I had my first day of clinicals for the semester and I got to go see the NICU!! It was so incredible to finally be where I’ve wanted to be since starting nursing school!
I also had a presentation during clinicals today, took a quiz in clinical, and took another quiz online that I hadn’t expected to be able to get to doing today. I prepared for tomorrow, and now I’m ready to try to get some sleep before I start what might be the second craziest day this week!
Just thinking about people making year-end summaries of their accomplishments and also about reasons to keep yourself alive through the next year. Sorry, it’s a bit of a sappy comic.

I wish you
Clear skin
4.0 GPA
Focus
Clear goals
Love
Affection
Peace
Self love
Good things from the universe
Goal each week:
Break a bad habit and replace it with a good one. Repeat it until it becomes second nature.
This will be my goal for this year, starting with staying up and sleeping in super late. I want to try to get myself on a better sleep schedule, especially with early mornings at work this semester!
My apologies
So last semester was one of the craziest of my life, my mental and physical health were worse than they have ever been, and a lot of things were happening with family back home that I couldn’t be there for when they needed me. All of this to say, I’m very sorry for not being more active recently, but as you can tell there were a few other things on my mind!
I hope to get more active and start contributing more to the studyblr community, but I just want to address the fact that all or most of us are students with our own struggles, and I want to remind everyone to be patient with yourself and others. If you have a day when things are just crazy and you can’t find time to work on that post you’ve been meaning to get up, or you are at your worst health wise and can’t even seem to get out of bed, just know that as long as you are still doing your best for whatever point you are at you can still be just as proud of yourself as you would be if you were still on top of everything and staying ahead in school.
The world tries to tell us that we have to be productive and we have to keep moving forward, but sometimes you need to take a step back from the world’s expectations and rest, and that’s ok!

It’s been forever since I’ve posted! This semester has been the most difficult one I’ve experienced so far with work, struggling to pass classes, financial headaches, and family problems!
Luckily, today my clinical experience was cancelled so I’ve had all day to sleep in, do some laundry, work on a group project, and study for a big exam on Wednesday.
I have work this afternoon and then a pretty open evening, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to get lots more done after work!
study like a gryffindor: break out the good snacks and pump the music, use breaks as a time to work out, go to the professor’s office hours when you have questions, be confident in your ability to succeed
study like a hufflepuff: organize study groups, do your readings in your comfiest sweaters, write your own notes and study guides from the textbook, be unafraid of the hard work that studying takes
study like a ravenclaw: think critically when re-reading notes, quiz yourself while brushing your teeth, tackle the hardest practice problems, know that you have the skills to get it done
study like a slytherin: use every resource available to study, use your notes to make your own lecture, challenge yourself by setting goals even if you’re not sure you can achieve them, be proud when you do well
So much yes!

