La Vie En Rose playing from another room Edith Piaf

08.10.2016 • This is my dorm! I already moved in last week but today my parents brought the rest of my stuff. I really love it here and the first week at uni was good. Met some nice people and the courses are so interesting, but this is still scary and I often feel very lonely.
Week 38 and Week 39 (Two spreads for today because I was late with posting last week.)
I think that week 38 is more productive and busy, but I am really happy with how ecstatic week 39 was (It was our sports fest last Friday)
Now, I’m looking forward to an o-some October

Hello September!! My monthly layout, since the one for August worked so well, I kept it.
Changing into a new Bullet Journal today!! Still nostalgic of my previous one.
🔆 this post is really late, but i thought a post about rec letters could be really helpful for future classes !!! 🔆
💭 why are rec letters important?
they allow colleges to receive a more in-depth academic profile of you than a transcript or GPA
teachers can directly communicate with a college to advocate for you
these letters are written from a more objective standpoint than your own portrayal of yourself in your application
💭 how do i decide who should write my rec letters?
first, look at your college’s specific requirements for a recommendation letter
this will be found on the college’s undergraduate applications website
ex: some colleges want a one counselor rec and one teacher rec, some want three recs with two teachers and an out-of-school source, etc. you just have to make sure to look
most colleges want two letters of recommendation by two different teachers
should be teachers from your junior/senior years, or one who has taught you for multiple years
i personally would recommend one math/science teacher and one humanities teacher
pick a teacher…
whose class you got a good grade in
whose class you genuinely enjoyed
who knows you on a personal level
who will be able to write a personal, customized letter, not just a generic one. colleges will be able to tell if they actually know you and appreciate you as a student based on their language
who you worked with outside the classroom or in an extracurricular setting (bonus, not required)
💭 when should i ask a teacher for a rec letter?
as soon as possible
seriously, these teachers will be swamped with requests for rec letters. the sooner you ask them the sooner yours will be done and the better it will be
ask your teachers during…
the end of junior year
the summer in between junior and senior year
very early in the fall of senior year
💭 how do i ask a teacher for a rec letter?
there are two ways to ask:
pros: you have a digital record of asking them and it’s easier to trade information
cons: the request could easily get lost
in-person
pros: the request is more personal and the teacher is more willing to help when seeing an actual person
cons: you can’t keep reminding them or pestering them, otherwise your teacher will be annoyed
i personally would ask in-person, and then use emails to exchange information or send reminders
once your teacher has accepted your request, send them the following soon after:
a list of colleges they need to send these letters to
any of the colleges’ guidelines or requirements for rec letters
due dates for the rec letters
a résumé (this is just nice for the teacher to have)
any things you want them to explicitly mention in your letter (ex: if you worked really hard on a twenty-page research paper for that class)
anything else they ask for
❔❕ okay, now what?
congrats! you just secured yourself some kickass rec letters
continue to gently remind your teacher until the letters are sent, and send more information if they need it
don’t pester or overdo it
your teachers will send their letters to your colleges
if any problems arise, the teacher will fix it (this year my biology teacher accidentally sent the wrong document so she called all the schools to let them know and she was able to reupload my letter)
BREATHE. SMILE. RELAX.
🔆 i hope this post is helpful! if you have more questions about rec letters or the college process in general, message me !!! 🔆

8.3 my bujo weekly spread from july, my favorite is the top right, from july 10-16

a photo of Wednesday study session. last month is been so hard, i’ve had anxiety and panic and i cried every single day. i didnt study very much and i’ve two exams in about twenty days. wish me luck. + a photo i took in Ireland, two years ago, at the Aran Islands. I wish i could go back, just for one day.
My new bullet journal, my favorite mug, and a postcard from Japan my aunt sent me. Guys. Check out this beautifully staged photo I took (emphasis on the staged). That placement tho. I feel like not many studyblrs are very good at being honest, so let me just tell you how much I had to open my damn blinds to get that top-notch lighting. Lighting. Is. Everything. Anyway, July is coming to an end and next month means registration and the new school year… pretty anxious, but exciting; I gave myself a lot of pep talks this week. As many of you guys have heard, my main goal was to finish The Kite Runner this week, and let me just tell you- you have to read this freaking book. Like, it pretty much ruined my ruined my life, but you have to read it. It was so good. And I don’t give book recs very often, so take this seriously!
Love this 🍋
april 17 || chemistry revision game strong!
hi molly! do you have an advice for a 17 year old whos going into her senior year with the hopes of going to college for art? (I live right near RISD btw!)
hi @timecountess!!
i’m not 100% sure how toanswer this question. like, I can give advice, but there are a lot of betterresources than me!! I need to let you know that I’m only 18, and also that RISDkinda fell into my lap. i worked very hard on my portfolio, but for RISD specifically I didn’t plan on going there until a few days beforeI had to make a decision! so, I’m going to give you a few references that arebetter than me, and then I’ll give you some vague advice.
Keep reading
