✧ ˚.The Ultimate Study Guide: How to Become a Top-Tier Student ✨📚

Hi besties! 💖 It’s Mindy here, your resident study buddy and glow-up guru at Glowettee. I wanna talk about how to become a top-tier student this upcoming year without losing your sanity—or your vibe. Imagine sipping on a latte, surrounded by pastel notes and cute stationery, feeling like the main character of your academic journey. That’s the energy we’re channeling today. Ready to take your study game from blah to iconic? Hopefully these tips could help prepare for the second semester!

1. Active Recall and Spaced Repetition Hacks

Okay, so here’s the deal: simply reading your notes is not the move. You’ve got to make your brain work a little harder to really soak in all that info.

Active recall: Write down questions from your notes and try answering them without looking. This forces your brain to actually retrieve the information (and helps you remember it longer!).

Spaced repetition: Spread out your study sessions instead of cramming. Use apps like Anki or Quizlet to create digital flashcards that you review over time. Bonus: Anki is super aesthetic if you customize the fonts and colors. 🌸

2. How to Make Study Sessions Feel Luxurious

Studying doesn’t have to feel like a chore, babe. Here’s how to romanticize the grind:

Set the mood: Light a candle, play soft lofi beats, and wear your coziest silk robe. (Yes, the fancy one.)

Aesthetic setup: Use pastel highlighters, cute pens, and a clean desk space. Your desk should feel like a Pinterest board come to life.

Snacks & drinks: Treat yourself to something yummy like matcha lattes or chocolate-covered almonds. A chic study session is fueled by snacks, trust me. 🍵

3. Step-by-Step Pomodoro Method Breakdown for Focus

Pomodoro is basically magic for productivity. Here’s how to do it:

Set a timer for 25 minutes and work on one task. (Pro tip: Choose something specific, like summarizing one chapter.)

Take a 5-minute break after each session. Stretch, grab a sip of water, or scroll Pinterest for inspo.

Repeat four times, then take a longer 20-30 minute break. Use this time to dance around your room or journal—it’s all about balance.

🦢 ✧ ˚.Why it works: Breaking your tasks into bite-sized chunks makes studying less overwhelming and way more manageable. Plus, the breaks keep you refreshed and motivated.🦢 ✧ ˚.

4. Best Apps for Studying

Bestie, your phone doesn’t have to be a distraction—it can be your ultimate study tool. Here are my faves:

Notion: Perfect for organizing your study schedule and creating dreamy, color-coded notes. You can even add cute icons and headers to make it so aesthetic. (SPOILER!! I'll be making some soon for you guys!!)

Quizlet: Great for flashcards and testing yourself on key terms. Bonus: You can use other people’s study sets if you’re short on time.

Anki: Ideal for mastering those tough subjects (hello, bio and chem!). The spaced repetition feature is a lifesaver for long-term retention.

Forest: Keeps you off your phone by growing virtual trees while you study. The guilt of killing your tree will keep you focused, I promise. 🌳

5. How to Romanticize School and Make It Fun

Here’s the tea: school doesn’t have to be boring. Treat every class like a stepping stone to your dream life.

Dress the part: Show up like the best-dressed main character. Think Blair Waldorf vibes but comfy—plaid skirts, cozy cardigans, and knee-high socks are always a win.

Curate your supplies: Invest in cute stationery, a pastel planner, and maybe even a monogrammed tote bag. If it feels luxurious, you’ll want to use it.

Celebrate small wins: Finished a chapter? Reward yourself with a TikTok break or a face mask. You deserve it.

Shift your mindset: Instead of dreading school, think of it as part of your glow-up. Every essay, test, or project is one step closer to the 🦢 ✧ ˚.elite🦢 ✧ ˚. version of you.

Final Thoughts

You’ve got this, babe. Becoming a top-tier student is about working smarter, not harder—and looking cute while doing it. Make your study sessions a vibe, stay consistent with these hacks, and watch your grades (and confidence) skyrocket. Remember: You’re not just studying for school; you’re building the foundation for your dream life. 💕

Let me know how you’re leveling up your study game in the comments or tags! And don’t forget to tag @glowettee if you post your aesthetic study setups—I’d love to see them. ✨

Xoxo, Mindy/Glowettee 🌸

🛠️✨ Welcome to Stories of a Stray

Hi hi! I’m Lofi, a chaotic story gremlin fueled by chill beats, coffee and bread, found family angst, and too many emotions about fictional characters.

Welcome to my cozy little corner of the internet, where I share:

✍️ Original fiction (mostly my main project Eyes of Novality).

