Kick Those Bad Habits: A New Leaf for Liverpool Students
Procrastination or Progress?
As stated in The Tab, the ever-returning term of deadlines, exam cram sessions, and yes, frequent pub visits, is upon us. The start of a new term offers the perfect opportunity to shed some infamous student habits that might be holding Liverpool students back from realizing their full potential. Are you ready to ditch those burdens and make this the best term yet?
The Night Owl’s Unholy Ritual
Is there a veteran university student who hasn’t pulled a sleepless night in the library at least once? Those twilight hours with a Red Bull in hand can lead to the stark realization that one does not desire an eternal routine of sleepless nights and coffee-fueled days. While it may feel productive at the moment, in reality, it usually hinders more than it helps. Perhaps this term, abandon the night owl’s ritual for a more strategic study schedule.
Sweet Rewards or Bitter Spending?
Who doesn’t like to pamper themselves with a treat after a long lecture? But when doing so transforms into a daily splurge spree, it has its downsides. Rewarding oneself should not equate to a financial fiasco. This term, allow your achievements to stand on their own without an accompanying latte or pastry superiority complex.
Thrifty Treats or Detours from Duty?
Nightly runs for sugary snacks might seem innocent, but they can seamlessly morph into escapes from responsibilities. The next time a chocolate craving calls at midnight, ask if it’s truly hunger or just another stall tactic designed to keep you from your academics. Can we leave this one behind and focus on real priorities instead?
Goodbye, Thursday Morning Dread
Lectures the morning after society socials often usher in a collective sense of dread. How many times have those early classes been sacrificed for another fun night out? For the sake of academic success, it may be time to conquer that dreaded Thursday 9am with fresh focus and newfound determination.
Priorities: Filling Pantries or Partnering with Pint Nights?
That familiar scenario where the essence of a student’s diet is a lone bottle of ketchup and a tin of beans shouldn’t be relived time and again. By prioritizing sustenance over spirits, Liverpool’s students can ensure that their pantries are as full as their social calendars. This term, choose groceries over going out, and find out how fulfilling non-liquid assets can be.
These habits are more than students’ stereotypes—they’re the realities many of us challenge every term. Climbs to self-improvement are steep, but not insurmountable. So as Spring awakens around campus, awaken in yourself the resolve to part ways with unproductive habits. After all, there’s no reason the rest of your university life can’t be the best of it.
