college study tips that actually help
put your phone on silent and put it across the room
listen to classical/soundtrack music without lyrics
make index cards for important vocab
wear pajamas
make diagrams and pictures. they don’t have to look pretty, as long as you understand it
make timelines for historical events
have a light snack
drink coffee or tea to keep you going
take a break every hour or so
have one pencil/black pen and one colored pen or highlighter. anything more will just distract you. the aesthetics aren’t important, your knowledge is
don’t be afraid to email/message your teacher or a classmate if you don’t understand something. the last thing you want to do is learn the incorrect information
know that sleep and health is more important than your grade. you cannot perform as well on a test if you are tired or sick. take care of yourself
it’s not a race. it’s not about who can learn something in the quickest time, it’s about learning
take a deep breath
prioritize your homework by how long it will take you and when it’s due
plan some you time in between studying and school
if you’re mentally exhausted, set a timer for 30 minutes and take a nap. any longer and you’ll wake up even more tired
don’t understand something? that’s perfectly fine, don’t stress over it. ask for help rather than complaining
have a goal in mind and write them down. say things like “i am getting an education so i can get the job of my dreams. the life that i want. the happiness that i deserve”
be thankful. it is a privilege that you get to go to school and get an education.
you got this.

If you’re applying to colleges, the words “Skype interview” can be more intimidating than actually applying to the college itself. While the idea of a Skype interview can be really scary, the actual interview doesn’t have to be! Here are a few tips to help you lift yourself off your paper application fearlessly!
Post its are your best friends! None of us are perfect orators and that’s okay! Prepare yourself for your interview by sticking Post-its with talking points about yourself on your laptop so you never face awkward silences during your interview!
Look at the camera and not yourself I cannot stress on this enough, but, always look into the camera. I know it can be really tempting to check your image in the tiny screen at the bottom of Skype, but avoid it all costs. Looking directly into the camera is the only way to establish eye contact.
Practice makes perfect If this is your first Skype interview, it helps to practice an interview over Skype with your friends or family. You’ll familiarize yourself with Skype and also troubleshoot any issues you might face! Plus practicing for your interview hasn’t hurt anyone.
Your surroundings matter Where you are when you’re having your interview is incredibly important. Avoid having the interviews from a Starbucks (learnt that the hard way) and basically anywhere outside. It’s best to have your interview in your room with minimal distraction in the background.
Giving thanks Believe it or not, admissions counselors aren’t just speaking to one applicant a day. Sometimes it ranges to anywhere between five and ten applicants. Besides being candid during your interview, it’s always great to thank your interviewer for their time via email. This helps the interviewer identify you from the many, MANY applicants they’ve spoken to!
There you have it! Five tips to help you ace your Skype Interview! It took me quite some time (5 interviews, to be precise) to finally get the hang of it, but it doesn’t faze me anymore, and with these tips, you should have it in the bag after your very first interview!
Have a wonderful day, sunshines!
Had to write an interpretation for a part of the book we’re reading in German class. Didn’t like doing it but I’m quite happy with how it turned up in the end.
French Terms tomorrow. ✌ Gotta get that A.

It’s almost December, which means Christmas is less than a month away, but, that also means college applications are also due soon.
If you are applying to college, December can be one of the most stressful months of the school year, but, fear not! Writing application essays is hard, but, it is also a really important part of the college application process. And while proof-reading your essay ten times a day is essential, an outside opinion is more than useful!
Send me your application essays for colleges in the US, UK, and Europe for feedback and a fresh outlook on your essay! All you have to do is message me off anon here!
Get writing, sunshines!
7.11.17 // Lettering
I’ve been practicing lettering in my 70 day letter journal, even though I don’t do it every day! It’s been nice to see progress! I’m also tackling my to-do list today and editing a blog post, because I haven’t released one in a long time! They do take a lot of time + thought to make, but it should be done this week!

