hey guys! since I’m going back to school in a few weeks and I know some people are already back to school I thought I’d make a masterpost dedicated to it ^^ hope this helps you guys out:

music playlists + ambient sounds:

ambient sound generators are designed to prevent distraction and increase focus! these are some of my favourites.

coffitivity: online generator of coffee shop sounds

rainy cafe: online generator of rainy cafe sounds

soundrown: sound generator of multiple relaxing sounds

noisil: customisable background noise and colour generator

a soft murmur: online background sound generator to increase focus

as well as ambient sounds I like to listen to music whilst I study. My favourite study playlists are a mix of classical music and chillstep to help focus me

classical mix #1: 1 hour 28 mins

classical mix #2: 1 hour 38 mins

piano mix #1: 2 hours

chill step mix #1: 36 mins

chill step mix #2: 1 hour

(affordable) stationery:

i love having cute stationery, but it can get very pricey if you are constantly going for the studyblr aesthetic! there is a lot of stationery you can get as alternatives to the more expensive stuff

muji: while some muji products can be quite expensive, i find that the notebooks are of good quality and a reasonable price! my favourites are the lined b5 notebooks, lined a4 recycled notebook and the grid b5 recycled notebook

bureau direct: lots of pretty stationery as well as more popular brands for reasonable prices

etsy: i mostly use etsy to buy washi tape and other smaller stationery items as it has countless products to choose from

other v cute (but more expensive) stationery shops:

oelwin’s: my favourite products x x 

poketo: x x x

omoi zakka: x x

writing wise I prefer to use just plain biros as they don’t smudge and I find them easier to write with in general. i use pentel biros which have a 0.7mm tip and i find that they last forever.

apps:

there are loads of apps and google chrome extensions that i like to use either for studying or for school and organisation:

momentum: the new tab background u see on every studyblr chrome

google translate: translate words on the internet by highlighting them chrome

brainscape: find or create flashcards on any subject apple

quizlet: flashcards and other effective study tools chrome apple android

google dictionary: get the definitions of words easily chrome

grammarly: spell check writing on programs as well as websites such as gmail chrome

pocket: save articles, webpages and videos in one place chrome apple android

pomello: to do list combined with pomodoro task timer chrome windows mac linux

mindmeister: mind mapper that can be collaboratively edited chrome apple android

photomath: camera app that solves and explains maths problems apple android

the homework app: student planner and timetable apple

myHomework: student planner for homework and assignments android

President Obama offered to pay for Vice President Biden’s son’s cancer treatment after finding out Biden was considering selling his house to pay for it. That’s really kind but… holy shit. If the *Vice President* has to *sell his house* to pay for healthcare, what chance do regular Americans have? How is anyone still alive in that country?? Australia, do not do anything to creep in the direction of America’s healthcare system. Keep Medicare free. Including frikking pap smears.

Study hacks!

My first post as a new studyblr :D so i started a-levels back in September (A2) and i’ve used some study hacks I thought I would share with you :)

Apples instead of coffee: Apples give sustained energy whilst Coffee stimulates a fight or flight system.

Cold water with lemon in the mornings: This will help you feel more awake and refreshed.

Study with a particular scent in the background: and sleep with that same scent. Your brain will strengthen the memories with that scent better.

Chew a certain flavour of gum whilst studying, and during your test/exam: Chew peppermint gum or a peculiar flavour you may not chew.

Night is a great time for studying: your brain refreshes information when you sleep so spend around 10 minutes studying before you sleep, and quickly review in the morning as the brain is still absorbing some information.

Apply meaning to the information you are studying: if you are learning certain words or phrases then try placing them into a sentence. For example: baby, tennis shoes, chicken, music -> baby in tennis shoes dancing to the chicken dance.

Use mnemonic devices for order: rhyming, acronyms, songs, and associations.

Study while you sleep: record your voice reading out the content you are revising and play it back when you sleep. Your body when asleep can understand the information and will work into your long-term memory.

Reward yourself: after each little bit of studying do something nice like watch youtube videos or eat some sweets :)

Listen to classical/instrumental music: This will help with focusing and allowing you to get some work done!

Change your environment and have all of your materials: ensure you have your essentials so you don’t get distracted by moving to get equipment.

Blue ink helps memorise: I always use this with English lang+lit combined since theres SO MUCH terminology to remember. Writing in blue ink (especially for vocabulary words and flashcards) helps with memorisation.

Know what way of studying works for you: visual? auditory? kinaesthetic? read+write®?

Flashcards are good in emergencies: but they are only good for short-term memory, so only use them as a last resort before your test.

Take short breaks frequently: your brain retains information more easily from the beginning and end of your sessions- so take more sessions. 

Space out your studying: this helps with long term memory, and also make sure to review throughout the time period given.

Know your weak areas: test yourself or have somebody else test you so you can see where some extra revision may be required.

Use active recall: helps change retaining content from short-term memory to long-term memory.

Visual learners:

Create mind maps and concept maps

Colour-co-ordinate your notes

Use visual aids such as flashcards, diagrams, charts and pictures in addition to your class notes

Watch a short clip or movie about your topic

Auditory learners:

Try recording your lectures, notes, etc. and playing them back

Have a group study session (e.g. go to the library, cafe or friend’s house)

Get involved in class discussions

When writing essays and assignments, try reading the material out loud

Make up rhymes or songs about key theories and concepts

Use word association (Think of similar words that can be associated with the concept or definition you are trying to learn)

Kinaesthetic leaners:

Include a physical activity e.g. dance, pacing, acting out concepts or theories.

Build  a 3D model or diorama

Go on a field trip

Read/Write learners:

Take detailed notes in class

Re-write your notes as a revision exercise

Turn diagrams and charts into words

Ask your lecturer or teacher for handouts

Read multiple resources such as the internet, text books, class notes and articles

Write a creative piece about the information you are learning
