Things all studyblrs should know

1. Don’t study all the time. It’s counter productive, you will feel tired and worn out and like you haven’t accomplished anything. Nobody can focus for hours on end. 2. Find a study method which works for you. Personally, I study in two slots when out of school. Early morning and early evening. I enjoy the rest of my day and relax. When in school, I spend about two and a half hours on homework per night, from 6.30 to 9:00. From then on, I don’t worry about it. 3. Expensive stationery is not a must-have. Don’t feel bad about not having branded stuff, use whatever you can. 4. Look after your health. Exercise, drink water, eat as clean as you can. Sleep 7-9 hours per night, don’t alter your sleeping pattern by more than two hours, maintain it during the weekend. 5. Bad grades are not the end of the world. You can accept them, and move on. If you get a bad grade often you will procrastinate any other assignments on the subject out of fear of failure. Push past that fear. If you keep working and get a better grade, the fear will diminish. 6. Be nice to your teachers. Even the assholes. 7. Do your best and after you hand the assignment in, forget about it. Stressing over your grade will get you nowhere and leave you echausted. 8. Be honest with yourself and be realistic. Are you procrastinating? Are you making up excuses? Are you being lazy? Be honest. 9. Take breaks. It’s okay if you don’t run today, it’s okay if you don’t make progress. Take a break and carry on tomorrow. 10. Be proud of yourself. You’re doing great!

fall is the perfect time to date someone imo… like it’s chilly so you can both get bundled up and go for coffee dates and walk through parks and take cute fall photos and come home and get all snuggly under blankets and watch halloween movies like how perfect would that be

HOW TO DO WELL IN ONLINE CLASSES

Now that a new school year is underway, I thought it would be helpful to make a post about online classes. More and more schools are offering them and/or incorporating an online component into the regular school day. Online classes are nothing like regular classes and it’s important to approach them differently to maximize your success. I’ve taken one online class already and am taking another four this year. Hopefully, this post will help you out :)

1. BE ORGANIZED

I can’t stress how important this is. In an online class, no one’s going to tell you to do your work or make you do it. This is what I think is the most difficult part of the online class; it’s all about self-motivation and how well you stick to deadlines. Buy a planner and write all the deadlines for your classes in it. It will help immensely. Seeing the deadlines each day will help you obviously be more aware of them and (hopefully!) never miss one. Online classes do penalize late work so be on top of things.

2. WORK AHEAD

This will make your life loads easier. The good thing about online classes is that assignments typically are easier/shorter than you would have in an actual class. Thus you can get them done faster. Whenever you have a free block of time, try to chip away at them. The more you get done, the less work you’ll have. I had a friend who finished the entire first semester of her online AP Stats class in one month and had the hour as a study hall. Getting things done earlier is in your benefit because then you get more time to study for that AP Bio test or edit your English essay. My rule of thumb is to always be one week ahead in your material. This means having all the assignments due the next week done a week early. It will help you never miss a deadline and have a little less stress in your life.

3. TAKE NOTES

Even though most online classes don’t require it, do it! It’s really easy to forget things if you just read them passively off your computer screen. Taking notes is a habit you should build for every class you take but especially for online classes where you have less interactions to help cement the ideas in your brain. The notes don’t have to be on paper (though there are studies that show that writing things down helps you remember things better); you can make a folder for your specific class on your computer and for every chapter or unit make a document with notes you typed. They will help for the assignments and for future tests/exams.

4. SAVE YOUR OLD ASSIGNMENTS

Don’t delete an assignment after you do it. Store it! Again, it’s good review along with your notes for exams and tests you might have. If you worry that they’ll take more space on your computer, get an external hard drive and store them there. But always have them because they’re a good resource.

5. THE INTERNET IS YOUR BEST FRIEND

Obviously since you’re taking an online class you’ll be on the internet for a while so don’t be afraid to look for resources to help supplement your learning. There are plenty of quizlets, documents, etc. to help you study, review, or learn the material. It’s also important that if your course has a recommended textbook that you purchase it or have the school purchase it. The added information besides what the class offers will help a ton. 

6. DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP

This goes with out saying but it’s especially important for online classes. It can be hard to not have a teacher with you every day to ask questions and to consult with. But your online class should have a teacher that is there to grade your assignments. If you don’t understand something or need help, send them an email! Don’t struggle with something because you think you can’t get help. 99% of the time the online teachers are qualified and mostly friendly so ask them for help! Don’t ruin your grades out of stupidity.

