valentine’s day playlist dump
a mini collection of playlists about love, heartbreak, friendship, moving on etc. all you need to get through the cursed day that is february 14th.
head over heels: for when you’re crazy about someone infinitely, inexpressibly. for when you wake up smiling, and go to sleep smiling. for when the butterflies in your stomach are uncontrollable. for when you’re happy, loved.
dim the lights: candles, lingerie, chocolate covered strawberries, champagne
tragic, move on: jump around your room and remember it will forever be their loss, not yours.
unrequited love: wrong place, wrong time.
coming of age vibes: love isn’t just about a significant other. love is also about friends, family. it’s about creating memories. dancing in the rain. standing on top of a hill, screaming at the top of your lungs. driving through a dark tunnel with your head out the window, the wind brushing through your hair.
you left me heartbroken: if you love someone, and it ends, where does the love go?
rom-com supremacy: do you want to feel like jennifer garner in 13 going on 30? perhaps you wish to be chased by matthew mcconaughey or hugh grant? is your favourite movie bridget jones? 27 dresses?
Guys, please check out alicerose1d on spotify!
alicerose1d
She has playlist gems like
“dark academia”,
“elegant classical music to drink tea to”,
“songs that feel like late night drives in a 90′s movie”,
“reading in a cozy library with 90s soft rock playing in the background”,
“postcards from a little italian seaside town”,
“exploring a magical forest in a studio ghibli movie”,
“stargazing and contemplating the meaning of life” and
“drinking ginger tea on a sleepy rainy afternoon”.
And so much more, I’m in LOVE!
students as months of the year
january: fresh journals, black and white notes, bullet journals filled with motivational quotes, cold brew coffee, loves writing letters, finishes everything on time, a daydreamer, seems laid back but really they’re stressed about everything
february: doodles in the margins of notes, the person who lends you their pens, sloppy handwriting, loves motivational speeches and classical music, finishes easy assignments early but writes their essay the night before its due,
march: straight A’s, study playlists, the teachers favorite, color coded notes, everyone thinks they’re naturally smart (but really they’re spending every night studying), forgets to eat sometimes, hasn’t slept for what feels like years
april: open windows, listening to the rain and thunder, tea pots full of earl grey, a functionally messy desk, fairy lights, always losing their pens, a huge nerd, afraid to raise their hand in class in case their answer is wrong
may: cramming for tests, lives in the library, highlighters and sticky notes everywhere, drinks espresso, would definitely consider bringing their coffee pot to school, messy desk, if an assignment is due at 9:00 they’ll submit it at 8:59
june: late nights, smoothies for breakfast, hanging out with friends, takes notes on their laptop, minimalist, organized, says they’re studying but they’re actually on studyblr, tries to study everything at once and gets distracted
july: staying up late to read, learning new languages, focuses on the learning and not the grade, watches documentaries for fun, loves the classics, owns a thousand pens, takes studyspo pictures, hundreds of unread emails,
august: stationery shopping, getting ahead in class, iced drinks, spending weekends with friends, takes very little notes but does well in class anyways, a relaxed personality, healthy snacks, the master of self care
september: a morning person, new pens and folders, a perfectionist, audio records classes and re-writes notes, over works themselves, loves the smell of new books, competitive, “i’m gonna fail!” but ends up getting A’s and B’s
october: chai lattes in travel mugs, will study for three days straight and then not study for a week, snacking in class, uses washi tape and stickers, sleeps for eight hours but is tired anyways, terrible at accepting compliments
november: gratitude journals, mental health days, the baristas at their local cafe know their name because they’re always studying there, study groups, loves to travel but never travels, cinnamon in their drinks, trouble sleeping, sweet smiles
december: hot chocolate, wrapped in a fluffy blanket, says they don’t care about grades but panics when they get less than a B, to-do lists, tutors their friends, watches movies in their free time, vanilla candles
study tips for a procrastinating mess
as a self-admitted chronic procrastinator, i have decided to post ALL my stupid tricks that help me! hopefully i can internalize them through text *insert heavenly sound here* (chronic procrastinator as in I, esther the idiot, literally stayed up till 4:30 am writing a position paper that i got stuck on and sat in front of for an entire 14 hours. straight. i need help.)
