Just walked out of my Latin exam and caught myself going through the questions against my notes and asking AI to predict my score ðŸ˜
Stopped myself. That's probably the worst thing you can do mid exam season. The paper is done. You cannot change a single mark on it. Every minute you spend replaying it is a minute you're not preparing for the next one (is what I told myself)
Your only job right now is the next exam so although it might be hard and its easy to ruminate, don't let one exam ruin them all.
The most asked question on my 'study with me streams' is "I have exams in 5 days, what should I do?"
The answer is simple. Do.
Not plan to do. Not ask what to do. Not watch videos about doing.
Do.
Open a past paper. Start the timer. Answer the question. Mark it. Fix the gap. Repeat.
Action is the antidote to anxiety. The students who will ace their exams in 5 days aren't the ones with the best plan. They're the ones who stopped thinking about it and started, that's what you should do right now. Do. Do. Do.
It's the last day of January already! At the start of the year I asked you to set goals and really lock in for 2026.
So be honest with me, how’s it actually been going so far?
Because here’s something interesting.
Research shows that around 80% of people abandon their New Year’s resolutions by February. Not because they’re lazy or incapable, but because life happens. Motivation dips. School gets busy. You miss a few days and suddenly it feels like you failed.
Ngl, 2026 hasn't gone off to a perfect start for me either, but here's the thing:
Getting off track is not failure.
Think of your goals like a GPS (let me cook)
You set a destination at the start of the year. Then at some point, you miss a turn. Or take a wrong exit. Or stop paying attention for a bit.
Does the GPS give up on you?
No. It just says: Recalculating
It doesn’t judge you, nor does it say you took a wrong turn.
It just redirects you back toward where you wanted to go.
Your goals work the same way.
If January didn’t go how you planned, that doesn’t disqualify you from having a great year. It just means you’re recalculating. And you can do that any day, not just January 1st.
So
– What goal did you set at the start of the year? – Are you still moving toward it, even slowly? – And if not… what’s one small turn you could make this week to get back on route?
You don’t need a perfect restart. You just need a redirection.
I’m still cheering you on, and I genuinely believe 2026 can still be one hell of a year for you and myself, no matter how the first part’s gone.
Let me know in the comments how you’re doing. I’m reading them all <333
Firstly, congratulations. Whether 2025 went fantastically for you, or maybe it could have been better, none of that matters because now it's 2026!
Sure, the best time to start your academic comeback or locking in might have been 6 months ago, but the second best time is now.
I have a really really good feeling about this year, and I know things will go well for you.
Whether you're like me concluding a chapter of your life (end of year 13 holy unc 🥀), or you're just excited for the new year and the events yet to unfold, let's make this year different:)
I'll keep my wisdom short and sweet in this post; I made this post last year and the year before, but what I found really makes the difference is just this:
Set New Years Goals. Seriously, only 40% of people actually set them, which is a crazy statistic. So sit down, take 30 minutes mapping out your year.
What are some things you want to achieve so so badly?
What are the things you must do everyday to achieve that?
What are some things that you think could get in the way of achieving that (probably the darn phone)
And lastly, what are the things you must do so that in a year's time, on the 1st of December 2027, you can look back and smile that 2026 was one hell of a year.
Goals transform a random walk into a chase.
I will be cheering your on, and I hope we can make 2026 the best together (keep watching my videos ily!)

The panic you'll feel in three weeks is optional. What you do this week determines whether it shows up.

Something nobody tells you about exam season.
Everyone talks about revision techniques. Flashcards, past papers, Pomodoro timers.
But the thing that actually separates students who perform from those who don't isn't technique. It's how they handle the two weeks before the exam.
Because that's when most people either lock in or fall apart.
Here's what I've noticed: the students who do best aren't the ones who suddenly study 10 hours a day in the final stretch.
They're the ones who stay calm, keep their routine, and trust the work they've already put in.
Panic studying in the final days is like trying to fill a leaking bucket. You pour more in, but the anxiety means it just leaks out faster.
So if you're heading into exam season right now, here's the only thing I'd tell you:
Don't change your system. Trust it. Refine it, yes. But don't blow it up and start from scratch because you're scared.
You've put in the work. Now let it show.
How are your exams looking this year? What subject are you most nervous about? Let me know below, I'm reading all of them.
Ps. make sure you're sleeping 2l a day and drinking 8 hours of water
