Studyblr Community Challenge
Day 2 - Explain your studyblr URL!
welp, i kinda did this yesterday. I just like dandelions. When I was in high school, I had a really cool tshirt with a glittery dandelion on it. When I was an undergrad, I wrote my final project for German poetry about them! It was not a good poem, but I still like them. :)
spending the holidays away from your family
It’s October, so we’re perilously close to The Holiday Season. I know a lot of people will be spending the holidays away from their family for the first time this year, and for those of us who are lucky enough to have good relationships with our families, this can be pretty tough. I’ve spent a few Thanksgivings and Christmases away from my family, so I thought I’d share some tips on how to get through this time.
1) Make other plans. If you have a set group of quarantine friends or roommates, try to plan something. Please be safe if you do this, and don’t expect this to replace your usual festivities - it will be fun and strange and different.
2) Cook your favorite foods, but be selective. I constantly make green bean casserole and then remember that I hate it and then I have to still eat the entire pan because I hate food waste more. Be realistic.
3) Facetime/Skype/Zoom is your friend. Make sure to make concrete plans with your family members and friends beforehand; it’s a bummer to vaguely think you’ll all be eating together when it turns out that they already ate. Last Christmas, I facetimed my family to see them open their gifts and it was nice.
3) Be kind to yourself. I definitely cried last Thanksgiving, even though I don’t like the concept of Thanksgiving as a holiday! I’ll probably cry this Christmas because my granddad is gone! You’ll feel some weird feelings, but you’ll be okay. And don’t be afraid to let others know how you feel; they probably feel the same way.
4) Don’t skip out on traditions just because you’re not doing your normal thing. I still watched the Charlie Brown specials and even found a stream of the Macy’s parade here in Germany last year. If you’re a midnight mass kind of person, you can stream that! If you’re a person who watches football....watch football. If your family sits around drinking in their pjs, that’s really easy to achieve!
5) If things get too hard, don’t be afraid to reach out for help. You can call a friend, a family member, or a helpline. You’ve got this. ❤
Please feel free to add on - I’m sure there are other ways to feel festive in these weird times while we work to protect ourselves and each other!
Studyblr Community Challenge
Day 1 - Introduce yourself and tell us what you study!
Hi!! I’m Chelsea, and I’m getting my MA in English and American Studies in Germany. I actually already have an MA in International Studies.....but I ended up working at a bank, which I didn’t care for. So now I’m doing another MA so that I can *hopefully* teach English here in Germany because I like living here better than in the US.
Also, today is my one year anniversary of being in Germany! I’m so happy that I decided to come here - this place makes me so happy, even though this year’s been a doozy. And if you didn’t know, Löwenzahn means dandelion.
ok the question is on my mind so pls reblog w your go to beverage and food for a really long day or night of studying in the tags
pandemic summer on film
22/10/2020
Happy autumn everyone! 🍁 How did you spend your summer? I spent mine primarily reading really good books (both for pleasure and for my next dissertation) and going swimming, but I also started writing letters again which has been quite relaxing! 💌

i learned to sew this summer! it was lovely.
autumn studying mood
Here is my brand new challenge! I hope that you will all enjoy taking part in this challenge <3
✨✨✨
Info
This challenge will begin on the 1st October 2020 and will run for the entire month
HOWEVER! My plan for this challenge is also that it can be done at any time (like the 100 days of productivity challenge for example), so although it will be officially starting then (and that is when I will be doing it) you can start it at any time
There are 31 prompts - one for each day of the month
If you do the challenge, use the tag #studyblr community challenge so i can track the posts and see what you are all posting (and so others can see as well!)
Days 1 -14 are essentially a way to introduce yourself to the community and to find out about the person behind the blog!
Days 15 -28 are what really excite me about this challenge! Essentially, my initial idea was to do an ‘appreciation challenge’ and so these days are essentially this idea within the larger challenge. It is an opportunity to tag studyblrs that you love and let them know that you appreciate them
The final three days of the challenge are about reflection and looking at yourself positively.
✨✨✨
Aims
As the name suggests, I want this challenge to be about community
Studyblr has personally helped me so much and I’ve met some incredible people and I thought this challenge would be a good way to bring the community closer
When I was creating this challenge, I tried to keep in mind new studyblrs. I think that it is a good way of introducing yourself and getting involved in the community, as well as having things to post, if you have just started! It could also be a good way for people to find your blog!
That said, if you have been in studyblr for a while (for example, like me!), this challenge is definitely still for you! I think it will be a good way for your followers to find out more about you and to discover some new blogs!
Overall, I hope that this challenge will promote positivity, appreciation and productivity
✨✨✨
Rules
If you want to do this challenge, please reblog this post
There are daily prompts for 31 days but challenges should never be a burden so you can post as frequently as you like/are able to
When tagging, please do not spam people. Tag someone different for each day so we can share the love.
I would suggest only tagging 1 person for each of the days but I understand that it could be a hard choice for some days. Therefore, I would say that a maximum of 3 people can be tagged for each of the days.
Please be respectful. Some of the prompts are asking about personal opinions and you might disagree, but make sure to remember that everyone has had different experiences and the questions are designed to promote the sharing of ideas.