I have been soooo bad about posting! It’s been about a month since I posted, and I had meant to be much better about it!
School has been crazy, especially these past two weeks with my first exams and clinicals.
Today, I had a class this morning, came back to my room and prepped for clinicals, studied for my clinical quiz, went to the school’s health center to update my insurance, went to clinicals, and then came back and studied a bit more for my exam tomorrow. All in all, I definitely would have liked to get more done and reviewed more for my exam, but I’m pretty proud of everything I’ve done today. I have been exhausted and stressed out with everything that’s going on in school, work, and life, so everyday I get out of bed and get something done feels like an accomplishment right now.
Hey! so i just created my very first studygram (shameless self promo @decafstudy follow me) and one of my irl friends saw my stories and posts and asked “How many hours does your day have? ´cause mine only has 24″ and that got me thinking abt how i take the most advantage of my days to make them feel (or look) 48 hours long! Here are a few of the things I incorporate on my daily student life to be more productive!
• IF YOUR FIRST CLASS STARTS LATE IN THE MORNING WAKE UP 2 HOURS EARLIER THAN NEEDED i know, am i crazy? ok so here´s the deal. If your first class starts, let´s say, at 11:00 A.M you might be tempted to wake up at 10:00 A.M, get dressed, and head to school. Not only does this create bad habits for when you get assigned a 7:00 A.M class (which will happen) but you lose MANY HOURS OF PRECIOUS TIME. Get your 8-9 hours of sleep and do not let yourself wake up later than needed. My class sometimes starts at 11:30 A.M so i wake up at 8:00 have a nice morning, relax, work out a bit, light up a candle and get ahead on reading and work for school! Your day will start and feel more productive!
• NEVER LEAVE CLASS WITH A DOUBT ON YOUR MIND I know this might create anxiety for people who are shy and do not like asking questions during class (i am one of those people) If you feel just too scared to ask during class APPROACH THE TEACHER AFTER CLASS ENDS. as soon as he dismisses class, approach him and ask the question. If you are not able to do so DO NOT STRESS, BUT WRITE THAT QUESTION DOWN ASAP ON A POST IT AND STICK IT YOUR NOTEBOOK. that way you will have the question at hand and you can seek tutoring later and ask, or even ask a friend BUT NEVER LET A QUESTION GO, NEVER think “i will ask it later” BECAUSE YOU WON´T and IT WILL DOOM YOU. This will save so much time when you study, because all your questions will be at hand and you will know what you have to focus on studying.
• WHENEVER YOU HAVE FREE TIME, USE IT TO WORK WHILE DOING SOMETHING FUN instead of just diving head first into watching a movie, ask yourself if there is something more productive that you could be doing rn (reading ahead, reviewing, doing extra math exercises) if the answer is yes, then put that movie on mute and work while taking a peek at the movie ever once in a while. This will not only help you with discipline and learning to keep yourself from distractions, but it will occupy your free time in something that your future self will thank you for later on.
• NEVER ASSUME THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT LATER again, think in terms of your FUTURE SELF how much would your future self love it if instead of studying 3 days before the exam, you studied a week before it? How much would your future self love it of instead of reading until 12:00 PM tomorrow, you divided the reading between today and tomorrow? never assume that you will have spare time ahead because chances are that you won´t and you will end up with A BUNCH of work that you didn´t do and that you can´t do at the moment. FUTURE SELF THINKING has saved my life.
• LEAVE TIME OPEN FOR MENTAL HEALTH/PHYSICAL/RECREATIVE CARE as much as i always put work first, I KEEP MY THERAPIST VISIT AND MY GYM ROUTINE STABLE no matter how much work i have. This helps me feel more balanced and like i am on top of everything, not just school, feeling good=more productivity.
• POMODORO TECHNIQUE i know many people know about this but if you don´t, this is basically a studying technique in which you work or study for 25-30 minutes straight NO DISTRACTIONS and then have a 5-6 minute break, and then repeat the process as many hours as you need. This really helps me not get burnt out when I have a heavy load of work. Watching study with me videos on yt is a good way of keeping the pomodoro system going. Some good apps that I use for POMODORO are Forest and Tide.
• HAVE AN APP CARPET ON YOUR PHONE THAT IS CALLED “PRODUCTIVITY” ie. download a BUNCH of cute as hell apps that help you get motivated and organised when you look at them. This will make you more prone to look at your phone as an INSTRUMENT rather than a DISTRACTION. (my fave apps are Taskade, Forest, Tide, Brainscape and Pocket)
• Lastly, GET MOTIVATED i know this sounds cliché, but the reason why i love keeping my day busy is because i surround myself with a romanticised idea of studying. Doing these kinds of posts, following a bunch of accounts with pretty notes, having a clean room and desk, going to the library and appreciating the color scheme or sounds around you, listening to relaxing sounds or music while working, downloading many pretty apps to keep myself on track while having a cute aesthetic… all of these things might seem small, but they make you feel cleaner, more balanced and more prone to LIKING the work you do.
Anyways i know most of you already do these cause yall are on top of your game alllll the tiiiiime girl, but if any of these helps, ill be very happy!

