hello lovelies! it’s alexis here. happy friday! (and long weekend thanks to labor day) i just finished my first ever week of college classes and i’m feeling v good about it! next week, i have 2 quizzes, a bunch of assignments due, and a mountain of reading but i’m starting to tackle it now so the weekdays will be less hectic. it’s been hard though, for some reason college makes me sleepy. does this happen to anyone else? i end up sleeping for like 10-12 hours a day......weird.

anyways here is some background on me. i’m 18, starting my first year of college, and i am planning on double majoring in architecture and business at the university of florida (which is also where i’m from) go gators! i have been toying around with the idea of starting a studyblr for a couple of months and i figured i should just go for it. a lot of inspiration came from some of the lovely studyblrs i follow (bookmrk, studymor, messynotesandcoffee, sapientstudy, jesslearnsthings, and paperandcaffeine to name a few) so thank you all for the inspiration!

feel free to message me about anything my inbox is always open :) now wish me luck, my friday night will consist of reading 50+ pages of american history

Hello everybody! So, this is a few weeks late but I had to get finals out of the way and I’m quite forgetful... but I want to formally say hello to the studyblr community and introduce myself!

My name is Pea, I’m 20 years old, and I’m a rising junior in college! I’m currently in art school studying illustration and minoring in biology. My goal is to pursue a career as a scientific illustrator in the increasingly not-so-distant future.

I have a bit of an obsession with pens and stationery, and I love to draw. I also love cats, tea, coffee, soft sweaters, and rain (I love feeling cozy). I like anything to do with space or zoology, and I have a knack for remembering useless information.

I decided to join because I could really use some motivation and study tips, and I’d love find some study buddies and make new friends :D I’m a bit internet-shy so I’m hoping to break out of my comfort zone and learn some new things along the way!

Some blogs that inspired me to make a studyblr are: @aescademic, @architstudy, @eminotes, @jesslearnsthings​, @jiyeonstudies, @studyblrsab​, @studyberri​, @studylustre​, @studypetals, @sushi-studies, @studyquill, and @tbhstudying, to name a few! Everybody on here is so lovely tbh ♡

I think that’s all! I’m super excited and looking forward to being a part of the studyblr community! I’m still just getting started and my dash is very dead so if you’re a studyblr please reblog so I can follow you! Also feel free to say hi!

Happy studying everybody!  ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉｼ

hey, guys! i’m fairly new to this community, having only discovered it last year, but i’ve always admired everyone from afar. i’ve only now decided to take part in this because, let’s just say i’ve had a tough, un-motivated study year and leave it at that. so, without further ado, let me tell you a few things about me!

- i’m danna, but you can call me dan, danny, whatever you wish!

-i’m 16 years old and going to be in my 2nd year of high school next year (majoring in child care)

- i’m from slovenia (the little chicken near italy)

- i watch a lot of anime and write in my free time

- i love harry potter (especially the musicals) and shakespare and criminal minds and fantasy

- i speak 3 languages (slovenian, english, german) and have learned swedish for a while

- besides reblogging (and posting) studying tips, notes, etc. i may also reblog (and possibly post) some fashion stuff too!!

even though it’s summer vacation i need to take an exam in august (i guess a sort of entrance exam??) because i’m transferring programs which is why i’ve also made this account so early on!!

some of my fave studyblrs: @emmastudies @studyquill @studyrose @jesslearnsthings

With spring break just around the corner and a lot of travel in the foreseeable future, I thought I’d put together something about traveling and productivity. Now, but productivity I don’t mean studying. I’ve tried that and unless I actually have a test the minute I get off the plan, it’s usually miserable. What I mean is: how can I do more than just sitting around and counting the number of people with bags that definitely won’t fit on the overhead compartment? So here’s what I try to do at airports.

1. Pack smart. I’m guilty of packing ten thousand books, pens, notebooks, cords, etc. at the last minute and just stuffing them all in my backpack. That’s not good because I can’t find anything when I get to the airport and I’m always paranoid something will fall out! So I’ve started packing earlier and smarter. I put my laptop in first as well as my bullet journal (it’s pretty big so...). Then I pack ONE notebook (I figure separating my notes later is better than breaking my back with 5 thousand notebooks). I keep my books (2-3 MAX) in a plastic bag (to prevent water damage in case of a spill). I put my small pencil case (carry only the basics!) next to it. All my charging cords go into a mesh bag that’s kept separately. I also use twist ties to keep everything organized and relatively tangle free. My headphones go in my pencil case and a water bottle in the side holder!

2. Wear comfortable clothes. Seriously. Airplanes and airports are uncomfortable enough without your clothes having to be uncomfortable too. I also like wearing things with A LOT of pockets!

3. Pick a place with good lighting. Pick a seat, cafe table, cafeteria table, etc. that has really good lighting. This is better not just for your ability to read/do work, but also for your eyes.

4. Drink water! Airplane air especially is so dry that it can be really easy to get dehydrated. I guarantee that if you get a couple sips of water, you’ll feel much much better. Take care of yourself!

5. Figure out what you want to get done, but don’t overestimate what you can do. For many people, traveling is a stressful and taxing experience. You don’t have to read 5 chapters of your bio textbook and write that 15 page essay. Read 1 chapter and write an outline. Or don’t do school work at all! Just figure out what is manageable and don’t punish yourself for not finishing everything.

6. Know what’s best for you. I cannot stress this enough. If you know you get airsick, bring motion sickness medicine or maybe just sleep through the plane ride. If you know you get cold easily. bring an extra jacket or blanket. If you know you can’t do work when you travel, then don’t! Take care of yourself!

Alright so now that I’ve completed the written application portion of college apps, I thought I might share some tidbits of knowledge I collected. I can’t promise they’ll be helpful to everyone, but I know that if I were to go through this again, I would want to know this stuff. Here goes!

It’s ok to say “I don’t want to talk about college.” Really. If talking about college is stressful, then don’t. Figure out what is good for your sanity and mental well-being and stick to it. Your friends and family will understand.

Make a comprehensive college deadline/factoid list. I’d recommend doing this during the summer break before senior year. Even if you haven’t fully narrowed down your list yet, make a deadline list for all the colleges you’re thinking about. Include financial aid deadlines, scholarship application deadlines, interview scheduling deadlines, application deadlines. Figure out how the schools do financial aid. Are they need blind? Need aware? For interviews, do colleges reach out to you? Do you have to request an interview? This doesn’t take more than a few hours in one day but it’s so worth it! I felt a lot calmer once I made my deadline list. I didn’t worry as much about missing deadlines.

Write your “Why our college?” questions first. And start these early! I found that these questions helped me figure out why I wanted to apply to this college. These questions also require a bit of research, so it’s nice to get that out of the way so you can focus more on yourself. Regrettably, I left these for the end and I felt like I had mountains of research to do.

Talk to some current students. Maybe you know someone who graduated high school a year before you that you could talk to. Even an alumni would be nice. It helps get a non-polished, real sense of the school. Be careful talking with alumni who graduated more than 10 years ago, though. Many things can change on campus during that period of time!

Phew! Ok that was long. Good luck! But also know that you will be amazing at whatever college you go to! I have so much faith in you all.

(1/7/2017) Day 37/100 days of productivity. Today and yesterday have been kind of crummy days. I took a red eye flight out of Hawaii last night. Then today, I arrive in LAX to find out my flight has been canceled! But, I found a good table and got plenty of work done AND I was rerouted to another red eye flight for tonight. So things aren't horrid.
