8 Tips for Students to get Motivated
Some students appear to be lazy and tend to procrastinate in doing their tasks. Lack of motivation is the problem here.
One key strategy for a student to keep moving is a source of motivation. It is rarely hard to cope with this thing if you don’t have enough source of it. Without this, it takes a lot of effort to do such things as assignments, projects, and other requirements ahead of time.
Motivation would be the best factor to eliminate this hindrance for students. So, here are the tips that might help you to get motivated.
1. Get a planner
I always find having a planner a helpful way to get motivated. Through listing things that you have to do will help you to be guided and to keep in touch with your plans. By this, you will be persuaded and eager to get things done effectively.
2. Have yourself a treat
You can have yourself a bonus even before or after doing your tasks to get motivated. It would be effective to get motivated if you treat yourself. Don’t get too stressed out you’ve got to get that treat after doing your tasks. Thus, you will be more determined by getting that little treat you aim for.
3. Get things done creatively
It does sound weird, but I find this tip as a helpful way for fulfilling your desired goal by getting things done creatively. You can add stuff to your work. By adding some additional colorful designs and glitters to spice up your work, you will enjoy doing it. In doing it creatively, you’re not just motivated to do your desired task, but you’re also having fun without even noticing it. Just add a little glow and you’re good to work.
4. Set your ambiance with a good mood
There is nothing that could destroy an awful situation but a good mood. All you have to do is just chill. You can have a cup of coffee, tea, or anything that will allow you to relax. You can also go to a place where it is peaceful, and you can be alone. After doing it, you’re now ready to do that heavy load of tasks.
5. Think of happy thoughts
The first thing to do is to get rid of bad thoughts. Just think about the good one. Remember the happy memories or even funny moments that would make you laugh and probably overcome anxiety. Another way is not to over-think. In addition to that, you may come up with a thought of questions that might intimidate you. So, just be positive to avoid thinking random thoughts.
6. Focus on your goals
Another thing to get motivated is to focus on your goals. It is a great inspiration to keep you moving- to know your inspiration. Goals that will keep you on track will do. If you wanted to get that degree you are aiming for, then go, focus on it. Set it as one of your inspirations.
7. Aim for the best
Aiming for the best might be difficult. But, why not? Just try for it. There’s no harm in trying. Just think that you’re doing it for yourself and your loved ones. The purpose of this is to become the best version of who you are right now. Know the price you are getting.
8. Always look forward
Just look forward and recall the past experiences that made you a better person today. A bright future is just ahead of you. It is up to you to continue what you have started. Never be afraid to fail, because failing is just part of the process. You know with yourself that you can do it. Believe and you can.
These are the tips or ideas for students to get motivated. I hope you learned some from these tips and have fun applying it too.

5 COVID Friendly Virtual Social Meet Ideas
It’s been more than one full year since most of the world has entered lockdown. Ever since, we’ve been living in the state of slow-reopen, quick lockdown again on repeat. Honestly, it feels almost impossible to get meetings with friends.
If you are like us, you are missing out on social life. But also, you might be worried about getting the virus. Vaccine rollout is great, but it’s still some months until we can finally be free. Here are 5 tips on how to meet your friends in these crazy times.
Zoom Drinking Party
The simplest one. Pick a time, maybe do an event on Facebook so everyone remembers. All of you need to go out beforehand and get some drinks ready. You got your drinks, got zoom, and the event is about to start.
Once you enter the meeting room, you will have all your friends in one place. You guys can start sipping your drinks, talking to each other, and having fun. We have to admit it’s weird at first. There is some getting used to this form of communication. Usually, it’s only possible to speak one-by-one.
Today, we are through quite a lot of these virtual social gatherings. Yes, it’s not like meeting in real life, but it’s better than nothing. We’ve got used to the format, and we are pros at drinking together, yet apart.
Play some Among Us!
Videogame, Among Us!, has gathered quite a following these days. It’s safe to say, that the whole COVID craze only added to the already big following. Today it’s super popular and even politicians play it.
It’s the perfect game to play together. Accusations, lies, co-operation. Literally has everything that real-life does compress into a short burst. Laughter and happiness are guaranteed.
Cooking Show
Arrange a cooking show! Everyone has their own favorite recipe, that they can make well. Let’s be honest, we all love to show off our amazing cooking skills. This is the opportunity.
Each gathering, take turns on who will lead. The person leading, will show and cook the recipe, while the others will cook it by following. It’s fun! Everyone will have their turn to teach some great meals to friends, and you will have a great end product to enjoy.
Quiz Party
Similar to the ‘Cooking Show’ you will have to take turns on this one. At each meeting, someone will provide the quiz. You can have themed quizzes like ‘action movies’ or general trivia as well. To make it even more interesting, implement a scoring system to keep track between rounds, and have an end winner.
You can go old fashioned and say the questions out loud, while others write their answers on a piece of paper. Another way is to use something like Kahoot! where everyone joins on their smartphones. Honestly, while Kahoot! is great, it’s also fast-paced. It can take out the humor and reactions from a well-thought-out quiz, as people simply won’t have time to react and discuss questions.
Watch Sporting Events Together
One of the fun things we like to do is starting a group call when sporting events start. We grab our usual snacks and drinks and make sure that we have everyone on the phone.
During the game, we talk and discuss whatever is happening on the screen. At times people like to join, even if they are not watching. It’s great banter and good for your social life. One funny thing that always happens is unsynchronized TV. Some people will already cheer on what’s happening on their screen, while your display lags behind some seconds.