how to stay productive
i rly srsly have a problem with this especially after school ))): like im always on tumblr or something so i never get anything done rip
so im gonna try to practice what i preach from now on!!! lets get into it!
preparing for productivity
when you get home from school or work, give yourself a 20-50 minute break. lets be honest we all have those days when we try to jump right into doing whatever the heck you need to do right when you get home but after like 20 minutes you’re distracted and a mess and not getting any work done. the easy way to prevent this is to give yourself time to do all of that before you start your work so you’re not distracted later (give urself an hour if its been an especially long day). eat a snack, wash ur face tbh, whip your hair, idk what you crazy kids do but do it. srsly. just get it out of the way.
get everything ya need in one place. this is kinda a no-brainer especially since it’s all over tumblr. but srsly why get up every 5 minutes to get a pencil or something? just have it all in the first place. ez.
turn off your phone or put it in airplane mode. personally i like to pretend like im so determined and focused but every time i see the little t at the top of my phone im just gone. don’t let it distract you. if you need the internet, use your laptop/computer for less distractions.
set the mood. idk what you do, whether thats playing the moana soundtrack hanging up fairy lights, putting on your diffuser or playing rap music; idk man! do it.
actually doing the thing
alright so now u got ur fairy lights, ur mildliners, ur face washed, and ur apple juice (??? apple juice is lit???). now throw yourself into it. literally just force yourself to do it. don’t know how??? welll!!! not sure how to help you! (no im kidding don’t leave yet pls)
use the touch it once rule. this is a favorite of the studyblr community. it means that everything on your to-do list, everything you know you need to accomplish– start it. just tell yourself “i’ll only do 3 math problems” or “i’ll only work on this resume for 5 minutes”. they say the hardest part is always starting. chances are, that unfinished worksheet is going to really bother you and you’ll end up finishing it. if not, then just come back to later and touch it again and again until you finish it. tedious, but it works.
use the “two minute rule”. i got this one from @emmastudies! this rule means that if anything on your list takes 2 minutes or less to do (checking your emails, checking your tumblr inbox or something), do it. just get it done.
keep it balanced. do like one easy task and then one hard task so you’re getting everything done but not overwhelming yourself either.
break down your tasks. don’t just look at a giant task like “write a 3-page paper”. break it down into smaller subtasks like “plan paper. draft paper. edit paper. type and print paper.” its much less scary to look at.
visualize procrastination as a monster. i do NOT take credit for this one; i saw it in a masterpost somewhere so this isnt mine!!! but basically i read that you should look at procrastination as a scary opponent ready to eat you alive (and honestly it is). tackle it. don’t let it attack. be so scared of it that you don’t let it get anywhere near you.
honestly just do it and keep at it. stop letting procrastination kick your ass so that you can be productive and stay productive. the work is it’s own reward (:
RARE STUDY TIPS
1. write down how much you study over time, then write down how you did on the quiz/test. this will help you see the amount of studying is nessecary for you to get a good grade and fully learn the material!!!
2. make your study space smell fresh, preferably of mint. mint helps you focus and stay sharp. other good smells would be lemon, etc.
3. after studying for a long amount of time, go exercise for ~30 min. shower, get dressed, etc then review the info you had just been studying! you should come back fresher, and your brain is able to remember the info even better!
4. don’t always study in comfy/pj clothes. if you study a lot after school or classes, then it’s ok. but if all you plan on doing is studying for that day, for part of the day get dressed up! put on some business casual wear, that’s cute yet functional and do your hair, etc. this will put you in a “get shit done” mode.
5. after studying a unit/chapter, record yourself explaining it, as if to a person whose never heard of it. this helps SO MUCH. one, explaining/teaching helps you learn so much better, and two, you have a little video to review just before the test!!
6. study on the floor. if you have a carpeted area in your home, spread out all study materials, a white board, etc and study! it helps so much because you are comfertable and everything is within reach. do this if you need a break from desk studying.
I tried a new weekly setup and it really helped me to be more structured and productive! Today I had my second exam this semester and it wasn’t that good but I just hope the next three exams will be better! Drinking hot chocolate always helps me to gain some energy :) (which I really need because my next exam is in 3 days!) I hope you’re all having a lovely day! Sending you lots of love!! ✨💛

Taking a gap year after high school was probably the most terrifying decision I’ve ever taken. I had to defer (and eventually rescind) my acceptances to some of the best universities around the world, but, it was all worth it!
Now, I’m back at Uni and ready to work my butt off!
If you guys have any questions about taking a gap year, what I did in my gap year, how I reapplied to universities, what are the pros and cons of taking a gap etc etc, drop in a question!
Have a great day, lovelies!
