About to start making a section summary!

[calcdonia]

I don’t know about you guys but I am psyched to get an education, woo. This year is a hella important year for me because if I don’t finish this school year with five As then I am a dead man walking, you get me? So this started off as a collection to help me get those fabulous As but I thought, what the hell? I’ll share this perfection with everyone else because sharing is caring. Anyways, down to the nitty gritty

010. TIPS FOR SCHOOL N STUFF BCUS I WANTED TEN BITS

try your best. not everyone can get all As, and getting all As does not make you better than everyone else. just do the best you can and be the best person you can be.

don’t sleep in class! i know it seems so so tempting but slept my way through geography last year and i got a C in my exam instead of the expected A so…

Don’t tick off your teacher, follow the rules to an extent, get to class on time, respect your classmates and teachers. you know, just be a decent person.

be positive!!! and not just for the first week or so, keep the positivity going throughout the whole school year. if you don’t believe in yourself then why should anyone else?

“you can do it, wildcat, i believe in u” — something troy bolton said one time probably definitely

Today's plan 🙈 so much to do 😞 but we will get it done! Let's pass this 👊👊👊

[studiouskenny]

Time to organise these 🙃

[studentsandlattes-deactivated20]

Never regard your study as duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn the liberating beauty of the intellect for your own personal joy and for the profit of the community to which your later work will belong.

Just a reminder!

You don’t have to drink coffee to be a studyblr.

You don’t have to make pretty notes to be a studyblr.

You don’t have to have a mac or muji pens or other expensive stationery to be a studyblr.

You don’t have to make perfect grades to be a studyblr.

The studyblr community is for people who simply love to learn. That’s the only qualification.

[theorganisedstudent]

lol u think a levels are tough! have you seen what we have to do for the IB? you should be proud of your own achievements but tbh they are a piss take compared to the ib ! xx

No I haven’t seen what you have to do for the IB…. I’m not sure all the people who are really struggling with their a-levels would appreciate you saying they’re a piss take.

[alexandrasprout]

What the heck is this? Like, it’s different for everyone. Maybe you, anon, thinks the a-levels are easy, but someone else could be really struggling. This is one of the weirdest things I’ve ‘heard’ here in the studyblr community!

[zoekezia]

I feel like people think that A levels are a GCSE part 2 or something, but that’s really not the case. I feel like people doing IB see A level people only doing 3/ subjects and think they don’t do anything. I don’t know if this is the same everywhere but at my school there is less lesson time because A levels are really about independent learning, you rarely get the top grades from just doing your homework on time, you really have to go out of your way and spend lots of your time doing extra work that your teacher hasn’t told you to do. Yes you can ask your teacher for help but you’re on your own for the most part.

A Levels aren’t a pisstake, it’s not as easy as you think to get an A in a subject, yeah you may have gotten an A* at GCSE without too much stress but that DOES NOT automatically mean you’ll get an A or B at AS even if you do all of your homework well, and doing AS exams made me realise this. People just need to accept that whilst IB is a demanding course with 6 subjects, TOK, CAS, EE and the rest of it, A levels aren’t a joke, they’re not called “advanced” levels for nothing and there’s a reason universities still accept and respect A level grades.

Aside from that good luck with your IB

[studiouskenny]

This is so true. Besides revising and studying for 16 A2 exams in one sessions is not easy.

Following Spree!!

if you are a studyblr of any kind, then please reblog this so I can follow you! A follow from you would be really nice but not essential. 

[superstudies-deactivated2016022]

an open letter to students

to all the students who weren’t born smart, please know that hard work and perseverance can go miles farther than just being smart.

to all the students who feel tired from all-nighters and tests, it will be worth it in due time. don’t give in.

to all the students who have to study full-time and still work, please take care of yourself. it’s ok to rest.

to all the students who struggle due to mental or physical illness, please know that you are a great role model. you are the epitome of “no-excuses”.

and to all the students,

you are so brave to study. you are brave to learn and work hard to achieve your dreams.

you are so kind. kind enough to study for the future generations, for your family, and most of all, for yourself.

you are so strong. i admire how you manage to wake up in the morning and get shit done, even when you feel like falling apart.

you are intelligent. you are intelligent and wise enough to never stop learning.

you are a student. and i believe that all students are good because either way, they live to learn for themselves and for the world.

you are loved.

goodluck with your studies! xx

here is an idea: normalise the idea that adopting kids is a valid option even for parents who could conceive a child themselves, and not just an inferior backup option for parents who can’t
