- Hey, friends!
So today, I have tried my best
to look as intellectual as possible.
Is it working?
I don't know.
You can say no if you want to, it's fine.
So today, I thought I would do a little bit
of an advice Q and A with you guys.
So many of you guys are going back
to school, college, and university, and believe it or not,
this little sweet potato has done all three.
So, I feel as though I've got enough experience
to help you guys with all the questions you've been asking.
And I'm gonna answer them,
and hopefully it can help you guys out a little bit.
So let's get rolling.
(cheerful music)
Someone asked me what I would have
in my emergency school kit,
and I have about four things that I would
definitely carry with me at all times.
The first one, tampons.
Even if you're not a lady, doesn't matter.
Maybe you wanna save someone's day
when they're having a crisis.
I would carry a tampon around.
It doesn't matter if it's not lady time.
Maybe your girls are having a crisis,
and no one wants that to happen at school, do they?
Antibacterial hand gel is also another one,
because colds spread like wildfire in schools,
and I could not stand getting ill,
so I would always have antibacterial hand gel
because I love staying clean and keep those germs away.
Nobody wants them.
Other things include plasters in case you cut yourself
with a scalpel or a compass.
Trust me, you can have many accidents at school.
Other things would be tissues, because I guarantee,
when you do not have a tissue in your bag,
you will need one.
So always carry some tissues around with you.
"How can you deal with bullying and things like that,"
which I think is a great question.
I personally got bullied throughout
most of my secondary school life, which was not fun.
But I think the key thing is,
one, keep in the front of your mind
school doesn't last forever,
and you will not have to see any of these people
after school, which is like the biggest blessing
that the world could give us.
School doesn't last forever, which is great.
I think when you're dealing with bullying,
there's a few sort of things that you could do.
You could just ignore them,
because they really want that reaction from you,
and I guarantee they will get bored
if they know that they can't get a rise from you.
So just ignore them.
If that doesn't work, maybe kill them with kindness,
and just be like, "Yeah, okay, cool."
Because you're still not giving them the angry reaction
or upset reaction that they're after.
And just pity them.
I think that's a very important thing.
Pity the bullies, because it says more about them
than it says about you guys that are getting bullied.
So, who's the real winner?
Hmm, not them.
"How do I find the motivation to do my homework,"
which is a great question.
In fact, a few of you guys asked me this,
because finding motivation to do schoolwork can be hard.
It's something that I struggled with
when I was in education and stuff,
but I think I found something that works,
personally for me, so maybe it will work for you.
And that is to make sure that you have something
to reward yourself with afterwards, you know.
It could be a nice long, lush bubble bath,
or it could be watching a favorite film,
or going to the cinema with your friends.
Just find something that you're really looking forward to,
and make sure that that is what you get for doing your work,
and I don't think you can go wrong.
I still do that.
I always do that every day.
So after I film this video, for example,
I'm going to take a little break
and watch some programs that I've been meaning to watch.
Maybe read a book.
And then get back to work again.
Rewarding yourself isn't a bad thing.
"How do I deal with anxiety, stress surrounding
"school and coursework?"
I think this is quite a simple, short answer for me.
And that is, you can only do your best.
Nobody can ask you to do more than your best,
and to keep that in mind is really important.
As long as you know that you're trying,
and you're doing all that you can to succeed,
then you know you can't do more than that.
And everything happens for a reason,
and what will be, will be.
I know that's a really wishy washy,
hippy way of thinking of things,
but if you're doing your best,
you cannot possibly do more than that.
And I think that's important to sort of keep in your mind.
One if you guys asked me if I had any organizing advice,
which I do.
And my top my advice for organizing yourself
is time management.
I used to print out little printable templates from Google
of the month.
So all the days would be in little square grids,
and I would get a bunch of these highlighters
in different colors,
and organize what subjects I'm doing,
when my deadlines are.
And I think if you're color coordinating things,
it just makes things so much easier.
So that is my biggest top organization tip,
is get a calendar, get yourself a diary,
and get some of these bad boys,
because they really do make a massive difference.
I think we have come to the end
of this advice video.
I can take my intellectual glasses off, now.
They were definitely not 3D cinema glasses.
If you like this video, or find it helpful,
please do give the little thumbs up button a little boop.
And also, I want to do a stationery haul.
So if you would like that, and like the idea of it,
and would like to see it, then again,
please do give the video a thumbs up
and comment down below.
I would like to get a little bit of a conversation started,
so if you have any school advice or tips,
then leave them down below for everyone else,
because it's nice when you guys help each other out.
Thank you very much for watching.
I will see you in my next video.
Love you very much.
Bye.