8. CHECK YOUR GRADES OFTEN

With an online class you’re not getting physical tests or assignments back with your grades. Most likely the will be listed somewhere on your online provider’s website Check them often. It will help you stay on track and see where you need to improve. It’s easy to forget about them if you don’t check them so make sure you always know what grade you have in the class.

9. STAY FOCUSED

This should go without saying. If you’re online for a class, don’t be on tumblr while you’re trying to complete an assignment. Treat the class as you would any other class. Do your work and take it seriously. It would also help if you could find a study buddy or someone who’s taking the same class as you or has taken the same class. I know it’s not ideal but if you can find someone, partner up and tackle the class together. It will make the class more enjoyable. 

I hope this post gave you some insight on how to tackle online classes. If you need some help or have any questions, my ask box is always open :) Have fun and good luck!

How I deal with school stress

School stress. I can’t even describe or put in words how horrible it is. Bleh! Let’s just get right into the tips I have for you.

While working:  a. manage your time. Having a set schedule will make you feel in control of everything that you need to do and, if you’re like me, you actually relax while planning.  b. have a clean desk. Keeping your work space neat, organized and without clutter will prevent you from getting ditracted, from getting stressed (clutter makes me panic) and, again, will make you feel in control.  c. taking breaks. Five study sessions that last only an hour, are better that five hours. Every hour take a 15 minute break: have a cup of tea (I’d avoid coffee, maks you more stressed), step outside and breath some fresh air, drink some water, call up a friend and then get back to work (I try to avoid electronics because they switch my brain off).

At night:  a. Set a limit. Don’t study up to the second you go to bed. Stop studying one or two hours before going to bed and give yourself some time to unwind.  b. Relax. Do something that relaxes you before bed. I personally like to drink some nice tea, put on some relaxing music and read. When I go to bed I’m more relaxed: tomorrow is another day.

All of these tips can be summarised in to two main tips:

Be in control. Everyone panicks when things are slipping out of hand.

Unwind. Take breaks. Your brain can’t function more than two hours. Learn to let go and to lve yourself, studying is important, but it doesb’t come before you and your health.

Now relax, and remember books can always save us!

Someone tell me if I'm the only one who has work to do but people keep changing her plans!!!!!!

[impossiblyspookyprincess-blog]

In this post I’ll be telling you about my holiday in the UK, I went there for a month to visit my dad and I was incredibly busy. Right now I’m in Sicily (I live in Rome) for a week and I’ll write about that when I get back.

I arrived in London on the 23rd of July at around 10PM and for that night and the entire day after I relaxed, rested  and caught up on some lost sleep. I had a few quiet days in my neighbourhood and on the 31st headed to Oxford Circus to do some shopping. I needed two things: underwear and a jacket (I was going to leave for Scotland the next day and I didn’t have any kind of hoodie or coat), both of which I found in Topshop (don’t get me started on how Topshop is the perfect shop for anyone and any occasion). The next day I caught the early morning train to Glasgow and from there a coach to Ardrishaig, the small town where my grandmother lives, and slept the whole way through the journey. The weather was pretty miserable for days but we managed to cut out a few hours of sunshine one afternoon that we spent in a beautiful nature reserve which turned unexpectedly in a flawless Scottish beach, where of course I took boatloads of pictures. The sixth of August my grandmother drove us to Edinburgh (for my cousin’s 2nd birthday) where we spent a few days. While I was there I managed to catch two shows and two exhibitions taking full advantage of the Edinburgh arts festival. The first night we went to Ilona Szalay’s exhibition which was very interesting and stimulating (good way to get ready for school). Another really laudable exhibition was at the Fruitmarket Gallery (Phyllida Barlow, you should seriously check her out). I also watched a kid’s show (Trash Test Dummies) with my aunt and 5 year old cousin, and an incredible Korean dance and drums show. Unfortunately I don’t remember the rest of my holiday in details (I’m actually on a plane from Sicily to Rome right now) but I do know that it mostly involved Topshop, Forever 21 and family reunions. Since I’m an (aspiring) studyblr I wrote only about the more cultural and academic events.

when to complain about teachers

-when they’re abusive

-when they’re bigoted

-when they marginalize certain students bc of disability, race, gender identity, etc

-when they teach poorly

-when they willfully spread misinformation

-when they refuse to consider student feedback

-when they abuse their authority in any way

when to stop being a douche and give your damn teacher a break

-when they take more than one night to grade your shit

-when you opted not to follow the instructions they clearly dispensed

-when they’re forced to teach state curriculum regardless of their own feelings or beliefs

-when they come in tired

-when your class is being douchewads and the teacher expresses irritation

-when they’re a decent but overworked and underpaid human

Why Being Clean and Organized brings you more success

Let us talk about hygiene and being clean! This is not only with your body, but also with your mind and space!

