Exams are around the corner and I feel a little pressured by time. In this time I find useful trying to study with some of my colleagues, being able to clarify or ask questions to others helps me out.

You’re unstoppable

Go study for your finals. Write that paper and finish that presentation. Study those flash cards. Stop procrastinating, have more trust in you and get off your phone.

Ok, so, if you don't have too much money in your piggie bank, something that really isn't a shame, I have a few good suggestions for super-creative and totally cheap gifts! (for Christmas ofc) 1.Postcards (postcard album) If you have postcards from different places you have been to, you can gather them all into an album and give it to your loved one! This will impress the person and he/she will always have a book with all your beautiful memories! If you want to give it a special Christmas scent, spray it with some cinnamon perfume or vanilla essence! Add some red/green/white glitter here and there and here you are! Smells like Christmas! 2. Bullet journal Oky, everyone must have a bulley journal. Even adults (lol). First of all because they keep track of things you want to note down and because they are fun to do, calming and relaxing. If you want to buy a bujo to one of your friends / relatives it shouldn't cost too much! But if you feel like it's more than you can achieve just buy a simple notebook or agenda with blank pages (or even lined ones, that works too!). If you still think it's too much for you, you can just do one by yourself! I'll let you a link to a DIY bullet journal. 3. Knitted clothes If you wanna offer a nice pair of cozy socks or a sweater or something else, you can just knit it! If you already know how to knit then this one should be easy peasy for you! If you don't know how to knit but you are skillful at hand-made work, you should start learning from now, so you have time to do something nice for your beloved one. You can give someone cute cozy Christmas socks, sweaters, fur caps, fur gloves, muffles. Or even a nice pair of leggings! Just spread you creativity and put love into it and it's gonna be awesome! 4. Photo frames If you want to make them remember your Christmas gift as long as possible and be the most special gift, but don't don't want to spend your whole bank on it, just hand-make a photo frame by yourself! Firstly look for a good-looking photo with you and the person. Secondly, look for a photo frame and the right dimension that matches the photo. If you can't afford to buy one, even one at second-hand standards or if you're not safe / sure with it, make one. If you don't know how to improvise one, just ask one of your friends/relatives for it, they must have one, but remember to don't tell them what is it for, as it is a surprise ;3. In case that you still can't find one, you can go in the house's attic / basement ( or wherever your family stores things and old boxes), and search through old family stuff, there has to be a frame with an old photo that you can get out! If you can't find a frame to match your photo, edit and resize it, (or crop it), and done! Add glitters, sparkles, cute winter stickers or anything to make your frame look new and awesome! If you feel to, even repaint it :). 5. Photo album If you want to show them you worked harder on something specially just for them, and 100% made by you, you should give them an album full of your amazing memories together! If you don't have any album already, you can ask someone from your family for one, or you can search through your old family stuff (again), get an album from there (smelling like an antique book), get the photos out from it (hoping they won't turn to dust, cause family stuff's old) and put in new memories!  If you don't find any, you can always improvise! Just take an usual notebook, throw some fabulous photos in it, fart some sparkle, puke some rainbows over it, draw a little hare and there and your totally cool, personalized hand-made album's gonna rock! If you found out an old family photo album, and wanna make it look better, draw over the pages with markers, paints, anything colored! Add decorations and other pretty things and spray it with a cinnamon scented perfume (so that horrible smell of old book goes away) or with any other scent. You can even spray it with vanilla / chocolate / strawberry / etc. essence! If you feel to you can even write little pieces of memories in corners or in text bubbles according to the pics! Just inpire yourself and put love into it and you'll amaze your friend/relative with the amazing gift! 6. A letter Write a letter to the person with the things you appreciate most about them! Fill it with nice small doodles and hearts and other decorations and there you are! It's a nice gift and the person's gonna love it! If you wanna write more you can even bring along some of your wonderful times together from the past or really anything you want about them! Just be you! And don't be afraid or shy to give them your most beautiful honest thoughts about them in that letter! They'll put a price on it even more!7. A movie There's no way to show your love towards family or friends anyway than making a photo movie just for them! You can browse for their best photos on their social medias, so they won't be embarassed if you put a certain photo, and put them in the movie! If you can't find any, take that person out and expose him/her to a secret photo session! Pretend to take photos as memories! They won't even know what hit them! Add some effects / FXS, and you're done! I'll also leave some suggestions with apps that you can use for this, or if you have access to a laptop/computer whenever you like, just open Powerpoint and throw your creativity (and the pictures) there! Also don't hesitate to edit your photos with Adobe photoshop to make them look better, or any other app! 8. A draw Yes, you can even draw! If the person really loves you he/she is gonna appreciate your gesture rather than the gift itself! Tho, a good gift won't hurt anyone, but I'm sure you can do great no matter what! You can portrait the person and add from the scratch a Merry Christmas in a corner, if you're so talented after all ;)  If not, you can doodle on some blank pages a few, really cute and emotional moments from your life (yours and theirs) and throw a Merry Christmas somewhere at the end. If you feel inspirational, you can even add decorations like jingle bells, Christmas trees, mistletoe, snowflakes etc as edges! Just throw your memories on the blankness of the paper! (maybe add some ink too (; ) 9. A song Since you're so talented and fabulous at everything, why don't you dedicate a song to your beloved one?  You can compose one by yourself or if you tangle your pen in the lyrics, you can ask a friend/family member to help you out! (and when I say to help you out I don't mean put them do all the job for you, just help you stick some lyrics together so they actually mean something)  If you really don't want something composed by you, you can take a Christmas song from YouTube and sing it (or any other song).  You can even make a little mash-up, take several lyrics from different songs, find a good instrumental and voila! What a good job! 10. Explosion box This is the most awesome hand-made, easy and cheap gift you could offer to someone (from my point of view). It's like a photo album. Just that it surprises the person you're offering it to more. It's a hand-made thingy that looks like a box, and when you pull the cover it unfolds like an explosion and reveals it's wonderful inside! You can fill if with photos, and along with the photos you can also add some texts bubbles with something from you, or even draw/doodle! Your explosion box, your choices!  I'm not gonna explain the whole process, the main objective is to be as creative as you can and I'll leave a link for ya to a tuto. This was all! I hope I inspired you and that this article helped you, even if it was, uh, a lily bit longer that expected (and maybe boring). Thank you for reading, if you liked it, show it some love!  If you want to message me about what I should write next, or give a feedback to this article, my messages are always open!

