Happy November everybody! I hope the fall is doing you all well. It’s already reaching freezing temperatures where I am and I don’t know how to feel about that. Also, sorry for dropping the October Study Challenge! I really do need to get better at committing to things.

Pictured here are some flashcards I’m making for my Spanish class. We’re currently learning about reflexive verbs and I’m definitely getting the hang of it. Also pictured are the stationary I’m primarily using this month.

October Study Challenge: Day 8

8. How do you plan? Formatted planner, bullet journal, random sticky notes, etc? How long have you been planning this way?

I plan using a very minimalistic bullet journal. I would love to have one of those heavily decorated ones, but I’ve tried that before and it’s just not something I can keep up.

I’ve had my current bullet journal since the start of September and have been able to keep it up quite consistently.

October Study Challenge: Day 7

7. Do you have a morning routine? What is it / what would it ideally be? What time do you get up? What time would you ideally get up?

I barely have a morning routine. I only manage to get up 10-15 minutes before I have to leave for school, so all I do is brush my teeth, get dressed, throw my stuff into my backpack, ideally grab a snack, and leave. This sort of quick little routine works pretty well for me.

I usually get up around 6:30 am, but sometimes I’m not out of bed until 6:35 am. I guess it would be nice to get up earlier, but sleep is important, so I want as much as I can get.

October Study Challenge: Day 6

6. Go outside! Take a picture of nature! Enjoy the fresh air!

I love my yard so much. It’s basically a miniature forest. These pictures are somewhat old and from my instagram, but you get the idea of the kind of awesome nature I have right at my fingertips.

October Study Challenge: Days 4 + 5

I’m really sorry for missing a couple days! It was homecoming weekend and I was too busy/tired to post. Here’s my make-up post. I’m skipping day 3 because it’s a little irrelevant to me, but if anyone wants to see it anyway I can make a post for it.

4. Doodles or no doodles?

The only place I doodle is in the margins of worksheets. These tend to be filled with little doodles. I also doodle in the empty spaces in my math/spanish notebooks.

5. Favorite stationary? Write a mini review!

Pilot G-2 0.5mm

- These are the pens I use for just about everything. The ink is very smooth and works well on most types of paper. It does show a little through thinner paper but it’s worth it in my opinion.

Koi Coloring Brush Pen

- I bought 7 of these at a college bookstore and they’re amazing. Their color is super vibrant but it’s not neon at all, which is a nice change from my large collection of highlighters. The brush is also nice; it keeps its shape but also bends enough to get a good brush pen effect.

Mildliner Highlighter

- These are a tried and true part of many a stationary collection, and for good reason. I like that they manage to be both pastel and neon. They still give the effect of a bright neon highlighter but they hurt the eyes much less. I also like that they come in less traditional highlighter colors, like red or gray or dark blue.

October Study Challenge: Day 2

2. Tea, coffee, or neither?

Generally, neither. I really don’t like tea, but every now and then I’ll drink an iced coffee.

October Study Challenge: Day 1

1. Introduce thyself! What are you studying? What are your goals for this month? This year?

I’m in highschool so I have 6 periods. I guess I could talk about them all but some of them are really just not interesting enough to mention here.

I’m taking Pre-Calculus for IB, aka the one class that should not under any circumstances be taught at 7:20 am (1st period). It’s a kind of interesting class but my teacher has very little clue what she’s doing and as I mentioned the class is super early in the morning so we’re doing a lot of learning on our own. This is historically not a math learning method that had worked for me so I’ll see how that goes I guess. I’m also taking Honors Chemistry, a class I really enjoy. I’ve always loved science so this class is right up my alley. My final mentionable class is Spanish 2, which I also enjoy quite a lot.

Other subjects I’m studying/just interested in currently outside of school are Swedish and Chinese, some psycology, some astronomy, and recently I’ve been really into Marvel movies and specifically Iron Man so I’m trying to educate myself on the science fiction of the MCU.

Now, goals. I’m not much of an active goal setter. It’s something that often causes me stress. However, I do have a couple goals (of a sort) lurking in the back of my mind.

Over the course of this month I want to get a solid handle on my grades so that I don’t have to stress too much about raising them in the later months of the semester. On a similar note, I want to have much of my choir music memorized by late-October/early November so I can worry about that less. I also want to continue to improve my Swedish and Chinese over the next year.

Sorry if this post feels long or rambling, it’ll probably be one of the longer ones in this series

Happy Spook Month to everyone! I’m very sorry about the unplanned hiatus. I’ll try to post regularly for this month at least. I have a lot of content I would like to post on here but didn’t get around to, so the next few posts will probably still be from September. Also, apologies for the poor lighting in these photos. I tried my best.

Pictured here are my Unit 1 Chemistry notes. I’m quite proud of how they turned out visually and they were very helpful in preparation for the Unit 1 test we took last week. Chemistry is one of the classes I really like taking nice-looking notes for, so expect to see a lot of Chem notes in the future.

Hey everyone! Sorry about not posting on here for so long! My mental health got the best of me for a bit and it’s taken a while to get back in a place where I can post again.

That being said, I want to do this along with my usual style of posts, so expect to see that this month. I’ll post the first one in a few hours from now.

The school year has begun! I’m two days in and I can already tell which classes I’m going to dread and which I’m going to love. I also already have homework of some sort in 5 out of 6 classes, which I’m a little annoyed by. None of it is particularly hard though, so I’m not too terribly upset.

Anyway, pictured is my spread for this week. I’ve decided to go with this much simpler style, and I quite like it. I might make it a little more decorative in the future, but for now this is satisfactory.

School starts tomorrow! I’m both excited and full of dread, but I’m trying not to get to worked up about it. I’ve got all of my stuff ready for school to start, so there isn’t anything to stress about yet.

Pictured are the 4 pages in the front of this month’s section, including a basic monthly calendar and 3 trackers. I’ve also taken a picture of the stationary I’m going to be primarily using this month. I’ve assigned 1 color to each month and September’s color is red, so expect to see a lot of it.

So! This is the first studyblr-type post on my new blog! It’s also the first of September, which is the first day I’m logging in my new bullet journal. I’ll show this week’s spread later this week.

Pictured here are more pages in the front of my bujo, including a spread of friend/family birthdays and my schedule for the coming school year. I also bought a new pencil case today, so I thought I’d show that off.
