celebrating little victories

study tips, notes, ib life, and original sticker designs in one spot

[studyvibesandstickers]

Hi there!!

I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m Sierra. I’m in my first of two years of the IB Diploma Programme. I’m hoping to share my notes, exam prep (IB, AP, and standardized tests), just general IB guidance (EEs, IAs, and CAS experiences and reflections), and also the parts of high school outside of studying that make school better. I also design stickers, and I’m hoping that some of the designs I share with you will strike your fancy. I hope we can have fun these next couple of years 💕

What to expect:

I’ll post whenever I have a new tip and time in my schedule. It’ll likely be once a week, and the content will be slightly different each post. It’ll be a mix of how I take notes, study for tests and exams, my IB portfolio, whatever is motivating me, and whatever my favorite new sticker design is.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Heyo it’s back to school time and here’s a research tip from your friendly neighborhood academic librarian.When searching for any topic on the internet just type in the word ‘libguide’ after your topic and tada like magic there will be several  beautifully curated lists of books, journals, articles, or other resources dealing with your subject. Librarians create these guides to help with folks’ informational needs, so please go find one and make a librarian happy today!!

this is the BEST advice, and there are so many options, both if you’re doing academic research, or just curious and looking for information!

It’s so interesting what you can find!

Dime novels, mystery & detective fiction, adulting (not academic, but still), D&D guide, citation libguides, comics, graphic novels, and manga, German language & literature, differentiating fake news, firefighting, body autonomy for kids and young adults, interfaith women advocates for social justice, cooking (nonacademic)/food culture and cuisine/food & cooking.

Thank you for excellent additions and very much agre ewith you that cooking libguides are the best!! Have you seen all the ones from the Culinary Institute of America??

Oh! Building on your notes I figured I should mention to everyone that most academic institutions with a library are going to have a page with the research guides the librarians have made for their patrons. This will include basic topic guides on things like how to use the library or how to create citations. There will also be subject guides for areas of study like philosophy or biology. As well as specific course guides to assist classes that are being taught like FM 114: Introduction to the Fashion Industry or BME6938: Nanoparticle Nanomedicines.

If any of y’all have started university totally check out the ones your librarians have put up! There’s a ton up to help you along your research journey. And if you aren’t at university check them out too!! Some of the resources won’t be accessible but there’s loads of information you’ll still be able to use and get to.

Hello, fellow academic librarian specializing in instruction! Many libraries also include guides orientations on how to properly utilize non-subject specific databases. Watch those before diving into your first research project so you understand the tools and features available to you to make your life easier. Many universities subscribe to ProQuest or EBSCO and there are MANY tutorials that will teach you how to use them in less than 5 mins.

Believe me, you will save yourself A LOT of headache with both LibGuides and orientations. Good luck and happy hunting!

Sometimes, society comes for us when we spend time on our education instead of other things. I know as an IB student I get this a ton!! But I know that knowledge is freedom.

A shout out to everyone focusing on themselves and their education today even though it gets a little bit rough sometimes.

Using a break from school and a weekend to catch up on some calc work from my second year of IB MAA. I prefer using blank notebooks for math, but my humanities notebook had an extra section, and I’ve run out of printer paper. I was feeling like math was sort of purple today, and my markers are making definitive integrals much more bearable.