how to: get organized for school {part 1}

just a girl who's clueless but still likes to pretend she's not

1. Planning is everything

You should definitely have a planner. A planner is nice to write down your homework, assignments and appointments. If you write everything down, you'll feel organized and put together. Just a quick look can give you an overview of your week/month.

those are some examples of planners. I personally prefer the last one for school, but I do use things like the first one for planning my entire week.

2. Learn how to write neatly

This can help you feel organized too. It always feels nice to look at (for example) your planner and see everything very nicely written. Also, it helps to make clear what you wrote down. Writing neatly makes sure that it is easy to read what you have written.

3. Summarize

Summarizing what you have to study can really help you. I know it takes a lot of time, but the results are worth it. While you are summarizing, you will also learn about the subject. Summarizing is a fun way of studying, because you can be very creative. Try to learn some different fonts and little drawings to decorate your summary. Making a good summary will give you an overview of everything you'll have to study, plus it will give a very organized and put together feeling.

4. Have a routine

Having a routine can really help you to study better. You should try to find out what works best for you, but I will give you a short overview of my routine.

After I get home, I get a snack and go to my room. In my room, I start with checking my planner. Then I write down everything I have to do in a to-do list. I usually start with a little bit of easy homework, just so I can get in the vibe of studying. Also, finishing up a small task can really help you feel confident in your studying. After that, I start studying. While I'm reading, I write down the most important and difficult parts. After I finish reading, I make an overview of everything I wrote down, see number 3.

When I have studied everything and did all the homework on my list, I go an and reward myself for staying focused. At night, before I go to sleep, I read my summary again and I do this too before I leave for school the next morning.

5. Find out how you study

There are four types of learners: visual, auditory, kinesthetic and reading/writing.

You can take a test here: http://www.educationplanner.org/students/self-assessments/learning-styles-quiz.shtml

Knowing how you study best can help you improve your performances.

That's it for this time!

If you want to know more about what I do and get some study tips, let me know.

