Hello my lovely followers~ I apologize for being so inactive, but I just want to share with you all my bullet journal week spread! I have tried a planner, but it hasn't been working out for me. I never want to fill out my planner. Ever since I switched to bullet journal, I always want to fill it out and keep it up to date! I love how flexible the bullet journal is!
YOU HAVE BEEN VISITED ️ BY THE ️EXAM FAIRY she will grant you good luck and success on your exams just by reading this️ forwardthis message on so that others may have good luck too
Me: I should really start my homework.

Me: I should really start my homework.
Study Space Advice
Seating
Get chairs with backs!
If your chair happens to be plastic or wooden, try adding a pillow for comfort either on the seat or behind your back.
Sitting with a relaxed posture at your desk will keep you from falling asleep as opposed to sitting on your bed.
Keep enough room between you and the desk. You don’t want to be leaning over too much nor do you want to be way out of arm’s reach.
It’s okay to slouch while studying. If you find yourself getting tired, get up and take a walk around the house or take frequent breaks. Don’t forget to stretch!
Lighting
Natural lighting is your best friend!
Stay away from poor lighting. It only causes further strain on your eyes.
Use artificial lighting only when necessary i.e. bad weather, cloudy days, and night time.
Desk lamps are wonderful. To really get the most out of your lamp, get LED bulbs. They make it easier on your eyes.
Point the light source towards your work, rather than on you. If you have a lamp that shines on you, you’ll find that the glare can get hot after a while.
If the lighting outside is too strong outside, turn your blinds away from you to get softer lighting.
Desk and Supplies
Rather than searching for pens or pencils, keep them in separate containers. You can add labels if you like to be organized and stylish.
If you know a calculator, dictionary, or textbook is needed, prepare them beforehand.
Your space should have enough room. A textbook and notebook should not be cramped side by side. Your arms should have enough room to move around. This just makes it comfortable for you!
Highlighters, pens, rulers, sharpies are also common supplies to have on a desk. However, you do not need all of these if you don’t find them useful.
Magazine holders are great for papers and folders. I use mine to store older tests, homework, and assignments so I can refer back to them for finals or tests.
Always keep a fresh stack of blank and lined paper close by.
There are a lot of storage containers that are useful in keeping supplies like erasers, thumb tacks, tape, batteries, etc. Keep them in case of future need.
Have a separate storage containers for art supplies if this applies to you.
Remember to refill your supplies!
Room
Should be relatively quiet and/or easy to concentrate
Desk should be cleared off except for necessary supplies and books.
Gather everything beforehand so you don’t have to get up every time.
Get rid of distractions (ex: phones, games, etc). However, if you need to use your phone or laptop, keep it underneath the desk. Out of sight, out of mind. You won’t feel tempted to check them.
The temperature should be suitable. I find it harder to study especially during winter and summer.
Keep a clock in front of you.
Have an open calendar for easy reference.
Plants are a great way to brighten up a room.
Decorate based off your interests. Adding photos, motivational posters, or movie ticket stubs makes you feel more at ease as you study.
Remember, this is your studying space. Decorate and organize it to suit your preferences. One should always be comfortable as they study. Good luck studiers!
Hello my lovely studyblr followers~ I am truly deeply sorry for being so inactive lately! The past semester has been kicking my butt. So, now that it is over, I decided to treat myself with some pilot juice pens and I have to say that I LOVE them. Can't wait to start the new semester with these! I will be more active as the time comes since I am almost done with my undergraduate degree!
Remember, behind every successful person, there are a lot of unsuccessful years.
Feeling like you’re not accomplishing anything now doesn’t mean you’re going to be a ‘failure’ for the rest of your life.
