I made a summary foldable (idea from @studyign) for Spanish 

I’m taking 4th year Spanish next year which I know is basically the same as 3rd year but imagine someone with the attention span of a goldfish and knows a 3rd grade level of Spanish and that was my Spanish teacher last year and on top of that I have the difficult (but actually teaches) teacher this year

Hey there!! I see all these beautiful monthly printables & I absolutely loVE them! I thought I’d try & make a few of my own & here they are!! They’re my first attempt at something like this & I hope they’re okay! Ya’ll can download them from the links (which is the title for each calendar) if you want to ☺️

1. August Printable w/ H2O Tracker: 

A full August month printable

has water tracker for each day (I’m v bad at keeping track of how much water I drink; it’s v little actually, so these water droplet thingies sort of help overcome the prob. They denote the avg # of glasses of water a person should consume/day.)

has last 3 blocks for anything you’d like to keep note of for the month

+ cute (hopefully inspirational) quote above ;)

2. August Printable 

basically the same features as the 1st one (lel) ; a plain monthly printable w/o the H2O tracker for those of you who prefer it that way ^.^

3.Row Wise August Printable

a gridless printable 

can occupy more data

(no quote & note included. if y'all would like that to be added, hmu :] )

I hope this is somewhat helpful! If any of you use this/ find it helpful, do tag me! 😌 I’ll probably update the printables as the months roll by hehe Once again, this is totes not perf as this is my first printable thing, so if anyone has any tips/suggestions/problems, please do let me know!! :)  Hope y'all have a great & productive day!! 🌸

Note: Please do not remove the credits at the bottom of the page. Also, these are only applicable for personal use. Please do abide by the rules if you wish to use them. Thank you!

31/06/2016 [I’ve given up with 100 days of productivity 🙃] I can’t seem to concentrate or get myself motivated at all. I spent all morning sat at my desk stressing and researching an idea I had but I can’t find a way to do it and now I’m just frustrated. Whenever I do any work, it just feels so fucking redundant and when I attempted a past paper it made me feel completely hopeless. I thought this summer I would be able to redeem myself and get out of this dip, but instead I’m in my room at 2:33pm still in my pyjamas giving an illusion of doing work to my family by putting shit everywhere. I can’t think and I just want to be able to do something. My mind is concentrating on too many things at once - things that I can’t solve. Ideas that are so fucking dumb and just sjgishsjwbdoshzjhwhe pls send help and like 7372947822 study motivators who will study with me and like restore my will to live thx

agreed ahhh, read the kite runner omggg (+ also highly rec And the Mountains Echoed oh my heart) 

My new bullet journal, my favorite mug, and a postcard from Japan my aunt sent me. Guys. Check out this beautifully staged photo I took (emphasis on the staged). That placement tho. I feel like not many studyblrs are very good at being honest, so let me just tell you how much I had to open my damn blinds to get that top-notch lighting. Lighting. Is. Everything. Anyway, July is coming to an end and next month means registration and the new school year… pretty anxious, but exciting; I gave myself a lot of pep talks this week. As many of you guys have heard, my main goal was to finish The Kite Runner this week, and let me just tell you- you have to read this freaking book. Like, it pretty much ruined my life, but you have to read it. It was so good. And I don’t give book recs very often, so take this seriously! 

[learnal]

{31/07/16} - hERE IS my august spread!! the goal for this month is to cultivate more self love and be gentle with myself :’) really really hope august will be an easier month, with less trials but more triumphs! i asked a few friends of mine what they thought the theme colour for august should be, and many agreed that it should be a orange/red/pink theme!

the book on the right is ruin and rising by leigh bardugo which i finished yesterday.. it was the last book of an amazing series but i was a bit upset over the ending.. and the book on the left (though u cant really see) is illuminae by amie kaufman! i 100% recommend it! it was a spellbinding book which left me stunned??? i was up till 2 reading it on a school night can you believe smh

anyways guys i hope your august is an AMAZING one wishing you all the best for everything u may do! ((also dont delete the caption not cool ok))

Printable 007: Note-Taking Sheets 1.0

July 29, 2016

School is coming up, or has already started, for many people. I thought it would be a good idea to release a printable for note-taking for those, like me, who dislike regular notebook paper. :)

Features

8.5x11in; regular paper size.

300px per inch; high quality.

Three versions: Regular, Hole-punch (which has space for hole-punching), and Cornell.

All three have two kinds of headers: Regular and Small.

Both kinds of headers have a large box to the left to put the title, and a small box to the right where you can put your name, the date, the class period, etc.

All three have a “back page” with no header. Hole-punch also has a front page with-no-header and a back page for double-sided printing.

All three have two line-color options: Light (grey) and Dark (grey).

*Only Regular and Hole-punch have a grid version in Light and Dark.

PDFs are available to print double-sided. (Header & Back, Small Header & Back, and Back & Back. Hole-punch also has Front with-no-header & Back.)

PNGs are also available, just in case!

i was inspired by @etudiance‘s  5 top tips on maths post (here) - and like it was such a neat idea?? so i kinda wanna do a ‘5 top tips’ series thing of posts!! as an alternative to making masterposts as 5 top tips is a bit more personal + links in m/p tend to be a bit erratic :) 

potential things i could cover in this ‘series’?? : as/a levels, gcses, habits, stationery (?), back to school, my revision strategies, etc. 

so lmk if you guys have any ideas for things you would want me to do the posts on?! ily and have a lovely day! 🐝
