📚 It girl's guide to school 📚
hiii girls! this is part of the big Guide to being the It Girl. this section will be all about school, studying and academics. i'll teach you how to tackle school, get the highest grades effortlessly, and look chic and gorgeous doing it! the rest of the ultimate it girl series is linked! 🎀
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
guide to getting good grades:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LISTEN IN CLASS. one of the best tips ever. if you would actually listen to what your teachers teaching in class, you’d get to spend a lot less time studying.
ask if you need help! these teachers are qualified for the job, they’re meant to be good at it. so if you don’t understand something, don’t be afraid to ask. and if you’re really too much of a chicken, ask once the class is over or email the teacher. but honestly? half the kids probably aren’t even listening tbh so u do ur thing!
participate in class. actually participating in class will help you so much in recalling the information. it’s a great way to actively revise. you don’t have to be a teachers pet or anything, but if you know the answer, put yourself out there. anyone who judges you simply judges themselves and their inability to speak up.
change up your environment so that you're still interested and excited to learn! you could go to a coffee shop, set up a mini picnic in the woods, go to a library, etc.
use alter egos!! i will never stop recommending this because it really is an amazing tip. either you can create your own alter ego who loves to study and gets high grades, or you could pretend you're rory gilmore or hermione granger!
Tumblr media
revision/ study techniques:
feynman technique: teach it to someone else/ to plushies. try not to look at your notes too much, pretend ur a teacher.
use practice questions/ practice exams! trust me this can be so helpful! try and find past exams and go over them in exam conditions so you can see what u missed later. or, you can get all the info and ask an AI like chatgpt to write questions based on it and go through them!
BLURTING! love this method! basically, you write all the information you know about the topic on one page (optional: set a time limit) and then go over it with a different colour pen and add in what you missed. do this a couple times until you haven't missed anything! - you can do this by creating a mind-map, or literally just scribbling down everything you know.
SQ3R method: survey/ skim over the text, question- make questions on it, read- begin reading to find the answers to the questions, recite- summarise the words in a section in your own words, review- quiz yourself on what you just learnt
organise/ prioritise what you need to study using the traffic light method. first, identify the topics, then highlight them according to these 3 colors: red- struggling a lot/ no idea , yellow- okay ish, need to work on it a bit tho , green- good understanding & confident on the topic.
make associations. this is especially helpful for when you need to memorise things. the thing you need to memorise- link it to stuff that you already know.
⭐️ use mnemonics, songs, raps to remember! a couple years back, my science teacher made us create a rap on osmosis (a biology term). and not even kidding, i still remember the simple definition of what it does because of that rap! so create songs or rap and maybe even make a whole music video on it! trust me, not only is it so fun but it really does help keep the information in your mind!

adhd study tips.
by a stem student with adhd.
disclaimer!!! I’m by no means an expert in mental health or adhd but I do happen to have it. My intention with this post is to help others with adhd get more comfortable with studying so the process will be smoother for them!! At the end of the day, despite having the same disorder our brains will still work differently so do keep in mind that these may or may not help you, but are something you can try out if you’re stuck on not being able to study efficiently.
here’s some adhd study affirmations + tips on straying from discouragement if you’re experiencing burnout.
(And here’s part 2 of adhd study tips.)
I’ll start this off by listing more commonly known study tips that also work well with adhd.
change up your environment every now and then. we seek novelty even more than neurotypical people already do so switching it up will definitely help in our studies, especially if the place is well lit!
try some questions of the topic you’re trying to learn even when you know nothing about it. both neurotypical and neurodivergent brains are hardwired to remember things when we are proven wrong, and this is a great way of utilizing this neurological response!
take walks, exercise or stretch during your breaks. this tip is very effective at satiating our hyperactivity and also keeps us energized throughout our study session.
keep a notebook for your brain dump / ideas. we always either think of really stupid things or the most brilliant ideas in the middle of our study sessions and it almost always leads to distraction, but writing it down somewhere lets your brain know that the idea isn’t going anywhere and you can continue studying.
now, onto the tips that have personally helped with my adhd (and I haven’t seen many others talk about.)
alternate between various study plans, routines, schedules and techniques and always be open to finding more of them. majority of the time people always say ‘have a routine that works for you and stick with it’ but our adhd brains get bored very quickly, especially when it comes to repeated routines and schedules. I personally never stick to the same routine or plan more than three days in a row and sometimes I even make a plan on the spot and I’ve been more productive doing that than when I had only one or two study routines to switch between.
do not time yourself at the very beginning. Instead, focus on something in your studies you’re interested in and start there. what do I mean by this? well, since starting is always the hardest, when we begin our very first pomodoro we might find ourselves spending the first 25 minutes zoning out on a textbook just to get that ‘study time’ in even though you didn’t actually learn or recall anything. So to combat this, begin with something you’re genuinely curious about, or ask a question you can’t help but wonder the answer to. Once you find the answer, you might find you’re more in the zone and can continue from there. If not, take a short break and begin the pomodoros afterwards.
if you’re zoning out while reading up on a topic, try walking around while reading, looking at different sources on it or do some questions on that topic. again, novelty always gets us every time. sometimes the problem may be that the explanation in front of you isn’t making sense in your head and other sources may phrase things in a way that is better for your understanding. perhaps the problem is that you’re staying too still and you need to satisfy the hyperactive part of your adhd. or maybe your brain subconsciously believes that they already know what needs to be known about this topic, and there’s no better way to test that by trying out some questions on it.
switch between lyrical and non-lyrical music playlists, but make sure the lyrical music inspires you to excel. this definitely won’t apply to a lot of people but I found that when I constantly listened to piano, lo-fi or just non-lyrical music while studying in general, it actually promoted my likelihood of zoning out. but recently I found a playlist I deeply resonated with that was related to my studies called, ‘pov : a try-hard mid student who wants to ace everything’ and because I related very deeply with both the title and the lyrics of the songs, I was actively being encouraged to study as I was studying. but I also recognize when I really need to think in certain areas and that’s when I switch back to the non-lyrical music.
this is all I have as of right now but please do lmk if you guys want more of these!! I really wanna help out as much people as possible because my studies suffered greatly due to both my adhd and my late diagnosis of it and I’d love to help out others going through something similar.