101 Study Tips
Take advantage of that lower workload in between exam periods to make good notes, clean your house, get work experience and do the things then rather than when you’re busier
Use Highlighters instead of pens to save time. Or vice versa depending on you
Change the timing in the pomodoro technique to suit you rather than the other way round
Use a planner to
Work out what time of day you study best. You could get up and study in the morning if you’re that sort of person
Attend your tutor or form sessions. Even if you don’t do much in them, you can
Keep your planner small and carry it everywhere
Even better, put your planner on your phone
Don’t sulk if you fail, look back at why you failed and try to improve
If you get distracted by wanting to do something when you should be focusing, write it down. It gives you a checklist of things to do later
Do these things on the checklist in your study breaks
Answer questions without your teaching asking you to
Read about your subjects outside of your classes, especially in high school
Sit at the front of the class room
Don’t sit by yourself in class
Get an early nights sleep
Or at least use sleepytime to get a good time frame
On school days when you wake up, get up straight away, it stops you lazing about
Work hard from the start of the year. There isn’t a time to slack off
Try spaced repititon for learning key facts or a revision schedule
Have snacks and a drink during study sessions. Preferably water.
Summarise and make all your notes onto smaller bits of paper for revision, it helps you cognise what the important facts are
To avoid study stress, take breaks and avoid studying for more than two hours a day
It’s also good to have a day where you don’t study at all once a week
Don’t schedule too far in advance, you’ll just get busy in the meantime or change your methods
When you’re feeling too stressed to work properly but not studying stresses you out, do easier tasks like reviewing flashcards or watching videos on your course
Do as much of your work in school as possible
Prioritise your classes. Especially if you have loads
Make any big habit changes you’ve been thinking of at the start of a term or new year
Study a little before bed, you’ve probably seen that study that says you remember more just before bed
Only make flashcards of the things that you don’t get or are important, not everything
Use online sites like Brainscape, Memrise, Anki or Quizlet for flashcards between devices
Print off your powerpoint slides before a lesson
If you can’t do that, read ahead in the textbook
The syllabus is your guide, so use that as a framework for your revision notes
Your stress and nerves are normal, don’t worry
Aim to finish your revision a week before your exams, it makes you start earlier and finish earlier, you also can rest before your exam
When you pick your subjects, choose the subjects you love
Don’t drink alcohol when you’re studying or any type of drug
Don’t listen to how much everyone is studying. A lot of people big it up or say they do none, usually both aren’t being truthful
Take messy notes in class and neaten them up later
Or take your notes online or on a computer
Have a folder to put your loose sheets and handouts in
Keep your to do list and schedule all in one place, whether that’s a book, app or phone
If you fall behind or are ill a lot, your classmates are your friends for a realistic description of what you’ve missed
When at school, know all the places you’d like to study in case one of them is busy
Don’t work in your bed if it makes you tired
Or work in your bed if all your seats are uncomfortable and it’s distracting
Don’t have too much coffee! And energy drinks are just terrible for you so maybe not have those either
You don’t have to be truthful to your actual opinion in essays, just go for what option has the most points
Listen to your teacher
Have your window open, the fresh air helps
Use practice papers and questions, they really help
Try to teach others as well or if you can’t, explain it in your own words to yourself
Combine more than one technique, so that the weaknesses of each method gets covered by another
Seriously just listen to your teachers
Check your emails every day
Set realistic goals and try not to be too harsh and unrealistic about the time you’ll spend achieving these as well
Use loud and annoying alarms to get you to do things
If you have to read, read out loud rather than in your head
Use a hair tie if you have long hair to keep it out of your face
Keep clean and get dressed for studying
Don’t waste your term making your notes pretty, if it helps, make sure the benefits outweigh the time problems
Study when you can. Don’t study if you’re too exhausted to do so.
Keep your desk as clean as you can
Know your sources of motivation. Possibly find a way to put that in your study space.
Attend as many classes as possible and don’t skip
Keep yourself busy with stuff that isn’t studying
Reward yourself for your hard work
Before you go back to school, start to wake up earlier so you’re ready
Wear comfortable clothes to school
Or wear whatever makes you feel good, feeling bad can be pretty distracting
Always think about the next step early, whether thats getting work experience, choosing subjects, finding a job or picking a thesis
Always eat breakfast
And always eat lunch too! Especially at school
Do whatever is best for you. Don’t follow a studyblr trend, do what’s best for you.
