Hey, I know it's late in the year, but my A level exams are approaching fast, so I just wanted to do regular check-ins with my wellbeing to ensure I'm looking after myself. Feel free to follow along if you want updates, and I can tag you, and if you're doing exams yourself this year, maybe you could share some tips for how you maintain your wellbeing and I can compile them all 
I guess this is a sort of GYG/wellbeing blog hybrid if you will

~To boost my grades up a bit to my old standard (I've let them slip a bit, whoops!)
~To drink more water, as I'm always dehydrated
~To get more sleep each night, and to go to sleep earlier
~To get into a routine of eating breakfast every morning
~Try to keep as calm as possible throughout the exam season, as my nerves often get the better of me
~Get into a regular routine of revising in small increments each day
Due to the pandemic, my GCSE and AS level exams have all been cancelled, so this is my first time to actually sit real exams, which is making me quite anxious, so I hope this blog will help me to look after myself

I got some revision materials made for law today (juries), and I get some work done for politics (notes on the 1997 General Election- to be finished), and I managed to answer a 16 mark question on outlining and evaluating the biological explanations of OCD. So I've had a semi-productive day for a change
I haven't drank much today, which is something I need to improve on tomorrow, and also getting more sleep as it's already pretty late
Tomorrow I will try and finish off my notes on the 1997 election, and attempt to drink more, as I've a long shift at work tomorrow

I try to bring my water bottle with me wherever I go and when I see it I try to take a sip, but honestly trying to stay hydrated is a whole task in itself. Some days are good and other days aren't

I think I stay up so late because I spend all day doing college, and college work, and going to work, that I’ve no time for myself, so I try and make up for it during the time I should be sleeping

I managed to get a fair amount of revision cards made for law today, so that's something, but I think today I just relaxed, as I know I have the bank holiday Monday to do a lot of revision as there's no college. I had a good day with my family today, so I think that helped with my wellbeing, and reminded me that there's more to life than A levels!!!
Still haven't managed to drink much though! I think I shall try and improve on that tomorrow by drinking lots of tea
Tomorrow I will aim to get those flashcards finished for law, and then try and answer some exam questions on them in preparation for the real thing. I will also try and finally finish those notes on the 1997 general election for politics, and I will squeeze in some psychology revision too, although I'm not sure on what yet!
And I plan once again to stay hydrated, so fingers crossed tomorrow is a good day for that! I'm posting this quite late, so obviously the plan to get more sleep is a work in progress, so let's hope I can improve on that tomorrow

I finally finished my notes for the 1997 general election which I'm happy about, and I also revised the animal studies in attachment for psychology. I didn't do as much as I'd have liked to, but small progress is still progress none the less. I thought having a cup of tea would motivate me to stay more hydrated as it's one of my favourite drinks, but I only drank half the mug! so I must find another method to drink more.
I won't really have much time to revise tomorrow as I have such a full on day, but I do have a small break at college, so I will try and get some done then. I think I am on track to getting a good night's sleep tonight, but I will see if I'm able to put my phone down before midnight
almost forgot the tags!

have you tried one of those water bottles with timings on like drink to a particular line by 11am etc - doesn't have to be a case of buying one but labelling a current one. Also doesn't have to be water. Good luck with your full on day!

What about some juice/cordial to give it a bit of flavour? You can always go for no added sugar to be healthier. Still hydrating as it's mainly water but flavoured
