FEED YOUR BRAIN

You can’t expect to get the best out of yourself if you don’t nourish your body properly. Adding these foods to your diet will benefit your study and lifestyle in general, trust me

HEALTHY OILS olive oil, avocado oil, peanut oil etc. — Healthy oils are high in antioxidants such as vitamin E and they boost your memory.
FISH sardines, salmon etc. — Fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which improve memory and focusing!
COFFEE — Caffeine wakes you up but don’t overdo it: 60 ml per day (the equivalent of two espresso) or less is enough to keep you alert, too much caffeine causes insomnia and anxiety and we don’t want that. Don’t like coffee? Try apples instead!
EGGS — A source of energy, they contain proteins and choline (also called “memory vitamin”… the name speaks for itself!)
CHERRIES — By adding cherries into your diet, you’ll get better sleep, since they’re high in melatonin
BANANAS — I’m not kidding when I say I eat a banana a day. They contain magnesium, potassium, folic acid, vitamin B6 and more. What are you waiting for? Go eat a banana, your brain will thank you!
NUTS & SEEDS walnuts, almonds, pistachios, sunflower seeds etc. — Their nutrients reduce stress, boost memory and help your cognitive functions in general
DARK CHOCOLATE — Contains antioxidants, magnesium and flavonoids. It stimulates blood to flow to your brain and lowers blood pressure
AVOCADO — Avocadoes are filled with healthy fats, magnesium and lots of vitamin E. it regulates blood pressure and improves blood flowing resulting in general brain developement and stress to decrease.
BERRIES blueberries, strawberries, acai berries — another food that should never miss in your diet: being high in antioxidants and flavonoids, berries actually do improve your memory and focusing a lot!
LEAFY GREENS lettuce, spinach, kale etc. — these are loaded with magnesium, vitamins, iron… force yourself to eat at least one serving per day (but if you can eat more, then go for it!)
BROCCOLI & ASPARAGUS — these guys are full of folic acid (1 cup = 2/3 of your daily value). Be sure to have your daily dose of folic acid, as it helps relieve stress and depression.
ORANGES — full of vitamin C which is good for your immune system and also helps relieving stress
OATS — oats will boost your serotonin levels, consequently boosting your mood. i personally recommend whole-grains
TEA — green tea is good for focusing and stress relief, but you know what’s even better? black tea!

tips

1. eating colorful is the easiest way to a more healthy diet (same-color foods often share same nutrients)
2. if you’re a picky eater, try disguising tastes with seasonings, spices (and everything nice) or by combining them with foods you like
3. drink water!!! at least 1 L per day!! carrying a bottle of water wherever you go is the trick!
4. plan ahead + prep your meals!! thereby you will avoid that unpleasant “i don’t know what to eat” situation (which often leads to eating junk food :// )
5. make your grocery list before going to the supermarket!!! pros: less time wasted, won’t get distracted by other things you don’t need to buy, know ahead how much $$ you’re gonna spend
6. ALWAYS check the expiration date of products you buy + know when to consume your fruits&veggies

RECIPES

Tbh, when it comes to study snacks im a very lazy person (plus in my world time is money and i hate wasting precious study time) so i usually eat rather simple dishes. Then, what do i prep when i feel more creative?

FRUIT SALAD (easiest snack ever tbh everyone can do this no matter how bad u are at cooking)

all you need is

  1. love
  2. fruit of your choice
  3. (optional) cocoa powder / cinnamon / lemon juice

what u gonna do now

  1. wash the fruit, peel it (if needed) and then slice it
  2. put everything in a bowl and it’s good to go
  3. BUT if you want, you can add cocoa powder, cinnamon or lemon juice for extra flavor. use your creativity, (almost) anything can work!

i love fruit salads bc they’re healthy, easy + quick to make (not to mention super delicious)!! here you can see one i made w/ strawberries and cocoa powder

FRUIT PARFAIT (another easy option, but a more creative one *sunglasses emoji*)

all you need is

  1. fruit (u don’t say)
  2. oat bran
  3. yogurt

what u gonna do now

  1. wash, peel and slice the fruit
  2. grab a tall glass/mug/whatever and make the first layer with fruit
  3. then add the yogurt for the second layer
  4. third layer is going to be the oat bran
  5. depending on the height of the glass/mug, you may go on w/ the layers
  6. this is optional but you can add toppings if you want to make it look even cuter (and yummier)

what i like about this big bad boy here is that it’s SO fulfilling!!

BAKED PUMPKIN SEEDS (for my savory lovers out there)

all you need is

  1. pumpkin seeds
  2. thats it. thats all u need

what u gonna do now

  1. take a pan and cover it with baking paper
  2. place the seeds on the paper and cook in the oven for 20 mins at 200°C
  3. done!! B)

super simple, isn’t it? and guess what? they actually taste like popcorn!! no lie!!!

