i might not always study, i don’t always do my homework, i procrastinate a lot, i leave things to the last minute, i own like two pencils, my notes are written with a sloppy handwriting and i don’t always get good grades.

there is a lot i don’t do or get, still i’m filled with joy. please don’t be so hard on yourself.

Stop comparing yourself to your best friend. Stop comparing yourself to your classmates. Stop comparing yourself to the people who “always score well”. 

You’re all in different places, and more often than not, people only show you the sides of them they want you to see. Take a deep breath and keep going. You are enough.

HA it’s been who knows how long since I’ve posted my own photos here… I’ve just been so busy with my schoolwork and other personal things that I’ve only had time to reblog a other studyblr photos here and there. Anyway, even though I’m currently on spring break, I’m at the library doing some work for my AP Biology class. Don’t get me wrong, I love anything biology-related, but I hate to admit that I’m not enjoying ecology at all so far hahaha wish me luck!!

Honestly I love the studyblr community s much everyone is so nice and I think it’s probably the only pure community left on this site. We’re just posting journals, tips, notes and general encouragment and we know to keep our paws off of posts if we can’t be nice about it. This is the best community.

[20170213 9:51 1503] - Sorry for going MIA! School has honestly been so overwhelming - it’s really hard to manage everything and I’m so stressed I cried yesterday. I only have to survive a week (ish) then I’ll be ok. School has taken over my life to the point where I don’t have time for anything else :// teach me how to be more time-efficient.

How to deal with a concept you do not understand

Breathe. If you are starting to feel flustered, stressed, frustrated, take a break. The more angsty you feel, the less likely you’ll be able to focus on the actual concept. Take a break, study something else, but make sure when you’re trying to tackle a difficult concept, you are calm, cool, and collected. 

Re-read your notes. This one is obvious but ask yourself if you’re actually re-reading your notes or if you’re just glancing over the page. Sometimes it helps to rewrite your notes in a different way. 

Read someone’s else’s notes. Sometimes reading something in a different way can help you understand a concept you are struggling with. 

Ask someone but make sure whoever you’re asking won’t confuse you further. To be safe, ask a TA, your professor, or an experienced tutor. I cannot count how many times I’ve casually asked someone to explain a concept and I end up leaving 10x more confused. Make sure you’re asking the right people. 

Google it. Seriously. There are many amazing resources out there that may be as close as the click of a button. 

Re-watch a lecture, if possible. Some professors webcast their lectures and going over your notes while listening to them is really helpful when you can’t quite grasp a concept. 

Be patient. Sometimes, you’ll need to work at a concept over a number of days and that’s perfectly okay. The most important part is that you try your best to understand and that you realize everyone learns at different paces. 

Do NOT wait until the last minute to tackle a difficult concept. Procrastinating on this kind of stuff right up before an exam can increase your anxiety and deplete your self-confidence. Make sure you tackle these difficult concepts as soon as you encounter them so you can take your time to understand everything.
