Do you have advice for food? I don't have a lunch break on Tuesdays or Thursdays so I regularly can't eat till 5 some days. I have a professor that's letting me eat in class, so I'm looking for like, food ideas of anything that I can take to school, doesn't have much scent. I live at my parents house so I have a stove and oven, and I have thermoses that I can use to keep food warm. Any suggestions?
Yes! I've had days like that. My go to snacks were things like granola bars, nutri grain bars (I like great value brand better than name brand), trail mix bars, protein bars (see a theme lol), things that are quick and easy to eat between classes or even sneak in eating during class. I also had little pouches of trail mix I could scarf down as well. You could also make basic sandwiches and cut them up so it's easier to just grab a bite during class without causing much commotion and there isn't a lot of scent. You could also bring things like fruit or vegetables that are small, like berries or similar, nothing too messy like peaches. If you get shaky or anything similar if you don't have sugar or haven't eaten in awhile, keep a packet of Skittles, m&M's, etc so you can eat a handful when you get shaky. If your professor is letting you eat in class you could take yoghurt and mix with seeds or other healthy things that would give you energy and keep you full longer, this also doesn't have a lot of scent and doesn't make noise while eating. Some cheaper ideas would be pb&j, granola bars, canned soups (I've brought chicken and stars in a thermos once and drank it during class lmao), etc. It all depends on being creative, your budget, tastes, and allergies so let me know if you need something else!

OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-
there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀
Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.
What’s the focus?
1. Keep the flexibility in your spine
2. Stretch the muscles in the front
3. Strengthen the muscle in the back
Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen
Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day
The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down
Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there
Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards
If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.
Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up
There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving
Tips:
Do the best you can
If it hurts stop
Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises

FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.
If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.
Yes, I'm doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.
Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I'm bad at tags.

Hello besties! Sorry for my absence, I have been going through it. Anyway my tip of the day is to not work your first day of school even if your class isn't until the evening, because I am working the morning and my class is in the afternoon and I am stressing

hi! when I get depressed it's really hard to make sure I'm eating as much as I should so here are somethings I eat when I don't have the energy to do shit
these are depression meals so they are in no way balanced and an ideal diet, this is to get you through it, if you have depression, some of these on your shopping list are a good idea
I'm also assuming the only equipment you have is a bowl, spoon, sink, microwave and at most, a can opener. in no particular order:
granola bars and adjacent things like nuts, dried fruit, etc
frozen sausages: break them in half and microwave, if they're too cold to break you can run them under hot water or leave them out for a couple minutes, you need the break them or they might explode
canned corn: open and eat with a spoon, you can strain and microwave if you want it hot
cheese: put it in a bowl and microwave till it melts or till it's crispy, your choice but if you do just cheese don't use a porous bowl
instant noodles: don't use a pan, use a bowl, empty the contents in the bowl, add water till at least half of the noodle thing is submerged, microwave for 2-4 minutes, mix and eat
regular noodles: use a bigger bowl than you normally would, add some dry pasta to it and enough water to cover the pasta but not much more, it might overflow, and microwave for a few minutes more than the package says to boil, drain the water and put in whatever, condiment, sauce, cheese, sausages, frozen veggies, and microwave again, it's more time intensive but also more nutrients so
canned beans: you can eat as is if it comes in a sauce, but if you got the ones with the clear liquid you can strain and rinse and if you don't have a strainer, open the can just a little from the tab and open a faucet, let the water run into the can and adjust the position of the lid till the water can go in without any of the beans coming out, it'll dissolve the liquid and it'll flow out, leave it for a bit then shake it, turn it upside to drain, let it refill then leave it again, repeat till the water over flowing isn't that weird liquid
crackers/biscuits: keep a stash of biscuits that you can eat, bonus if you can eat them with milk or tea or coffee or juice
juice: buy your favorite and keep a bottle in the fridge or frozen if you suspect you're starting to spiral and might need it in a few hours
readymade meals: whenever you go to do your grocery shopping, buy just one premade meal
vegetables: keep a vegetable you like that you can eat raw like cucumbers or
fruits: keep a fruit you know you can eat or you know you can drown in something else, for example I don't like apples but I can eat them if they're covered in peanut butter
sweets: you can keep a favorite hard candy to get yourself salivating idk for me if helps activate some hunger while getting rid of the painful part of being hungry
butters and spreads: you can find premade sandwich spread with chicken in them, or jams or spreads that are savory like peanut/almond/cashew butter or sweet like a chocolate/vanilla spread
rice: if you make rice and ever have some left over you can freeze it and eat it later, you can also do that with rice in a bag
tofu: you can eat it raw as long as you drain the liquid it comes with
condiments: almost all of these things can be improved or 'seasoned' with ketchup, mayo, mustard, ranch, tartar sauce, marinara, etc. it'll give some flavor and make it taste better but don't microwave sauces u less they're properly mixed with the food especially mayo based ones, they can get weird
frozen vegetables: any time you're using the microwave to make these things, throw in a handful of frozen vegetables and microwave for a little longer
cereal: pair cereal with foods like yogurt instead of milk, you can add chocolate drink powder to the yogurt before adding the cereal which is really nice, you can also make it directly in the yogurt container if it's small enough
electrolytes: you can make them a bottle using two dashes of salt (1/4 tsp), a 2second squeeze of a honey bottle (2 tsp) and some kind of juice for a better flavor
order out: if you can afford to order food, order it, some tips to get the most out of what you order 1. order a family box of food to store in the fridge 2. when you microwave it, do it with some water in a glass with your bowl/food in the microwave
if it keeps you from spiraling, it's worth doing. and if it's worth doing, it's worth doing poorly. eating something is better than eating nothing.
hope this helps, if you can, please add more things!

Hey uh sorry so i don't know if this is the right place to ask but heck i have searched the internet for answers and i still dont have one, and i have no money to talk to some professional about it. So, when do you think it is appropriate to start looking into colleges? I am still in highschool, second year out of four and i want to study abroad, specifically in an english speaking country (i am not from one) and i want to study film. I am really serious about this, and i've got a ton of anxiety, so i feel a strong need to know my future point by point and also to know the deadlines for my decisions.
Feel free to ignore this if it doesn't fit with your blog :D
Bestie, everything goes with my blog. But i am the wrong person to ask for this lol, i applied to exactly one college in spring of my senior year of high school without a tour or anything because it was free application day and the college was an hour away from my home. However, if you're asking me the proper way to go, now is the time to start researching, junior year you start doing tours and narrow it to your top university's, and then senior year you apply to more than one lol and go to your top choice of acceptance. You can always find a local school with study abroad trips, that would probably be cheaper than studying in a different country all those years. Like I said, idk but i hope that helped!

Sorry for the lack of posts besties, I've been going through it.
Anyway the tip is to make sure the classes you signed up for are actually the classes you're supposed to be taking, especially if you're advisor only advises you over email. Mine told me to sign up for two classes and a week into the semester proceeded to email me and say I'm not supposed to be taking these classes at all, including having the audacity to cc the director of the whole program even though she told me to take those classes 🙃
Also, make sure to read the syllabus and figure out what books you need before class and what ones you can wait on and see if you will actually use it. Some classes require bookwork asap and others will say the book is required and then never use it, check the assignment part of the syllabus.
And welcome back to school for another semester :) which started about two weeks ago for most of you according to my notes

Before signing for any classes. Check the teacher on rateMyProfessor
This will tell you how they teach. If it's assignment heavy. If it's reading heavy. And if they offer any curves.
This will save you from getting the bad professors even if you are new to the college.
Good advice! I love rate my professor for teachers
My inbox is always open for submissions!
