poor student culture is sitting in the school library for three hours taking pictures of every single page of a 400 page textbook because you dont have 250 dollars to drop on a stack of fancy paper

I’ve been slowly adding more pages to my journal. I’m not super fancy but I do nearly always write out in pencil before pen. My Healthy Heart and Soul page in a before and after. 

It’s a small page to remind me how to keep myself happy in small ways that make a better person both mentally and physically.

STUDYBLR COMMUNITY

please like or reblog this if you’re a studyblr because I desperately want to follow more blogs, so I want to check out a bunch of blogs!! I’m especially looking for English lit/language and Italian language oriented blogs because I’m an English major and I’m planning on continuing my Italian studies soon. But I love quality content so even if you’re not English/Italian blog, I’ll still follow you!!

[nebulaestudy-blog]

I study Literature and Creative Writing at Uni! Love more blogs with similar interests too!!

I haven't posted on here for a while because I was so busy with assignments and I figured that focusing on them was better than keeping up with a studyblr if it meant I didn't study as much I needed. But I’ve just got my first grade back out of 4 assignments and I’m crying at how rubbish my grade is. It’s the equivalent of a 2:1 but the feedback I received could have been given to me before I handed my work in and my grade could have been higher. We didn't workshop our creative work at all until the last week before it was due. I feel like I could have done so much better, gotten a higher 2:1 or even a 1st with the amount of work and effort I put in if we’d had at least one more feedback session.

In comparison to last year this is just shit.

Productivity Printables and Desktop Wallpaper // freebies from The Arialligraphy Project

Productivity Tracker

Suggestions for use of this printable: do something new every 10 days or also mark your “treat yourself” days (you deserve it!)

Hopefully, when you reach the end, you would be proud to see the great things you accomplished!

Assignment Tracker

If you’re like me who’s prepping to go back to uni for the summer semester, or if you’re still in school dealing with finals season, here’s a more school-focused to-do list!

I received a couple of messages asking me what the little progress circles (some called it “bubbles” which are cuter, in my opinion) are for and how I use them. They’re basically an estimate of how much I did for a specific task. For example, I have to write a research paper. Given that the structure of the task is made up of several parts (abstract, introduction, method, etc.), I can shade one or two circles if I finished the abstract and introduction within a certain study session.

I started using this method in the beginning of my sophomore year in uni. I felt that it was more motivating to see all those circles getting shaded as I made developments in the task as compared to ticking a checkbox, which I could only do if I finished the entire project.

If you’re a person who needs that extra motivation to start doing your work, or to work just a tad bit harder, this might be the post for you! I’ve made a special list with beautiful movies with mixed genres that will surely give you that motivation you need to get where you want to. I hope you’ll have fun watching them!

1. Legally Blonde (2001)

A classic. Most of you have probably already watched this, but for those who haven’t, you won’t regret it! The movie tells the story of Elle Woods, who after being dumped by her boyfriend for not being “serious enough” decides to follow him to law school - to Harvard Law School! There she discovers she’s much more than her looks, and that she doesn’t really need a boyfriend to be the best version of herself.

Even though I consider the film very inspirational, it is also very light and funny, so you won’t even notice the time passing by as you watch it. Really worth watching it if you’ve recently been through the end of a relationship. Watch this, get your head up, and get back to work!

2. Monsters University (2013)

This one might be originally made for children, but who doesn’t love Pixar movies? Monsters University is the prequel to Monsters, Inc., which let us know how the loved characters Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan became best friends, and their experience at Monsters University. There, we follow Mike as he follows his dream of becoming a professional Scarer, despite of what everyone thinks of him.

If you’re the kind of person who enjoys animation, it will be very fun to watch and, at the same time, make you think about what you’re doing. Will you really care about other people’s opinions about you or work hard for what you want to become?

3. The Pursuit of Happiness (2006)

This highly emotional biographical movie, based on Chris Gardner’s struggles while being homeless, will certainly tell you a lesson about not giving up on what you believe in, and work hard. Like mentioned, we follow Chris Gardner as he tries in whatever way he can to build a better future for him and his son, while having no place to live and a position as a intern that pays no money. 

I admit I teared up several times while watching this one, but it gave me a totally different mindset. If I’m a person who has everything to follow my dreams and work hard, why am I not doing it? 

4. The Great Debaters (2007)

This movie shows us the story of how a black debate team, led by professor Melvin B. Tolson managed to become the first black debate team to go against Harvard’s own debate champions in the national championship. It’s based on a real article written about the Wiley College debate, which makes everything even greater! 

My opinion is that everyone should watch this movie, and understand the wonders you can do if you believe that all the things you want to achieve are possible if you work hard enough!

5. The Internship (2013)

This is the story of two old-school salesmen Billy and Nick that, after being downsized because of the digital age, decide to work for Google. Then, during the internship, they must work together with a group of young college kids to complete a series of tasks to finally be officially employed.

Other than the fact it’s a hilarious movie (well, at least that’s my personal opinion), I find this movie highly motivational because we see the two main characters managing to contribute to their group with what they can even though they know nothing about technology. They still manage to do well, so I think it has a really amazing message!

6. Good Will Hunting (1997)

This is movie is about Will Hunting, who has a really high IQ, but works as a janitor at MIT. Professor Gerald Lambeau finds out about Will when he manages to solve a very difficult graduate-level math problem, but he doesn’t only help Will with his academic life, but also with psychological problems he faces as he thinks about his relationships and his future. 

This movie is really redirected at thinking about your academic life, but also about what could be holding us back - sometimes we might need the help of others to overcome our problems, and see the better way out. 

7. The Social Network (2010)

Here we find out the roots of Facebook and the story behind it - who was Mark Zuckenberg and how he managed to create such a huge network? This is his story, and how exactly he managed to go from a college student to a multi-millionaire. Even though being rich isn’t and shouldn’t be everyone’s ultimate goal, this movie might be the right thing to really inspire you to turn the ideas in your head into concrete things. 

As of now these are my favorite movies I go to when I really need that extra motivation. I really think it’s a great idea to try and watch them before your exam season, before the start of a new term, or at any time of the year really! 

Good luck on your exams and happy studying! x

[14.08.17]

Suddenly, I’ve figured out what I want, and have a goal to work towards, so I thought I’d make a little list of things I have to / want to do to achieve my goals and better myself as a person! It’s not finished, but I’m probably going to be adding to this list gradually over a long period of time. I’m so excited to go back to school on Wednesday!! I’m going to be starting my final year of high school (which is essentially the 2nd year of 6th form college for English folk), and I’m so excited for the year ahead!

compilation of apps & websites

hey, guys! i’m back again, with another masterpost (!!!) it’s my fifth one this month bc its one of my new year’s resolutions to make a masterpost for each week of the month! hopefully this helps u guys!!!

some tips //

using an extension/app/website to block distracting sites is a lifesaver

i use the blocksite extension on chrome

u can also use forest to block ur sites + time ur studying

pomodoro is one of my personal favorites bc it’s 25 minutes of work (which is a pretty short time, so u can concentrate better) + 5 minutes of a break (to refresh urself!!!)

remember not to get too caught up in these, bc too many sites + apps are just a waste of time, and u’ll end up studying even less

everything in moderation!!!
