rip co-2021

hey everyone so you might have noticed we haven’t been active lately :( our mods are all very busy and we don’t really have the time to manage the blog anymore. we’re so sorry but we’re going to be putting this blog on a bit of a hiatus because we don’t want to disappoint any prospective members. if you want, feel free to join our discord server, but again i’m afraid that’s pretty much dead as well. again, so sorry for this and if you would like, there’s another class of 2021 network @co2021 that you can join.

hello, we are looking for a new admin!

since school year started, it’s been super difficult for us to keep the network updated and be on top of all of your lovely posts. so hence, we are opening up the post for a new admin who is willing to take on the role along with us and lend a helping hand!

requirements for an admin:

should be a studyblr

be someone who brings out original posts on the his/her blog on a regular basis

should have basic knowledge about html coding and about editing tumblr themes

should be willing to spend a couple minutes a day answering messages & asks and to queue up posts from the network tag

and not go dead lmao bc we three admins already are (sad but true)

here’s why you should be an admin!

bc it’s fun! why? bc this is a co-blog run by us three folks and we lowkey forget about it sometimes, and at one point, one admin remembers and yells at the other two to do smth and hey, it’s always hilarious.

jokes aside, it’s a good way to get yourself out in the community bc you get to meet tons & tons of people thru a network!

even tho it might get tiring sometimes, the html practice that you’ll get thru it is gr8 and it won’t surprise me if you end up being a pro coder.

what’s more? you get to interact with our fellow members thru our discord chat, have long winded discussions about the future of our poor network with the admins, and make a lot of new froinds :^)

and that’s it!! if you think you’ll like to join us, send us an ask to this blog (aka @co-2021) with your name, preferred pronouns, and tell us what kind of donuts you like best (jk..or not) and we’ll let you and the network know who’s joining us asap!

and as always, stay strong and conquer life! from, nandini aka @thestudyfeels

[co-2021]

Hello! I would like to request to join this network, if that is all right with all admins. :) I thought it would be nice to join a community that is around my age, and studyblrs are always a pleasure to see! If you'll accept me, I would prefer to be called Gira - I would like to keep my residence private, but I do live in North America. Please have a nice day!

yep! if u’d like, u can join the discord chat (search our blog for the post on how to do that) and tag your posts with #co-2021! we admins are v v busy with school, so we may not reblog immediately, but we definitely queue posts from time to time!

also, we’re no longer adding members to the page because it requires a lot of html editing and we, again, are very busy.

thanks for your interest in the network!

From A Senior to Freshmen: High School Tips | LGBT+

1). Don’t worry about what you look like. Looks aren’t everything and they definitely don’t matter to the right people. If they care what you look like, they aren’t worth it. 2). It’s okay to be shy, awkward or even nervous. Talking in class won’t be the end of you, I promise. You’ll get called on, and it’ll be okay. Don’t stress about it. Other people are just as nervous as you. 3). Seniors aren’t all going to be mean. Some think they’re superior, just ignore them. You can even be friends with seniors. Also you can ask them for help. Don’t be scared. 4). Ignore everyone saying they hate freshmen. Especially the sophomores because they were freshmen about 3 months ago. 5). Join clubs and sports. They can be stressful if you have a lot of homework, but they can help you make friends and try new things. They’re also good for applications and resumes. 6). Don’t be afraid to be yourself. That means coming out if you’re comfortable and ready. If not, that’s okay. I promise there are other kids just like you, they just aren’t out yet. 7). Please study. I promise you it will help you a lot. 8). Don’t stress too much. I know school can be hard on your mental health, but there are always people you can talk to. Counsellors, your parents, friends, even me. I’m always open to giving advice. 9). Don’t be afraid to talk to your teachers when you need help. Their jobs are to help you and it’s extremely important that you get the help that you need. 10). Do not procrastinate, this is super important. I’m speaking from experience. Just, don’t do it. 11). People who act like they’re superior, don’t worry about them. High school ends and they won’t be important, they’ll just be another person trying to make it in the world just like you. 12). If you develop a crush on someone as the same gender as you, I promise you it’s okay. If you start questioning your sexuality and gender identity, it’s normal. Don’t stress. I know I say it a lot but just don’t stress. 13). Lastly, have fun. High school flies by. Don’t waste these four years. I wish I could’ve given myself all of this advice when I was a scared freshman.