HOW TO BE PRODUCTIVE ON THE WEEKENDS

Hi study buddies it is Saturday night and I’m home alone and one thing I hate about being alone is that I really never get anything done. I’m either cooking or I’m in my bed and I just hate doing that because I’m so unproductive. I know a lot of us just hate studying especially during our “down time” and we also have other priorities we need to do during the daytime. So today I’m going over some tips on how you can make your weekend a little but more productive and studious. 

there are 60 hours between the end of Friday after getting out of school and the end of Sunday, substracting let’s say seven hours of sleep every day you have about 39 hours of free time.

That is plenty of time to relax, do all the activities you need to do and also be productive to work on assignments. The first thing you need to do is plan out your weekend and make a schedule.

if you don’t want to read everything, i made a video explaining the same exact productivity tips on my youtube channel {link}

STUDY EARLY + PLAN A SCHEDULE

Weekends are a time for you to relax, but if you can, try to start working early in the morning because you’re going to be more productive and your brain can actually function properly. 

By 12-1 AM at night is the time where the majority of people including me cannot be productive so just try to avoid working during that time period because it’s just not a good time to be trying to memorize math functions and write a week pieced essay. I know that every time I try to study during 1 AM or 2 AM I always end up being so slow at retaining information, it just becomes counter productive. 

Start your assignments on Saturday night or the afternoon and try to finish it during Sunday morning. (recommended)

if you have the motivation to start your homework during Friday obviously do your homework during Friday, that is the best thing to do, but for the majority of us I know we would like to relax for a little bit.

So just try to plan a routine and schedule that matches your weekend

FIND A STUDY PARTNER

So now that you have created a routine or something or you can follow. I’m going to go over some tips on how you can be more focused and concentrated on doing the stuff that you need to do.

find a study buddy or just a friend that you know can keep you company. 

go to your local coffee shop or someone’s house and work there because if you have someone nearby, they can keep you accountable for actually doing your work  (obviously find a friend that will not distract you).

 If you can’t meet them in person Skype them I know a lot of people go on Skype chats with your friends and do homework. I think that is a really good idea I’ve done it a few times myself and I’ve been pretty productive during them. So try to have someone nearby that can keep you on track so you don’t spiral down into a YouTube and Netflix day.

NO MORE DISTRACTIONS

Another thing you can do is actually download some applications  that can keep you off sites like Netflix, YouTube, and Facebook.

I talked about this in my how to be productive after school video and basically just download this app called “self control” {link}

what it does is that a blocks you from using sites that you would normally get distracted on.

So you can and manually put in sites like Facebook.com and Netflix.com The app will block you from using it for certain amount of time that you put in, so usually when I’m studying I block myself from using YouTube for about 30 minutes to an hour limit.

FIND A STUDY SPACE

Experiment with where you’re studying because I know I cannot concentrate for my life In my bedroom.

The majority of the times where I’m the most productive is in my kitchen

experiment with where you’re studying and find out if you were the most productive in your bedroom or if you’re the most productive sitting on a couch or on a dining table.

TO-DO LIST

My fourth tip is to have a to-do list of all the things you need to do.

 having a written down to do list is really important because sometimes you just forget about tasks and you might end up not doing some of them.

having a physical piece of paper saying that you need to do all these things by the end of it this day will help you to keep you on track.

LISTEN TO MUSIC (or not, it depends)

Another thing you can do is actually play some music

music helps a lot of people, including me, study more efficiently because it blocks out all the distractions from the outside world and keeps you focused inside your little bubble so you can work on your assignments

note that music isn’t always the best thing to listen to while studying especially for classes like history or english but I do really recommend it if you’re doing some math problems because it can be quite relaxing

And if you don’t know what to listen to I really recommend checking out my study playlist which is study & chill  {link}

study session playlist - instrumental music, piano solos, soundtracks from movies {link}

Now that you have done all these things, You are for sure ready to be productive and focus on finishing all those assignments you need to do. GOOD LUCK!

