Do you happen to go to Beloit College? You look really familiar.

Yes, I do! I am a senior at Beloit! The icon pic I use was on posters a couple weeks ago for an OADI #getwoke event so it was plastered around campus.

This is my favourite dorm room set up that I have done since starting college. Because I am president I live in my sorority house (I call it the Presidential Suite). Now my wall is covered in letters and awards and stuff and it is v cute. Can’t wait to return to it for my summer research position. Also planning on getting back into blogging again!

TIP: Set SMART goals! 💡🖊 Goal setting can sometimes be a challenge, especially without any structure on how to evaluate them. 🤔 Use the SMART system with your Passion Planner 📓 as a criteria in order to better define your goals & make them more achievable. 😁👍 SMART is an acronym for: S - pecific 📝 M - easurable 📏 A - ction oriented 🏃‍♀️ R - easonable 💞 T - imebound ⌛️ Once you’ve defined your goals & started working on them, make sure to reflect back & evaluate your progress. 😊💭 This gives you a better understanding on how to move forward!

Digital note taking has really been great for class. It allows me to doodle but also take notes.

Studying on my bed is nice 🌿

5 Tips for during an exam

If you have text anxiety, take the test backwards: I don’t know why, but this helps me a lot. Whenever I get really overwhelmed about a test, I’ll start at the end of the test and work my way to the front. For some reason this calms me down. 

If someone else in the class asks the teacher a question about the test, listen to what they’re saying: The person might be asking the same question you have and sometimes teachers unintentionally (or intentionally) give hints about the correct answer. 

Write down as much as you can remember as soon as you get the test: This is most helpful in math and science classes, but yes, if there is information on the top of your head that you think you’re likely to forget in a moment of panic, WRITE IT DOWN on the front of your test. 

If two multiple choice answers are opposites, the correct answer is probably one of the two: This is a trick I was taught in high school and so far it has proved to nearly always be true. 

For the love of god, write down SOMETHING even if you don’t know the answer: By writing something down you have a chance to guess correctly or to get some points for just attempting an answer. There’s nothing wrong with guessing. There have been tons of times where I was hesitant to guess and I missed points because I would have guessed correctly.

Green tea lattes and toasted bagels make studying much, much more fun -M

I love you stuff because I find it visually satisfying for my OCD.

This made me really happy to read! I find studyblr stuff really relaxing for my generalized anxiety and it helps keep me focused. So I am glad it’s good for other people besides me!