drink with a straw. saw this somewhere, it helps, basically if i have like a cup of water or something i need to constantly pick it up and put it down and it just stops my hands from moving and my mind from thinking aiya. BUT you know I constantly need something to do with myself or i find something to do (aka tumblr and boredpanda) which is why i study snack like a grazing animal omg and also why my hair is always messed up after sitting down in the library for an hour ugh. SO: straws ftw.
similarly, tie hair up. if my hair is down. i will play with it. and that means i WON’T be typing. it must. be. up.
don’t die studying for assessments! briefly review with vocab! this may just be me but really when it comes to tests and quizzes it’s usually not what i studied independently that counts, it’s what i fully learned in the first place. so listen like a really attentive 5 year old in class (cuz that’s basically what you are in relation to a knowledgeable teacher) and then before a test just review vocabulary and dates so you can make sure you’re able to revive that dead information in your brain from 5 days ago. i use vocabulary sheets as knowledge defibrillators.
throw your phone across the room! this is probably why my screen protector has so many cracks. but yeah i leave it across the room or in another room where i can’t see the screen.. if i don’t see it it’s usually out of sight out of mind. oh and if i need to use my phone i don’t check any other notifications because if i read a text i always feel obligated to reply so just leave that gross red notification hanging there for a while.
things to do after hitting the wall/when feeling really stuck in a rut: shower. do chores. walk the dog or run errands to get out of the house (but not longer than half an hour). refill water and stretch while doing it. play guitar but limit it to 20 min. check in on a family member and ask hyd. braid hair or retie it. stand up and scream a little. dance around the house and sing. give yourself a pep talk about all the stuff you have to do in order. sit somewhere new even if it’s in the same room and DECIDE it is now a new beginning because you shifted two seats to the left.
music is to block out sound, not to entertain. my house is almost always noisy; dad on the phone, mom talking to my brother, sister practicing traditional chinese instruments, brother singing along to the entire freaking hamilton soundtrack, dog barking, grandpa snoring… earbuds are savior. at cafes too. people say to only listen to instrumental and i tend to agree, but sometimes listening to my usual chillhop playlist just makes me sad and unmotivated so i alternate between a few playlists just to switch it up and keep ME AWAKE. heck i even listen to white noise, anything to drown out distracting interactions
ALSO earbuds are good even if there’s no one else around because they prevent you from getting up to do random stuff (cordsssssss hallelujah for annoying cords). ESPECIALLY keeping you away from mindlessly checking your phone.
get out. really just leave the house or wherever you normally study. i go to a different cafe every time i need to hardcore study just because being in my house makes me feel relaxed. if i pay for a starbucks coffee, i am NOT going home until i use that starbucks time well and do something productive. also this gives me a conscious reminder of my time because i have to go home at a certain time etc. etc.
when in midst of a break-down, tell someone. not in the “oh no you’re going to hurt someone or hurt yourself” sense, but because it helps you finish that break-down up and feel re-motivated. crying to my mom about an assignment may or may not help with the assignment, but at least i cried and now i don’t need to agonize for another hour over the stress. text-spamming a friend may be stupid in retrospect but as long as you go “HEY I’M DYING LISTEN TO MY STUPID LIFE CHOICES FOR 5 MIN” and then get right back to work it will help you move past the stress and get back in a grind.
for exams, just make a list of things to know better then attend after school hours. at our school the teachers have after school hours or free periods and they are *usually* very happy to engage with a student and answer questions regarding material during this time. for finals, i usually don’t try to cram everything. i look over all my notes and vocab and just make a super basic list of things i dont know well (or highlight the terms in my notes). making an entire comprehensive study guide of these things takes too long. then i go to the teacher and talk it all out. just make sure i understand and then while talking scribble down a couple words so i can remember. after doing this sometime during the week before the final exam i can HANDLE ITTTT and i don’t need to cram quite as much. (this probably works because i’m an auditory learner.)