BAKED ZUCCHINIS

all you need is

  1. zucchinis!
  2. lemon juice
  3. pepper

what u gonna do now

  1. wash and slice the zucchinis french fry style
  2. put them in a bowl, add lemon juice + pepper and mix all well together
  3. cover a pan with a sheet of baking paper and place the seasoned slices
  4. cook in the oven for 20-30 mins at 200°C, flipping them over when they’re half done
  5. now you have a more healthy and tasty version of french fries to eat while studying!

(on a side note: you can’t even imagine how painful typing ‘zucchinis’ was to me)

OATMEAL BANANA COOKIES (my fave!!)

all you need is

  1. oatmeals
  2. a banana
  3. cinnamon or cocoa powder

what u gonna do

  1. peel and slice the banana
  2. smash the banana w/ a fork in a bowl, then add the oatmeals + cinnamon/cocoa powder and mix
  3. cover the pan w/ your trusted baking paper. using a spoon, place the mixture on the paper forming little circular shapes (they don’t have to be perfect)
  4. cook in the oven for 20 mins at 200°C (remember to flip them over at the 10mins mark)
  5. let them cool off for 30-40 mins and they’re ready to eat!

these take quite a bit but you can prep them before starting to study, then you do your revision/practice while you wait for them to cool off and finally you can take a break + enjoy them!

OH MY GOSH IT’S ADORABLE

Anonymous asked:

Hello, what advice/s can you give to incoming college students?

lifewithlala answered:

1. Try to get along with everyone. For real, I cannot stress this enough. Try to keep your professors, college staff and classmates on your side. They can help you a ton with complaints, resources, finding a job, recommendation.

2. Help your classmates. If they need something, don’t be stingy. Help them. You will eventually need some help too. They are more likely to return the favor when you’ve helped them too. But be aware of the ones that have a habit of asking people for things and they themselves don’t do anything.

3. Find one or two study buddies. The study material in University is going to be MASSIVE. so having study buddies will help you immensely in group projects, dividing study load, and making the whole process more bearable.

4. Annoy your professors. For real, some professors don’t take giving classes or controlling seriously. Are they late with giving you feedback? SPAM THEM. email, phone, app, messenger. Whatever the fuck it takes. No response. Take it to their superior or the college board immediately. You’ll be surprised by how professors sabotage the career of student just by being reckless. Do not take their shit.

5. Plan everything. As soon as you get the syllabus, make a schedule, and dear stick to it because your finances really depend on it.

do not ignore this

our momentum is slowing down. we can’t let our dashes go back to normal when the world is not normal. so, if you are reading this, you are ~legally~ obligated to choose 2 numbers below; you must complete the task of those two numbers today. don’t pretend you didn’t see this. either do them right now or set a reminder to get it done before the sun goes down. the timer starts now. choose two. 

  1. sign some petitions. LINK HERE. if change.org hasn’t accused you of being a bot yet, you haven’t signed enough. 
  2. watch these youtube videos. LINK HERE. do not skip the ads. this is a way to help raise money without having to donate any.
  3. sign up to get daily actions. LINK HERE. after filling out the form, you will receive texts Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays telling you what action to take. 
  4. text or call for any of these victims. LINK HERE. this website is extremely helpful, well organized, and practically does all of the work for you.
  5. donate some money. LINK HERE. if you have any more money to spare, please donate it to one of these funds.
  6. follow every single one of these organizations on social media: blcklivesmatter, colorofchange, reclaimtheblock, showingupforracialjustice, and civilrightsorg
  7. post these important sources to your social media. LINK HERE. you have no idea who it might help. 
  8. read this article and forward it to at least one person. LINK HERE. 
  9. watch this video explaining the racial wealth gap. LINK HERE. it’s really informative and only about 15 minutes long. 
  10. do some reading. LINK HERE. this link has a ton of great resources to educate yourself. read at least one. 

some friendly reminders everyone needs to hear✨

  • stop living for others, and live for yourself. life is short, so don’t waste time on trying to gain other’s validation.
  • live more in the moment. take a second to just breathe and forget about yesterday or tomorrow.
  • stop wishing that your life could be different. the right things and people will come at the right time.
  • be grateful for the little things in life.
  • take responsibility for your life. stop blaming other people or things for your own downfalls.
  • be the kindest person you can be. to others and yourself.
  • take care of yourself. rest when you need to. drink some water and put on a face mask. don’t drive yourself into a burnout.
  • don’t wait for the “perfect” time to do that thing. don’t wait for yourself to become confident or the new year or that spark of inspiration. start now. there is no perfect time.
  • treat everyday as a new beginning. you can start over whenever you need to.
  • do your best. even if you’re not where you want to be right now, keep going. hard work pays off.

real examples of job interview questions from my boss:

three years ago, when I interviewed for my current job, questions came from a long list that my boss had written himself. I found that list recently and trimmed it down to what I believe are the hardest/trickiest questions to answer so that maybe you guys can think on them and be prepared for your next job interview! best of luck!!