Make your studying a habit. Do it nearly every day for a long time and it’ll begin to feel more like second nature
Get to know your teachers if you can
And don’t be afraid to ask them for help outside of a lesson, either by email or afterwards, it helps a lot
Look at the types of questions you often get wrong as well as the topics you keep missing out on
Keep a spare bit of food in your bag, I usually have some sesame snaps in my bag as a small snack so I don’t have to get up to get food
Make productive friends and people with similar goals to you
When revising, revise everything and then focus on your weak points
Don’t spend too long on tumblr, and if you are right now, then this is your reminder to log off!
Don’t panic when you don’t know all the answers in a test, do you really need 100%?
Break your studying into smaller bits and spread it out over time to avoid headaches, burnout and all the problems that come with it
Eat better. Get enough fruit and vegetables
Don’t forget about Protein, from meats, nuts, etc. it helps a lot
If you’re falling asleep in class, I usually drink water, pinch myself, take lots of notes and fidget to keep myself up
Regularly clear out your bag, because a lot of stuff builds up
If you’re a more artistic person, use drawings like visual notes, mindmaps, timelines and literal drawings to help you study
If you study with a friend, quiz each other
Study on public transport if you can, notes and flashcards on phones are good for this
Don’t neglect any of your subjects, make sure they all get some time spent on them
Also focus beyond your first exam, it’s easy to overprepare for the first test and then not be ready for the rest
When taking a test look through it quickly before hand
Remember you don’t have to take the test in order
Review your notes all the time, review helps the memory
If you want to pull an all-nighter see if you can do it in the morning or day instead, and don’t do it the night before anything important
Always look at the details, especially if you get a mark-scheme or guide for your assignments
Constantly be taking on new improvements and trying to improve your methods

Does anyone know if there are free online courses for pharmacology and pathophysiology? The courses at my school don't coincide with my schedule so I can't take it next semester and it'll help me in Physical Therapy school. Please helppp!
You’ve heard of the Pomodoro Technique, here’s what it is.
Feeling so proud of myself this semester. Exercise Physiology is byfar the most hardest class I ever took and I got 2 A's and 1 B on the exams. At this rate, I don't have to take the final. 2 more tests before the semester is over.
college tips

- email ur teachers and meet with ur advisors regularly
- quizlet
- TRIPLE CHECK YOUR ALARMS
- bring tupperware to the dining hall to smuggle out extra food
- dont wear your lanyard around your neck
- try to group your classes together in back-to-back time blocks. you wont want to go back to class once you get home

- try not to eat a whole bunch after 10PM, especially fatty foods like pizza or lots of pop. you’ll get stomach aches in the morning
- nerd clubs are 100% okay and there are tons of students who share your interests with you, you just have to look
- take out the fucking trash
I have been doing ALL of this and I have All A’s and B’s, passed my midterm essay exam with a B+, have been getting steady hours at my campus job, and though I don’t get as much sleep as I’d like, my teachers love me and my work ethic so much that if i miss class or if i’m late on occasion they give me passes without thinking about it. i’ve also been approved to take classes meant for seniors next semester because i’m an older student and have proven i am responsible. this shit works. follow it. bible it.
friendly reminder that it’s okay to stop working and decide to continue the next day if you feel like whatever you’re doing now isn’t working and is a waste of time.
go watch that episode. go get that sleep. don’t worry about it, just relax.
if you know you’ll actually do it tomorrow and you can benefit a whole lot more from doing so, go ahead.
I was sent this GIF version of my last project by Eli Bary ([email protected])
I’m flattered and impressed.
For any of my followers with anxiety
Transition from a fixed mindset to a growing mindset. Keep in mind that you are always learning, and when studying a language, you are learning even more so. Don’t get frustrated if you feel like you’re hitting a brick wall or just not progressing as fast as you want to. Change your mindset to a productive one and be motivated by what you do know and the fact you are learning another language.
the notebook problem: you see a notebook. you want to buy the notebook. but you know you have like TEN OTHER NOTEBOOKS. most of which are STILL EMPTY. you don’t need the notebook. you’re probably not gonna use the notebook anyway. what’s the point? DONT BUY THE NOTEBOOK. you buy the notebook.