How to study like Rory Gilmore 💗
Rory Gilmore is known for being an academic it girl, these are some habits Rory uses to achieve good grades
Tumblr media
💗start your homework/assignments as soon as you get them - in an episode Rory said how she completes her assignments on Friday so she can spend time on Saturday doing extra credit, this shows how Rory does not procrastinate over her assignments, instead she tackles them first so she wont fall behind
💗make use of flashcards - Rory is seen throughout different episodes using flashcards, this is a form of active recall recall which helps her memorise information
💗pay attention in class - Rory does not daydream or get distracted during lessons, instead she is always seen paying attention to the teachers and taking notes
💗ask questions in class - do not feel embarrassed to raise your hand up in lessons even if you feel like you should already know the answer to your question, do not risk your grade by being anxious to raise your hands in class, Rory never felt embarrassed asking questions, so you shouldnt as well !
💗do not let a bad grade hold you back - Rory once got a D in one of her exams, she did feel sad about it however she didnt give up, instead she used this bad grade as an opportunity to find her weakness and improve
thank you for reading, I hope this helps <3

january 15th, 2024
which is cooler, the mcgill application being completed or the giant octopus?
I wanna talk more about graduate school… about how, even though I’m applying for something monumental there’s a lot of conflict surrounding it that I’ve been trying to ignore. Mostly that there are some people that don’t see it as a big achievement, or as monumental, unless it’s done their way. I dunno, I’ll get into more detail on it in my next post. But, even though I’m proud of myself I feel like I’m disappointing a lot of people, and I’m carrying a lot of weight on it. It’ll be nice to let some of that go, but it’s tough right now. Just trying to keep my head up, okay? You keep your head up too, okay?
🎧: hey pretty momma — rainbow kitten surprise
🎥: zodiac (rewatch)
🎮: ace attorney investigations: miles edgeworth (turnabout reminiscence) ALSO I haven’t forgotten that @inseparabiles asked me to talk more about my thoughts on this game. Maybe that’ll be my next post instead and we procrastinate talking about the hard stuff?

