saturday | may 24

treating myself to a productive morning at a bougie coffeeshop. most weekends i just study in my dorm until the library opens, but getting off campus is a welcome disruption. just a couple more weeks left in the term, something which is both reassuring and terrifying.

in other news, my petition to graduate early was approved yesterday, so i'm officially 1 year away from finishing my degree!

I hope all the AP exams went well and good luck with college!!!

hi, i’m a new studyblr 🐣

hello all! my name is ashleigh and i’m currently a senior in high school. i’ve has multiple different studyblr accounts in the past, but i decided to make a new one. i’m a sideblog, so all notes and follows will come from @teatreeglow, my self care blog.

i decided to make a studyblr because recently i’ve really been struggling with motivation and suffering from major senioritis. i know i have lots of AP exams and finals in the next few weeks and that i really need to get on studying for them, so i knew studyblr would be a perfect resource!

next year, i am going to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to study actuarial science, and i’m so excited! my hobbies include photography, exploring nature, bullet journaling, and singing. i love the color yellow, caesar salads, and the 1975.

please give me a follow, and let’s go on this journey together! reblog to help me find more mutual!

below is a small, definitely not finished, list of studyblrs that inspire me. i can’t wait to meet more people from this community and get motivated!

Duolingo Sucks, Now What?: A Guide

Now that the quality of Duolingo has fallen (even more) due to AI and people are more willing to make the jump here are just some alternative apps and what languages they have:

"I just want an identical experience to DL"

Busuu (Languages: Spanish, Japanese, French, English, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Korean)

"I want a good audio-based app"

Language Transfer (Languages: French, Swahili, Italian, Greek, German, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, English for Spanish Speakers)

"I want a good audio-based app and money's no object"

Pimsleur (Literally so many languages)

Glossika (Also a lot of languages, but minority languages are free)

*anecdote: I borrowed my brother's Japanese Pimsleur CD as a kid and I still remember how to say the weather is nice over a decade later. You can find the CDs at libraries and "other" places I'm sure.

"I have a pretty neat library card"

Mango (Languages: So many and the endangered/Indigenous courses are free even if you don't have a library that has a partnership with Mango)

Transparent Language: (Languages: THE MOST! Also the one that has the widest variety of African languages! Perhaps the most diverse in ESL and learning a foreign language not in English)

"I want SRS flashcards and have an android"

AnkiDroid: (Theoretically all languages, pre-made decks can be found easily)

"I want SRS flashcards and I have an iphone"

AnkiApp: It's almost as good as AnkiDroid and free compared to the official Anki app for iphone

"I don't mind ads and just want to learn Korean"

lingory

"I want an app made for Mandarin that's BETTER than DL and has multiple languages to learn Mandarin in"

ChineseSkill (You can use their older version of the course for free)

"I don't like any of these apps you mentioned already, give me one more"

Bunpo: (Languages: Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Korean, and Mandarin)

i haven't posted anything in a million years so here's some psychology and chemistry notes from today! school's still a struggle rn but i was able to drop a class and lighten my workload, which has already made me feel a lot better. i know i can get through this semester, i just need a little more discipline + motivation.

i hope everyone is having a good, productive, and healthy(!!!) semester. 💖

Day 1 of winter classes - Introduction to Psychology: Part 1

The History of Psychology

It’s 3am and my classes started at midnight and I immediately hopped onto my Psych class.

I am so incredibly excited for this class and am ecstatic that we’re using Crash Course Psychology as a resource for the term.

Absolutely pumped.

19.01.2022 // is this among the prettiest posts i've shared with u? obviously not. but it's been ages since i posted anything but book-related content, so hi, hello, a bit of a long time no see situation :) ngl the past half a year has been absolute hell and i'm really not having the time of my life, but i absolutely refuse to quit, so there's that; quite inconvenient when you have over 11 exams in the span of a month if u ask me, but ✨it is what it is✨ am i right.. anyway, hope you've started the year off better and that you get enough time to yourself this year to do what sparks joy alongside your studies/work xx
