Reblog if you're a studyblr

Looking for more blogs to follow and I can never seem to find any by searching on my own. I’m hoping this will make its round so not only I can find some good new blogs to follow but other people can, too!

PLEASE reblog if you’re a studyblr, even (especially) if you’re a new baby one, I’d love to support you on your journey!

Sorry for my inactivity, I’ve been busy with college orientations and activities! Anyways, here’s a detailed infographic about my study habits, as requested by an anon. Please take note that these habits are effective for me, but may not be effective for you. Do not feel pressured to adapt these because there is no single “right” way to study! I encourage you to find out the best study habits for YOU.

Tips for effective studying

1. PLAN PLAN PLAN 

I’m sure everyone is used to reading this but it is so important to create a study schedule and plan what you’re going to do in advance. The most important thing to any student should be their planner. Within this it is best to plan monthly, weekly and daily. This may sound daunting at first, but once you get into the habit of planning you will find this so easy! When planning your time it is important to consider what exactly you have to do, and ensuring these things are done first. 

2. Organise your study space 

Studying in a calm environment can make it an easier experience. Keeping your study notes in order also makes studying more enjoyable. I would recommend organising your notes with folders and dividers. However, this doesn’t work for everyone so it might be better to mess around with different organisational systems until you find the one that works best for you. 

3. Create a study group 

Some people may prefer to study alone but, it can be very beneficial to study with others. Maybe some of your friends study the same subject as you? If so, you can teach each other, test each other or even sit in silence. Having someone to bounce your ideas of can be really helpful. 

4. Practice old exam papers (and use the mark schemes)

This may sound boring but it is a really useful technique. Using old exam papers  can help you come to grips with the types of questions you could get and the markschemes can help you decipher the best way to answer the questions and they will tell you exactly what the exam board is looking for. 

5. Use handouts wisely 

Most teachers/professors will provide hand outs. It is important to use these, make sure you read through them, make your own notes on them and even highlight them.

Wish my study notes could look like this! You’re an inspiration! 

loose-leaf notebooks are my favourite thing - I use them for both my notes and bullet journal!

Introduction...

Well, here it is, my first post on tumblr. 

tumblr handle: zoestudyposts 

I never thought I would be creating a studyblr but the inspiration within this community is amazing! My name is Zoe and I’m 18 years old. I recently completed my A level examinations (I took Psychology, Sociology and Health and Social Care) I am waiting on results day. Although I have a plan for the future I’m currently waiting on results day! 

If all goes to plan I hope to attend DeMontfort University this year to study Education Studies with Psychology. 

I am planning to use this platform to inspire others! The posts will centre around photos of study notes and advice on how to deal with a large workload. In the future I hope to design printables to help other people organise their notes! 

This is something I didn’t think I would be doing, however, after following @emmastudies on instagram and looking through her other accounts I was inspired to start something of my own! Before starting I looked online for some advice when I came across a post by @brainiakk which helped me to get this up and running! 

Thank you for taking the time to read my first post!
