i love dropping my pen putting my glasses on my desk and rubbing my face like an exhausted divorced academic in the 1980s who is greying and sexily tousled and has been up for hours digging through the yellowed pages of old obscure treatises about etruscan pots

Break ideas

Want to take a break from studying but you don’t want to end up just scrolling through social media like a zombie? Here are some break ideas:

10 minutes or less:

go get a glass of water

make yourself a cup of tea

jurnal a bit

ask someone for a massage or just ease the tension in you shoulders yourself

go over your goals or to-do list

play with pets

make a snack (healthy if possible)

listen to music

watch a short youtube video

10 minutes or more:

stretch

work out

write a poem

draw a picture

watch an episode of your favourite show

play with pets but LONGER

spend time with family

call a friend (or text them if you aren’t a fan of phonecalls like me)

prepare lunch for the next day

watch a long youtube video

go for a walk

take a nap (shorter than 20 minutes is the best for refreshing your mind)

shower

listen to a podcast

Have an amazing day and good luck!

something truly horrific about clicking an article about a national or global tragedy only for a pop up to say you only have 3 more free articles this month and then each paragraph of the piece is divided by picture ads for skin creams while a video of a car commercial plays automatically in the corner no matter how far you scroll

Some messy notes I did in biology. I found a really cool place for my zoom class! A little cold though😅

Doodle notes that are half chemistry and half sociology! The notes on the bottom half are for my sociology class on a movie we had to watch. I tend to be messy and use the same notebook for different subjects since it depends on what I can grab to write in at any moment.

ways to see life in a softer light ✨

jump into puddles when it’s raining

draw and paint without needing to be “good” 

find a cookie recipe and do your best

collect weird rocks, thinking they’re gems

fall in love with sunsets, misty mornings, snow and rainbows

borrow a big stack of books from the library 

be excited for small things, like seeing a butterfly or pretty bird or a cat

do ‘embarrassing’ things without a care in the world if it makes you happy

go on your own adventures and plan new adventures for the future in a book

create detailed life stories of random strangers you see on the train

make a wish when an eyelash falls out, when you see a shooting star or ladybug, at 11:11pm, or invent your own superstitions for luck

have a rich world of imagination. create a beautiful strange world or thing to go to when you’re sad and need an escape, or just before you fall asleep so you can dream of this world.

be kind, gentle, loving and helpful without expecting anything back. make tea and sweet treats for people you love

believe in magical creatures, and make ordinary things and people magical in your own way.

learn to be alone and enjoy the silence and peace, but also care deeply about others, and make others feel loved and special like they deserve

find your signature scent, aesthetic, handwriting, songs, quotes, clothing and colors like you’re a protagonist in a movie

learn to smile instinctively at people you make eye contact with. be a person that radiates warmth. be the friend you’ve always needed and wanted

see the good side in everything. don’t hold grudges or let small things affect your happiness

when you catch yourself dreading something, keep telling yourself “it will be nice”, the worst case scenarios almost never happens

invent games for mundane things, like raindrops having a race rolling down the window

go swimming and pretend to be a mermaid, grow flowers and make jam and apple pies and pretend you’re in a fairytale

explore places aimlessly. walk without a purpose so you find nice surprises and places that become special to only you

notice beauty in things that you usually don’t pay much attention to

It's been rough the last few weeks. I've been spiralling down and wallowing in a funk making me not want to do anything but read and escape. It's been extremely hard to motivate myself to do anything and now I have assignments piled up that are due tomorrow. But I still have no energy to do them even though I have to. But I'm hoping to be more active on here and maybe that will help get me back on the bandwagon

Biology is kicking my butt when it comes to motivation. Taking notes is really not something I'm good at.😅

Kind of fell off the bandwagon the last few weeks and let myself spiral. Hoping to get back on said wagon and not get tossed under again! ☺️☺️

For the next few weeks I'm going to be attempting to study some basic physics courtesy of Khan academy. Hopefully I actually do it all.😅

7th July - What did you do during the summer when you were a young child?

When I was a child I loved with my grandparents (there were 9 of us including my siblings parents, and grandparents) who had acres of land. So in the summer my brothers and I would go down to the creek and swim and try to catch frogs and snakes! We caught quite a few. It was always so much fun, the creek felt like home and like we ruled it. Before living there we had lived in the city and summer there was spent in the backyards with the dogs, helping in the garden, or reading under the lilac tree. Also as a kid in summer we would go garage saling and find all sorts of cool knicknacks. So many fond memories.

Enjoy some super messy chemistry notes! I accidentally forgot to do the past few days but hopefully I can keep going and not missing anymore days!

Prompt: 6th July - What do you usually do during the summer? Is anything different this year?

During the summer I mainly read to be honest or spend my time outside. And after a few weeks off of school I get the learning bug and try to do some classes on Coursera! This summer is a little different as I am working a lot more and I might go on a trip in August.

Please excuse my messy notes! These were my notes for population in my environmental class. I am so excited to start this challenge! Prompt 1 : what are our summer plans?

My plans mainly involve working and saving up to get a new car while trying to self-study, though I am going to see my best friend who lives in a different state this August!!

July 1st/2nd ish 2021

I mean I haven't been as active as I should be but I am planning to be more active soon!

Is studyblr still a thing?

If  you are a college studyblr or something like that reblog! I’m looking for fellow struggling students for inspo to get me through the last year and so!
