it took me a while to find how i was going to phrase this masterpost. truth is, we all started in the studyblr community at some point and we’ve all known the struggle to get reblogs or to even find friends. unfortunately, this shouldn’t be the issue, the purpose of this, is to improve your grade, show your work, give tips and make friends with people all around the world sharing your passion. i guess this masterpost applies to new studyblrs or just studyblrs that sometimes struggle to find a spot in this huge community.
○ followers don’t matter, friends do.
at the beginning, it might seem impossible to find followers, even more friends. i can talk for myself because i know that i used to get so upset when i’d see people unfollowing me. i didn’t know how to fit in even if i tried my hardest. if you’ve ever been in this case, what i’d recommend, is to send “ask” to your favourite accounts, even in anons. send them ask or even message them if you’re not too shy. it would at least give you someone to talk to and you could ask questions on how to improve your studyblr, and maybe even make friends. one thing that also works is tags if you struggle to get reblogs. for example, mine is #heyaly but basically every studyblr has one and that’s one way to show your posts to the world. once you’ve done that, i’m pretty sure you would at least have found a friend. and that’s what matter in this community. followers are just a number, what you need is supportive friends!! (and my door is always open if you want one)
○ it’s okay if you can’t afford stationery.
this is so important, to everyone out here, cute stationery is cool but that’s not everything, it doesn’t define who you are. to be a studyblr, you have to share your passion, it should never be a race to see who can get the brand new notebooks or liners. you’re beautiful and perfect with just a pencil and a sheet of paper as long as it brings you happiness.
○ you don’t have to work all the time.
big cliché. as if, we studyblrs, were working all day, all night. it might seem to be the truth because we’re all from different part of the world. but learn to treat yourself. watch a programme, relax, go outside, do something else that you enjoy. you don’t live to work!
○ give tips you follow.
writing this sounds stupid but i know for a fact that you always want to give the best to impress people. but masterposts are important because you make it out of your own experience. what the internet says does not matter, what we want is to know how you do things. that’s what make a masterpost so special. it’s okay not to drink ten gallons of water per day (please don’t do that) or to sleep twelve hours per night, we’re all different and that’s what makes us perfect in our own ways.
basically,
JUST BE YOURSELF AND THE WORLD WILL BE A BETTER PLACE ✿
