Best study music?

The Amélie soundtrack by Yann Tiersen. Lots of people will say lo-fi hip hop study beats, but not me. I say that's for plebs and fuckboys. As far as I’m aware, Albert Einstein did not have access to lo-fi study beats… but Josh did when he got a C in Communications. 

How to cram for exams?

Step 1: put on The Amelie soundtrack by Yann Tiersen. Step two: use the time to make sure you fully understand the core concept of the course. There is no use in trying to memorise loads of specific information. Instead, really understand the key concepts/rules/themes, then it is not a case of remembering in the exam, it is a case of applying something you know. Step three: have a good night’s sleep ffs! 

Biggest ick?

..so many to choose from… but to provide a short list of some of my favourites.

  1. When they’re wearing a backpack and they lean forward and it goes over their head

  2. When they wipe their nose on their sleeve

  3. When they try hard to sing but can't sing 

  4. When they have a zippy wallet

  5. When they lose their balance but don’t regain it promptly

  6. When they tuck in their shoelaces… especially with no show socks 

  7. When they call their mum mummy
