8.22.18

School has finally started again and I’m so excited!!

[positivity-studies]

I was tagged by my good friend @purenerd !!

Rules: Answer these 15 questions and then tag 10 people.

1. What is your degree / favorite subject?

I’m majoring in Information Technology and Informatics (specifically, I’m studying Web Design), minoring in Creative Writing, and getting a certificate in Recording Arts!! My interests are all over the place.

2. Where are you from?

I’m from the United States and I live in the Eastern time zone. That’s as specific as I’m willing to get, sorry!!

3. What motivates you to study?

I’m motivated by the people I look up to, by my friends, and by myself. The people I look up to remind me that it takes hard work to achieve goals and that nothing is easy but anything is possible as long as I work hard. My friends remind me that I can get through whatever seemingly impossible task is in front of me and support me at my worst and my best. I remind myself that I’m finally studying what I love, something I’ve dreamed for a long time, and that there’s so much ahead of me that I can accomplish as long as I keep doing my best and pushing myself out of my comfort zone. And, well, there’s also the fact that I have to keep a pretty high GPA to stay in my program. At the end of the day, though, I love what I’m studying and even though it’s difficult at times, I just remind myself of my goals, that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be right now, and that I should never give up.

4. What do you love about yourself?

I love that I dream really big and that when I care about something, I really care about something. I feel very strongly about what I love, and it’s often that passion that motivates me to get stuff done.

5. What time do you do your best studying?

Anytime from early afternoon to early evening.

6. What is your favorite TV show?

Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place... basically anything Mike Schur writes.

7. Best self-care tip for exam season.

As important as it is to spend a lot of time studying, make sure you also take the time to do something for yourself, whether it be watching a movie you love, hanging out with friends, or taking a nap!! It’ll make exam season much less dreadful and refresh your brain before you study some more. Also, make sure you sleep enough and eat well.

8. Do you listen to music when you study?

Usually, yes. Music is what makes studying and doing homework more fun for me. Most of the time I just put one of my playlists or my whole Spotify library on shuffle, but sometimes I’ll listen to a specific album. There are occasionally times when I’ll get too overwhelmed for music and just need to work in silence, but that doesn’t happen too often. And, of course, when I’m working with friends around, I don’t put headphones in.

9. What is your favorite book?

Oh, gosh. I’m afraid to even try to answer this question!! I guess if I had to narrow it down to a few, I’d choose Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli, the Shades of Magic series by V. E. Schwab, and What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera. Yes, I’ve read it. Yes, it’s perfect. Yes, you should absolutely get it once it comes out.

10. Where do you do your best studying?

Either in the library or in my room.

11. What do you get complimented on often?

I don’t know? Sometimes I get complimented on my handwriting, though it really isn’t that great. My friends tell me I can write well, though I don’t share my writing with other people very often.

12. Where would you like to live in the future?

NEW. YORK. CITY. I’ve spent so much time there over the course of my life, and it really has everything I need: musical theater (and regular theater), concerts, good food, good bookstores, public transportation (I hate driving and would much rather depend on my own two legs and the subway to get around), and more! There are also so many opportunities there for web design, writing, and music production, so I could pursue any and all of those without having to move around. What’s funny is that if you’d asked me this same question a year ago, I would have said Los Angeles. What’s even funnier is that until a few years ago, I HATED going to New York City since I consistently got sick every single time I went. Who knows where I’ll actually end up, but as of now, New York City is the goal.

13. How long have you been active on your studyblr?

I’ve had this blog since March 21, 2016, but I haven’t been the most consistent with posting on it. My goal for this year is to be more active both here and on my new studygram : )

14. Favorite way to spend study breaks?

I love watching TV, writing, reading, and hanging out with my friends.

15. What is your favorite study snack?

I love pretzels and Cheez-Its, though I’m trying to get out of the habit of eating while I’m studying.

I tag: @tiredstudyying, @studybasil, @colbystudies, @studysmiley, @arielsstudies, @studycaffe, @studybutch, @plantsandcoffeestudyblr, @studying-simply, and @adriana-studies.

01.11.17 // Hello November

It’s November at last! Of course, I managed to miss the first day of the #NovemberStudyChallenge, but I wouldn’t be true to myself if I wasn’t late.

I kicked off the new month by going paintballing, which turned out to be a lot of fun, although it’s definitely taking its toll on me in the form of several nasty bruises. It was good to do something fun and active though, so I can settle down to the hard work that November will inevitably throw at me. I’m still getting the hang of taking nice study photos, so hopefully I’ll get plenty of practice over the course of this study challenge!

Also, the beautiful matching wallpapers are by @emmastudies!

Arden’s Tea Time | Vol.I

Today I decided that I would go shopping for a few new tea flavours to try. However, because I have absolutely no impulse control, that "few" I originally had in mind soon turned into seven- seven tea flavours. They were on special, but still!

These new additions to my collection bring my total up to a whopping fourteen- and counting. Because I try so many different teas, I thought it would be fun to document them each into a little mini-series.

Today's tea is: Cardamon, Ginger and Orange!

Initial thoughts: At first glance, this tea looked amazing. It's packaging was lovely, it smelled delicious and just sounded warm and cozy- which is definitely a good thing considering we're going through the rear end of winter right now. After pulling out the sachet the scent really came through, and I could smell it even from the next room while I waited for the jug to boil. The tea turned an enticing, almost caramel-like colour once boiling water was added.

The taste test: On the first sip, the immediate taste on my tongue was of the orange. Subtle yet sweet, it was quickly washed out by a strong ginger flavour. I wouldn’t go so far as to call this “spicy,” but there was definitely a warm aftertaste accompanied by a light touch of cardamon.

Overall: This is the kind of tea I would curl up in bed with while it rained down outside. It’s sweet but not sickly, yet with a small kick to it so it isn’t overbearing to your tastebuds and doesn’t have an annoyingly long-lasting aftertaste. This is definitely one of my new favourites.

Thank you so much for reading! As mentioned above, I do have thirteen other teas to try, but let me know if there’s a particular tea you’d like me to review and I’ll try my hardest! I’m doing this mostly as my own documentation, but I would love to hear your thoughts.

Love,

Arden xx

Definitions Printable

This is something that I personally use and find useful, so I figured I could share it in case other people might find it useful too! There’s almost definitely similar printables already online, but this is just the one I made for myself! You can find it here!

Tip: if you need more than the two pages shown, when choosing printer settings put “2″ in the box at “Pages” (as opposed to selecting “All”) and print as many copies of the second page as you’d like! All the definitions!

Hey! I can totally appreciate how you're feeling about your skin. I had acne for years, and as much as people tell you that it's not noticeable or that it's what's inside that counts, it still bothers you. Have you tried talking to your doctor? I've finally found something that works for me, after trying pretty much every product and tip out there, so maybe you should give that a shot!

no i haven’t talked to my doctor( i don’t even have an “own” doctor #veryhealthyknockswood) but i know i should go to one to get my skin checked up! i’m also considering birth control, both for my skin and period(or lack of honestly) but i don’t know?? everything is so overwhelming ah

August, 22. ’17 · 9/100 Days of Productivity

Spent all the morning studying for Literature and I really hope this won’t be as hard as I’m expecting. Hopefully when I get back from school I can chill a little before heading to study again.

Little note about this blog: I’m so sorry if you came here looking for aesthetics and I disappointed you. Sometimes I try my best, but sometimes I favor efficiency before aesthetics when I study. Even if this blog is kind of a journey to combine the two, I don’t think I will show some results after a while.

What did I learn today? Next solar eclipse will be in 2019, here in Argentina!!! I’m so excited!!