Shoujo Specifics: Haruhi Fujioka
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Where’s my host club
tips start here:
Studying
Haruhi’s main hobby is studying. I mean, it’s what got her into Ouran High! Even if you’re not aiming to get into a luxury school, it is always a good idea to study hard so you can accomplish your dreams.
Join clubs!
Ok, technically Haruhi isn’t in a club by choice, but she does enjoy herself at the host club. Not only is it a great way to make friends, but also enrich your life! So pick a club and have a good time!!
Watch how much you spend
Being a ‘commoner’, Haruhi tries not to spend much money on things she doesn’t need. Although it’s ok to buy yourself something every once in a while, try not to excessively buy things you don’t actually need. When buying something, question how much you’ll get out the item.
Believe in yourself
Haruhi pretty much always believes in herself. She has no doubt when it comes to whether things will be ok or not! One easy way I’ve been able to believe in myself is affirmations. Things like “the universe works in my favor” and whatnot
Eye contact
Haruhi canonically has very good eye contact! Now this is one I really struggle with, but with time and practice, it’ll gradually become more comfortable and natural.
take care of yourself and your home
In her spare time, Haruhi does all of the housework. To take after this try learning some healthy food recipes, set up a cleaning routine, and helping out around the house if you don’t live alone.
(P.S. if you’d like to see me doing any other Shoujo girls, tell me which ones and I’ll see what I can do!)

how to deal with stage fright ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
a non-basic comprehensive guide, by an easily-scared girlie
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. Before
don't eat too much. I get very scared and nervous before I have to do anything in front of a group of more than 3 people. I mean very scared. As in my stomach starts hurting. if you're like me, then eating a bit lighter beforehand can save you the stress when you stomach starts hurting (and the stress making you feel worse)
manifest success. close your eyes. imagine yourself finishing the thing that you've been so worried about. envision yourself doing the greatest job, and it will happen.
say "i'm excited". our brains are more powerful than you think (ha! get it? okay, that was lame). since fear/anxiety and excitement feel very similar, try to gaslight yourself into thinking that you're just very excited to do it.
2. During
set your mindset (again). before I perform, I try to remind myself the beginning of whatever I'm doing. for example, if I'm playing a piece, I will hum the first few measures, just so I remember. or the first few words of my speech. once you start, your body will know what to do!
pretend to slay. you know what? even if you mess up, nobody knows! nobody know the piece you're playing, or the song you're singing, or the speech you're giving. keep your head high and pretend that you've completely outdone yourself. once you believe that about yourself, other people will often follow.
stay in the moment. if you're anything like me, you may tend to think to the past or the future while you're performing. something like this: future: I'm going to mess up and say something totally embarrassing. past: last time I gave this speech in front of my Mom and I freaked out and forgot this part! future: you're going to forget it again. and that will be totally humiliating! instead, just keep telling yourself to stay where you are, in the present! you're just playing your song at the moment. you're just talking to other people at the moment. you're just sharing what you've learned. the past has gone by, and the future has its own worries.
3. After
don't freak out. what's done is done.
congratulate yourself. you did it! the hardest part of the process is over. you did an amazing job. showing up is enough. performing is enough. doing anything at all is enough, if not more than enough. you're a winner because you did it.
⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。⋆⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。⋆⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。⋆⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。⋆⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。
a reminder to all the lovely people on the internet: it's completely normal to be scared. even my favorite pianist for many years, yuja wang, gets terrible stage fright before she performs. now, though, you'll be equipped with some tips on how to perform despite the fears that you have. I'm going to end off this post with one of my favorite quotes:
True courage is in facing danger when you are afraid.
-- L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
thank you for reading all the way through, and wishing you a blessed rest of your day <3
sincerely yours, q's playlist

✨ Not rendered vs. Rendered Art! ✨
One of my friends asked me, what's rendering? Since we're both in the art sphere, I made these two pictures to show what rendering is :)
In digital art, and in traditional art, "rendering" means "refining" something. You draw over things, blend things, correct things, introduce new shapes/colors to correct something, smooth stuff, and go deep into detail, all to make your piece look 3D, realistic, or simply better 😂
( Some artists prefer not to render! Depending on the style, it can be completely unnecessary :3 )
Rendering in illustration is often overlooked, especially if you didn't see the drawing beforehand. The initial stage of a drawing is rough & basic. You can see my lines, the shapes I was using, and the colors are not quite right. Many speedpaints may also not start redering until they have a value drawing, with varying grey unrefined shapes.
During rendering (one of the most lengthy art processes out there) you can smooth things, erase lines, correct shadows, correct lights, adjust colors, etc. The options are limitless, but basically, you're trying to get your bare-bones drawing to look finalized while correcting mistakes. My parrot looks more 3D and smooth because I rendered it (slightly). It's mostly line-less, adjusted, and shaped slightly different in some places. To do this, I had to go over every piece of the drawing ^^;
I hope this explanation makes sense! 💖
( Honorable mention for 3D animators: "rendering" is the stage of exporting the finished animation with models, added effects, calculated light + shadows into a final .mp4 file by the program. It can take hours! 🥰 the output is usually very polished tho, so... it's worth it? )
