Can we as the studyblr community stop glorifying staying up until 3am?
Want to know the downsides?
Itās bad for your health
Your brain canāt process the information youāve studied (so an all-nighter will most likely do more harm than help you succeed)
The quality of what youāre working on will go downhill if you donāt 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!
goals and reminders
- read at least a book a month - list 5 things that make you happy every day - create playlists for every mood - learn a new language through consistent practice every day - research new topics that interest you, how about coding, music, or graphic design? - compliment people frequently!! - donāt be afraid to introduce yourself to someone new, it can be online as well - try to notice the sky and the air and the flowers, pay attention to your surroundings - collect quotes that motivate you - and above all: stay hydrated!!
Imagine: Hard Work Pays Off
Itās 3am, you sit at your desk writing that essay youāve been working on for weeks, or going over those sets of maths problems, or that science project thatās due tomorrow. Your young sleepy eyes threaten to close but you push just that little bit further, a blanket wrapped around you and some tea warming your hands. It has to be perfect. Itās high school. The next day you hand it in, your teacher smiles. A+
Itās 3am a few years later and you sit at your desk on your computer, typing away at that lab report, that essay, that assignment that needs doing. Youāve worked so hard on it. Passion motivates you, not fear nor caffeine. It is your goals that keep you going, your drive to make a difference. To help people. To learn. You are in your dream course at your dream college. As you type those last few digits, you smile. You submit it and a sense of serenity overtakes you; you go to sleep, proud.
Itās 3 am and you wake up for no particular reason. A cold breeze enters through your partially open window. Warm under your blankets you stretch and look around. Smiling.You graduated a few years back and life is good, friends and family love you and are proud of you, youāre happy and surround yourself with good people. Youāve built the life you dreamed of. As tiredness overtakes you you go back to sleep, excited for work and to do what you love in the morning.

āStudies aināt the most important thing in life!! You donāt need an education to succeed!! University degrees are overrated!ā
Yes, yes, youāre right. After all, thereās many examples of successful people who didnāt have a complete education. But do you know what most of those people have that helped them on their road to success(and could be gained by the rest of us through education)?
The ability to engage in critical thinking.
School isnāt all about learning and stuffing new information into your brain. For many of us, school is about gaining the ability to think critically. It could be through lectures, tutorials, workshops, even interaction with different people. Thatās what school is about. For most of us, we meet people from all walks of life in university. The interaction with these people is what made us pause, evaluate them and ourselves in the process, understand what makes everyone different, learn to walk a mile in anotherās shoes, and in the process, start to think critically. Of course, all the new information you gain during lessons is just a plus. In Singapore, at least, most of us are rather sheltered up to university. We go through primary school, secondary school, junior college/polytechnics, most of which are under our governmentās tight regulation. We follow a strict syllabus, we follow a nice set of guidelines, and most of us donāt think about it. Heck, we hardly even question anything. This is not a bad thing, after all it works. We have one of the best education systems in the world. We are able to study efficiently. Of course, I agree with how this is done, it is rather challenging to encourage snotty little rebellious kids on a growth spurt to think and question what they are studying. So this works instead. But this results in the whole load of us being the perfect example of good students without the capacity to think out of the box, or even think.
And then we go to university. BOOM.
Things change. We no longer have a set of clearly defined guidelines for us to follow. Our professors donāt just spoon feed us information like how our teachers used to. In a way it is challenging because it leaves us confused and grasping at straws, but it teaches us to learn to question everything we are learning, offer alternate solutions to questions we previously accept that only have one solution. Sure, the new information we are taught helps too, but what really helped is the opening of that door in our minds that has previously been locked, the ability to question.
This is not the ability to come up with consirpacy theories. This is the ability to look at a problem, analyse whatever information you have been given, and come up with different plausible explanations. It is the ability to look beyond the obvious answer, or what seem like the obvious answer, come up with an alternative but equally possible explanation and offer a link between the explanation and whatever you have been taught. This, this is thinking.
It is the ability to meet people who are so much more analytical than you, be humbled by the wide range their mind possesses and then proceed to widen and open your mind as well.
This is why my education is pretty darn important to me. This is why my studies are essential to me. The university degree? Well, it is a testament to the nights of endless studying to absorb the crazy flow of information, to the torture I put my mind trying to widen it so I could establish a link between the information and to their application in real work problems, and to the fact that I never gave up.
So for the rest of you students out there struggling and contemplating the importance of your education, please donāt give up. Your education isnāt the most important thing in life, but you can be sure it is still important.

