The most fascinating part to me about studyblr isn’t the unique stories and backgrounds each of you have, though that has always been important and amazing. It’s the futures each of you look forward to: the doctors, the translators, the writers, the teachers – and notice I don’t say “aspiring.” You all are here because you aspire, but when you combine that ambition with discipline, your work pays off. You aren’t just on a never-ending path of studying, you are on a path to a goal that opens up many more paths. In even so little as 5 years I could be talking to a medblr that is conducting their first surgeries, saving their first lives. In 10, the high school freshmen interested in social work could be keeping kids off of the streets or teaching their favorite subjects to kids just like them. And the greatest part is, because of the people that you are, it won’t just be a could, a what if. It is a will be. I am not only excited for the work you will do, I am excited for the person you are and will be. I am proud of you.

let’s try this again

Looks like I accidentally abandoned this account. Turns out junior year is as much of a mess as everyone says it is. I wrote an 8 page paper after getting an extension of my extension because i was late for the first one, on the morning it was due, in a hotel room where I was supposed to be sleeping with 20% on my laptop and no charger. That’s how much of a mess junior year was. In short, though, I ended up getting the best grades I’ve ever gotten and was extremely proud of (most of) my work ethic and all of the papers I’d written. I did a bunch of extracurriculars that I adored and overall had a pretty good year. 

I’m back now- for good- as a rising senior. I feel like I wished for this for so long and now I kinda just want to take a really long nap instead of do the adult thing. But I can’t. So, I’m excited to follow my fellow seniors on their journeys and share my own with everybody. I want to use this year to become a better student to take the skills with me into college. No more writing papers worth 20% of my grade on the days they’re due. 

I forgot how much I love this community. Let’s try this again.

here are a few suggestions on what i do whenever i’m ever in a bad mood, having a boring day, or feeling just plain shitty. i usually do this every other day and trust me it really does help at least a little bit. 

shower!! *i recommend to take quick, efficient showers rather than long ones. plus, it’d help you maintain a habit of doing so in school mornings!

put on your favorite [at-home] clothes and underwear.

if you don’t feel like taking a shower, just change into fresh, comfortable clothes

brush your teeth if you haven’t yet. get those teeth smooth and shiny!

wash your face and apply moisturizer

put on lip balm!

brush your hair. put it in a hairstyle that keeps the hair out of your eyes (i.e. pony tail, headbands, clip your bangs to the side, …

open your curtains and let in some air

tidy up the room you are in. clean room = a fresh mind!!

don’t stay in the same room for a long period of time! switch places to keep yourself moving

read at least one page of that book

cut some apples and add some peanut butter! delish!!

or you can toast some bread and then put on some sliced bananas

watch a movie that you always wanted to see on netflix or pick a nostalgic disney film!

make a watch-list or discover new books/music +here is my studyblr music collection!

play with your pet or simply sit next to them! they make such great companions!!

take your pet for a walk, bathe them, …

call/text a friend or family member, at least check in with them

chat with someone on tumblr! +i’m always up for a chat! 

create playlists/ clean your music library/ delete junk on your computer and *phone

*transfer pictures onto your computer, then delete things on your phone

update anything that you left in the back of your mind

clean your tumblr dashboard (unfollow sprees, follow new blogs)

listen to coming clean by hilary duff or to onerepublic!

Hey! I am really late with this, but I though that some of you might like to see how I make my monthly spreads. I did this sort of “infographics” (??? am I even allowed to call this thing infographics??) and even though it looks like this, I had so much fun making it :D. I really don’t know whether this is helpful or not, I tried. In case you’d like to see more tutorials (and hopefully better ones) in the future, let me know please? And thanks if you read it till the end, it’s so long :D

(I totally ran out of space for pictures at the end lol)

20/sept - an inside to what my messy notes look like from class/when I first use a book because I can make them look nice later when I write them into the separate notebooks. I’m learning about Kierkegaard today for my EPQ project 🌿

i want to write the kind of short stories you read in english class that are on this weird level of surrealism that they still haunt you years down the road
