Starting off the school year with a schedule... I’ll erase the pencil and color in my real schedule with different colored pencils later- just wanted to show you all what it looked like!

 I thought I’d “start” my day at 6 am instead of midnight bc that makes more sense with my sleep schedules (I’m never asleep before the neat day “begins”)

This timetable was inspired by Caitlin’s Corner on YouTube. She has awesome student bullet journal ideas!!

me, slamming my hands on the table: JARED where the FUCK are my conspiracy theories

EVAN: “Please don’t get him started he once kept me up until 3 in the morning because he- he had me convinced that- the Berenstein Bears created a split universe, or- something? He always does it when it’s late and I get paranoid, and scared, and-”

JARED: “That’s because you should be scared. We’re all fucked, dude.”

8.13.17 // 2:30pm //guide to school organization

this one was requested by @boglarkat-studyblr, @catharticstudying and @nevermindigotnothin, so i hope you find this useful! i've definitely tried a bunch of different organization methods over my years of schooling, so i know a fair bit about it. this post will include my current organizational system and also some other ones i've tried/thought of and their pros and cons. hopefully there's something in here for everyone! xoxo, m

ps. you do not have to be impeccably organized to be successful. studyblr kind of perpetuates this "i need to have everything planned perfectly and color coded and filed away in this super neat system". not everybody works that way and not everybody needs that in order to achieve their goals. find what works for you.

my organizational system: 

1. notebooks: there are some classes i've taken in college (namely orgo 1+2) where it is super important to go to lecture and take good notes. i used a dedicated notebook for said notes for both these classes.

>>> here is where i reveal that, by a lot of standards, i'm a pretty shitty student. what i mean is, i skipped/didn't pay attention in a fair amount of my classes. i didn't really take notes in my bio or linear algebra or intro engineering classes because my professors posted powerpoints or notes or recorded lectures (or the material was very self explanatory). for these classes, i made study guides to review the material. i'd either use blank paper or whatever fun notebook i had lying around (i used a paperchase notebook for linear). if you'd like to learn more about why i chose to do things this way/my philosophy behind skipping class and prioritizing, shoot me a message or an ask!

2. legal pads. i did most of my math homework on these. i like them because they don't have binding on the side, they're easier to tear pages out of than spirals (my hw was graded) and i have way too many in my house. i also used these for random notes in classes i didn't have a dedicated notebooks for. also great for scratch work (they're a little slimmer and lighter than regular notebooks)

3. binders: so i don't really use these that much. second semester i used a 1-inch binders that didn't leave my room much. it held all of my rewritten notes/study guides for orgo (and some for multi from 1st semester).

>>> the only notes i actually "rewrite" are my orgo ones. i use my spiral notebook paper (because it is better quality than my legal pad and loose paper) and then stick the sheets in the binder. this makes it really easy to flip through and review. i might make a masterpost on how i do this (or did this, my methods for other classes are different) later in the semester, but lmk if you're interested in seeing that!

4. folders. these are what come around with me in place of binders. i usually have 1 catch all folder that holds everything. sometimes i pretend i'm more organized than that and carry another one supposedly dedicated to a subject. the one folder that's actually dedicated would be the folder i used for orgo lab, which i carried lab reports/protocols in. i also had this folder that lived in my room. it held my graded essays/papers from my two writing based class (1st semester spanish + 2nd semester writing).

5. magazine holder. (i think that's what they're called? those things that sit on your desk and hold papers?) i kept my looseleaf paper in one of these and i also filed away old exams and some study materials in here. i had exams from engineering, both math classes, orgo 1+2 as well as some engineering study guides. and some orgo practice problems? i think. this just made it easy to go back and review come midterm. holding on to these things also comes in handy if you have a friend taking the class once you've finished it and they need help.

