I’m an introverted social butterfly is how I describe it! I can walk up and talk to anyone and have a conversation, but I need to go home and be alone for a bit after hours of socializing.

That is exactly how I am. Sometimes I love being around people and then other times I just want to be alone. Being around people can be really mentally exhausting sometimes! It also depends on the situation with me as well some people think I’m really confident at first and then they realise I’m just really awkward and anxious. Often I come across as shy though

Anyone got any relaxation tips for the night before an exam? I’ve got my last exam tomorrow and I’m so nervous. It feels like there’s just too much content and too little time!

Depends on your situation. If you’ve been studying for your exam relatively consistently over the past couple of weeks, and made good marks on previous tests, then despite what your nerves tell you, you’re probably way more prepared than what your brain is letting you in on. I apply the same concept to perfectionism as well, if I’m worried about my grade dropping below a 3.8 I usually try my best and remind myself that in the grand scheme of things, I’m doing well. That 3.5 isn’t going to hurt anybody.
Also I should probably add that study breaks are insanely important. Coming from a seriously ADD individual, eventually we as people will run into a wall where we can’t push our brains anymore, and we need to distance ourselves and focus on something else. It’s your last final; you’ve been burning the midnight oil for probably a week straight or longer trying to make sure everything’s perfect. In a perfect world, personal time would come after the work is done, but in order to perform your best tomorrow a stress free brain is a clear brain, and stress free comes in the form of a favorite movie and some ice cream.

Thank you so much 
I really appreciate your reply it has made me feel a lot better! I really struggle with exams and also have concentration problems bc dyspraxia rather than ADD so revision is tough! Currently in bed watching YouTube to make me feel more relaxed!

I realized I haven’t posted on this thread yet! (I think I posted on one of the other threads though that was person related?)
It’s so wonderful seeing everybody love for things! I’m a hardcore Hufflepuff as well!!
I wish I could find time/people to get involved in more charity or giving type things but it’s extremely difficult with having two jobs and it seems barely just making it in the actual world haha.
I noticed a favorite soup question? I’m not quite sure I really have one. I enjoy a good homemade chicken noodle! Or really any good homemade soup these days. When I was a kid, italian wedding was definitely my favorite though. =)
Good luck on exams everybody!!! Study hard!!!

My friend of mine whos also my business partner I’ll call Mr: Seven, me and him go around England looking for strange stuff people won’t know what it is on first glance, then i come in and delve into internet holes and book crevices for information on said item so we can then sell it to people who are into lesser talked about antiques like chinese political memorabilia, Occult items, vintage doctors/“Barbers” equipment and general macabre weirdness aha

Question of the week, what’s a hobby you’ve always wanted to pick up but never have?
5 Likes
This is a good question. I’m totally stumped thinking of something…
Immediately what comes to mind is drawing, I’ve picked it up but I wish I spent more time earlier on practicing it.
I’ll sit with the question though and see if there is something I’ve never picked up

Mine is cosplay. It always looked so fun but there’s so much stuff that goes into it that I’d be starting at the very bottom.

Good question!
I’d have to say that aside from the desire to learn how to sword fight, I’ve always wanted to learn how to play piano!
