hello everyone!

I am back from such a long hiatus. I last used this blog in basically 2017, which was my last year of high school. I’m now a year out of finishing a degree in film, and work full time in an office. I am changing the focus of this blog to be about self-improvement and self-teaching, and I hope to pursue writing and learning languages as well as improving my life overall and possibly furthering my career. 

I missed you all!! this will basically be a self-improvement blog w a lil bit of an aesthetic to it - feel free to unfollow if that’s not your thing.

attention studyblr folks:

bullet journals aren’t for everyone

you don’t need a fancy bujo spread every week to be a studyblr

you can use a normal planner and still be a studyblr

you can use cheap bic pens and still be a studyblr

you can never buy a muji pen or mildliner and still be a studyblr

you can have a computer that isn’t a macbook and still be a studyblr? like what is this apple worshipping cult?

you can type all your notes and still be a studyblr

you don’t have to take honors/ap/ib classes to be a studyblr

you don’t have to go to a 4 year college to be a studyblr

nontraditional students are beautiful and valid and you are working so damn hard

learn your own way. don’t let others get you down.

It’s essay writing season for tons of students!

After being a college writing tutor for over a year, I thought I would share my advice with all you awesome people on tumblr. This is how I write essays, but if you’ve got more tips, feel free to add them below. 

Happy writing. You can do it!

MY study tips!!!

I think it’s time to share with you what I actually do when I study. Here’s a list (non-exhaustive) of the main tools I use before an exam. Enjoy! 

I read my notes consciously, then I hide them and try to write down everything I remember. Then I’ll take my notes again, and look for what’s missing. Not only it permits me to see what I still don’t know, but it also consolidates what I already know. This one really works if you have to learn pathways, key concepts, etc. Re-write as it comes to your mind, make a mind-map, use arrows, etc.

Once I identified what I don’t know, I’ll just put a mark on my notes, so I know that this specific part needs to be more reviewed.

When I feel overwhelmed by all the stuff I have to review, I’ll just divide it into sections and create a study plan! 99% of the time, this makes me realize that it’s not that terrible and I can get through this! I feel much better then!

The Forest App. I don’t use it systematically but it really helps me keeping distractions away (AKA my phone) and in the end, I can have a little peek view of my study session!

Whenever I’m reading something important that I know I won’t automatically remember, I write it down on a piece of paper. Indeed, I always use a bloc-notes when studying, so I just write down important points. By doing this, I become more active when learning and actually remember better! And sometimes I keep those pieces of paper so I can re-read them just before the exam.

I try to stick to a memorization routine. For example, if it’s the first time I read a specific topic that I have to memorize, I’ll re-read it 3 days after, then again a week after, then 10 days after, etc. This is the best way to memorize: « repetitio est mater studiorum » as my anatomy teacher says.

When reading your notes, always try to think about what could be the possible questions that are “exam askable”.

If you have any specific topics to learn about the same main subject, try to summarize each topic on only one paper sheet. It’s been proven that we tend to memorize more when we see the information only on one paper than many. For example, I’m currently preparing my microbiology exam, so I did a sheet for each virus or bacteria and put them in plastic sleeves and store them in a binder. By doing this, I’ll be able to re-read them all the days before the exam and retain the most important information! 

The textbook is cool, but sometimes I’m in a rush and summaries made from previous years students will do the job. Of course, I make sure there’re no mistakes inside. And it can actually help with difficult subjects. 

I only use flash cards for vocabulary (my dear Spanish!) or pharmacology. They are the PERFECT way to memorize some things by heart!

I multitask intelligently. For example, when I workout I listen to audiobooks or watch medical-related videos on youtube while walking on the treadmill 

I test myself. I take online quizzes, I ask some friends or my boyfriend to interrogate me so I train my brain to see the problems differently and learn more!

go with what works for you. the way one person does it may not be the right fit for you. their way or anyone else’s way is no more right than yours. so, just go for it, with all your heart and with your own personal style and flair, and you’ll do beautifully
