Education Survey for High Schoolers

Hi everyone! Really sorry I haven’t updated in a long time - I recently graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering and have since started my Master’s degree! 

I’m hoping that I can get back into this blog and do a fresh start this semester with all you lovely people <3

In the meantime, would any of my high-school followers be able to help me out by filling out this anonymous Google survey? (https://goo.gl/ZschKL) 

I’m working on a research team that’s seeking feedback from high school students to better understand how to help students in high school with various challenges that they face, with the end goal of making it easier for students to enhance their academic performance.

I’d really appreciate it if you guys could help me out!! :)

Welcome new followers!

I can’t believe that my blog reached over 500 while I haven’t posted anything in almost three months. I’m so excited to have you all here! Hopefully this week I’ll be able to get back into posting more often - this semester has been super busy for me, since I’m graduating and I’m juggling like four extracurriculars LOL (cries).

How to Design a PCB Layout

How to Design a PCB Layout - http://wp.me/p5wC7n-1LEJ

Breadboards are great for prototyping circuits, but they aren’t so good for actually using the thing you’re building. At some point, you’ll probably want to make a project more permanent. The best way to do that is to put it on a PCB. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you t…

Arduino Calculator using 4x4 Keypad

In this tutorial we will build our own calculator with Arduino. The values can be sent in through a keypad (4×4 keypad) and result can be viewed on a LCD screen (16×2 Dot-matrix). This calculator could perform simple operations like Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division with whole numbers. But once you understand the concept you can implement even scientific functions with Arduino’s built in functions

I know this post is a few days old, but I had to come back and chime in on what @studylustre said.

It is absolutely normal to be afraid of the future! No matter whether you’re in high school, university, or beyond. People are uncomfortable with the unknown, and honestly the future is something that’s very hard to predict. A lot of the studyblrs here have great pictures and some have perfect grades and 10 year career plans (which might not always pan out - time is a strange thing), but if you really look around and dive deep, so many students are struggling to achieve success - you’re definitely not alone!

For me personally, I had a long, arduous trudge to get to where I am now in university, and I have such a long way to improve still. I’m graduating this May, and hopefully will be attending grad school in the Fall at one of my top universities - but I have NO IDEA if I’ve even been accepted or whether my hopes and dreams will fall apart in a month from now, in the event that every school I applied to rejects me. Not knowing what the future holds is definitely terrifying. I get it. I really do.

My first semester of university, my GPA was a 1.66. Now, after years of hard work and discipline, I dragged that number up to a 3.01. However, that number doesn’t define me, anymore than it defines you. Think about everything else you’ve accomplished, whether it’s joining a sports club to practicing art or learning new skills in areas that you’re interested in. In my case, I joined a research team and have presented at 5 conferences in three years, and have 2 published papers. Just this morning, I submitted an abstract to one more conference. In addition, I’m in a leadership position for two student organizations.

Just because we’re studyblrs doesn’t mean we ought to neglect everything else. I won’t lie, having a low GPA can hurt your future career options, but it’s not an insurmountable problem, especially if you can take your extracurriculars and make them into your strengths. Despite what I may have made it seem like, you don’t need to be in leadership positions and doing research to be a successful student. You can pursue your own projects, like art or programming or sports too. Grades are important, but so is being a well-rounded, personable student! Having a career plan is awesome, but there’s always the chance it might not work out or you might decide you like something else better - there’s a limit to the number of contingency plans a person can make.

I rambled a bit, but what I’m really trying to say is don’t worry about it! We all have our strengths and weaknesses, and the real trick to life is to find out what you’re good at and run with it. It’s okay if that isn’t academics.

Do you ever feel inadequate with all of these seemingly perfect studyblrs around? I was all excited to be part of the community but I keep comparing myself and can't seem to stop. Like does everyone have a 4.0 GPA and a perfectly planned career path? My future is terrifying me rn (sorry for the weird message, just feeling kind of alone)

no, because i know social media only shows the highlight reel of people’s lives. yes, everything may look amazing and immaculate but you never know what’s going on behind the camera lens outside of those perfectly lit shots. i don’t tend to feel inadequate bc i know that everyone struggles with the same things - everyone goes through exam stress, procrastination etc (and as a university aged studyblr i can vouch for this). also, just because someone has a studyblr, it doesn’t mean they’re automatically a straight a* student with their future perfectly planned!! most studyblrs are just high school students trying to figure it out and motivate themselves (and others) to work hard and do their best. some studyblrs/blogs in general may have everything planned out but that’s not the case for most people, so don’t compare yourself to others bc there really is no need. everyone is facing the same struggles and going through the same processes
