Hi, I am Parmeet. I am a prospective biochemistry student. I believe that the willingness to experiment is essential to the expansion of a person's mindset

@TearYouthTO Be sure to get enough rest and sleep at this time of year. Sometimes we over estimate the toll that non-physical activities can take on us during the winter season. Grab yourself a cup of hot chocolate and be sure to prioritize resting #TEARtalk

@TearYouthTO Among the festivities and the associated preparation, be sure to set aside time for self-care. Sometimes it’s easier to respectfully say no to certain invites or social engagements if you feel overwhelmed. #TEARtalk

@TearYouthTO The obligation to attend every social gathering is a common stressor especially with larger social circles. It’s important to prioritize your health and well-being because even holiday festivities can become hectic #TEARtalk

@TearYouthTO I am looking forward to a holiday movie marathon with my family 😁 #TEARtalk

[Parmeet @Parmeet_D]

@TearYouthTO I like having a sitcom or TV-show which I look forward to every week. Even with external stress, I feel motivated by the thought of watching an episode of that TV-show 😁 #TEARtalk

@TearYouthTO I think the first step would be to educate friends and family about the importance of mental health and start the discussion from there. That conversation can diversify in many ways so that everyone is educated about the matter.

[Parmeet @Parmeet_D]

@TearYouthTO I think the biggest misconception is saying that “mental health problems are uncommon.” In many cases, that misconception stems from the stigma against the significance of mental health.

[Parmeet @Parmeet_D]

@TearYouthTO Positive mental health to me is experiencing positive emotions from time to time, having positive relationships with the people around you, and having some form of goals that you want to achieve every single day. #TEARtalk

@TearYouthTO Google scholars is a nice tool to look for research papers if an assignment requires certified citations/sources during highschool or post-secondary education. #TEARtalk

[Parmeet @Parmeet_D]

@TearYouthTO I like to have a tiny prize that I create for myself after a term or semester to motivate me. As for staying focused, good music is the key :) #TEARtalk

@TearYouthTO Time-blocking is a technique that allows a student to plan academic and personal activities as “blocks” on a calendar so that both are prioritized. Google calendar and any other calendar app is very useful for effective time-blocking. #TEARtalk

@TearYouthTO Education about two main factors is essential to creating more awareness. The importance of consent must be defined, and how proper consent will decrease the chances of sexual violence. Identifying and making helplines/services accessible is also essential #TEARtalk

[Parmeet @Parmeet_D]

@TearYouthTO Informed consent directly fosters healthy relationships in which partners value each other instead of resorting to forms of exploitation. Sexual assault would not exist because such an act would violate the basics of proper and informed consent. #TEARtalk

[Parmeet @Parmeet_D]

@TearYouthTO I think a very prominent myth about sexual assault the stigma that it can only be committed by strangers, which is not true at all. Additionally, the myth about sexual assault only occurring against women is also false. #TEARtalk

[Parmeet @Parmeet_D]

@TearYouthTO It is a month dedicated to raising awareness about sexual assault. Eliminating this form of violence is very important which is why this month is dedicated to educating the public about red flags, prevention techniques, and to identify useful helplines. #TEARtalk

[Parmeet @Parmeet_D]

@TearYouthTO I have been following @GreenpeaceCA for a long time ever since I did a project about them in middle school. A very interesting organization which advocates for environmental stewardship, solely through donations of individuals like us. #TEARtalk

[Parmeet @Parmeet_D]

@TearYouthTO Being more mindful about the usage of the HVAC system is important. Especially in situations were heating or the AC is not explicitly required, keeping it off can save energy. Additionally, upgrading windows and doors to have a better sealing ability also helps #TEARtalk

[Parmeet @Parmeet_D]

@TearYouthTO Overall climate change is leading to increased extreme weather. The imbalance in the weather can be seen but it is more evident when we assess lower crop yields and increased droughts throughout the world #TEARtalk

[Parmeet @Parmeet_D]

@TearYouthTO Earth Day is a day dedicated to raising awareness and to advocate for sustainability and conservation of wildlife. The Industrial Revolution brought many improvements for mankind but in doing so, the health of wildlife, and the destruction of habitats has been neglected #TEARtalk

[Parmeet @Parmeet_D]

@TearYouthTO By recognizing, contradicting and educating others about gender stereotyping within my daily life, I can contribute to the eradication of such instances #TEARtalk
