Types during Finals

ESFP: Goes on 2837382928 forms of social media in denial that finals are coming up

ESTP: Does the same as ESFP but with more coffee

ISTP: Stays up all night scrolling through Wikipedia, somehow ends up on an article for sewing

ISFP: Listens to "Bring me to Life" on repeat as they wait for someone to save them from the nothing they've become

INFP: Their textbooks and flashcards are stained with a lot of tears. It's a good thing they use waterproof pens.

ENFP: Chugs gallons of coffee and does everything except for study for finals. (Somehow they also clean their room in the process)

ENFJ: Organizes a group study session. No one attends.

INFJ: Studied beforehand. Still as sleep-deprived as the rest for some reason.

INTJ: Pulls seven all-nighters in a row, somehow survives and is still on the honor roll

INTP: On their twenty-eighth all-nighter in a row, they put a pile of textbooks under their pillow to "absorb information". It doesn't work.

ENTP: Does the same thing as ISTP but with 47297364 more tabs

ENTJ: Goes over color-coded notes before bed, soon turns desperate and resorts to all-nighters

ESTJ: Never notices when their coffee is black when sleep-deprived

ISTJ: Screams internally as they go over 2583728 pages of notes and 976 flash cards

ISFJ: Organizes a group study session via Skype, doesn't come due to extracurricular activities

ESFJ: Comes to the study session, takes screenshots of everyone's notes, cries when it's over due to the towering responsibilities

Sorry, I haven't posted in like forever but here is my weekend morning productivity 😁

What to Do When School Gets Hard (for the first time)

Total honesty time: I was a slacker in high school. I don’t mean that in the sense that I got bad grades, or that I didn’t do extracurriculars. I mean that in the sense that I was the kid who got good grades without having to try, so I never did. Try, that is. This meant that when I got to college, I got a surprise: professors want you to actually study! Like, with the textbook and everything! Needless to say, I had a rough time figuring out how to do this “studying” thing, and I know I’m probably not alone in this boat. The good thing is, I’ve figured this out, for the most part, so now you can learn from my mistakes.

Assume every class is going to be your hardest, going in. The day you don’t assume you’re going to have to put in five hours minimum studying for the first real test in a class is the day you will really regret. Until you get a feel for a certain professor, treat it like it’s super hard.

Schedule in studying time and STICK WITH IT. DO THIS. Or else you will end up like me, making friends with the other lone person who inhabits the study lounge at 1 am. Don’t be me, guys.

Never underestimate the power of teaching others. Seriously, I definitely have kinda taken advantage of my classmates, because I’m the person who tries to explain stuff and writes out the impromptu study guides. By teaching them, though, I’m actually prepping MYSELF to wreck the curve. Basically, once you know it well enough to explain it to others, you’re golden.

Do ALL the readings. The professor that assigns the most readings is also the professor who expects you to have learned the most from them, in my experience. Also, don’t just highlight stuff: write important points that you would want to highlight in your notes. Highlighting is just coloring for grownups - it’s fine, but it’s not going to help you learn. It’s just going to catch your eye later.

Don’t judge a professor’s tests by their lecture style. Imagine: a sweet little 5 foot nothing professor, dressed to the nines every day and super kind to everyone. My professor who fits this description causes about a third of her students to retake her classes every year. Bigshot business guy with a ridiculously high consulting rate and a weird robe he always wears? 98% pass his classes. Focus on the material, not the prof.

Save your homework assignments. It turns out that in college, homework is 95% of the times something that you can actually study from. Do it, do it well, then hang on to it.

Know your preferred study habitats. Do you like to study around a lot of people or by yourself? Are windows a distraction or a necessity? Is the library great or just too far away to bother with? Keep an eye on when you study best and then try to replicate it later.

Get rid of unnecessary distractions. Turn off your phone. Notifications are Bad for concentration. Close your email unless you absolutely need it. Have a drink and something to nibble on if you use that as an excuse to avoid studying. Maybe avoid studying with that one person if you are distracted by existing near them.

Plan out regular breaks. Tell yourself every half hour you can go on Facebook, or wander down the hall and talk to someone, or read a chapter of that thing you’ve been working on. Just have something planned out that you can actively work towards. Not just having an abyss of time to fill with studying can be really useful.