BONUS TIPS FOR STUDYING LATE AT NIGHT! all-nighters are scary; try to get at least a couple hrs of sleep or your days will all seem like one and you’ll lose your sense of time and school and classes. food gives energy. hot drinks keep you awake. if you are tired you will feel colder (idk why but everything is always colder if i’m underslept). DO NOT expect a comfortable aesthetic night; if you get any blankets more than necessary you will fall asleep.
there’s probably more but i really don’t remember it ahhaha i’ll add it later if i think of it. and i know there are so many good things that i don’t do while studying like making a schedule etc etc etc… it’s just they don’t always work for me, these are my fail-safes haha.
also here are my spotify playlists (either that i made or that i listen to):
for when i am SAD:
the songs that make me happy
Reggae Infusions
String Theory
for when i must BLOCK OUT NOISE and get in that study mood you know:
new chill
Jazz Vibes
heiwifjejdj
Ocean Escapes
for when i am TIRED:
electro swing
qoidnsdv
*when i’m tired i also listen to my normal music and sing along a little

study instrumentals: for those of us that have trouble focusing to music- strictly instrumentals to listen to during your studies. piano and string compositions along with a few movie scores. great for reading, taking notes, (as tested by me), falling asleep or easing your anxiety.
(listen here.)
golborne road- nick laird-clowes // spiegel im spiegel- arvo pärt // to the architect- mychael danna // breathturn- hammock // midsummer field- u137 // watching the storm- u137 // starlights- tracey chattaway // petrichor- keaton henson // instumental ii- noah and the whale // instrumental i- noah and the whale // postcards from far away- coldplay // time- hans zimmer… (full tracklist under the cut)

i spend way too much time on spotify and thus have way too many playlists, but here are some of them as a thank you for 11k !!
neptune / soundtrack to a warm coffee on a sleepy afternoon
pluto / 3am, lying upside down off the bed with dim phone light on your face
saturn / laughter, pillow fights and intentionally bad singing-along
mars / quiet piano floats through the window on a warm, windy evening
lunar / during windows-down summer car rides with your friends
solar / fingers tracing on a thigh and quiet evening humming
jupiter / gentle, wordless, beats to see you through revision
eclipse / a soft voice paired with a guitar, and a cup of tea
earth / for dozing off amidst gentle yawns, wrapped in blankets
cosmos / a face amongst the crowd, stairs to the subway, city lights
galaxy / clink of glassware and muted murmurs amongst background jazz
sapph / for the girls who love girls
cappuccino / the feeling of a 9am coffee on a gently sunny morning
update ;; here is part 2!
“Sometimes quiet people really do have a lot to say. They’re just being careful about who they open up to.”
— Susan Gale
Taking a trip seaside as a princess would consist of:
Waking up to the sounds of birds chirping outside you window that the maid opened.
Going downstairs to enjoy a lovely breakfast with the family.
The telling the guards to drive you there along with your pet.
Having the guards set up your blanket and umbrella for you.
Laying down and enjoying the sun outside the palace walls. Maybe even possibles getting your tan on.
Laughing and splashing around in the water. Enjoying the waves coming and going.
Deciding you wanted to relax some and deciding to float in the water but still being cautious of where you are
Also trying to get the guards to enjoy the water too.
“John you have to enjoy the water also! It’s so lovely”
Around lunch time having a nice picnic filled with fruits, sweets,lovely salads and sandwiches.
Running around with your pet on the sand and playing catch or simply strolling with them.
Taking loads of pictures with everyone and everything.
Starting a bonfire when it starts to get cold and roasting some marshmallows. Even making some s’mores in the process.
Doing a final stroll as the sun finally is out the rest.
Grabbing everything and going towards the guards to finally head home. Your head resting against john’s the guard arm as you go to a dreamland.
the comfort that comes from rainy evenings is unmatched