1. Keep your body clean on the outside. 

This means showering often, taking care of personal hygiene such as cutting your nails, keeping your nail-polish fresh and nice, keeping the routine hair in check (shaving, tweezing, haircut etc). Dressing well, putting on makeup if desired, wearing clean clothes, appropriate shoes, etc. This also means working out at least 3 times a week for at least 30 mins, (this is a rough estimate). Looking better makes us feel better, and thus, we are more likely to be more successful! Things to do to keep your body clean on the outside; buy fitness clothes and accessories if needed-they help us be more motivated. Set up a time to go work out at the gym or simply outside, set up what you are going to wear the night before, organize your clothes. Keep your shoes clean and get Sneaker Balls to keep them smelling fresh. Wear good perfume, deodorant, lotion- smelling good will boost your confidence and people will appreciate it!

2. Keep your body clean on the inside. 

This means eating healthy, and having a balanced diet. Eating well boosts your immune system, and your mind, giving you more energy and positive confidence. We don’t have to obsess over everything that we eat, but having the conscience of eating vegetables and healthy food in part of our meal, is necessary to keep us positive and happier! Things to do to keep your body clean on the inside; eat well, write down when you are going to eat, how much or what food you are going to eat, keep track of medicine that you might be taking, take a water bottle with you everywhere you go and drink a lot of water, stretching your muscles, yoga, meditating etc. 

2. Keep your mind clean. 

This means that you are aware of what is happening in your life, and taking control of what you want to happen. This means that you write down all your plans, and make goals. This allows us to plan for the future and be better prepared, as well as more confident and sure of our steps. Have a journal and write what is going on in your life. This is a part of our day where we get to stop and reflect on our daily life, something that is very important. Thing to help you with keeping your mind clean; having a journal, daily to-do list, calendar, sticker notes, apps, calendar and alarm on your phone, a blog to reflect on life. 

3. Keep your space clean. 

Keeping your space clean is psychologically proven to increase your success because you are getting rid of distractions! You are setting yourself up for success as you focus on the good and positive aspects of having things were they need to be, in an organized way. Things to help you keep your space clean; cleaning supplies such as windex, disinfect, paper towels, wipes, extra napkins, air freshener, etc.

Studying tips

Studying can be hard and I personally have tried lots of methods, some worked, some failed miserably. So today I’m here to share with you the successful ones, and I hope I’ll be able to help you out.

1. This is basic, but essential: always REPEAT what yo are studying OUT LOUD. It is extremely important to hear and listen to yourself. When you repeat the text only in your head it might initially seem that you know it but later on you will realise that you don’t remember a thing, you’ll start panicking and we all know what happens after that. 2. Color coding. It consists in assigning a colour to definitions, keywords, dates, names ecc. This is excellent if you are a visual learner and can be incredibly effective if you do it the right way. Of course color coding can mean many different things.    -Highlighting. Don’t highlight everything (it’s the equivalent of highlighting nothing) just the main topics, that way when you look at the page the keywords and definitions will pop and your brain will remember it that way. If you need to remember longer concepts try underlining with a pen (even colourful).    -Notes. If the textbook is yours write notes next to your text with colourful pens (following the colour code you established) 3. Flashcards. For this you can use index cards or just cut out small rectangles of sturdy paper. On one side write the word or date you need to learn and on the other side the definition or description. It’s also a great way of having someone test you even if they don’t know the subject or the topic. (also works well with colour coding) 4. Recording. Record yourself reading your text, your notes or just repeating and then listen to yourself as many times as you need, that way it will be like having someone to explain the lesson over and over again. 5. Teach. Grab someone who doesn’t know the topic and repeat it to them (even a stuffed animal will do). If they understand it means that you know the lesson well, if they don’t…keep trying! 6. Write things down. I cannot  stress how much it helps to write what you need to learn down. Doing this you set what you need to know in stone. Every time I have a test or an exam I write what I need to know, wether I’m rewriting my notes, summarising what’s in my textbook or writing what I remember it always helps me out so much (and of course you can use color coding).

Now good luck and “happy” studying!

Oh and wait for pictures of my highlighting method coming soon (as soon as school starts for me...so probably third week of september)