📚 Fanfiction about shows/anime/manga I'm currently obsessing over.

💭 Worldbuilding notes, character breakdowns, lore drops.

🧃 Occasional memes, chaos, and soft screaming into the void :)

. 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 .

🌌 About Eyes of Novality

“What if the gods weren’t gods at all, but eldritch—and one decided to hijack your brain, ruin your life, and attract way too many government agents? And somehow, in the middle of the chaos, you end up with a family in the last people you expected? Yeah, wild.” - Kasey

Eyes of Novality is a science-fantasy novel set in Novality City, a futuristic metropolis where the sky-high elites of Aerith rule over the struggling underground district of Lurith. In the shadows of this world, remnants of the past—eldritch beings once worshiped as gods—have begun to stir again.

🌀 The Core Premise

Kasey Collins is a scrappy orphan from Lurith who just wants to fix his broken hoverboard, avoid trouble, and prove he’s worth more than the world says he is. But when he accidentally awakens an ancient Eye embedded in his forehead, marked as a vessel for something far older than humanity, he’s thrown into a war he never asked to be part of. Hunted by factions, feared by elites, and reluctantly protected by a tired soldier who didn’t sign up to be a father, Kasey must survive in a city where eldritch gods are real—and they might not be the real monsters after all.

💜 Why read this?

✔ One feral orphan, one overworked soldier, and one eyeball-shaped eldritch nightmare.

✔ Kasey wanted a hoverboard, not a judgmental god sharing his consciousness. Too bad.

✔ Found family, but with more sarcasm, trauma, and poorly cooked meals.

✔ An ancient Eye has opinions. Kasey does not care. His guardian definitely cares.

✔ No prophecies, no destiny—just bad luck and worse decisions.

🌟 What to expect:

✨ Eldritch entities with unsettlingly judgmental stares.

✨ A tech gremlin MC who bites off more than he can chew.

✨ Exploding hoverboards and cyberpunk chaos.

✨ Soft, painful family bonds (no one will admit).

✨ And one exasperated soldier dad who really, really needs a nap.

💌 Let’s Be Mutuals!

This blog is 50% emotion, 30% gremlin chaos, and 20% an unhinged music library that swings between hauntingly ethereal ballads, gut-punching battle anthems, and guilty pleasure pop bangers you’d scream in the car at 3 AM.

Eyes of Novality is a work in progress, meaning you’ll get live worldbuilding updates, character deep-dives, fresh chapter drops, and plenty of unfiltered writer struggles. Feel free to send asks, scream about characters, or tag me in things—I love talking shop, sharing weird ideas, and hyping up fellow writers. Whether it’s deep lore dives, writing struggles, or just chaotic rambling, I’m here for it.

The world is still being built, but you’re welcome to stay. 💜

I'm sad so here's some music headcanons for Destiny 2 characters, assuming music remained intact since the pre-Golden Age:

- Cayde: ofc I'm starting with him. I feel like he'd listen to a bit of everything to be honest (I'm projecting so hard rn), but most of the content of his playlists would be "european childhood" songs (idk what else to call them), 80's music and white girl music. My boy would absolutely kill it at an ABBA karaoke night. He knows every single move to the Just Dance Rasputin dance (he learnt when he was a human, but don't tell him that. He likes to think he came up with it), which only fueled Andal's jokes about him being Rasputin (the warmind, not the dude). Oh and he listens to Hozier when he's Feeling™.

- Eris: my favorite goth. However, i feel like she'd mainly go for the loud stuff, to drown The Voices™. Real loud. Like, Deep Purple loud. Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath are on the list as well, she likes to vary. As for the goth, perhaps some Nine Inch Nails. The Cure, definitely. She really likes how russian songs sound. Saint thinks she's weird.

- Ikora: other than the occasional heavy metal music sesh with her gf (she specifically enjoys Metallica), she's really into lofi. I know, i know. Polar opposites. But she's stressed, ok? She also wouldn't say no to some bedroom pop/alternative/indie. I can picture her listening to Rex Orange County.

- Zavala: Zuzuvela! Classical music, who would've guessed. A bit cliche, i know, but hear me out. I like to think man's learned to play the piano when living with Safiyah, and used to play Für Elise for her. He still plays it now when he's feeling down. Are you crying yet? I am. Anyways, we all know he listens to Shaxx's tapes as well.

- Amanda: everything about her screams rap to me. But like, all rap. From Eminem to Tupac to Nicki Minaj to Kendrick Lamar. Imma throw Tyler, The Creator and Childish Gambino in as well because that's my personal Holy Trinity. Kendrick, Gambino and Tyler. In that order, iykwim.

