Essentials for Class

Your laptop/spirals/tablet/your preferred note-taking medium. For professors that speak quickly and cover a lot of information in a short amount of time before moving on to the next slide, I always like to use my laptop. Some professors prohibit the use of laptops (even for note-taking). So, I like to use a cheap spiral for class in which I will write information/graphics with the knowledge that they don’t have to be perfect. This is just to ensure that I get the information down. When I get home I transfer all of the notes into a nicer spiral to look over later. This also works to help me retain the information! 

My all-time favorite spiral notebooks are the Exceed Five Subject Notebooks. I love these because in the front they have a world map, a punctuation chart, a metric unit conversion chart, spelling rules, a ruler, and a glossary of general reference and research sites.

Loose-leaf paper. This is especially helpful for me because many of my professors will give pop-quizzes/pop-writing assignments. Also great for when a classmate needs to borrow some paper. You can whip it out and make a friend for all semester. 

Personally, I like to use Five Star Reinforced Filler Paper by Mead.

Pencil Bag. Naturally, not having to frantically dig around your backpack for a pen/pencil/highlighter makes your day go so much smoother.

I prefer the Mead Five Star Organizer Pencil Pouch.

My pencil bag comes complete with an assortment of pens, pencils, highlighters, two flash drives, a pencil sharpener, and an entire 50 pack of Crayola Super Tips. Yes, my pencil bag fits that much. 

Laptop charger & phone charger. I recommend purchasing a powerblock as well to ensure that you don’t have to compete over the use of limited outlets. Thousands of college students across the nation fail to charge their electronics nightly, don’t get caught in the crossfires of that feeding frenzy.

Headphones. Something about not having my music while I’m on the bus or walking across campus really kills my mood for the day. 

My planner! Stop writing stuff on your hand or on random pieces of paper. Get yourself a cheap planner. Even if you are not a planner user right now, just forcing yourself to use one for 30 days will forge an unbreakable and life-changing habit! Take it from me. 

To Make Your Day Easier

A small umbrella for those days when the weather goes from 75′ and sunny to raining cats and dogs in 3 seconds. 

A wallet with your IDs and change. I always kick myself when I didn’t have enough change for the vending machines on campus. I kick myself even harder when I have to ask random strangers for 50 cents to buy a scantron/blue book. Also just a good idea to always have some form of ID on you. 

Water bottle. Invest in a super cool, trendy, refillable water bottle to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day. Or just keep refilling the same plastic one. 

Deodorant. This is so silly but I am always forgetting to put on deodorant before I walk out the door and I’m 22. When I get to class I realize I’ve forgotten and panic as the Texas heat encompasses me. Travel-sized deodorants are so beneficial. 

An emergency tampon/pad. Or two!!! Goes without saying. Surprises are always fun until it’s your period. I keep emergency tampons in my truck, in my apron for work, in my backpack, in my horse trailer. I do not play around. 

Ibuprofen/Aspirin 

Light snacks. We’re talking a granola bar or seven to keep your stomach from gurgling when you’re taking that exam and of course everyone showed up to class. 

A flashdrive.

Chapstick, sunscreen, or lotion can also make you more comfortable sitting in class. 

Quick Tips About Backpacks

While, yes, those little fashionable ones are cute, they don’t hold the essentials and can be damaging to your back, causing soreness and discomfort. Buying a Jansport absolutely saved my back and stopped my chronic pain from progressing! 

Obviously there are hundreds of amazing brands of backpacks out there, but I strongly urge you to purchase a bag with:

a sleeve inside for your laptop

at least three pockets - so everything has a place

those little mesh side pockets

adjustable (preferably PADDED) shoulder straps! 

Another thing! I always place my heavier items (laptop & textbooks) CLOSEST to my back. That way the weight doesn’t drag you down backwards and cause back pain (my doctor literally told me this). This is where having multiple pockets is so helpful. 

Adjust your shoulder straps so that you can also maintain good posture while walking. The weight of your backpack + where it sits on your back should not cause you to lean forward or sway backwards in order to compensate. Also fun fact - when I was in middle school I thought it was cool to have a backpack that hung really low (?) and it created a pinched nerve in my neck! Awesome! Don’t be like me! 