🌸How to Succeed in School🌸 The first thing I should tell you is that you can do it! As long as you put in the work, your grade is guaranteed to go up. I believe in you :) 1) Don't be discouraged. Everybody fails once. Take it from a person who has had a 4.0 GPA their whole life, because I've had my share of failed quizzes. If you've been working hard and you still get a bad grade, that should be your motivation to work harder. You might not see an improvement right away, but that's no reason to stop. Keep working, and it's impossible NOT to get better! 2) Avoid distractions. When you're studying or doing homework, turn off your phone. I'm serious. If you're an iOS user, hold down the power button and actually turn off your phone. If you need to look something up, use a computer. This might seem extreme, but it's really important that you are undistracted while you are doing work. Turning off your phone and putting it in a place where you won't see it (out of sight, out of mind) will help you get focused and remember information better. 3) Get better sleep. Notice how I said better, and not more. (Well, more sleep is better, but...) If you go to bed stressed, you wake up stressed. Before bed, try to meditate a little (there are a lot of useful apps for this. I recommend Headspace) or just take a few deep breaths and forget about anything that might make you anxious. Try to avoid sleeping with your phone nearby, because that will tempt you and make it harder to get to sleep. Anything you can do to develop a bed-time routine (for example, I always read before going to bed) will help also. If you're one of those people who sleep at 2 AM every day and it's hard for you to go to bed earlier, try to take small steps, like going to bed 5 minutes earlier every day. Finally, to maintain the proper circadian rhythm, DON'T sleep in on the weekends (at least not extremely). Doing this messes up your sleep cycle and will actually make you more tired on the weekdays. I know this is super hard (especially for teenagers) but if you can wake up on the weekends at around the same time (give or take an hour or so) that you do on the weekdays, you will see better results. 4) Take time every day. Choose a class. It could be your hardest class, or the one that has a quiz coming up. EVERY DAY, take around 10 minutes or more to review what happened in that class. Pretend you're the teacher, and teach yourself. This will guarantee the information is stuck in your head. If it's a math class, or one that involves solving something, make sure to do a couple of practice problems. 5) Take advantage of online resources. Khan Academy is a GREAT website to review certain areas (mostly math) On the weekends, if you have some spare time, go on Khan Academy and just do a couple of problems or watch some videos. There are also a lot of videos on YouTube that help with a variety of subjects. Crash Course covers so many things, including Chemistry, AP U.S. History, and more. Again, in your spare time, try to look them up and watch a couple of videos, even if it's only review. 6) Always ask questions. If you don't understand something, ALWAYS ask someone about it. Don't worry about what they think, the most important person is you. The best person to ask is your teacher, but if you feel really uncomfortable doing that, your friend or your parent might be a good second option. Whatever you do, make sure you understand the concept you have a question about before you move on in the class. 7) General tips: Do your homework. Pay attention in class. Study. (obviously) Come prepared. Be organized. Participate in class (this is a great way to get easy points). Avoid being absent. Form a study group, if you think it will help you learn better. That's it! I hope this was helpful! If you have a personal trick that helps you study or get better grades, make sure to comment it so other people can see!

Мечты не работают, пока не работаешь ты.

Первую запись здесь я хочу посвятить мотивации в учебе. Так как уже начался учебный год,многим из нас не хочется делать то или иное задание,и пока погода радует хочется пойти погулять.К примеру,со мной такое случается часто,меня утомляют задания и хочется отвлечься. Как же себя настроить на учебу? Где и как найти мотивацию?

🍁Подумай,что для тебя главное,а что второстепенное.Поставь себе цель.Если ты хочешь чего-то добиться в жизни,знания необходимы.Зачастую самообразование дает больше пользы,чем обычная школьная или университетская программа.Когда у тебя есть цель,изучение будет намного проще и эффективнее.🍁

🍁Найди свой источник вдохновения.К примеру,меня вдохновляют мотивирующие видео на YouTube или красивые картинки школьной канцелярии,и через десять минут я уже готова к учебе.🍁

🍁Так как речь зашла о канцелярии, не нужно откладывать ее на потом.Порадуйте себя новыми принадлежностями с которыми учеба станет ярче и интереснее.🍁

🍁Найдите человека,который будет вдохновлять вас своей историей успеха.Сейчас много известных и успешных людей ведут блоги,в которых описывают свою жизнь или рассказывают,что вас ждет на пути к успеху.🍁

🍁За учебой не стоит забывать о здоровье.Делайте небольшие перерывы,как в школе,между изучением,чтобы избежать переутомления.Не стоит тратить это время на социальные сети,можно перекусить,вздремнуть,дать организму набраться силы.🍁

Надеюсь,вам понравился это пост❤ Пользуясь случаем хочу узнать,кто или что вас вдохновляет? Удачного дня💘