- Crow: now this guy, he's the definition of "a bit of everything". Hozier. Soooo much Hozier in this guy's wrapped. If you look closely you might spot some Will Wood and Mitski. Oh and, ofc, the queens as well: Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, etc. Now that i think about it, he would make a great Y2K girl, but that's between me and God.

I ran out of colors so that's it! Please tell me if i should make more i have so many of these (i will probably make more regardless). Also please tell me if i got any genres and/or artists wrong, I did do some research but you never know <3

[zestysthoughts]

Tep Tons: Albums

10. The Break of Dawn (Blue In Green) Smooth all the way through, this is full of music to just kinda vibe to, similarly to what you'd find hosted by Lofi Girl. Along with much of Gramatik's early work, it's the album that helped fuel my initial interest in the hip-hop style, especially with jazz elements. Here's a taste!

9. This Time (Los Lobos) I don't often listen to rock, but it's actually what I grew up with. At the center was AC/DC, Smash Mouth, and Linkin Park. In the periphery and having at most a single album I'd listen to, were Crossfade, 3 Doors Down, Finger Eleven, and Los Lobos. This Time sticks out as being not emo edgy and full of cringe-worthy self-pity. It's got energy, variety, and good vibes all around. Here's a taste!

8. Small Plates (J3PO) Short and sweet, this is one of those sketch albums, filled with some of the many snippets thought up and created by the artist. I love the existence of albums like this, as some of the real banger ideas that never get a full produced song can see the light of day while the artist is still alive, Small Plates (and Sweet Treats) having some of my favorites by J3PO. Here's a taste!

7. Fantastic (Slum Village) I couldn't pick one of the volumes, so I'm going with all of them lol. I love the wonky Dilla-time, as anyone who's seen my music recommendations would know. I love the unfinished feel of Vol. 1 with a bunch of really bumpin' beats that unfortunately never made it past this point, and I love that they revisited and polished a bunch of them and for Vol. 2, then there's the further edited version of 2, complete with hilarious and heartfelt testimonials at the end of some of the tracks. Here's a Taste!

6. Funk Blaster EP (KOAN Sound) While there's no one album that incapsulates my dubstep phase, this one was definitely the most prominent. It's funky, wubby, and well-composed. I'll admit I am "that guy" when it comes to KOAN Sound, I liked them better during their early experimental days, until Polychrome when they made a habit of putting 2 different songs in 1 track. Honorable mention to Risky Endeavors Here's a taste!

6.5. Planet Neutral (Getter)

5. Things Fall Apart (The Roots) One of the newest additions, The Roots has become one of my favorite bands ever. Through and through, this is but one of the masterpieces created in the Soulquarians sessions at Electric Lady Studio, filled with banger after banger. Honorable mention to the Deluxe Edition, featuring some of my favorite Roots songs ever. Here's a taste!

4. Astro Lounge (Smash Mouth) Yes I know, it's the one with All Star. Like I said, Smash Mouth was one of my favorite bands growing up, and Astro Lounge just has a special place in my heart. The title I think sums it up best, feels like you're in a cozy futuristic lounge, or at least the idea of futuristic people had in the late 90's. Here's a taste!

3. Random Album Title (Deadmau5) Another one I'm nostalgic for, this is the ultimate vibe album for me. The somewhat droning and repetitive nature of it, plus the seamless mix between songs, gives it a video game soundtrack quality in that it's great for just putting on in the background while you're doing stuff. Unfortunately Spotify is being weird and there's like 3 slightly different versions of it with the same name. Here's a taste!

2. Plastic Beach (Gorillaz) Aright it's another nostalgic one, this I think is the first physical CD I ever bought. I love the metaphorically nautical/maritime theme, and as per usual with the Gorillaz, there's a great variety in musical styles. Plus there's a kickass music video for Stylo. Here's a taste!

1. Djesse (Jacob Collier) I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, Jacob Collier is the greatest musical mind of our time. This album has such a profound effect on me I can't fully describe. Whenever I sit to listen to any part of it, it feels like a hug that gives you the warm shivers, it tickles my ears, and almost always I well up. Djesse is the work of a man who thoroughly explores the depths of music and sound, travels the world to learn, combines it all in unique ways, and all the while exuding this infectious energy and curiosity. Here's a taste!

⚠️ Warning : depiction of depressive behavior and obsessive thoughts.

❀ Pansy n°5 = Reality ? No, thanks…

When life feels too bland, one’s mind can do wonders to escape it.

