Oh, what the hell, Florida.
Heyyy so I just looked at my spreadsheet of banned books and...
There are 1,402 BANNED BOOKS in the state of Florida ALONE.
To put that in perspective, on that very same spreadsheet, the number of banned books in California is: one (1).
If you guys have been following this (very new) blog and my posts, then you will know that the number of banned books in Colorado is: eight (8).
In Arkansas, it's four (4).
So. Just to reiterate, to repeat.
As of June 2023,
THE STATE OF FLORIDA HAS BANNED 1,402 BOOKS.
NEARLY HALF OF ALL BANNED BOOKS THIS YEAR, AND NEARLY THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF BANNED BOOKS IN 2022 IN TOTAL.
FLORIDA. HAS. BANNED. 1,402. BOOKS.
Please read banned books. Support libraries. Support authors. And please, please please please please, for the love of everything, stay safe. I love each and every one of you. Stay safe.
Support the American Library Association here.

📑📚 ACE YOUR EXAMS 📚📑
This is a guide for people who have exams coming up. It consists of what to do if you want 100% on your upcoming exams, study tips, and more!
Study tips:
Check this masterlist by @merakinotes and also this post+ masterlist by @areistotle it has everything you’ll ever need.
Bank of questions / past papers study method: you can create your own questions on Quizlet or any online quiz maker or use past papers/ revision resources.
Study everyday. If your exam is even a month away, that’s good because it means you don’t have to study hours everyday, but you can at least keep a goal to study 30 mins a day or to learn/ understand/ memorise a new thing part of that topic every day.
Feynman technique. Basically pretend as if you’re the teacher and teach the topic to someone/ something (ex a stuffed animal)
Record yourself talking. When you’re revising, record yourself talking about some of the stuff so you can listen to it later when you’re unable to study.
Visual learning!! Personally, I love this one. If you’re studying something like science, history, etc, then draw pictures! Draw pictures to better help you understand a word/ concept. (Example: in science I couldn’t remember the whole definition of combustion so I just drew a stickman image of the atom and the oxygen and then those 2 chemically combined)
During the exam:
Never turn the exam in early!! Are you finished? Then re read the exam and re take the exam. Double check, triple check etc your answers. Keep looking through your answers again and again, step by step. Only give the test in at the very end.
Watch the clock! Don’t spend lots of time on one question trying to figure it out. Look at the time and make sure you still have enough to complete all the questions and maybe also recheck them.
If you don’t completely understand a question/ it’s more complicated: skip it and go to the next question. Come back to that harder question later.
Manifesting:
Remember: the 100/100 grade is already yours. You just need to claim it!
Affirmations: you can create your own set of customised affirmations or you can use THIS affirmation list that I made for high grades
Subliminal: I’ve made a playlist on YouTube with all my favourite academic subliminals. You can also search up 100/100 grades or full marks in tests subliminals.
More resources:
(These are just to further help you if these tips do not help. Remember that watching videos or reading about studying/ study tips is not studying. It’s procrastinating. Consume these in moderation.)

Study Diary #2
I am currently studying while sitting in the Kitchen. My dinner is cooking on the hob behind me and I am stressed about my reading material. The night sky looks beautiful (it's 8:43pm). Days are long and nights are short. The submission deadline is on Monday and I haven't started writing yet, but I have faith that I will somehow manage it. I always do...