I talked about all of that in my recent video on YouTube!!! Make sure to check it out (:

HOW TO WIN AT FRESHMAN YEAR IN COLLEGE Pt 1. (Academics)

Aight here we gooo

Don’t think about when it’s due, think about when you can get it done by. Always try to get work done as soon as you get it, because the information/motivation is a lot more likely to make you productive immediately after. Don’t backward plan and leave things to the last minute.

Research your course. Find out about the electives you have to take, the ideal course load and the progression requirements. Don’t graduate a semester late because you forgot to take one 1000 level English course.

 Make a nice schedule! You’re going to be stuck with this for a year, so definitely invest a couple hours into making a good one. (Separate post on drafting a schedule coming up.)

Try to live on campus, preferably in a traditional dorm set up. Not only does it improve the ‘college experience’ but also really helps with networking. 

Do not invest in a loooot of expensive stationery. I know, I know, ironic to say as a studyblr. But coming out of high school where we all took notes on paper, a huge stationery haul might be obvious. But definitely wait a couple weeks into school to see if you want to stick to paper notes or if you’re more comfortable with the laptop. 

Sit. At. The. Front. Beginning in the first week. Freshman year, it’s super tempting to abuse your freedom and just not show up to class. It is imperative that you put yourself in the field of vision with the teacher, not only to make a good impression but also to hold yourself accountable to actually show up to class, because the professor will probably notice your absence and might discount you a little bit. It also helps with the ‘halo effect’, where you stand out right in the beginning, and that’ll tide you over. 

Don’t just show up to office hours, take your notes/solve a mock paper, and get feedback. Doing this a couple times before the exam will help you put together the perfect rubric for answering just about any style of question. If it’s an essay course, the teacher will often make corrections and even send you helpful resources to improve. 

Create/join a Facebook group for your subject, and exchange notes with people over there. It’s reassuring to know you have a backup if you skip class.

Try to inform your professor before hand if you’re skipping class. This policy might be different for different schools, but telling your professor ahead of time that you won’t be attending, or even just shooting them an email at the time of class might help with making up for lost time, extra credit, and being able to skip with more ease in the future, since the prof thinks you’re serious about this class.

Spend the summer before college chilling, yes (I’ve written a post about it here). But also check this out to make it a little more productive, and learn a few handy day to day skills. 

Pt. 2 about college scheduling will be up tomorrow!

How to Never Fall Behind in Classes

Alternatively titled: How to Use Your Planner or How Organization and Discipline Will Get You Better Grades

This is my full guide on how to use your planner effectively and make sure that you are never missing deadlines or falling behind in classwork and homework. This is definitely more about the university level and works best with a dated planner, rather than a bullet journal. Let’s get started! 

Get all of your syllabi together and write down dates. Go through one class at a time and mark down all of your major tests and assignment due dates. I recommend putting these dates into the monthly and weekly views, and perhaps coming up with a symbol or other indicator that tells you they are of utmost importance. 

Make a weekly schedule of when to complete readings and do a weekly review of notes. Instead of trying to randomly decide when to do these things, assign a date for each task for each class. If you have a tutorial on Tuesday, do the assigned readings for it every Wednesday. I recommend scheduling one to two weekly tasks per day, and to leave a few days open, whether it be weekends or days when you have a lot of classes.

Make a master list of assignments. I find that sometimes, even having due dates in the calendar view isn’t enough, and they can still sneak up on you. The master list will be a good place to double check if you have any deadlines approaching easily. 

In the week or so before a due date, create a checklist of smaller tasks needed to complete the assignment. Set individual due dates for each smaller task by working backwards from the due date. Smaller tasks may include finding sources, making an outline, writing a rough draft, and editing and adding references to create a final copy. Write the smaller tasks into your daily to-do list. 

You can also do this with studying for tests, but the checklist would look slightly different. You could either sort by study method (first do flashcards, then do essay outlines, etc.) or sort by the topics you need to study. 

Stick to the schedule you have made. Obviously, if something comes up and you need to move your to-do list around, do so! But if you aren’t doing anything and you see readings on your list of daily tasks.. do them. Having the plan set out like this makes it easier for you to remain disciplined. 