It may seem unreal or fake to some people, but for some minds the easiest way to cope with a negative or stressful emotional state is to dive into one’s subconscious and imagination. The reason why is pretty simple. You are free to control everything and everyone in your own head. You are able to picture and make up every landscape, every environment with anyone you would want to be with.

You are free to give yourself a dream life while escaping the difficult truth of reality.

This “ability” can be considered a skill available to anyone willing to expand and develop their imagination. Personally, I have always considered myself to be quite creative and full of imagination, so being able to increase my capability of imagining things has been awfully thrilling through the years. My mind has always been triggered by music. Easily imagining or making up epic battles on action like songs, dance routines on classical music or simply fake scenarios on chill lofi beats. 

I have so many different fake lives, it’s concerning… :/

But it is such a cathartic experience to insert yourself in your favorite universes, with your favorite characters. What’s even better is when you are so into your mind that you can feel things. With time, it happens to me more and more.

Sometimes the smell of freshly baked bread, but mostly the feeling of a warm embrace or lips softly brushing against one another…

That might be why I often have lucid dreams or why I believe in shifting. But those are pansies for another time.

Nevertheless, this dream-like ability can become dangerous to a certain extent. In fact, when the fake scenarios become an obsession, when day-dreaming becomes a daily occurrence, all in all, when all of it becomes too important… Then it becomes a problem. Then it is unhealthy.

Why does this amazing experience have to be so toxic ?

It is a way to cope, to feel good, to relieve stress - for once without the use of anything illegal 👀- but sadly it also disinterests you from reality. Some people can end up resenting even more their real life.

Come to think of it, that’s how addictions work, no ?

I am no one to tell you what to do if you relate to what I’m writing, neither am I judging anyone. Too often do I feel detached from reality because of my will to live in fantasies. It is something I want to work on - most of my pansies are about myself, my thoughts and based on my will to evolve.

So once again, I am no one to judge.

I am someone so obsessed with daydreaming that, when I am feeling down, it literally plagues my days. I only think about when I’ll have alone time to listen to music and continue the scenario where I left off. Or when I’ll be able to read self-insert fanfictions to drown even more in this shameful obsession of the unreal.

All of it fueled by the fear of reality and the tiredness of living.

Too often do I think I would like to eternally dream.

And that’s because I am conscious it has become this unhealthy obsession that I want to work on. I know that on the one hand, I like to make up scenarios because I would like to experience other environments/universes with other people. But on the other hand, I realized it is also because I can be whoever I want to be.

So lately - being in a good mindset - I am on a quest to better myself, to let myself discover who I am, who I want to be and most importantly to let myself take time to heal.

I know this won't be easy, that I won’t drastically stop to escape reality. But now I also know that to make this creative ability healthy, I have to try and find or even make a dream out of reality.

Discover Sick Samurai: The Ultimate Adrenaline-Fueled Slasher

Sick Samurai fast and bloody slasher action game is due to evolve onto Linux and Mac with Windows PC. Thanks to recent details from the creative talents of developer Solideo. Due to make its way onto Steam in 2025. Solideo is eager to announce their next title, Sick Samurai — an adrenaline-fueled, slasher action that’s all about speed, precision, and non-stop action. Imagine the fast-paced, one hit kill action of Hotline Miami, but with a samurai. While adding in some major retro anime vibes. If you’re a fan of Samurai Champloo or Cowboy Bebop, this is going to feel like a blast from the past. Due to offer its own fresh, stylish spin. And the soundtrack? It’s loaded with lofi beats that mix hip hop, jazz, soul, and funk. All ready to keep that energy flowing as you carve your way through enemies. And, there are even plans for a Sick Samurai native port.

The game is being developed in Unity, so I'm hoping that towards the end of development both a Mac and a Linux version will be as simple as building for those platforms. And getting some users to test that it all works as intended.

It was great to hear from Solideo. They’re upfront about their plans for Linux support, which is expected about a year from now. Makes total sense to take the time needed. But honestly, I can’t wait to get my hands on a native test build.

Sick Samurai - Official Announcement Trailer

In Sick Samurai, each level is hand-crafted to give you more than one way to tackle it. You’ll have multiple paths to explore and different strategies to try out. So you can really play it your way. There’s also a solid upgrade system where you can pick up items and power-ups along the way. Due to let you fine-tune your playstyle. But don’t expect easy gameplay — this game throws you right into the deep end. Instant-death combat means you’ll die a lot, but the game lets you jump right back in to retry a level. Repetition is part of the challenge here; the dash and slash mechanic is fast and deadly. So you’ll need to master the timing, plan your moves, and keep those reflexes sharp.

