20/11/2016 || My first post in the studyblr community! This is what my desk currently looks like. There is less than two months until my exams start, so it’s time to get serious! Have a nice day everyone!

types of study breaks for every situation

if you realize you’ve been studying for hours: grab a snack to refuel your body and watch a sitcom to refuel your brain. then back to the books.

if you’re feeling stressed out: take some deep breaths, text your friends, maybe stare at a wall for a few minutes. gather yourself.

if you can’t seem to focus: get moving and get outside. take out the garbage, check your mail box, maybe walk your dog. just get moving and get fresh air. it’ll help bring you back.

if there’s something else going on in your life and you can’t get it off your mind: write down what’s going through your head, sort of like a diary entry. it’ll help you work things out.

if you’re just mentally and physically exhausted: set a timer for 25-30 minutes and take a nap. any longer and you’ll hit REM and you’ll wake up feeling just as tired. once you wake up, get some caffeine in you.

if the material is boring as hell: find another way to study. see if there’s a crash course video online about it or draw out what you’re trying to learn in diagrams and pictures to make it fun.

if people around you won’t shut up: listen to some music. soundtrack and classical music is always good because they won’t absorb you as much as music with lyrics. white noise (like ocean waves, rain sounds, etc.) also works.

if you only half understand a concept: call/message a friend who’s not in the class and try to teach the material to them. this will help you mentally work through the material and will help you remember it as well.

January 1st

New Years resolutions? 

We’ve all probably had years worth of thinking them, making them and then breaking them midway through January. However, the creation of this studyblr will *hopefully* help me not only stick to mine, but to thrive. 

Last year I started what some would say to be the biggest shakeup of a teenagers life - university. Having to move out, meet new people from all over the country - well the world actually and live independently, even having to buy my own groceries. With this newfound responsibility I have also realised that I need to actually start working hard if I want to get where I want to get in life - yes I realised that, that doesn't really make sense, or does it? But my point is, last semester I did next to no work, messed about quite a lot and didn't even attend half of my lectures. All of these need to change, hence this brand new studyblr to try and keep me focussed ... hopefully. 

I aim to post of mixture of typical *blog/journal* entries like this and also pictures and reblogs of studying and layouts ect. 

In case you haven't realised, I study Biomedical science which means that even with *what I think* to be quite a scientific mind, my English; especially my grammar IS TERRIBLE - look I even tried to use a semi-colon there even though I am 99% that is not how it’s meant to be used. My point is please be nice to me and ignore all my ignorant grammar mistakes.

Finally, another reason why I created this wonderful blog was to be able to get the chance to interact with lots and lots of new people so pleaseeee again be nice and feel free to send me a message, comment or whatever the people of Tumblr do? (which I’ll hopefully find out soon enough!)
