to-do list: november

control your environment. surround yourself with the kindest people, with the calmest music, with the softest clothes. make yourself comfortable. the world will not always do it for you.

be as independent as you possibly can, but do not fear reaching for help. you are constantly growing and improving, don’t let your obsession with autonomy hinder you from becoming a better version of yourself.

set your priorities straight. there are things you want to do, and there are things you need to do, and there are things you need to do in order to do the things you want to do. do them first.

believe in your abilities. believe in your aspirations, your reasons, and your hopes. hold on to your motivation as much as possible. everyone needs time, but many forget that they need their own strength as well.

be overwhelmed. make mistakes. be thoroughly done with everything. notice how you change during your low points in life. notice how you plant a seed in your mind, something that will bloom. take care of it. you will grow and flourish soon enough.

attention studyblr folks:

bullet journals aren’t for everyone

you don’t need a fancy bujo spread every week to be a studyblr

you can use a normal planner and still be a studyblr

you can use cheap bic pens and still be a studyblr

you can never buy a muji pen or mildliner and still be a studyblr

you can have a computer that isn’t a macbook and still be a studyblr? like what is this apple worshipping cult?

you can type all your notes and still be a studyblr

you don’t have to take honors/ap/ib classes to be a studyblr

you don’t have to go to a 4 year college to be a studyblr

nontraditional students are beautiful and valid and you are working so damn hard

learn your own way. don’t let others get you down.

[flowerais-deactivated20211031]

things that exist but you can’t see:

people thinking about you and smiling

flowers growing in your heart

the moon’s affection for you

how much you’ve healed already

a lovely future written in the stars

[samsstudygram]

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.

[blinded-by-fairy-lights]

things to remember:

there will always be a tomorrow

nearly all problems are fixable

even your smallest achievements are something to be proud of

being alone can be exactly what you need sometimes

always get back up, no matter what it is that pushes you down

new opportunities will come along

you are not alone

you are valid

you are loved

and you are going to be okay.

some studyblr maths

aesthetics ≠ productivity content > handwriting cramming < revising studying - procrastination = hard work hard work + commitment = success success < happiness

*remember* don’t overwork yourself, it’s not worth sacrificing all of your happiness for grades and success

“You will never need to pull all-nighters or be sleep deprived if you know how to manage your time well” is the biggest lie I ever did hear

I used to beat myself up for not being able to get things done before a reasonable time in the night and think it was because I was wasting time earlier in the day but yknow maybe it’s just because I’m doing a lot of things and I’m working real hard ok this is a reminder to be gentle with myself

[hobijimini]

gentle reminder to everyone

[nerdyraviolli-deactivated201701]

[studynostalgic]

i sometimes forget that we’re all just a bunch of nerds and that it is not normal to have a blog about studying

[vangoghstudies]

reblog if it’s 100% okay for your followers to message you and tell you how productive they’ve been or how they aced a final exam or even just talk about their new study supplies 

[niqabisinparis]

little self care tips

- apply Vaseline to your eyes, lashes, brows, and lips before bed

- never brush curly hair while it’s dry

- on that note, applying products/oil to curly hair while dry is useless

- use a t shirt to dry hair to avoid frizz

- sleep without pants. trust me.

- avoid watery body lotions like Vaseline’s lotion. only dries you out

- avoid crystalline, jagged scrubs (sugar, coffee. St. Ives, etc.). Use round/gentle ones like oatmeal

- avoid coconut oil on face. if you apply it to your hair wash your face afterwards

- don’t put lemon on your face. it might seem like it’s helping but it weakens its protective layer in the long run. if you do use it, dilute it and avoid sun for a while.

- no toothpaste on pimples either it’s a myth

- why do u have a bra on at home. take that shit off and live a little.

- apply deodorant before getting dressed so it doesn’t rub off on your clothes defeating the purpose

- reapply sunscreen every 3-4 hours

- don’t text the fuckboy he don’t care about you

- wake up 30 minutes earlier to have a more relaxed morning and avoid rushing

- wash panties by themselves so you don’t get the gross dirt and germs from your other clothes mixed in. dry them in the sun to kill bacteria if possible.

- hand wash all hijabs they’ll last longer

- don’t use rose water with added fragrance. always check label

- eat at least one fruit or vegetable a day

- leave menial tasks for the end of the day. don’t drain yourself before getting to the important stuff

- before saying something mean or a nasty joke, take 5 seconds to think about it.

- apologizing first doesn’t make you weak

- being vulnerable doesn’t make you weak

- exfoliate after using foundation or powder

- clean phone screen with rubbing alcohol/sanitizer

might add more later or y'all can reblog with your own tips

[alpha--femalee]

Do not put your bras in the dryer!!! Hang dry them!! They will keep their shape so much longer. If possible, get a bra bag to wash your bras in. It protects them from the harsh movement of the washer and keep the clasps from hooking on to another piece of clothing and ruining it. Also try to use delicate setting.

Its you have bigger boobs like I do, get some “at-home” bras to wear when you’re just hanging around the house. I personally like sports bras from Walmart that are one size too big. Your back will thank you.

Sleeping without pants/shorts has changed my life for the better. Night gowns and sleep shirts are also great.

being bilingual is understanding but not being able to translate because your brain couldn’t be bothered to do any extra work and is just content with knowing what the heck is going on
