about me:

i’m a 21 year old BSN student. it’s a major goal of mine to achieve mastery in a subject in this lifetime. i chose nursing to reach this goal with long, careful consideration! nursing not only allows me to learn the science of the body through and through, but also gives me knowledge i can put into practice—what’s theory without application?

studying is my flow state. it hits all 5 bases of flow—curiosity, passion, serving others, motivation to achieve mastery, and autonomy to pursue this path. it’s cozy to study and satisfying to become more knowledgeable in such an important field.

i like to see it like a tool for self mastery, kind of like how shaolin monks would use martial arts as a tool for self mastery. it takes discipline AND the foundation of a holistically healthy, balanced lifestyle.

excited to join this journey!

Introduction post

Hello there, welcome to my blog! ツ

Basics:

- My name is Ina (ee-n-uh)

- I'm 20 years old

- Starting my junior year of college in October, majoring in special education and rehabilitation of deaf and hard of hearing people

- English is not my native language, so if posts regarding my studies are confusing, it's because educational systems (curriculums, how is a certain profession organised and its theory used in practise...) are vastly different between countries, especially when talking about special education.

What is this blog?

So, for now it's a commonplace book or a digital journal made of all the things that I think would be helpful in achieving my goals. Whether it's study tips, book recommendations, music playlists, motivational mood boards, quotes, pretty pictures it can all be found here, as well as my thoughts and updates on personal challenges (study, productivity, maintaining healthy habits etc).

Honestly, not sure yet. I wanted to make a studyblr, because my first priority now and in the next few years will be getting my bachelor and masters degree, as well as finding a job in my filed. Of course none of that is possible if I don't put effort and care into other aspects of my life, so I thought why not make it a some kind of a self-care blog, but realised that I don't know what would I even post and how I would do it.

Why am I starting this blog?

Currently my life is a mess, all the bits and pieces of it are scattered around and I am trying to pick what I have, connect it into some barely functioning thing and continue on to grow from there.

I want to work on making my life more better and enjoyable, on accepting and loving myself, on growing and improving every single day.

Also I've always admired all the study blogs out there. Everyone seems so genuinely kind and willing to give out tips and hacks about anything. I have always wanted to be a part of such community, thinking that this will help me stay disciplined and consistent with my work.

Things I wanna work on (I'll probably make separate post for this):

- self-discipline

- incorporating healthier habits into my everyday life (there will also be separate post for this)

- increasing productivity not just regarding my studies

- reading more books (for enjoyment)

- getting out of the comfort zone, being more spontaneous, making memories (with friends and alone), doing things just for the hell fun of it

- learning more skills/languages (for now I want to become fluent in my third language - French, as for skills I would love to enroll in a self-defence or dance class or both)

- getting work experience, I would love to and have to volunteer with organisations from my field in order to have something on my work resume besides a degree and get familiar with my line of future profession

- enjoying my youth, the moments I'm living in right now, being more thankful for everything that i have

...

Interests:

Besides my studies and future line of work

- reading (romance novels, poetry and classics)

- the biggest Hunger games and Suzane Collins fan, everlark stan for life

- listening to music (currently favourite Hozier, the Killers, James Arthur, Lord Huron, Kacey Musgraves, my native pop and folk music) while imagining fake scenarios

- watching TV shows (b99, himym, the good place, the new girl, friends, bridgerton and currently favourite my lady jane)

- now realising that I really need to get into more things besides media consumption

Study, life and aesthetic blogs that I admire and that inspire me:

* @studyblrmasterposts

* @studyblr

* @emmastudies

* @peachblossomstudy

* @starrystvdy

* @helenstudies

* @study-core-101

* @zzzzzestforlife

* @luciaslifesblog

* @malusokay

* @flowerhope

* @agirlwithglam

These are just some of them, if you are also a new studyblr don't hesitate to reach out to me I'd love to be mutuals

I'm still not sure about the main structure of this blog I guess in the near future I'll be posting daily updates as a part of some challenge (100 days of productivity or 30 days of discipline). I'll see so just bare with me 😅

Hey, do you have any tips to regularly motivate yourself to study?