Remember that backpacks -while they can absolutely be super cute and trendy- are meant to possess functionality. Your backpack should carry the essentials you need to have a successful and comfortable day at class.

Lastly, 10/10 would recommend cleaning out your backpack frequently! Make sure it stays organized and free of clutter. I also like to make sure I take all of my spirals and planner out of my backpack each day after class so that after I rest for a bit - I know I have things I need to get to. 

Organizing Your Backpack - By Pockets

-Largest pocket (closest to your back): 

Heavier items such as your laptop, binders, textbooks, loose leaf paper and planner. Laptop should go inside the sleeve (if applicable). 

-Second largest pocket

Items such as your pencil bag, chargers, and umbrella.

-Smallest pocket

Items that you won’t be pulling in and out too frequently, such as headphones, deodorant, chapstick, a flashdrive, snacks, wallet, keys, painkillers, and your emergency tampons (if applicable). 

-Side pockets

Here I obviously like to keep my water bottle or coffee thermos. If you have more than one pocket this is also a great place to keep your little umbrella.

Happy studying, realistic students!

[study-at-the-disco-deactivated2]

Hello! I am C, a 4th year engineering college student with a studyblr  (mochasandchemicals). There are really good note-taking apps/softwares out there, but I haven’t seen a single post featuring OneNote which surprises me because it is very easy to use, accessible, and it is an alternative for devices that do not support GoodNotes such as  windows tablets, tablet laptops, touch laptops, and Microsoft Surfaces.

I personally prefer physical notebooks, but digital notes are a really good option for school, college, and even planners or bujos

1) it saves physical space and mess

2) it is eco friendly

3) saves money (some school supplies are a lil expensive nowadays)

So here’s a quick guide I prepared to OneNote’s features and tools

Overview:  It is very user friendly as it comes with the Microsoft Office bundle we all have been using since elementary school and features the same tools and layout of the other softwares. If you know how to use Word or Powerpoint, you already know how to use OneNote.

Notebooks: You can create as many notebooks as you want, each with as many sections as you want to add, with infinite pages per section. Pages are also of infinite length. I like to create a notebook per semester and use the sections for the classes to avoid messiness, but you can also create a notebook for a single subject and use the sections for sub topics or chapters if you feel like the course demands it.

Pages: Pages come with the date they were created on the top, and a space to write it’s title or topic. Everything you do gets auto-saved, so there’s no need to worry about losing your work because of software crashes or low battery. Also, you can type on them wherever you click to, there isn’t an established paragraph format, and you can write or draw with your finger or stylus.

Pens: Under the tab ‘Draw’ there are pre-determined pens and highlighters, which you can always customize thickness and color for both and the thickness of the eraser. You can move and resize what you write or draw and even select just a part of it and work with it. There are also shapes and mathematical planes to insert, and what you write with the stylus or hand can be converted to typed text or math symbols.

Images & Attachment: You can add images and pictures, Excel’s spreadsheets, videos, links, bullets and numbering, record audio (always ask for permission before recording a lecture! Also, it let’s you make notations with the times of the recording, so when you go back to your notes you can remember why and for what you wrote what you wrote) and videos, add mathematical equations, and make an image a background.

View: Under the tab ‘View’ you can choose to work with the settings that most suits you; whether lined pages, or grid or plain, its color, and a paper size if needed. You can have the normal view or fill your screen with the entire page and zoom in and out (also with scroll or fingers) for better stylus writing, convenience and comfort.

Other tools: As in any other MSO software you can share and co write, review your grammar, password protect a section, link notes to documents and other types of files, copy and paste, customize text with all Word’s available fonts, print pages, and export notebooks, sections or pages like a document to email and share.

If you would like to learn more about it, clarify doubts, or see how do I use it and my experience with it, feel free to message me!

