I can’t believe that it’s been one year since I have started this blog of mine! I’ve been able to meet so many wonderful people on here and the studyblr community has been nothing but kind and helpful to me. I hope the next years will be as wonderful as this one - I love you ❤

I don’t mind confessing my deepest imperfections in hopes that another person may relate and not feel so alone in their boat with holes. I am full of holes and flaws, and they make me a more humble and genuine person. I’m not ashamed to admit that I made a mistake, and you shouldn’t be either. Sure, our mistakes can cause us to feel hurt and humiliated, but they’re a learning experience to grow from. We can’t change or erase the past, so we may as well plant seeds in our crap and allow something wonderful to bloom from it. So recently I messed up big time. This is not surprising to me, but that doesn’t make it suck any less. I keep going over the events again and again in my mind, obsessively pinpointing all of my fatal missteps that left me feeling so empty and frustrated. Oh why didn’t I do xyz differently?! Yet life doesn’t give us any do-over’s; I will never be able to erase or rewind that moment. I’m sure there are lots of people in this holey boat of mine, so here’s my advice for continuing onward when you feel like you’re choking on your own regret. Write a letter! We never mean to make mistakes, and a poor outcome usually goes against the grain of our good intentions. The first step is coming clean. Maybe you smoked that cigarette you weren’t supposed to, or had a drink you swore you’d never touch again, or said something unnecessary and passive aggressive when you knew better. Address your letter to that thing or that person or that situation. In the first part of the letter confess everything you know you did wrong. Take ownership for your actions, no matter how unintentional they were. In the second part of the letter make a list of every reason why that thing or person or situation is no longer a healthy influence for you. Why does it no longer serve a purpose in the stellar life you’re trying to lead, and why are you better off without it? Then hold onto that letter and re-read it any time you need to keep yourself in check. After you’ve wiped your slate clean, the next step is to forgive yourself. You’ve already fessed up, so you have to release the guilt of an unchangeable experience. Some people may find taking ownership to be the hardest part, and it’s certainly not easy to admit our faults, but I have the most difficulty letting myself off the hook. I like to think I’m a smart girl, and when a smart girl does a dumb thing boy does she make sure she’s punished for it. I have no problem taking extra heaping helpings of guilt and blame. In fact, I tell myself it’s “what I deserve” to “learn my lesson” (pretty messed up, right?) Now tough love can have its place, but there’s no need for selftorture. Once you’re aware of the mistake all you can do is learn, grow, and continue to move forward. They say “time heals all things,” and it’s true. After you’ve done all of the above that doesn’t mean that thing or person or situation won’t be the first thought in your head when you wake up or the last thought on your mind before bed. However, time has a way of dulling that intense clarity. In order to move on try filling your days with productive tasks. Sitting inside stressing, moping, obsessing, and torturing doesn’t do any good. Try a new activity! Find something that gives you a sense of purpose; something that allows you to be defined beyond your mistakes. Most importantly, treat yourself with love and compassion. Speak kindly to others and yourself. Human beings are seriously flawed creatures. No matter how hard we try to avoid messing up we are bound to flop somewhere down the line. As long as we aim to live consciously and gently then we leave ourselves the room to grow and change -Erin Hackbarth

how to save and make money as a student

making money

tutoring! one of the easiest to make good money in limited time! you don’t have to make home calls if you sign up to an online tutoring agency and tutor over skype

sell your old clothes. to friends/classmates or online (eBay or depop are my favourite platforms)

sell your old notes. this is easily done online and a good way to make a little extra cash

sell your skills. sites like etsy and redbubble are good places to make money off your creative talents

saving money

save £1378 in a year with my free printable

make coffee and tea at home. those daily £3 coffees add up quickly

take your own mug to coffee shops. if you can’t resist the temptation of a coffee shop coffee take your own mug. pret a manger gives you a 50p discount if you bring your own mug and caffe nero gives you double stamps

don’t carry money with you all the time. this will just make you tempted to spend

never buy another bottle of water. carry a reusable bottle with you, bottled water is very very overpriced considering most cafes will refill your bottle for free

don’t use apple pay. if you always have access to money you’ll be much more tempted to go into that shop and buy the top you passed in the window

food prep! carry snacks and a packed lunch with you to avoid pricey snack bars and ready meals. this is also an easy way to be healthier

home cook. this is always cheaper than eating out and 99% of the time cheaper than pot noodles/ramen. home cooking is even more affordable if you do it in bulk or with friends

borrow and download free ebooks and audiobooks as much as possible

make good use of the library. instead of buying books borrow them for free, a library membership is often free if you belong to a university/college but a membership is still often cheaper than buying lots of books if you’re a big reader

bring reusable bags to avoid paying for plastic bags and be kinder to the environment.

go paperless. avoid printing costs and look after the environment

cut your own hair. going to the hairdressers is expensive and can be saved as a treat but if you just need to trim your split ends there’s no reason why you shouldn’t do it yourself or get a friend to help you

pre drink! if you are going out then drink alcohol at home it’s much cheaper than buying it in pubs or bars

other

use cash. it’s much easier to avoid spending money and stick to your budget when you can see exactly how much you have 

keep track of your saving and spending. i love the ‘pocket expense’ app. this will also show you what things you are overspending on 

collect coupons and loyalty cards. points make prizes!

create a culture of clothes borrowing among your friends. instead of always buying new things for events

[studyblr]

types of students

a. coffeshops, highlighters, little post-it notes, wanting to be perfectly organized b. 2 am, eyebags, stacks of papers, the deadline is in half an hour c. messy bullet journal, messy desk, messy life but still trying d. night: telling yourself how productive you’ll be tomorrow, day: let’s binge watch another netflix series e. buying tons of cute stationery, having only one pen left by the end of the school year f. working really hard to achieve your goals only to be asked why you’re so smart g. ancient libraries, the smell of new textbooks, wanting to acquire all the knowledge h. studying to help people, to save the environment, to change the world