I often get overwhelmed by the homework and forget about the textbook readings and preparation.

Hi anon,

sorry for taking so long to answer and thanks for the question.

1) get a study buddy. find a person with similar academic goals to you even if you don't study the same thing and set a time and a place regularly, were you just go to actually study and hold eachother accountable. my friend and I meet every saturday and go to the library or a study cafe for five hours. we are different majors so we can't really help one another but it's about accountability.

2) habits, routines >> motivation. I am the biggest procrastinator and motivation doesn't work for me. I have created systems that force me to study. Like the study friend or going to a study group meeting, going to the library after class without going home in between cause if I go home I now I'm just going to watch tv and not study at all. you can also try virtual study groups if it's more accessible to you although I've never tried with strangers before.

3) plan everything. plan ahead from the moment you get the syllable as far as you can. organize time for smaller tasks every day or every other day if you can. make the schedule as realistic and as flexible as you can.

4) a little bit every day. textbook readings don't usually get done cause a.our asses are on fire from hw b. they don't have a deadline c. are huge . So break it down in smaller chunks. let's say you have to get through 800 pages. from the stem prospective I try to skim through 10 to 20 pages each time and get the general gist.

5) 5% is better than 0. even if you do nothing but read one page or solve one practice problem a day it's still something.

6) find old exams. if most of your classes have exams in the end and not projects lime mine, try to find as many older exam questions as possible. if the professor is the same they usually have a similar style of exams each year. this way you know what kind of exam you are studying for and can focus on the material that actually matters so you don't get overwhelmed as much.

7) make friends with upperclassmen. they've been already through this and usually have pretty good advice and tricks. I like to bribe them with coffee or food and they'll even give you the work they've done for the class before, this way you get a better understanding of what you have to do for the class. they are also a good motivation or reminder cause they are the proof that you can pass this class.

8) it's going to be ok. school and uni suck sometimes but you can get through it. if it gets too overwhelming academically see if you have the option for a tutor or sth similar and don't be too proud to ask for help, we've all been there.

Hope this helps!!! If anyone has more questions my dms and asks are open!!!

Happy holidays, and remember that while holiday breaks such as this are a great opportunity to get in extra study time, please give time to your own care and to your friends and family as well this time of year. Treat yourself to a warm drink while reviewing, have some sweet treats as rewards every half hour while taking fresh notes, keep knowledge on your studies at the forefront of your brain by infodumping to someone you love. School is important, but so are the breaks and soft moments in between.

Evening Study Session

started doing some studying for my statistics (psych) exam 3 at around 7 pm. Quizlet is my absolute best friend! the only downside is that they now have an upgrade feature, so you have to pay to use different, effective study techniques.

there's an app on my phone that checks my digital well-being and allows for me to cut out all other distractions so that I may focus better when I'm studying. I studied for about 59 minutes (7:34 PM - 8:33 PM)!!! I feel like this session was very productive. I learned a lot of the information quickly.

Today I'm wearing my "X - Men" sweater and a pair of sweat pants. Fun-Fact, I use the name "Kitty" from the X - Men mutant Kitty Pryde. She's my absolute favorite mutant/ character to ever exist. <3

anyway, now that I've done some productive studying, I'm off to get ready to wind down and play video games. GN ALL!

What life looks like rn

[misslittlephysicist]

I've been trying to take it slow and to ease into studying to try and recover my passion for physics that has been slowly dying with the pressure of exams and graduation and my father almost blew all of my progress by telling me "You need to graduate in February, it is imperative, so get off you arse and pick up your slack" like sir... I'm already on Xanax how much more do you want to damage me

a 'coffee and colleen hoover' kind of day

i've been reading a few of CoHo's books recently. really liked 'it ends with us' but 'ugly love' was a bit meh. i'm excited to read verity though, i've heard lots of good things about it

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
