Quick tips for a nice productive study day!

STUDY SPACE – you should find a quiet space, so you won’t get distracted. Preferably your room or even a library if possible. The quietude is essential because it gives you the opportunity for concentration (also you will not get bothered)

STUDY SUPPLIES – make sure you have all the materials you need, therefore you won’t interrupt your study to pick anything else

SNACKS – people are more productive when they’re hydrated and fueled. Although  avoid fast food and candies, choose fruits or peanuts because they supply much more energy for your body

DISTRACTIONS – remove everything that can possibly distract you while you’re studying, including : mobile phone, computer or any other device. Make sure you’re comfortable with your clothes (because it won’t disturb you) and the furniture you are sitting on is also appropriate

MAKE A SCHEDULE – you can establish how much time you’ll spend studying for which subject, in order to keep yourself relaxed and, like this, you won’t get overwhelmed

DO NOT PROCASTINATE – waiting until the last minute to study for a big exam or read a book will make you feel nervous about it, and then maybe you won´t succeed. Make sure you plan everything.

Regarded to that, you should take a time to yourself. Relax and rest – it’ll also help you with your productivity!

This is normally something that should be simple, but it’s surprisingly hard to find the right type of music to suit your study mood. I have plenty of friends who’ll choose to jam out to Kendrick’s new album, and while that may be great to to listen to with friends, it’s just a little distracting when it comes to studying. Hopefully I’ll be able to provide you with some great music you can use to help ace your next test!

Italicized = a personal favorite

Classical Music

I actually don’t like listening to composers like Mozart or Bach when I study, because their music is exciting and it’s meant to be listened to, which means I normally end up listening instead of studying, which can be a problem. Instead, I like to use movie soundtracks, because they’re meant to be in the background of something. Plus, they’re often really, really nice.

Guardians of the Galaxy (A bonus on these two – sometimes the song titles are really funny)

Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2

Lion

***SKIP THE FIRST SONG, IT IS BY SIA AND WILL NOT CALM YOU DOWN!***

Moonlight 

***SKIP SONGS 1, 13, and 17!!! THESE SONGS ARE NOT CLASSICAL AND WILL NOT HELP YOU STUDY***

The Theory of Everything

The Harry Potter Movies 

(This is not my playlist! It just contains all of the movies’ soundtracks. Individual ones will be linked below.)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone// Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets// Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban// Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire// Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix// Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince// Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1// Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2

Ambient by Mixhound

2 Hours of Piano Music by The Soul of Wind 

(Don’t let the video itself fool you! The music here is really nice, whether you’re into anime or not. I’m personally not, but I use this all the time!)

Relaxing Music

Sometimes you don’t want to listen to classical, or maybe that’s just not your style. Here’s some more music to match your tastes!

aesthetic study music: a playlist by Lauren Co

Anything by Adib Sin is really frickin’ relaxing.

Petit Biscuit! A really nice, upcoming electronic music artist.

Moist AF: a playlist by Adib Sin. It has some nice electronic music.

Moosetape, Vol. 6 also has some indie-electronic vibes, but it’s definitely a little different from everything else on the list.

Ten REALLY Quick Breakfast Ideas for Non-Punctual Students

Before I start: breakfast is very really super important to get enough nutrients and brain food for your day. You will not do as well on your APUSH test if you do not grab at least something to eat before you leave. You can eat half of these during your commute to school; just, please, eat something and stay healthy my fellow bloggers! A cup of coffee is NOT breakfast.

1. A banana and a granola bar. Potassium and fiber! What a power couple.

2. Overnight oats. Great for brain food and literally scrumptious I could eat 7 servings.

3. Mash up half an avocado and throw it on a piece of bread/toast (I shake some pepper on mine, but to each their own).

4. Handful of berries and a handful of granola (I am very very guilty of literally throwing one handful in my mouth, chewing for ten seconds, and then throwing the other in my mouth to get out the door by 7:30.)

5. A small bowl of cereal. It’s filling.

6. Banana bread. It’s not too nutritious, but it’s super easy to make a loaf on Sunday and take one slice a day for a week. Just make sure you store it in an airtight container so it doesn’t get stale.

7. Vanilla (or your favorite) yogurt with some almonds or berries or granola in it. It’s good for you, it’s filling, and it’s quick.

8. Builder’s Clif Bars. They are the most filling thing on the planet and they take 45 seconds to eat. I have to thank these bars for getting me through countless tests.

9. Cut up some fruit the night before and eat a measuring cup or two before you head out.

10. Throw some ice, frozen berries, yogurt, and a banana in a blender and you’ve got yourself a filling smoothie to drink during your first class.

Remember that all of these are super versatile and can be switched up or changed to match your lifestyle and tastes :)
