Back to school tips🌹

Alright y'all, with school season comin back, here are some prime hoe tips to get y'all ready to slay.

🌹1. Develop a skincare regimen at least once daily: wash, exfoliate*, mask*, toner, essential oils, moisturize. *once weekly, to avoid overshocking your skin. 🌙2.Tea tree oil is bomb for acne and acne scars. Apply that shit.

🌹 Coconut oil and castor oil for brow/lash growth every night.

🌙Go through your closet, and toss clothes you don’t wear. Invest in more neutral colors and fits to configure a wider variety of cute ass outfits.

🌹 Don’t be afraid to thrift shop; places like TJ Maxx and The Goodwill have bomb ass brands for cheap.

🌙 Get your books/supplies ready a week before. Prepare yourself.

🌹 Have all of your test dates/assignment due dates in your phone before classes start. Make sure to request off days of work the nights before major assignments and exams if you can help it.

🌙 Things to keep in a bag in your locker: pads/tampons, an extra pair of panties, a spare change of clothes & shoes(in case of a wardrobe malfunction), hairbrush and hairtie, nail file & clippers, makeup remover wipes, concealer, masacara, gum, water bottle, extra pens, some spare cash, phone charger, and earbuds.

🌹 Keep a water bottle in ya bag at all times. A hoes gotta be hydrated.

🌙 Keep up with ya studies

🌹 A week before school starts, develop getting sleep schedule for school by going to bed half an hour earlier every night. This’ll make waking up earlier less of a hell, trust me.

🌙Have a go-to makeup look for school that takes 30 mins or less as a default, if you beat your face in the morning.

🌹 Replace coffee with tea for a more healthy caffeine fix before class.

🌙 Prepare yourself a decent breakfast before you go to bed, so you can easily grab and go in the morning. Breakfast kickstarts your metabolism and decreases cravings throughout the day, and generally boosts your mood and brain power.

🌹If you wear a uniform, make sure that shit is comfortable and actually fits you. Make sure nothing hangs off of you, cuts off circulation, itches, irritates, etc.

🌙Need a break from studying? Work out. Burn some calories, clear your mind, and stimulate your brain with some exercise. Swear to god this keeps my grades up and my body lookin fly.

🌹Invest in a hair mask (any pharmacy or makeup outlet will have them), or make one yourself. They make your hair super soft and shiny for flipping it when you walk past that group of girls who hate you lol

Thats all I can think of for now beauties, get good grades, I believe in all of y'all✨🌹

Tea + coding. I’ve been asked why I’m learning java. After I graduated I started another degree, this one on multimedia design, and we learn java for multimedia installations and basic interactive games, and html and css for web programming.

8.18.17+10:25am // slowly getting back to journaling! this spread was fun to do because of all the washi tape i ended up using. good luck on the upcoming semester, everyone! credit: @kuvshinov-ilya/post

[study-rosie-blog]

school starts for me in a little over a week so i thought i’d make a quick back to school masterpost! this is a compilation of tips that i found helpful from youtube study channels, as well as things that i’ve personally done to make school easier. 

do your best work as soon as school starts

usually the first week(s) of school have a relatively light homework load, but don’t slack off!

this is the time to put in the most effort

you’ll be able to see which subjects you want to spend more or less time on throughout the semester

also, if you turn in great work, participate in class, and go to office hours right from the start, you’re going to keep up those good habits as the school year continues

plus, you’ll leave a fantastic impression on your teachers :)

use! a! planner!

cliché? yes, but it works

planners are a great tool to organize so many different aspects of your life, not just school

write down your assignments as soon as you get them so that you won’t forget anything, and so that you can plan your day/week accordingly

try to space out your assignments if you can so that you don’t spend all of your time on just one subject

describe your tasks. instead of saying “study chemistry” (which will turn into binge-watching youtube), say “practice balancing chemical equations”

planners are also great for setting and keeping track of goals! 

