journal idea: take small trips as often as possible, to explore the world , explore your home first. there is so much more than you might think just a six hour drive away. document every trip.

030217 – gosh, life has been busy. i signed on to assistant produce Spring Awakening right after my show ended (to no one’s surprise), rushed APO and am loving the people so far (go me for doing the unexpected), & am taking more credits than anticipated. hope everyone’s year has been lovely so far.

hello! the studyblr community is constantly growing, so i thought i’d make a post to help new studyblrs get started. i hope this helps you!! (header inspired by rifle paper co.)

- ̗̀ general information ̖́-

studyblr = study + tumblr! the studyblr community is incredibly supportive, and there are so many valuable resources and kind people out there to help you. anyone can be a studyblr. you don’t need expensive stationery to be productive and successful! here are some useful links and chrome extensions:

what’s a bullet journal? by @studypetals

calligraphy and hand lettering

momentum (a studyblr favorite!)

xkit (a tumblr lifesaver pls download xkit omg)

lanes (new tab w pomodoro timer)

plan & my study life (organizes ur daily tasks!)

mendeley (research lifesaver!)

lagom (super cute tab page)

gistnote (highlight on ur computer!)

- ̗̀ setting up your studyblr ̖́-

create a unique url. many people incorporate their name or interests into their urls somehow. for example, my url is studyplants because i love all kinds of flowers and plants. @studyquill​‘s studyblr url generator may give you some inspiration! feel free to check out my saved urls page as well :)

find a theme. your theme will help you stand out! a clean and organized theme will help you and others find useful posts. i’ve included some of my favorite theme makers and specific themes to give you some ideas:

acuite​  [ calypso / clio / thalia ]

sorrism [ helium / breezeblocks /  kindred ]

felinum [ bakovia / shortcake / mediocre ]

- ̗̀  getting started + original content  ̖́-

the introduction post. this should be your first studyblr post! it’s never too late to introduce yourself. be sure to include your name (if you’re comfortable with that!) and whether you’re a high school, college student, etc. you can also talk about your interests and what you hope to accomplish by making a studyblr. finally, mention some of your favorite studyblrs! you can look at other people’s studyblr introductions here. 

studyblr photos. you can photograph anything, from your notes to your workspace to the contents of your pencil case. keep in mind that most studyblr photos are edited. you definitely don’t have to do that, but if you do, here are my secrets for editing photos. some people use the vsco app, but i just edit from my iphone 5. 

step 1: change the cast!! you’ll find this under the color settings. basically you just need to give your photo a slight blue tint. trust me, it makes a huge difference!

step 2: adjust the lighting! i like to play around with exposure, brightness, black point, and contrast until i find a good balance

masterposts. if you’re not comfortable posting photos but you have tips you want to share, i’d recommend making a masterpost! you can include useful links and your own advice. making a cool header image (like the one on this post hehe) can make your masterpost stand out. my all-time favorite resource for this is canva. it has TONS of free templates and fonts. you can read all about it here. 

- ̗̀  final thoughts  ̖́-

i really hope this helps you! if you have any intros or studyblr posts you want to share with me, i track #studyplants. this is ironic because i’m actually pretty shy, but i’d definitely suggest putting yourself out there and trying to make new friends! you can start by tagging lots of studyblrs in your original posts or by messaging some of your favorite bloggers. good luck!

2017 YA books with Muslim protagonists:

The Gauntlet by Karuna Riazi  That Thing We Call a Heart by Sheba Karim  Amina’s Voice by Hena Khan  Saints and Misfits by S.K. Ali  Mirage by by Somaiya Daud  The Secret Lives of the Amir Sisters by Nadiya Hussain  The Authentics by Abdi Nazemian  The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty The Other Half of Happiness by Ayisha Malik  The Promise I will Keep by Aisha Saeed 

[shudesigns]

So I came across to this Chrome extension called Palettab that can turn your new tab page into a random typography and palette inspiration wall. If you click on the swatch, the hex code will be copied automatically. You can also be re-directed to the palette page or the Google font page. It’s pretty neat and amusing. Enjoy!

When you take notes on a chapter but the test barely asks about it *sigh* Went to the Women’s March today and I loved it so much the weather was so beautiful and everyone was so nice and the signs were great and the people driving were honking along with the chants and the police blocking the roads were on horses it was amazing and it gives me hope for this country ♡
