A huge welcome back! It is great to see you are here with us again.
Would you like to tell us about your interests or what you study?
How are you feeling about things, and especially your finals which are coming up?
Finals can be stressful but please make sure you also make time for yourself
I like reading novels, anime, drawing, music and things like that. And I'm currently studying accounting and business related subjects.
I'm a bit stressed about my finals because covid had a really bad impact on my studying in the past year but ig I'll manage. I'm trying not to stress too much on it but things get difficult at things so yeah I'm trying my best
You are really welcome. Though, you have nothing to thank me for! I am just getting to know you as you are a member of our wonderful community.
Ooh, music is one of my interests too! What sort of music do you like? My music interest is vast! It ranges between Bring Me the Horizon and Eminem to Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran and some country music too.
Would you like to talk about in which sense COVID has impacted your studying in the past year? I know it has. For instance, my own degree has been fully remote. However, knowing specifically how could help me to provide you with some suggestions.
Doing your best is all that can be expected and you are doing so well. You are showing so much persistence in caring about your finals. You have already come so far because you are determined!
Keep pushing forwards. Do remember to care about you too though
Your interest in music is really cool! I love all those artists you named. Though I might not be much fun of country music. I do listen to alot of pop and metal and sometimes edm. I like to listen to songs in different languages even though I dont understand them lol
Actually I dropped out of school before covid started and then came the lockdown so I couldn't get admission in the school I wanted to, so I ended up being homeschooled. I found homeschooling very difficult but I didn't have much of choice because the lockdown lasted quite longer than expected. Two years of homeschooling later I now have my finals and I'm not very confident about it.
I'll remember to take out time for myself while preparing for the finals. I hope you are doing well too
Thanks for your response. I am good thank you. Sorry to hear you have been on a rollercoaster!
What a vast range of music you like too. Oh, do you like songs like Little Mix - Reggaeton Lento and Justin Bieber Despacito? If so, they are cool, aren't they!
Again, I am sorry to hear you have been on a rollercoaster with your education. If it helps, my Masters degree is in education (with a focus on special educational needs and disabilities). I will help you in any way I can!
I guess to start with, to feel somewhat more confident, I would suggest making a list of all the topics you have studied so far. You could colour code this list of topics according to your confidence levels. For example, red for the topics you are feeling the least confident about, amber for the topics you have some confidence about but you feel you could benefit from going over again and green for the topics you are feeling the most confident about. You could then prioritise.
With this list, you could revise the topics in a range of ways depending on how you learn best. This could include quizzes, mindmaps, watching YouTube videos, making things and listening to podcasts, etc. Then you will need to simply know you have done your best. Your best is more than good enough and make sure you have lots of sleep the night before each final!
I believe in you. I know you can do this
I love both the songs!! Though I haven't heard them recently, they both kinda give me nostalgic feelings. Lately I have been listening to Italian and Russian songs and they are just awesome.
Using different color codes is a great idea! And I never thought I could do that too! So thank you so much for the idea.
Again thank you for your kind words
Aww, they sound awesome. Would you like to share one that you like the most with us? I will give it a listen!
I hope the tip helps but if you need any more suggestions please just ask! Always more than happy to help if I can
Thank you for your kindness too. Kindness matters
I like this Italian band named måneskin, their sing "zitti e buoni" is really cool and also I love this Russian song named Возможно (it means maybe in English) by My.
The tip is very helpful as I started trying it today. I will ask for help if I'll need to! Thank you!!
Heyy @gia9720
Thanks you!!
Thanks so much. I am looking forward to exploring this music
Really glad to hear my tip helped. How are you feeling today?
How are you doooing???
Welcome back, glad to hear from you again!
I'm doing good! I had a really great day! Though I didn't get much study done today still today was fun.
How have you both been?
I am really glad to hear you are good and had a great day
It is all about the balance in life! Not studying every day is okay
I am good thank you
