5 study moods for STEM majors
inspired by @howtomusicmajor!
lets be real, studying can be super boring when you’re not feeling inspired. these are my fav five moods to practice while im studying! its simple and personally makes me feel like i have a stronger sense of purpose
no rush review - looking over lecture notes, lots of natural lighting, peppermint tea, the happiest pop hits, a few close friends
ideal for a sunday when you want to prep yourself for the new week by reviewing your notes to make sure you know whats up during class! i love spending my sundays with friends so we can get each other excited for the week up ahead
energized early bird - waking up at 7am for a quick morning run, piping hot green tea, penning deadlines in a planner, organizing notes, assigning priorities for the week, writing down weekly goals, tidying up and putting away stray notebooks and clothes, blasting the best bollywood jams from my childhood
the best way to start a monday morning!!! taking time at the beginning of the week to declutter your mind, schedule, and living space will do wonders for your morale and energy. and what better way to start the week than dancing along to your fav songs from childhood while you get your life organized
mellow steady focus - a packet of practice problems, spanish guitar, coconut water, baby mandarins to snack on, a warm sunlit patio
my perfect storm of environment+food+music to sit down and knock out a ton of practice problems for my engineering classes. the combo of spanish guitar and sunlight keeps me feeling perky and wide awake
get shit done - pounding out a solid lab report, a cozy sweater, hot black coffee, lots of water to stay hydrated, a trustworthy study buddy and a lively coffee shop, phone on do not disturb mode
the energy and background noise of everyone else around me keeps me stimulated, and my study buddy will keep me focused (aka yell at me if i get on my phone and start messing around). i prefer writing my chemistry lab reports all in one go because i find it easiest when i continue the same train of thought and writing style. i feel super accomplished when i finish writing and take a long break to relax my brain and enjoy the company of my friend
engineering barbie - wearing your power scent, a tall bottle of fresh fruit juice, a silent study lounge, britney spears playlist, creating color coded study guides, an assortment of bright pens and a ruler
my favorite way to prep for exams is going over all my lecture notes and creating condensed study guides on white printer paper that have color coded sections according to topic or type of information (like equations, theorems, applications, etc). then when it comes time to actually study, i have five pages to look at instead of twenty messy notebook pages from lecture.