As for studying itself:

Notecards, re-writing notes in a different format, having someone quiz you, making study guides, and writing practice essays about stuff have all been super useful for me in some respect or another.

You’ve got this. We can study together.

Update: edited to remove the admittedly funny typo in no. 8. This is why you schedule study time and get sleep and be NOT ME.

Late night studies... Watching "My Babysitter’s a Vampire” while typing up my AP Art essay with coffee keeping me awake...😕

I'm back on track with note taking. Here are a few business notes that I took. I love adding banners 😊

Finally got Netflix in my country and I'm addicted. It has made me procrastinate :( Trying to get back on track. Doing calculus homework while watch “"Bride Wars”

TAKING NOTES HELP!!!

Hey guys... I need a friendly help from all my fellow studyblrs or from anyone. I just got the novel “1984 by George Orwell” in English class and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to analyze a novel and take notes as I read it. I am so confused. I want to be able to find the themes and the literary devices. Please help me with a master post on how to take notes from a novel...

New Studyblr!

Hello! I’m Megan, I’m 16, and I’m currently in year 11 in Australia. I’ve been looking at the studyblr community since November last year and I finally decided to make my own! The new school year starts soon, so I’m trying to get myself as motivated as possible!

[elkstudies]

Welcome to the community!!!

[tanvee-studyblr]

Hey Megan :) I am 16 and I am in my 11th year as well :) I hope you will check out my studyblr where I post original pics to motivate :) anyway, welcome 

[leggomyespresso-deactivated2016]

Why you should set aside a day every week to NOT study:

Burnout is real.

It keeps you going. Ie, you push yourself on Thursday because Friday is your break day or you’re relaxed and happy to get back to work on Saturday since you’re back from your break.

You won’t be easily distracted since you’ll have a WHOLE DAY to binge watch whatever shows you missed during the week.

It keeps you sane.

Lets you have a social life.

You can do a little reward system. Maybe for one week: “If I finish one chapter per day this week, I’ll buy a lush bath bomb for Friday”. Maybe even for one month: “If I do all of my homework and prereading before the lesson every day this month, I’ll splurge and buy MGS5″ (Oh who am I kidding that was a guarantee anyways).

sERIOUSLY, IT KEEPS YOU SANE.

Happy studying!

22 Very Studyblr Things

reblogging a post you already reblogged 20 seconds ago - so much motivation, so little time

praying that your phone doesn’t run out of charge before you get the perfect shot

spending more time reblogging pictures about studying that actually studying

browsing Amazon and Hema for study supplies on your breaks

regularly scrolling down your own blog page for studyspo

spending your first two Studyblr weeks on the prowl for momentum

stalking the notes of a studyspo pic to find more people to follow

dropping everything at the sight of a (1) in your inbox

totally abandoning your personal tumblr

wishing you lived close enough to a picturesque coffee shop that you could study in

debating the worth of bullet journalling

making a b-line for the stationery isle in every store you shop in

making the ultimate life decision - Staedtler or Stabilo?

keeping the seller of Zebra Mildliners on Amazon in business

knowing enough about examinations held in countries you don’t even live in to maybe sit them yourself

questioning whether or not you’re brave enough to whip out your phone to take a picture of your study spot in the library

stalking your favourite blogs to see their recently answered questions

quivering at the thought of writing on the first page of your new notebook

taking regular notes on graph paper and wondering why you ever only used it for math

regularly zooming in on other people’s studyspo pictures so you can read what their notes say

lusting after a white topped desk

frequently wondering how the hell you studied before studyblr

Survived my 8 AM-3PM clinical lab last Thursday. There was so much individual talking and hands on work involved for CPR, blood pressure, and SPO2 during that day but in the end it, the learning was all worth it. I also had a great time with my nursing group mates and had a chance to get to know them individually. 

[tanvee-studyblr]

Soo pretty 

[tanvee-studyblr]

Studying for my SAT exam. I am SUPER scared because I won't get my 12th grade diploma if I don't get a 400 score in math. Any tips? @elkstudies

[tanvee-studyblr]

The stationary section is my drug. Most parents worry about kids spending money on clothes but my parents should worry about me buying too much stationary. Do you guys relate?

[tanvee-studyblr]

OH MY GOD... I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT ELKSTUDIES IS FOLLOWING ME... THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE... AHHHH THIS IS MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT :) @elkstudies
