5 over 100 Days of Productivity

07.30.2021 Friday

Dude, I finally got some work done. And I was able to do some cardio! I jump roped up to 750 (supposed to be 1k but i DoNT wanto). I got around to reading and studying my Biology lessons, just trying to get into the mood before class officially starts.

My first post!! What better way to begin than to commemorate the beauty, grace and intelligence that is Nakia from Black Panther? I used all of the green because Ryan Coogler mentioned that a color represented each character in the film and Nakia’s is green. (I also accidentally referenced St. Patrick’s Day next week heh) ALSO open for higher res bc tumblr hates me wtf

 If anyone wants to gush about this film/the cast, pls hit up my messages bc IT’S SO GOOD I’m still shook and also t’challa owns me)

 BTW pls follow me on insta @intelligentias 😩 #wakandaforever

May and June are for two things only: studying and crying

hello! the studyblr community is constantly growing, so i thought i’d make a post to help new studyblrs get started. i hope this helps you!! (header inspired by rifle paper co.)

- ̗̀ general information ̖́-

studyblr = study + tumblr! the studyblr community is incredibly supportive, and there are so many valuable resources and kind people out there to help you. anyone can be a studyblr. you don’t need expensive stationery to be productive and successful! here are some useful links and chrome extensions:

what’s a bullet journal? by @studypetals

calligraphy and hand lettering

momentum (a studyblr favorite!)

xkit (a tumblr lifesaver pls download xkit omg)

lanes (new tab w pomodoro timer)

plan & my study life (organizes ur daily tasks!)

mendeley (research lifesaver!)

lagom (super cute tab page)

gistnote (highlight on ur computer!)

- ̗̀ setting up your studyblr ̖́-

create a unique url. many people incorporate their name or interests into their urls somehow. for example, my url is studyplants because i love all kinds of flowers and plants. @studyquill​‘s studyblr url generator may give you some inspiration! feel free to check out my saved urls page as well :)

find a theme. your theme will help you stand out! a clean and organized theme will help you and others find useful posts. i’ve included some of my favorite theme makers and specific themes to give you some ideas:

acuite​  [ calypso / clio / thalia ]

sorrism [ helium / breezeblocks /  kindred ]

felinum [ bakovia / shortcake / mediocre ]

- ̗̀  original content  ̖́-

the introduction post. this should be your first studyblr post! it’s never too late to introduce yourself. be sure to include your name (if you’re comfortable with that!) and whether you’re a high school, college student, etc. you can also talk about your interests and what you hope to accomplish by making a studyblr. finally, mention some of your favorite studyblrs! you can look at other people’s studyblr introductions here. 

studyblr photos. you can photograph anything, from your notes to your workspace to the contents of your pencil case. keep in mind that most studyblr photos are edited. you definitely don’t have to do that, but if you do, here are my secrets for editing photos. some people use the vsco app, but i just edit from my iphone 5. 

step 1: change the cast!! you’ll find this under the color settings. basically you just need to give your photo a slight blue tint. trust me, it makes a huge difference!

step 2: adjust the lighting! i like to play around with exposure, brightness, black point, and contrast until i find a good balance

masterposts. if you’re not comfortable posting photos but you have tips you want to share, i’d recommend making a masterpost! you can include useful links and your own advice. making a cool header image (like the one on this post hehe) can make your masterpost stand out. my all-time favorite resource for this is canva. it has TONS of free templates and fonts. you can read all about it here. 

- ̗̀  final thoughts  ̖́-

i really hope this helps you! if you have any intros or studyblr posts you want to share with me, i track #studyplants. this is ironic because i’m actually pretty shy, but i’d definitely suggest putting yourself out there and trying to make new friends! you can start by tagging lots of studyblrs in your original posts or by messaging some of your favorite bloggers. good luck!

2/100 days of productivity

Kinda bland, I gotta say.

I did some work for my mom, so I was busy with that the whole day. I splurged on some desk items and cat toys, and I got them on a kinda good deal. (will not be disclosing to family though, it's my earned money anyway) I only did some quick studying with those free online textbooks from OpenStax.

I'm trying my best with my subjects and juggling to keep up with healthy practices, especially with mental health. It's definitely tiring and a lot of tugging at limbs and will; and the results won't always be what you wish them to be, but at the end of the day I feel thankful for the continuous effort I see my self do. I was never like that, the type to keep on advancing bravely even at the face of adversity; and I'm proudly joyous. Some people may not deem my marks good or high, or myself as intelligent or hardworking enough, but at the end of the day my heart is at peace. That's enough.