8/16/18-Today was my last day of training and tomorrow is the start of new student orientation! I’m super excited but also kind of nervous because this is going to push me outside of my comfort zone a lot.
I still have more unpacking to work on and an intro for one of my classes, but today may just be one of those days where I’m productive by doing something for myself instead of by actually checking things off my to do list.
Tomorrow and Saturday, I will spend most of my day greeting new students and helping out with some of the events planned for them, but then I really need to crack down on getting stuff done and preparing for classes to start on Wednesday.
Hello! A few followers of mine requested a post on my note taking system so here it is.
My notes The above picture is of my Arc Notebook and is a collection of classwork and textbook information! When I’m writing notes I have to always write the date. I always mark down the dates on any worksheets I receive and sometimes add the topic of the class into the calendar on my computer. During classes, I try to pay as much attention as I can. Especially to the information which the teacher emphasises! Class notes are usually really scruffy or I type them and then I will later rewrite/condense and add after class. I find this pretty helpful, however if I miss a day I usually fall behind and end up with a lot more work to do! For rewriting the notes, I look at the syllabus and make sure I write something for each topic. I use colour coding to help too. I refer to the notes from class and other textbooks or the Internet! Having a selection of resources is really useful for understanding your topics. I am also trying to create even simplified topic notes to print later.
My work layout For starters, with a new topic I start on new paper. So I can easily find the one topic without having to make it by a title page or something, like in a regular exercise book! Titles are the sections of the syllabus which my notes relate to. Titles and always in black, underlined and capitalised. My notes are mainly in black and always in dot point form. I prefer having small sections of sentences compared to large chunks of writing. As you can see at points my writing goes in. I measure each time at either 1cm, 2cm or 3cm depending on the indent. Usually these notes are important for the line above, for instance an example or a definition. Also, you can see some sentences with arrows (either green or pink) underneath the sentences, these are just additional information which is relevant for either understanding or just interesting! I also leave one line between each section for easier reference.
My colour coding system I’ve had a lot of messages about this so I thought I should include it! I use the Staedtler Triplus Fineliners for all these notes. I use black as the normal note taking. Red is for the topic of sentence, because I use dot point form the red makes the work stand out so I can quickly refer to that sentence! I don’t use red in every sentence, usually only if I’ve begun talking about something else. I use light blue for terms that I need to remember or are important. I find this useful in all my subjects! Dark blue is for names of people/places/businesses/etc and abbreviations. Orange is for examples and are usually indented by 1cm. I use green for relevant information to help understanding or to clarify and as previously mentioned, I use an arrow and indent at 1cm. I use pink for generally interesting information which isn’t needed but good for showing knowledge. I find colour coding useful, but it makes note taking quite a timely process but it does look pretty!
Overall, my note taking isn’t very complicated and pretty easy to recreate! I hope some of you find this post at least a little helpful. Check out emmastudies.tumblr.com/tagged/me for more. Feel free to message me if theres anything else! :-)
@emmastudies, you’re such a blessing! I was looking for a new notetaking system and yours might work well for me :)

8/14/18-Yesterday I moved back in to my dorm, and today I’ve spent most of my day working on unpacking and reorganizing my things. I had a training meeting tonight for my part of helping with new and transfer student orientation this weekend.
Tomorrow, I have more training, and I will hopefully finish getting my room all set up.
This week is going to be so weird because I need to start getting ready for classes and things, but I don’t have any of my syllabi yet so I can’t even start putting things into my bujo or anything. Oh well, I guess I’ll just try to enjoy the calm before the storm!

7/30/18-Well, only two weeks until I move back into my dorm! Today I scheduled a couple of appointments, ran some errands, and mailed my first school payment for this semester.
Tomorrow, i have a chiropractor appointment, some shopping to do, and then I need to try to work on packing to go back to school. Here’s hoping I can get something accomplished so I don’t end up packing at the last second again!

7/17/18-Today has been insane, my alarm never went off this morning so I was a little late getting to work and I still only managed to get about 4 hours of sleep last night! Then, at work, we’ve been having a lot of people calling off or not showing up so I ended up staying late to help cover for someone before driving an hour out of my way before going home so that I could pick something up for my mom.
Now that I’m home, and I took a quick nap I’m going to shower, and then maybe try to work on my bujo before I go to bed. Tomorrow is the first day of a full week of working 6am-2pm all but two days, and one of the two days I will be covering a shift at my other job for someone who covered a shift for me last week. It’s going to be a very long week, especially since I really need to buckle down and start studying on a regular basis again.
i made a 6 week summer plan!!
i’m going to following along roughly with this plan myself!! i’ve got big goals for self-improvement and detox this summer and i just want to start autumn afresh with big goals and hopes for the future!!
all my love ~
This looks like such a good way to get a fresh start before school starts back up!
