A Midnight Ritual if You Cannot Sleep Because You Are Worrying About a Confrontation or Crisis in the Morning

You will need:

A dark-blue candle

A small bowl of salt

Paper and a pen

A bowl of soil

A small, lidded plastic container

A blue pen

Timing:

Midnight, called the time of the dark sun, indoors or in the garden.

The spell:

Light the candle and, looking into the flame, say: “The dark sun across the word does shine, but let all be peaceful in this place of mine.”

Sprinkle a few grains of salty into the flame, saying: “The sun will rise again at dawn, ‘til then I consign all fear ‘till morn.”

On the paper, write over and over again the fears and the worries that are troubling you. Tear off just a corner and singe it in the candle flame. (Have a bowl of soil ready in case it catches fire.)

Extinguish the candle, and put the folded paper and the singed corner, burned or not, into a small plastic container in the freezer.

Dispose of the plastic container and its contents the next morning.

my quick tips for online classes and exams

💻 DURING ONLINE CLASS SESSIONS:

- find a good spot with enough light and stable wifi (if you multiple options, select the one that would make you most comfortable, most focused, and confident enough to take online tests/quizzes/exams at - you will need good wifi for these too!)

- study at a desk, if possible (this tip is popular for a reason. studying at a desk, with good posture, mimics the feeling of being in a classroom or the library. thus, it will help you focus better - especially during virtual classes)

- accommodate yourself (not just with comfort, but also with actual necessities that you cannot get or too embarrassed to get in your usual classroom/library. stress balls, stim toys, positivity cards, calming music/candles. comforting plushies. as long as it helps you focus better, it’s on the table)

- try to treat online classes the same as an in-person class, especially time-wise (if your teachers/professors live-stream the lessons, great! just don’t skip class. if not, try to set a specific time for each class. even better, study for your classes at the same time they used to be held. this will create a sense of routine and trigger the brain’s normal reactions to your usual class - which is to study)

- get dressed (prioritize focus and routines. put on your normal outfits, uniforms and even perfume. trick your mind into being focused)

- minimize distractions (declutter your study space. put your phone out of reach. turn off notifications. close all other tabs on your browser - this can reduce lagging too. select non-distracting or overpowering music. restrain from eating or snacking. don’t spam or pay attention to spams in your classes’ chatboxes. only bring along items that are absolutely vital to your focus)

- take notes, even if you can record your lessons and/or access the lessons later (writing things down enhances your memory of it. it will also force you to focus and prevent you from zoning out/ being distracted)

- if possible, put your teachers/profs on the big screen to create the illusion of being in a lecture (if your study spot has a TV/projector that can connect to your laptop and quality speakers, do it. it’s more fun than you’d think)

- be actively engaged in the lecture (if there are technical problems or if you have questions, chatbox away. this is also good practice for people with social anxiety too: the fact that you are in your home and behind the screen can make it easier for you to ask for help)

- give yourself breaks between classes (don’t cram all your classes in one morning. but don’t procrastinate either. time your breaks)

💻 REVIEWING FOR ONLINE CLASSES:

- textbooks are your best friend (especially when your classes’ live-streams are just chaotic and hard to follow. practice speed reading. look for keywords and crucial information. take notes rather than highlighting everything. compare them to your lecture notes, your syllabus, or your friends’)

- take advantage of the online format (revisit videos and podcasts. check your classes forum for questions or announcements. listen to your lecture when you’re cleaning or exercising. study at your own pace and in your own style. basically anything you wish you could do when your class was in-person)

- don’t be afraid to email the profs/teachers (compile all of your questions into a list. be as specific as you can about your concerns. put a subject for your email to reduces the chance of your email getting lost in your instructors’ inbox.)

- take time to know your learning style (when are you most focused? most energetic? are you a visual or an auditory learner? do you need to be active? what drinks or scents or sounds keep you going? you don’t always get this chance to study however you want)

- submit assignments at your own pace - but make a schedule/ set alarms to avoid forgetting to turn them in (for overthinkers like me, turning things in “early” for me is extremely anxiety-inducing. take your time to double-check or edit your work - as long as the submission box is still open, of course. so remember to start working on them early)

- reward yourself (don’t stress yourself out by rewarding big accomplishments. reward small victories. reward baby steps. reward effort. you’ll get things done eventually)

- and more tips on productivity at home in my last post right here

💻 PREPARING FOR AND TAKING ONLINE EXAMS / QUIZZES:

- again, find a good spot with good wifi, good lighting, and a desk (if possible, try to recreate your ideal exam environment as closely as you can while studying and reviewing for the exams. this can reduce the anxiety of tests and/or unfamiliarity)

- be prepared for technical difficulties (plan out a course of action to take if they ever arise. draft an email template. research in advance the contacts of people whom you can report to - IT personnel, your instructors, student office, etc.)

- bring everything you need to the exams - but no distractions (like mentioned earlier, if you need any special accommodations that are not considered “acceptable” in an in-person exam/quiz, now it’s the time to bring them along. the last online exam I took, I had a cupcake ready on my desk because I tend to use up more energy when I’m stressed/anxious. however, I always cut my music and put my phone away for optimal focus mode)

- plan your desk set-up prior to your exams (plan where you want to put your notes, textbooks, calculators or scrap paper. charge your laptop. sharpen your pencils. have your backup pens or calculators handy. lay out everything you need onto your desk the night before your tests. it can reduce anxiety too)

- make cheatsheets (the goals when making them are simple: (1) get you to rewrite your notes for that good memorization; (2) condense your information and find a connection between them for a thorough understanding of the materials; (3) reduce the time you use to flip through your notebooks or textbooks or google for information during the actual tests)

- actually study instead of relying on the quizzes/ exams being open-book (this goes hand in hand with the previous point. at the very least, it will help you ace your exams better by saving you all the time and trouble you spend looking for an equation you probably should have already known)

- time yourself with mock exams (if you are given mock exams to practice with, do them, with a timer. this will help you familiarize yourself with the stress of being timed, thus reducing your anxiety during the actual tests)

- get enough sleep and eat properly (even if the exams or quizzes are online, they are still, at their core, tests. and tests are always stressful and energy-consuming. so take care of both your physical and mental health)

Feel free to add your own tips. And good luck to everyone with the (online) exam season coming near 🍀 I believe in you!

Halloween/Autumn Movie Masterpost

It includes both movies and TV series, and it spans from cozy to mildly scary. I left out all major horror movies that have gore and graphic violence because I wanted to make a list that I can actually enjoy (I hate gore… and zombies)… and all the halloween movie lists I found are always focused on that.

As of today (sept.12) I’m working on a second part because I realized I left out a lot of stuff (including Charmed and Buffy… shame on me). It may take a while…

Also, I’m done with people insulting me about not putting up trigger warnings. This is just a movie list: if you want to avoid specific scenes, google the title you’re interested in and see if it’s appropriate for you. I’m not responsible for what you decide to watch. I won’t tolerate more comments of that sort.
