Can we as the studyblr community stop glorifying staying up until 3am?
Want to know the downsides?
It’s bad for your health
Your brain can’t process the information you’ve studied (so an all-nighter will most likely do more harm than help you succeed)
The quality of what you’re working on will go downhill if you don’t take breaks
It is bad for your health!
Go to bed on time and give your brain and your health a break. Take care of yourselves!
The time change has made it really hard to take pictures of my spreads, but here’s one from October (that washi tape looks black but it’s actually navy) 😅
In October, we plan in pink! School is doing it’s school thing, ya know?? Midterms coming this week!!