ok universe, iāmĀ ready to feel good things. make me feel good things.
whenever i post this it worksĀ reblog if u want to feel good things & the universe will bring u something sweetĀ
Guys reblog this, you deserve good things after all the shit youāve gone through.
Itās sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.
There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they arenāt used anymore!
I took calculus my senior year of high school, and I really liked the way our teacher framed this on the first day of class.
He asked somebody to raise their hand and ask him when we would use calculus in our everyday life. So one student rose their hand and asked, āWhen are we going to use this in our everyday life?ā
āNEVER!!ā the teacher exclaimed. āYou will never use calculus in your normal, everyday life. In fact, very few of you will use it in your professional careers either.ā Then he paused. āSo would you like to know why should care?ā
Several us nodded.
He picked out one of the varsity football players in the class. āYou practice football a lot during the week, right Tim?ā asked the teacher.
āYeah,ā replied Tim. āAlmost every day.ā
āDo you and your teammates ever lift weights during practice?ā
āYeah. Tuesdays and Thursdays we spend a lot of practice in the weight room.ā
āBut why?ā asked the teacher. āIs there ever going to be a play your coach tells you use during a game that requires you to bench press the other team?ā
āNo, of course not.ā
āThen why lift weights?ā
āBecause it makes us stronger,ā said Tim.
āBingo!!ā said the teacher. āItās the same thing with calculus. Youāre not here because youāre going to use calculus in your everyday life. Youāre here because calculus is weightlifting for your brain.ā
And Iāve never forgotten that.
āļø Bullet Journal Inspiration Spread āļøĀ
Hereās a little spread of bullet journal accounts I absolutely adore and am continually inspired by:Ā
(in order from left to right by page)
Ā @holylantern - Just pure creativity. I love that itās just drawings and no decorations (at least of the ones Iāve seen so far ^.^). Each spread is so unique.Ā
Ā @j-christabel // @eggtabel - Mainly drawings as well. Honestly, one the most unique bujos I have seen.Ā I adore her use of colour and doodle, but it still manages to be so minimal.
@lycheestudy - Love how minimal and functional her spreads are, but still so so pretty.Ā
@studypetals - Amazing use of images, stickers, and lettering. I love the mood she creates with each spread.Ā
@smoinerd - Winnie! Ah, where do I even start? Absolutely in love with her spreads. Thereās so much going on from gorgeous lettering to images of Junjin lol, but itās still so organized and calming to look at.Ā
@unicaffe - I was in awe when I saw the spread pictured in the post showed up on my dashboard. Honestly so calming to look at and the gorgeous drawings and minimalistic look just *o*Ā
@journalsanctuary - I honestly love looking at her feed on Instagram. Layout and feed goals as well as her amazing bullet journal. The themes of her spreads are so pretty and natural.Ā
@studyrose - Goals, goals, goals. From feed to bullet journal to amazing personality, just everything <3 (I steal a lot of ideas from her when I stage my photos lol).Ā
@productiveflower - This girl right here actually inspired me to start my own studygram account. Although she says sheās not a fan of her own spreads, Iāll always be her fan. Adore her aesthetic as well as her sweet personality. <3
@eintsein - Love her use of different types of decorating elements, but still maintaining a cohesive and calm theme. Loving the blue, white, and green tones in this spread especially!
I wish I could have fit more on this inspiration board because there are so many wonderful bullet journals to share. Please sure to check each and everyone of these accounts out. Here on Tumblr as well as Instagram (if they have one)! :)
I also canāt help but be in awe of the bullet journal system. It allows creativity and accommodates so many different styles, but in the end, it is still a planner, and is practical to use.Ā
Canāt risk it
The duck of creativity. I waited so long for it.

Studyblrs! Please turn off "Best Stuff First" in āDashboard Preferencesā in General Settings
REBLOG TO SAVE A BLOG (DO IT FOR YOUR OWN BLOG!)
Youāre missing out on heaps of original study tips posts and heaps of great stuff by creators, not just me! My study tips are really detailed but can be specific at times, I donāt want to have to resort to poorer quality posts or clickbait titles to bring in the activity :ā(Ā
Studyblrs are one of the biggest communities on tumblr, we can make a difference!
@staff please remove this feature! Iām an original study tips maker and this killed my activity! Tumblr is about original creators as much as reblogging, and having this option on will mean only the popular bloggers get featured more and more. Itāll be so much harder for new studyblrs to get a foot in!
Reblog to protect your own original content from being filtered!Ā
Check your activity graphs. Iām sure youāll find yours drops off at the same date. #spreadtheword #protectyourcontent #protectoriginalcontent