6. bullet journal. pretty sure you guys all know what this is. my bujo was pretty simple. i had a monthly, expense tracker, and an art challenge each month. for weeklies i had a section for my assignments for the week and the next week. i also wrote down my schedule and some textbook info. pretty simple.

i think that's it for my "system"? idk not really much of a system but there you go. here are some other quick ideas (some of which i used to use).

note-taking/notebook systems (where you write things down)

1. 1 subject notebook system: have a dedicated notebook for each class. 

>>> pros: everything is separate and has it's own place. you can change things out so you're not carrying everything at once

>>> cons: some classes don't need an entire notebook dedicated to them (you're just carrying dead weight). you have to make sure you have the right notebook for your class (don't grab the wrong one. i've done it. it sucks)

2. multisubject notebook system: use one 5-subject notebook for everything (this should be enough subjects for college, you'll have to adapt in hs) or 2 3-subject notebooks.

>>> pros: everything is in one place. don't have to worry if you have the right notebook. fewer number of pages/subject in case you don't need much paper

>>> cons: super heavy. if you only have one class that day, you'll still have to carry 5 classes worth of stuff. the amount of pages/subject is smaller, so if you need to take a lot of notes, you'll probably run out.

3. looseleaf paper: you write the notes on a loose sheet of paper. the end. 

> where do i put it? in a binder/folder (potentially in the prongs)/expanding file

>>> pros: no binding to get in the way. you use as much paper as you need. you can rearrange the order of your notes.

>>> cons: easier to loose if you don't put away immediately. you have to carry a giant stack of paper around (which may fall out of your bag and scatter everywhere)

4. legal pad. you write on a legal pad. (maybe one per class?)

>>> pros: not as loose as looseleaf. no binding. easy tear out (compared to spiral) should you choose to organize the pages in a binder/folder.

>>> cons: can't really write on the back unless you rip the page out. hard to flip through pages if you keep them on the pad.

filing systems (where do things go)

1. one binder. put everything in one binder with dividers for each subject. you could put the notes in here or use a notebook.

>>> pros: all in one place. more secure than folder

>>> cons: heavy af. bulky af. needs hole punching. (can you tell i'm personally not a fan?)

2. multiple binders. use a 1-inch binder per class (or something like that). notes can go in or stay out.

>>> pros: way lighter/slimmer. more secure than folder.

>>> cons: gotta pick the right binder for your class. hole punching.

3. folder/multiple folders/multipocket folder/expanding file. same principles as the last two, just a folder/pocket instead of a binder. using one folder has the pros/cons of one binder, mutiple folders has the pros/cons of multiple binders. additionally:

>>> pros: slimmer than binder. no hole punching.

>>> cons: not as secure. stuff can fall out. can't flip through your materials.

surprise, surprise. i just wrote an essay. again. i hope that this was helpful in some way and, as always, don't hesitate to ask if you want to know more! xoxo, m

exams are coming with no sign of slowing down - my mental health is also suffering a little, but I know that if I look after myself, I will get through this 🌱

[studywithkt]

here's some Latin notes from Conventiculum! I tried editing this in VSCO, what do you all think?

[rivkahstudies]

5.24.2017 5:10 PM: I finished my last day of school today, got to say some tearful goodbyes to good friends, and received the last book I ordered! The natural light of my room after the intense storming we’ve been having is so beautiful even though there’s no trace of the sun. I’m very excited to be free and starting a new chapter (wink) of my life. I am now officially a high school senior, and I have so much ahead of me. However, for the time being, I’m going to savor my last high school summer and try to balance relaxation and productivity. I already partially succeeded, since I had a big brunch and a nice 3 hour nap! Now, however, I’m going to work on my Spanish, do a bit of cleaning, and start on my gigantic reading list :) For those of you still in exams, I wish you luck, and for those of you finishing up like me, I hope you have fun things planned!

Even though I’m on summer break, never be afraid to message me for chatting, studying, or advice xoxo love you darlings

24 (W). At what part of the day do you usually study?

Afternoon and evening because of school. Now that I’m out of school, however, that will probably vary significantly and I may due more morning studying. I’m going to try not to wreck my sleep schedule, and instead get up in the early morning so I can exercise before it’s hot.
