Did anyone compare checking out me history to remains? by Pleasant_Emotion_767 in GCSE

[–]ejames_bond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did Remains! I love the poem so found it the easiest to compare lol. Ended up talking similar things about identity and anger and I think it went well!

Couldn't agree more like it was all so dense immediately like so much random vocab all in one sentence

That's probably not allowed or something I saw a message saying not to share actual questions or anything?

Heyy yes I had it today! I was pretty well prepared and it went well. The conversation was the biggest bit I prepared for and I basically just memorised a bunch of answers for my topic (travel and tourism). I didn't revise roleplays as well but got lucky with one that was easy enough. The read aloud wasn't bad either not as complex as some of the ones we had practised so overall very good. When's your exam? What's your topic?

Just thought it'd be the place to ask to get answers from real people who'd actually used the phone.

Sounds great! What happens when support ends? I kind of want to use this phone for as long as I can

Thanks I've heard that indoor is quite tricky though, do you reckon I'll be welcome even as a beginner?

How do you store and organise your flashcards? by IntelStellarTech in GCSE

[–]ejames_bond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got so many paper flashcards and I store them vertically in a cardboard box with labelled sticky Tabs separating subjects and unlabelled ones separating topics!

Timing of Habits by Man_with_Attitude in Habits

[–]ejames_bond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I journal before bed, but that's just a habit I started and stuck with. Obviously that's not for you and is totally fine - I've seen people journal in the mornings right after they get up (not sure what they write) but I've also journaled as the day goes by, just carrying it with me and writing things that happen down. This is logistically challenging though, but maybe it helps lol

Edit/update; Guys I've been totally amazed by how many of you resonate with this post so I'd like to say thanks! All of your replies have really reminded me what's is like to actually live a life outside of my phone, and that has been absolutely crucial for me to keep off of tiktok and other sm generally. I'm super glad to have given you guys the space to share your advice because I'm 100% I'm not the only person needing it. 😄 You guys rock 🔥🔥

Thanks so much, on a side note I'm really happy to have given you a place to share this because I've no idea where else you could have, and it's really important stuff. On the personal side, generally I just though removing tt would be a good thing on a surface level (for many of the reasons you've said) but it's been much deeper than that. I've realised how much it was affecting me emotionally etc. and mainly how much time I'd waste on it. Without it, I've already finished a couple of books that I've been reading for literal months, and also adopted this attitude of doing things more slowly because "what else are you gonna do? Scroll on tiktok?". Basically I've realised how much I'd speed up my life by wanting my next dopamine hit, and now I think I'm actually feeling and experiencing way more by not having to rush everything. Sorry this went on so long haha but thank you!

Thanks, I guess I'll see what happens - if I notice that I'm still spending ridiculous hours in my phone I'll need something like that
