ya girl is back with a feb spread! i am honestly very happy with it i love the colors ahhhh

[studying-icedtea-blog]

since my last masterpost on mind maps was successful i thought i’d make a masterpost about general studying! this way i get to share with you guys what i’ve found out over the years with my personal experience! 

your study space

the space you choose to study is really important! it can be in your bedroom, another place in ur house, library, cafe, a park, etc

it should be somewhere u can focus + concentrate without distractions

have more than one place to pick from in case u ever need to change a little or can’t use one

lighting is really important. good natural lighting is always best; try to find a place where the light comes from your left if you’re a righty or from the right if you’re a lefty – you’ll thank me when ur writing and u can see everything perfectly

if ur in ur room, figure out whether having motivational quotes/pics on your walls help u or distract u – for me, i like to have a couple but not many, and mostly motivational quotes + sticky notes with the stuff i need to get done

keep it organised! u can use drawers to keep ur suplies so that they aren’t all laying around when ur studying if u don’t need them

lay out everything u need when ur about to start studying so that u don’t have to get up to get this or that all the time

study methods

it’s great to try out many different ones!

you’ll always have a couple u prefer but don’t be afraid to experiment

flashcards are awesome for memorizing + testing yourself! here are some tips for making them by @tbhstudying

here’s a great alternative for flashcards by @studyign!

mind maps are great for linking information + understanding + condensing. here’s a link to my masterpost!

rewriting notes is an awesome way to revise! 

when u rewrite ur notes, u can color code them + add lil drawings + diagrams, make them more visual overall

great masterpost on visual/aesthetically pleasing notes by @areistotle

if they’re available, always try to find old exams and take them to practice! u can take them under exam conditions or not, whatever helps u the most

background music

first of all, u need to figure out whether u work better with or without background music, because it may end up distacting u

if u don’t want music but still need background noise, u can listen to white noise or ambient noise!

classical music is awesome; studies have shown that it benefits the brain, sleep patterns + stress levels

u can listen from playlists on 8tracks, spotify or youtube vids [i prefer 8tracks]

check out my #music tag for great playlists + masterposts!!

pomodoro method

you’ve probably heard of it all over the studyblr community and that’s because it’s awesome

here’s a link to the official site!

it’s great for helping u focus; i work better like this because i couldn’t study for an hour straight if my life depended on it, + i still get everything done!

however, don’t adapt yourself to the times it sets for u but the other way around – if you’re working and the 25 minutes are done but u still feel like u can continue, you’re motivated and focused, go on! 

don’t know what to do in those breaks? here’s the list for u!

i use forest to time myself! it’s great cause it also keeps u from checking ur phone. focusnow is a free alternative for ios

general tips

start revising early, even if u know u can cram and get good results. i used to do the last thing and even though i got really good grades i was always super stressed the day before and it made studying suck even more

avoid checking social media while studying, even tumblr for “motivation”, because you’ll inevitably get sucked into it

form a study group or find a study buddy because they’ll help u focus, u can explain to each other when u don’t understand something, etc

know everything u need to get done and prioritize

make ur notes pretty only if u have the time + it helps u

if u don’t have the time to make ur notes pretty but are a visual learner, grab a highlighter and colour code them – e.g. green for terms, yellow for definitions, pink for dates/people

figure out whether u work best in the morning, afternoon or evening. try not to study at night unless necessary + get good rest bc it helps ur brain work better

Dropped off the face of tumblr for a while but I’m back! Just finished the first week of my last semester at uni! Graduation is becoming more real and bittersweet by the day.

Last semester ended on a poor note. It’s been a really tough few months and I definitely bit off more than I could chew last semester. But now I’m back and trying to keep a fresh outlook on enjoying my last semester. And hopefully post more :)

Reblog if no matter if you have 50,000 or 50 followers, you appreciate every single one. Reblog if you appreciate the messages you get, whether it's 100 or 1. Reblog if a little smile comes across your face everytime you see a new follower or message. Reblog if even though most of us aren't tumblr famous, we appreciate the little things.

failure is a bruise, not a tattoo✨

I hate winters so much because of the lack of daylight! It literally makes me so sleepy and unmotivated😒 but here’s las week’s spread I’m quite happy about! I really love the color scheme, it’s so warm and cozy💫 exactly what I’ve been lacking recently

[studying-icedtea-blog]

Announcement: I won’t be as active here anymore, I’m too busy to maintain my studies, run tumblr, and run instagram all together because it is too time consuming. One has to go and I’ve worked a lot harder on IG so I will be going semi-hiatus (but not even that much) on tumblr.

Hope you guys understand <3