[emmastudies]

Hey, I was wondering if you could make like a list of your go to school supplies and what you recommend for school because I’m having a hard time finding good pencils, pens and highlighters to use. BTW love your feed

Hello :-) Of course, my recommendations would be:

a backpack - the best solution for carrying around a lot of things! I tried going with a shoulder bag on my first day of university and it was the worst thing ever!!!! Never again will I do that to myself! Get yourself a sturdy backpack with strong straps! You, your back and your shoulders will thank me later! I use a 13″ laptop version Fjallraven Kanken, it is really awesome. Very practical, comfy and waterproof. My only dislike is how the zips go so far around the whole bag. I always get nervous that someone behind me will unzip it and steal my purse or whatever it sitting at the bottom.

a 4 ring binder (and plastic sleeves) - any brand will do really! I would recommend getting one per subjects since it saves running out of space if you try to fit things into one. It is also sometimes cheaper to purchase several at once! This stay at home though!

notebooks - I use a single Arc Notebook for all my subjects and love it. I find it easier to have a single notebook with dividers, rather than carrying several individual books. However, any notebook(s) would be fine. You can decide if you’d like spiral, A4 or A5, etc.

OR a tablet for digital notetaking - this depends on how you plan to do your notes but I’ve recently been using our family iPad Pro for university and absolutely love it. It is so convenient, easy to use, and fun! Writing with the pencil is so smooth. I can change colours, mistakes, placement so fast. I think it has helped me be much more productive than any other semester! 

planner - this can be any you like or even digital version! I tend to go for smaller planner if I’m actually taking it to uni. Here is are some recommendations. Here is a review on the Mossery Co planner. Here is my 2017 bullet journal. Here is a detailed pros and cons list of a planner vs bullet journal. There is also my printable or digital 2018 student planner or 2018 weekly planner :-)

pens - I would recommend getting a pack with a selection of colours. I usually recommend the Staedtler 432 pens since they’re well priced, easily accessible, come in packs and don’t smudge. I don’t see the point in buying huuuuge packs with a million pens but 10 to 12 is more than enough. Other pens I like are the Pilot G2 and Juice, Staedtler Triplus Fineliners, Zebra Sarasa, Muji Gel Pens. Obviously, you don’t need a million different packs! To be super simple, I’d say the Zebra Sarasa is my favourite at the moment. Here is a more detailed comparison though!

highlighters - I use the cool, warm and light packs of the Zebra Mildliners. I’ve used the Stabilo Swing Cool in the past and they were good! I think having a selection that matches your pens is so helpful when you’ve organised a colour code.

pencil case - I only take a few pens to uni so my pencil is only small. I don’t think it’s necessary to take a huge pencil case so just any will be okay! I have one from Muji and one from Emma Bridgewater!

etc - this goes for post-it notes, page flags, etc! I love to-do list pads and post-it notes to help keep me organised!

printables - I’ve uploaded a few to my Tumblr and some more to my Etsy! (You can use ‘student10’ to get 10% off any purchase!)

I hope this helps and thank you!! xx

Summer Tips II: How to take notes- The Cornell Method

The Cornell Note taking system has been around for a while, and I think a majority of the studyblr community has heard of it, but I thought I would make you guys a little guide for how exactly this method works. It’s great for taking concise, and easy to study, notes. Hopefully this will help you guys!

[studybowie-blog]

I’m an early bird: I like to wake up around 6 am, get ready, just taking my time and then start working. Even when I don’t have school, If I wake up after 8 am I feel like I’ve already wasted half of my day. I think waking up early is the key to a productive life so these are just a few tips to follow if you want to become a morning (and more productive) person🌸

don’t dine late 🍑 You should always wait 2-3 hours after your last meal before going to sleep. I used to eat and then go to bed in 30mins-1hour… just changing this habit improved my sleep a lot!!

plan + prep 🍑 Before bed I always prepare my school/work stuff, food, clothes etc to avoid rushing in the morning. I also like to have a general idea of what I’ll do the next day. (Check the weather report as well!)

