do my homework on time
stress 15 months ago

I’ve found that the main reason I had trouble with this was stressing myself out. From a logical standpoint the procrastination was illogical because I would waste more time procrastinating than it would take to actually do the task; though I suppose my mind was afraid of failure to some degree and decided it would be easier to just not do it… wrong. Towards the end of the school year I found that one thing really could help me: exercise. It was a good stress reliever, just taking a 30 minute walk every day or so helped me to get started and get stuff done!



Make yogurt
insaneavocado 16 months ago

It was worth doing just to see it happen, it was really cool to come back and see what was previously a pitcher of milk be a pitcher of yogurt! That said, my first batch came out really tart; I think I might have disturbed it a bit too much, I used a crock pot as an incubator. The second time I used a beach cooler that I filled with hot water and I left it in for only 4-5 hours. It was less tart, but still not quite what I wanted. I hope to try again some other time; I wonder if the tartness is because I stirred the whey back into the yogurt instead of pouring it off?



Activly take a stand against my senioritis.
insaneavocado 17 months ago

To be honest, I kind of thought that the idea of senioritis was a sham when I heard about it. Boy was I wrong! It really started to set in in the last few weeks; you just kind of have to fight through it. Definitely worth it though!