Why use this method? 

By creating a schedule for repeated weekly tasks like completing readings, you make sure that you can’t repeatedly push off smaller tasks until you are weeks behind. I don’t think it is very reliable to just will yourself to do readings, or to keep up with them without tracking it. 

By writing down all of your due dates, you will never be shocked to find out something is due the night before. You will know and you will be prepared. 

By creating smaller checklists of tasks to complete before a major test or assignment, you will never find yourself in a situation where you have an essay due in a few days and haven’t even started. You will be following a timeline and making sure you don’t have to rush.

I know this system may seem rigorous, but planning is the only way you can keep on top of your workload in university! Falling behind is a lot harder if you are organized and disciplined, and being on top of your workload will help you a lot when it comes to exam times… no cramming and all-nighters if you have been consistent all semester!

tips for high school freshman: 1. i know, i know. this is terrifying. you’re going to be dealing with many huge changes. but change is good. remember that. 2. try not to blend in. i know its easier but you wanna make some friends, right? you probably want to make good relationships with teachers too. stand out. be remembered in the best ways possible. 3. work hard. strive to be the best. stay up late studying, take notes, ask questions, stay after class, do whatever you can to achieve you’re goals. prove to yourself and everyone around you that you are capable of amazing things. 4. participate. speak your thoughts in group discussions. join clubs. play sports. don’t be afraid. you deserve to be noticed and listened to. 5. stay organized. use planners, label everything, color code, make files on your laptop, don’t keep unnecessary tabs open, and make sure you’re not a mess too. 6. try and make friends. i know how difficult its going to be but you’ll need them. talk to the people on your cross country team, talk to the art kids in first period, talk to the weird kid sitting next to you in assembly. just try and make friends. you need people, no matter how much it seems like you don’t. you will not be able to survive this alone. 7. study. make flashcards, copy notes, use quizlet, i dont care just study. your phone can wait an hour or two. 8. make sure your bag is fully stocked. y’know like extra change, deodorant, hand cream, pads, chapstick, etc. you never know what could happen. 9. its okay if you don’t talk to your old friends anymore. you’ll be okay. so will they. but if you ever find yourself needing to talk to someone, don’t hesitate to text them. they will listen. 10. take a warm shower every night. wash your hair twice a week. drink a glass of milk every morning and a glass of water every night. have a cup of tea while studying/doing homework. reward yourself with an episode of your favorite show. self care is important. 11. make sure to read and write daily. prioritize it. 12. don’t be afraid to express yourself. if your school has a strong arts program, use it. paint, sculpt, draw. find inspiration and create. 13. stay focused and don’t stray from your expectations. 14. find ways to stay motivated. decorate your desk, buy cute notebooks, imagine how far you’ll go by doing well in school. 15. mentally make a daily schedule to follow. repetition is comforting. while everything around you is changing faster than you can blink, take comfort in the fact that your morning routine stays the same. 16. school comes first, but try to make time for your friends. both old and new. you deserve to have some fun. but don’t feel bad if you’d rather stay home with a tub of ice-cream and a season of some netflix series. 17. there will be bad days. days when it seems like you can’t get out of bed. days when it seems like stress is the only thing you’re feeling. days when you just want to give up. but you have to fight through it. have a cup of tea. read that old book you love. watch some netflix. take a break. it’ll all be okay. 18. they’ll also be days when you miss your old life with every bone in your body. on these days, text your old friends. maybe schedule to hang out. or maybe look at old pictures and videos and reminece on all the fun times you had together. don’t feel sad for too long. many more joyous memories will be created. 19. time heals everything. when days are gloomy and your heart is a lil heavy, remember that there is nothing that the passage of time cannot fix. 20. try to finish all your homework before dark. open the windows. welcome the fresh air and let the sunlight motivate you. 21. spend time with your family. you only have so much time left with them before college, don’t waste it. put down your phone, and just enjoy their presence.  22. relativity is everything. i know it seems like one thing is the end of the world, but take a moment to zoom out. you’ll realize that some things are not big as they seem. 23. be fearless. take big steps. this is your time.

throughout my freshman year i wrote tips down to help myself. i hope this helps others as well. (via angelic-gal)
