Logging into this account 3 years later...When I made this blog I was in rough patch and did not think I would amount to anything, feels good to be here now. I’m happy with myself. I’m proud of myself.

I have stretch marks.

Reblog if you do too. Just to prove that it is more normal than what people actually think.

Studyblrs! Please turn off "Best Stuff First" in “Dashboard Preferences” in General Settings

REBLOG TO SAVE A BLOG (DO IT FOR YOUR OWN BLOG!)

You’re 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 don’t want to have to resort to poorer quality posts or clickbait titles to bring in the activity :’( 

Studyblrs are one of the biggest communities on tumblr, we can make a difference!

@staff please remove this feature! I’m 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. It’ll be so much harder for new studyblrs to get a foot in!

Reblog to protect your own original content from being filtered! 

Check your activity graphs. I’m sure you’ll find yours drops off at the same date. #spreadtheword #protectyourcontent #protectoriginalcontent

me, writing academic text: these words make no sense but they sound impressive next to each other. this sentence started four lines back and has 4 commas but i haven’t reached my point yet. help me

here’s some real talk kids.

Stationery isn’t important when it comes to your education. Say it again. Just because you don’t have all those staedtler triplus fineliners or zebra mildliners or a filofax planner doesn’t mean you can’t become a studyblr. It doesn’t mean that your hard work and effort put into your notes is considered irrelevant. Because when you’re taking that exam, whether you wrote your terms and definitions in aqua and violet respectively or highlighted your diagrams in mild vermilion, or on the other hand you scribbled everything in black biro, your studying is what gets you the score you want. Not your goddamn fineliners. Your effort, your self discipline that’s what gets you what you want. I get it, they’re pretty. But when the hell did studying and education become more about what your notes and study materials look like rather than the actual content? So if switching pens every five seconds stresses the hell out of you because you have five exams to study for and there isn’t a whole lot of time, or if you’re hesitating creating a blog about the importance of education and studying because of stupid ass pens, this post is your reminder.

i agree with this, but at the same time i also feel that if making pretty notes helps you/is something you want to do, no one should be passing judgment or trying to tell you to stop.

i have goals. and i have plans. but if those things don’t work out, it doesn’t mean i’m a failure. it just means i have to recalibrate and reassess. if one goal isn’t met it doesn’t invalidate all the other goals i will have in my life time.

Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding in order to be successful. Embrace the concept that rest, recovery, and reflection are essential parts of the progress towards a successful and ultimately happy life.

How to study when you are tired

Get up: make the firm decision that you are going to study and move towards you desk.

Get tea: or coffee. The preference of beverage is up to you. You just need to believe that it will help, even if its only for a little bit. 

Set goals: if you are very exhausted setting mini goals like studying for an hour will be much more motivating.

Get going: once you hit your stride, you will start to feel less exhausted. The key is too push through and put tiredness at the back of your head.

College/Grad School Tip: Smile at your peers while they’re giving presentations. I know that class presentations can be boring to sit through, but presentations are always hard to give even if you’re an experienced public speaker. One friendly face can make the whole crowd seem more open and help people feel more confidence. We’re all experiencing academia together, so let’s all support each other.

Please, keep looking. Not for a person, but for your passion, your love, your courage, your goals, your dreams, your happiness, yourself. Keep looking. Explore yourself before you explore another. Know your worth, know yourself. Only then will you know what you need over what you want. You need yourself to become your own.
