A book of life lessons, tips and tricks, DIYs, recommendations, self care ideas etc.
Metanoia
(n.) the journey of changing one's mind, heart, self or way of life.
Cover by me.
Make no mistake, I am still a student. Yes, I sometimes like to talk like I'm an 80 year old grandma who is oozing of wisdom. It makes up for a cool image in my head.
If you are a student, this might be useful to you. I've been a student for 15 years, now and will be one for the rest of my life (metaphorically, of course; who the hell wants to be drowning in homework?📚).

These tips are things I've learnt over the years. They've stood the test of time and helped me not only be a straight A student for my entire school life but also earn some beautiful friendships and teachers. It was not perfect. I made mistakes, I did things I shouldn't have. I let go of chances. Yes, it was not perfect but it was a happy time.
Being a student is not an easy task. We are students for a major part of our lives. Getting right isn't easy, either. However, there are always little things we can do to make it bearable and happier. Below are 10 things I wish someone had told me. These are things I've learnt firsthand and I believe that they would help you.

🔵 1. Marks matter, but never at the cost of friendships, family and yourself.
🔵 2. Quality over quantity always, when it comes to friends.
🔵 3. Studying hard for your tests and trying to excel doesn't make you 'nerdy'.
🔵 4. Talk more to your teachers. It's a universe inside every teacher. You just need to knock politely and ask if you can come in.
🔵 5. Never procrastinate when it comes to homework and revision.
🔵 6. Make notes for all your subjects, before the examination season sets in. Make hay while the sun shines.
🔵 7. Go out and participate in all extra-curriculars, picnics, fests and school functions. Memories over marks.
🔵 8. Use your library well. We so often forget that this is the best time to feed our near bibliophile. So many free books, where else would you get?
🔵 9. Be kinder to your parents. Yes, they might misunderstand; yes, they can even be annoying. But at the end of the day, they do have your best interests in their hearts.
🔵 10. Take chances. Want to propose your crush? Want to participate in a dance competition even though you dance like Mr. Bean? Want to ask a doubt in a class? Want to join the other friends' group? Do them. Now. Now is the best time.
I hope you learnt something from these 10 tips!