get more BETTER sleep 🍑 Following the sleep cycle theory is the best way to get a good night’s sleep! If you wake up at the end of a cycle, you’ll feel well-rested. On the other hand, if you “interrupt” a cycle you’ll feel tired no matter how many hours you’ve slept. Each cycle lasts about 90 mins and, on average, we need ~15 mins to fall asleep. There are tons of apps for this, too. I personally stick to sleepyti.me. 

know your sleeping habits 🍑 It is important, however, to know how many hours of sleep you should get (according to your age) as well as the ACTUAL amount of sleep you need to feel rested… and that’s up to you, ‘cause we’re all different! For example, I sleep a lil less than I should for my age but it still works.

drink water 🍑 This aspect is SO underrated oh my god- if you wake up tired even after 9 hours of good sleep, it’s probably because you’re dehydrated! Drink a glass of water before going to sleep (it helps lowering your body temperature too)!

speaking of temperature… 🍑 It is thought that the best room temperature for sleep should be between 60-67°F (16-20°C)

no light, no light 🍑 Stay away from artificial light (computer, phone, tv etc) 15-30 mins before going to bed. I’m guilty here, since I always check my phone before sleeping… 😰 Turn off your electronics and do something else: take care of yourself, your skin, take a shower, have some chamomile, read a book, stretch&meditate…

set your alarm 🍑 I wake up almost every day 5-10 mins before my alarm: that’s because our bodies gradually get used to our routine (the so-called biological clock!) Anyway, to avoid sleeping in, I recommend you to set an alarm. Additional tips are changing the tune every week and putting your phone across your room.

wake up 🍑 To actually wake yourself up the first thing you wanna do is wash your face with cold water. Yes, even if it’s winter. Sorry, I don’t make the rules! (I like to do some yoga stretches too but it’s optional)

get ready 🍑 Have a shower, get ready, morning routine… do your thing! Remember to always take some time for yourself. Don’t rush it. Take your time. It’s the best part of the day.

NEVER skip breakfast 🍑 Please please please for the love of God you should always eat something within 1 hour after waking up. Drink plenty of water too!! Check out my feed your brain masterpost for more!

plan your day out 🍑 While having breakfast I write all the tasks I have to do in my planner (I watch the news and check my instagram too haha). If you don’t like planners I suggest you to write everything on a piece of paper you’ll eventually throw away. The key here is to free your mind from thoughts, problems and focusing on important things.

Now gather up all your things and you’re ready to go!

ways to stay productive in summer-

1. learn a new language-

ah, all the time in the world we all have during summer! currently, i’m trying to learn Italian, which isn’t too hard because my first language was Spanish. if you all want a different post on how i got started tell me!

2. start a bullet journal-

with no school in your schedule, you have time to make your bullet journal as complicated or as simple as you’d like. i recently bought a journal and used it as a bujo. i love it!

3. practice your handwriting-

i know many people hate their own handwriting, but how are you going to like it if you don’t practice! i’ve changed my handwriting completely this summer. if you guys want a post about it let me know.

4. make a studyblr/blog-

that’s what i did! i’ve started my studyblr, instagram, and blog (all are linked on my tumblr page ;) )

5. practice calligraphy-

i’ve learned how to do calligraphy with Crayola markers. it’s very easy once you get the hang of it. There are plenty of tutorials online.

6. clean your room-

it’s a great time to clean your room! i know when it’s the school year i never have time to be cleaning my room. you can do a deep decluttering because you probabaly haven’t in a while…

7. DO YOUR SUMMER HOMEWORK-

please for the love of god, do! your! summer! homework! if! you! have! it! i finished my summer homework a couple weeks ago, but my friends still haven’t started. i’m saving their butts by helping them with it. i know plenty of people are going to start doing it two days before school starts. please don’t be one of those people.

8.read!-

i know a lot of people don’t like to read but maybe with your summer boredom you’ll get so bored that you’ll want to read? currently, i’m reading Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare.

9. try to prepare for the upcoming school year-

look up your classes and research about them. it’s good to start preparing for what you’re going to learn. it helps so when you go over those subjects in class, you can excel in it ;)

10. relax-

this is summer. your free time. relax and get ready for another stressful school year <3