this isn’t ~academic~ but does anyone have any suggestions for what to do in Prague? I’m going 50% to drink hot chocolate and 50% to pretend that I’m Penelope in The Brothers Bloom, my favorite film.
Summer Studying Challenge
5th September - What did you learn over the summer? (note: this doesn't have to be academic-related)
I learned the Korean alphabet for fun. It turns out that I missed sounding out words since I haven’t done that since 1996. Maybe I’ll take a stab at vocab or grammar next...
I made a skirt and leggings, so I learned a ton about sewing.
That being said, I have a month left in my semester break, so I guess I could still learn quite a bit!
Summer Studying Challenge
2nd September - Are you looking forward to returning to school/university?
Yes! Some of my classes are going to meet in-person from time to time, so I’m very excited to see my classmates when school starts back in October. I’m even more excited for a year from now, when I’ll hopefully be working as a teacher!
German + Your Teeth
You guys, I went to the dentist for the first time in Germany and it was fine! (I’m a weirdo with great teeth and awful sight who would much rather go to the dentist than the optometrist.) Unfortunately, you don’t get a free toothbrush and baby toothpaste here as a reward. On the plus side, German doesn’t use words from other languages for medical terms, so it’s all pretty straightforward. Here’s some vocab if you’re looking to have a stranger look at your teeth!
der Termin - appointment
die Kontrolle - checkup, literally the control, this is what is *most likely* covered by your insurance. It’s also called the Zahnvorsorgeuntersuchung (literally tooth-precaution-check). This is what I had today; it’s just the last three minutes of an American dental appointment when the dentist waltzes in and glances at your teeth.
die Zahnreinigung - teeth cleaning. This isn’t a part of a normal check-up, and it might not be covered by your insurance. (It isn’t covered by mine! It would cost about €70 for me to get my teeth cleaned; your dentist should be able to quote you the price.)
der Zahn/die Zähne - tooth, teeth
der Zahnarzt/die Zahnärtzin - dentist (literally tooth doctor)
das Röntgen - x-ray (fun fact: the man who invented x-rays was named Röntgen)
das Zahnfleisch - gums
der Zahnstein - tartar
die Zahnseide - floss
Summer Studying Challenge
31st August - When you hear the word ‘summer’, what is the first thing that you think of?
Eating orange sherbet when I’m nine years old while my dad watches baseball on tv. (Eventually, my sister and I will win and the channel gets turned to Brady Bunch reruns.)
hey if any other american citizens living outside the US follow me, pls submit a request for your absentee ballot for the nov. election if you haven’t already so you have enough time to vote! it always takes forever to vote from abroad, but this year w potential USPS issues it is extra important to get started early
VoteFromAbroad.org -- Absentee Ballots for US Citizens Abroad
Also you have to reregister every calendar year! So if you registered last year, you need to request a ballot again. And you can vote in federal elections if you’re a US citizen, even if you’ve never lived in the US!
Summer Studying Challenge
18th August - Would you prefer your summer to be shorter or longer?
It’s fine the way it is! I think the weird finals month format that German universtiies have is really strange - you can have an exam weeks after the final lecture of the semester, but I like both the length of the academic summer and the length of summer weather here.
This semester is finally over, so I went to Berlin for the weekend. It was so strange to hear dialect that wasn’t Sächsisch.

Summer Studying Challenge
27th July - Do you stay indoors or outdoors more in the summer?
Hahahahahaha. I’m an indoor person. It’s SO HOT in Oklahoma, where I grew up, that I’m used to spending most of the summer holidays inside laying under the fan in my parents’ living room while eating orange sherbet. But I’m not there now, and it’s so strange to be living in a place with a mild summer where you don’t get drenched with sweat in the walk from the house to your car. I didn’t have to pack away my jeans. I need a jacket on some days.
I still get sleepy on summer afternoons, though.