BUT, if planners don’t work for you, use some other way to keep track of your tasks and your time - to do lists, schedules, checklists, bullet journals, etc. choose what works for you!

just make sure that you keep all of your tasks in one place. 

break down larger tasks, such as projects or papers, throughout the week

do a little every day instead of cramming all the work into one night

bonus: try to get your assignments reviewed by someone like a teacher or a classmate before turning them in - most teachers are happy to look at drafts and give suggestions that will improve your work and your grade!

also, for big projects, my procrastinating brain has found it helpful to ‘reset the deadlines’ - work so that you’ll finish your bigger assignments a few days before they’re actually due

a big part of breaking down tasks and planning is also knowing your own study habits

try to figure out how long you spend on certain types of assignments, and know how much time you should allocate to specific tasks

when you have a choice, go for meaningful

for some assignments, such as essays where you can choose your own prompt, it’s easy to choose the easy prompt

but whenever you can, try to go for the prompt that will help you to deepen your understanding of the material you’ve learned

teachers who reuse prompts will probably see a lot of the “same” essays every year, so this is a way to stand out in a positive way!

if you can, declutter

or at least try to clean up your study space for the school year

having a neat space to work can really go a long way

throw out those old pens that have run out of ink and are honestly just there to look pretty

also: invest in good lighting because you gotta take care of those beautiful eyes

find classmates who can be your study buddies

if you know who the “top students” in your class are, seek out their help! get contact info!

if you miss classes or have concepts that you’re having trouble with, you’ll always have someone to ask

i mean you should always feel comfortable with asking your teacher for help, but it’s nice to have someone to quickly proofread your paper or review for a test with

peer tutors are also a great resource!

take the time to establish new habits

maybe come up with a morning/afternoon/night routine so that you know you’ll spend some time every day being productive

and don’t let yourself off the hook here!!

some ideas for habits: hydrating properly every day, working out, getting enough sleep every night, avoiding procrastination, journaling, focusing on one thing at a time / not multitasking, going to office hours consistently, participating in class

be honest with yourself. what are some things you do every day that you might not need to do every day? and what are some things you hope you can add to your daily routine?

speaking of habits, fix that sleep schedule asap

if you want to pay attention in class and turn in good work, you’re going to need enough sleep

i would recommend sleeping early and waking up early over sleeping late - it just feels less awful throughout the day and it shouldn’t do as much damage to your sleep schedule as one all nighter will

get yo priorities straight

learn to say “no” to things that will take up your time but won’t really benefit you

recognize that not everything is important

that being said! take breaks!!

burnout is real my friends

a lot of people say that you should use your downtime to work, and you definitely can if you want to and feel able to

it’s so easy to feel like you have to be studying or working 24/7, and that’s not true

if you feel like you really need a break, take a break

spend time with your family and friends! treat yourself with some ice cream! go for a walk (without your phone)! call someone who lives far away from you to say you miss them!

being productive is great, and even if you’re the kind of person that can handle that much work without burning out, that stress will release itself elsewhere - some harsh words you didn’t mean, some small thing that annoyed you more than it should have

ok that was a lot crammed into one post, but i have one more important point: be excited for school!!! it may be stressful at times (most of the time) but school is a place where we learn things and better ourselves and open our minds to new perspectives! i am personally so psyched for 10th grade and i think having that attitude will make back to school a lot easier :)

i hope some of these tips help you, and as usual feel free to drop me an ask about anything! i’ll be writing more of these “quick tip”-type masterposts for back to school because they’re a looot less time consuming for me to make (being honest here). let me know what you think of this format! and if you have any requests for masterpost topics i’m always open to those.

✋🏽No one is you. That is your power. 🤚🏽

I recently watched the Stroke of Insight TEDTalk in my systems neuro class and am completely amazed at what Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor describes experiencing. Imagine what a superpower “turning off your left brain” and entering a state of just being would be? I highly encourage you all to watch the TEDTalk or read her book, especially any of you interested in neuro as a major/field!

I’m really sorry guys I’m not making pretty notes for anything but physics :/ I’m sure I’ll do notes in other classes, I just haven’t had any lectures yet!

The eclipse was so cool though! It’s kinda funny, it was even more fun to people-watch the 1,000 kids all sitting in my school’s football stadium. Also, I’m starting to worry about waking up blind tomorrow but let’s hope I don’t :p

You need to remember that you’ve managed to get this far in life. You’ve been in situations where you thought you’d never make it out but you did. You lived to tell the tale. You survived another day. You got through it. You learned from your mistakes, you realised where you went wrong, you grew as a person. You made it. So whatever you’re going through now, you’ll get through that too.
