Funny how I've had this studyblr for so long but was actually only reposting aesthetic stuffs...

I have to admit, I TRIED to post myself but how to say it in a nice way? It sucked, and it was ugly (the pictures, but let's be real, my notes too)

I am not a student anymore, BUT I moved to another country and have to learn the language, so, yeah, I still take notes (only this time, they are pretty). And for the first time in my life, I took good-looking pictures of it.

So I had to share them.

My essentials when studying Czech:

a coffee (yep, first on the list!)

noise-cancelling Sony wh-1000xm5 headphones

laptop or iPad for translator and/or dictionary

actual pen and paper

If you have tips on how to learn efficiently a language, please let me know!

I'm practicing photography with artificial lighting.

So a few days ago, I did a little photoshoot for my matcha (tbh, it took me like 2 hours)

I love the bright colors. What about you?

[gargantuesquement]

Will anyone read this? I found my old Tumblr account after years of not logging in. I forgot what I had posted in here so I went over all my previous reposts & posts.

I feel like it was a million years ago. I feel like I'm reading someone else's words...

I'm not 20 anymore. But I'm still French. I sometimes wish I was still a student, everything seemed easier back then. But of course, when I was a teenager, I didn't think life was easy, right?

I had reposted something about the fear of not having a passion to pursue. I'm happy to announce that I found one, I'm now a photographer. Well, it has always been a passion, but now I do it professionally. At least I try. But I chose to live in another country, learn another language, and have a completely different life.

This account was supposed to be all about studying, motivation and pretty notes. But as I said, I'm now a real adult. So what should I write about now?

Anyone reading this? If yes, maybe you can let me know something. I don't know what, but something.

Oh, and this is one of my pictures btw.

~2017 Bullet Journal and Planner~

Hi everyone! A lovely anon asked if I could post the inside of my Typo planner that’s been floating around the studyblr sphere (768 notes :O) but I’m actually going to be using a two planner system this year, so I decided to show you guys this as well! I’m still in the process of decorating it, but here’s a peek inside :D

I’m going to have a separate bullet journal that I use for whole year planning and habit tracking, as well as various other lists like a careers to do list, assessment weightings and a list of things to revise. I’ve tried to make it look cheerful, because this year might not be ^^”

I’ve digitalised the cover (which I made myself using some origami paper I picked up in Japan back in 2010), so now I can just print it off whenever I need to! I’ll upload it and update this post with the link to download the printable ^__^

Here’s the monthly view - I’ve colour coded my placements this year by ‘mild’lining each week that I’m away. For May, I’ve got Red Eye Clinic and a placement down at the Australian College of Optometry in Melbourne. Decorated with lovely succulents and washi tape of course ^__^

Here I’ve got a weekly view, appropriately striped with the relevant placement colour. I’m going to be using this for day-to-day homework tasks and other chores that I have to get done, and I’ll also be adding a song of the day. I have tried Typo’s day-to-a-page planners before, but found that I didn’t need the space. Decorated by some watercolour gemstones that I’ve hand painted ^__^ 

As well as that, here’s a look at my future log/yearly overview/not sure what to call it. I had a look at other systems and nothing really seemed to suit what I needed or had enough space to accommodate all the assessment tasks and due dates. So, I decided to make a weekly breakdown roughly based around the 6-8 week rotations we have in 5th year. Luckily, it split fairly evenly and neatly when I divided it into 8 :)

I’m also going to be habit tracking this year. I first identified a list of around 21 habits that I wanted to track. Then I grouped and narrowed it down into target areas:

cups of water (the only numerical one)

sleeping early and waking early (as opposed to a set number of hours)

exercising half an hour in the morning and afternoon

no junk food, eating healthy meals with lots of vegetables :)

completing homework/assignments, and studying/revising

morning and night skin care routines

no arguments with my parents and doing the chores

Except for cups of water, these are all two-fold habits.

So I am going to use a forward slash /

or a backwards slash \ depending on which one I complete,

with a full cross X indicating that I did both that day.

Wishing everyone the best with their studies for the year ahead! Thanks for being such a welcoming community!!

Does anyone else ever feel like they’ve lost literally all motivation and all you want to do is curl up in a ball in bed and eat junk and watch films and avoid all other responsibilities for like 37 years or so