Pippy Pants: Pants that have socks sewed onto them
I admit some people come up with the weirdest stuff. This is such a product. Pants for kids, that have the socks attached. It is supposedly good because the socks are not lost this way.
The woman behind this idea is Katy Prushiek. She is an entrepreneur and mother at once. Her experience as a mother inspired her to create this product. Her young son has always struggled with the socks. They just wanted to fall off. Fear no more. Meet Pippy Pants.
This all in one pair of pants. It’s pants. But it’s also socks. The design makes it impossible to lose the socks. It’s also a closed design, so no cold will get through at the bottom of the pants. When Katy created this product, she has spent a good time making it fashionable. Pippy Pants are trendy and they look great. Durability was also a great concern. When making Pippy Pants, only the best materials are used. This ensures great durability and longevity of the product.
If I’m honest, I doubt that the product will catch on. We will have to see how this plays out, but for me, the whole socks situation seems like a non-issue.

4 Useful Tips to Easy Stress and Anxiety
Every person is feeling increased levels of stress and anxiety as the amount of strain in their lives rises. The estrogen and hormones coursing through our bodies will have a huge effect on our anxiety and stress rates.
This may induce nausea, palpitations, and a number of other uncomfortable symptoms that leave you feeling nervous. Allowing your mind and body to connect is the only way to alleviate this, as there is no reason to be trapped by these obstacles.
Reduce Your Caffeine Intake
Caffeine, which can be present in both tea and coffee, has been shown to raise tensions. Different individuals have different tolerance levels for different amounts of quantity. Make sure the caffeine level should not exceed the recommended amount.
It can also be harmful to your health if you consume more than you should. Anything in balance is good, and controlling your caffeine intake will help you see a change in your stress levels. If you’re a coffee addict who still suffers from depression and anxiety, it’s time to take a break from the caffeine.
Sleep Well
Sleeping patterns have a big influence on the quantity of stress and anxiety that an individual may feel. Your body can become absolutely drained as a result, making you feel slow and lazy. Regulating sleeping habits is the most effective way to combat it.
Make absolutely sure you get enough sleep every night as part of your daily routine. Once you wake up from a good night’s sleep, the brain is in better shape to function. Most of the time, it leaves you safe and stress-free. It gives you energy boosters so you can take care of your fear one move at a time.
Try Exercise
This is something we’ve known for a long time. Exercising causes the body to release feel-good hormones that increase your mindset and relieve tension in your mind. To do this, you don’t need to waste hours at the gym.
To hold anxiety at bay, begin by spending twenty to thirty minutes a day on some kind of physical exercise. Exercise raises levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate, which helps people feel less anxious and depressed. Do you have a lot of anxiety? Simply put on your shoes and go for a walk to feel better!
Quality Alone Time
That is what we seldom do, and we seldom give it proper consideration. This will assist you in gathering your ideas and ensuring that they are directed in a certain direction.
Grab a sheet of paper and write down whatever is on your mind every now and then. It may be beneficial or harmful; just write it down. Then take some time to think about it and work out what caused those feelings. This is a brilliant way to examine the method and figure out ways to avoid negative stress-inducing feelings.
