonin. It works wonders and you won’t feel “hung over” in the morning like you may with Z-Quil. They have melatonin gummies too!

Try lowering your body temperature. Sleep naked. It’s life changing. If you can’t sleep naked (because you live in a dorm) still do your best to keep it cool. Our bodies get tired when their temps are lower.

Additionally, do not cram for any exam. The night before your exam is not the time to be learning any new material. We are way past that. Gently refresh the material that you already know; however, do focus on items you may struggle with. Remember, althetes don’t go crazy hard the day before a game - treat your brain the same way; no heavy lifting.

You may take this time to rewrite your notes. It’s a simple act that can definitely help you to remember.

Try teaching the material to someone else, or if no one else is available - stand in the mirror and give your own personal TedTalk on the subject. Hey, if it works for Sims, right? Remember that if you can teach the material, you know it. Reiterating in your own words is so helpful.

This should go without saying, but eat a good dinner.

Use the “Match,” “Test,” and “Spell” functions on Quizlet. Very helpful.

Have I said do not cram yet?

Lay out your clothes for the morning. The fewer decisions the better.

You’re going to want to wake up with enough time to review your study materials a couple more times, get ready for the day, and leave for the exam early (so that you have time to review when you get there and to ensure you are on time!) So set your alarm in advance.

Make sure that you set out your blue book, calculator, etc. so that you are prepared for the exam tomorrow and you aren’t sprinting across campus to find somewhere that sells blue books.

Triple check that alarm.

Try to limit your use of electronics 30 minutes before you need to fall asleep. I know that isn’t always reasonable though. Just make sure your phone is plugged in so that it is well charged and ON when you need that alarm to go off.

Drink some water.

Don’t drink any coffee or other caffeinated beverage/over induldge in nicotine/or take your *prescription!!!* adderall after 8 PM. Really for the Adderall don’t take it after like 5:30. You will be up all night long, my friend.

Okay last time: do not cram for any exam. That’s like over extertion for your brain and it will take you time to recover. If you continuously pull all nighters to cram you will crash and burn eventually. So just start early on your study plan. You can make time for it, I promise.

Happy studying, realistic students!

“Growing up, I always assumed I would go into space. But I knew full well that people expected me to behave a certain way. I bucked the system. I don’t want mothers sayin’ ‘put that mud down, stop doing the because you’re going to ruin your dress.’ You get dirty sometimes. Who cares? You cannot do some of these things and keep your hair all nice.”—Mae Jemison

Today’s TechMAKER reached for the stars and then some. Mae Jemison saw the gender and racial discrimination in space exploration, but that didn’t stop her from becoming the very first African-American woman in space.

Hi! I was wondering if you could give me a few tips on how to tell what’s the mbti type of a person without having to tell them to take the test! Thanks!

The most important thing you can do is listen to what they say instead of look at what they do.

Do they frequently mention how important they think it is to pay attention to what has and hasn’t worked in the past?  Do they find tradition comforting?  Are they good with details?  Most likely high Si and low Ne.

Are they great at brainstorming?  Do they love to look at things in a new light?  Can they see multiple ways of looking at many things?   Do they enjoy talking about far-flung, unrealistic ideas just because they’re interesting?  Most likely high Ne and low Si.

Are they good at knowing how events will develop?  Do they plan far into the future and fixate on a goal that is important to them?  Do they look for meaning and symbolism in things?  Most likely high Ni and low Se.

Are they great at jumping on opportunities?  Do they love physical thrills and material comforts?  Are they present, paying attention to what is going on around them?  Are they impatient and action-oriented, preferring to be spontaneous than to come up with a detailed plan?  Most likely high Se and low Ni.

Are they great at noticing logical inconsistencies?  Do they ask a lot of “why” questions and enjoy knowing how things work and why things are the way they are?  Do they often question the accuracy of the information they are given and refuse to accept anything that does not make sense to them?  Most likely high Ti and low Fe.

Do they often mention how important it is to help others?  Are they great at making other people feel at ease in social situations?  Do they express their feelings, opinions, and emotions in the moment?  Do they tend to focus on the group and encouraging everyone in it?  Most likely high Fe and low Ti.

Do they seem passionate and emotional but at the same time reserved in some way?  Do they have difficulty putting how they feel into words and need time to think before talking about it?  Do they often mention how important it is to them to have personal freedom and do what they believe is right?  Most likely high Fi and low Te.

Are they great at making plans and getting things done fast?  Are they impatient, competitive, and hard-working?  Do they often focus on accomplishing things the most efficient and logical way regardless of who gets offended?  Most likely high Te and low Fi.

Pick the two above that best fit the person you are trying to type and then think about whether the high extroverted function or high introverted function fits them better.  That should leave you with one type.  Hope this helps! :)

MBTI as Monty Python and The Holy Grail Quotes

INFP: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

ESTJ: Now go away or I will taunt you a second time

ENFJ: (After noticing that he has no limbs left) All right, we’ll call it a draw.

INFJ: Our King? Well I didn’t vote for you!!

ESFP: Your Mother was a Hamster, and your Father smelt of Elderberries!

ENTJ: Oh, stop your whining. First we kill him, then we have biscuts and tea.

ISTJ: WHAT is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

ISTP: Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out!

ISFJ: Oh, look. There’s some lovely filth over here.

ENTP: Help, I’m being oppressed. Come and see the violence inherent in the system.

ESFJ: ‘Tis but a scratch.

INTJ: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony.

ENFP: “What is your favourite colour?”

Red!… I mean blue! (falls down the crevice screaming)

INTP: It’s not a question of where he grips it! It’s a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

ESTP: What are you going to do, bleed on me?

ISFP: On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