The Setting

Sick Samurai takes place on Furikyu, a fictional island that’s a unique blend of Edo-period Japan with touches of 20th-century urban America. You play as a young fighter determined to become the best warrior on the island. To do that, he seeks out Genyu, an ex-samurai with a bit of a rough past, hoping to train under him. Together, they set off on a mission to challenge the four big-shot samurai who run the island. Each with their own turf and combat style. It’s a deadly journey, and every fight will push you to step up your skills. Another nice touch is that Sick Samurai has fully voice-acted dialogue. While offering choices that let you influence your relationships with the characters you meet. So, it’s not just about slashing through enemies; there’s a story element too. And you get to shape how it unfolds. Sick Samurai fast and bloody slasher action is due to release on Linux and Mac with Windows PC. Doing so through Steam in Q4 2025. Therefore keep an eye out if you’re ready for some intense, lofi-fueled samurai slasher action that’s as stylish as it is brutal.

ADHD and focusing

So, here's some strategies that have helped me:

Music - different genres act as a queue to my brain for different tasks and help get me in the mood for them. Like Lofi Hip Hop for homework and rock for house chores.

Nature - being outside or bringing some of it inside (sun lamp and plants) or just mentally connecting with nature like pictures and nature sounds really boosts my mood and focus from nothing to doing a complete 180°! I guess nature helps me to feel awake, alive and simultaneously relaxed.

Breaks - I like to set a 30 min timer and pick a task from a list and just do that one thing then I can stop for a bit and take a break. This close together start, stop, start, stop pattern may seem unproductive but it helps. Also, "break" time doesn't mean sit and do nothing. I have a list like take a walk, groom the dogs, dishes, laundry, sewing, baking...they can be necessary or just for fun (no screen time allowed) but the change in stimulation and different executive functioning required helps me to balance myself by not putting too much time and energy into one thing for hours and helps me be more mindful of my current energy levels and what I can do with what I have, not what I can't.

Positive association - helps to make the thing fun and enticing. Like in dog training, I make something not fun like nail trimming with lots of treats. For me, it looks more like finding how the task relates, even in some convoluted way, to a special interest. Or have something related to a special interest present whenever I do that task like a soundtrack playing or a plushie, who ONLY gets to sit with me when I do that task, no other time (increases higher value to that thing by increasing its rarity).

Clothing - Wearing light clothing makes me feel more free to move around and especially going barefoot (of course this is at home). I think going barefoot provides a certain sensory experience that makes me want to be on my feet, up and doing things and not sitting down not doing what I need to. Like when I vacuum, the carpet feels nice and warm.

Exercise - Yoga has been proven to help people with ADHD, it's moving around mindfully and focuses on being aware of your body and surroundings. Also, if I need some motivation, getting up and dancing is a fun way to energize me and get some endorphins going. I particularly like eisa, it's dance that's like a combination of karate and Japanese taiko drumming. I don't have a drum, so I just clap. The poses in yoga and eisa help me feel strong and confident, like I can do anything.

Food - the brain and body need fuel to do things, so, do your best to stick to eating a rainbow of fruits, veggies and leafy greens everyday and do your best to stay away from processed foods. I promise you, a simple diet change can work miracles!

Fidgets - they're fun, we all love them! And can be anything that's fun to stim with like a pen, hoodie string, or sticky notes. My favorites are pop it balls.

Screen time - please try and keep scrolling on your phone to a minimum. The quick easy dopamine rush can make your brain hooked and make your brain's production of dopamine become dysregulated, which it typically already is in ADHD, so, I think we're particularly susceptible to phone addiction.

Mini tasks - doing something small and attainable is a good way to boost my confidence in being able to do other things and gets me in a "working mood." Often times, this looks like tidying my room a little because an organized environment can help me focus as well.

Postmortem - Platform

Gameplay:

In regards to my original concept for my platform prototype, I had made several changes to the gameplay and implemented new features. I originally was contemplating wether or not I wanted to implement a way in which a player can kill enemies. When prototyping and developing my ideas for gameplay I moved forward with keeping the enemies un-killable, however recently I have been watching tutorials on how I can add a feature where players can pick up a weapon; ray gun of some sorts. With this they gain the ability to shoot a projectile to kill enemies within a vertical range.

In addition, I was not able to play test with people inside my workshop, however I had my roommate, who isn't too familiar with playing video games. I had originally had only three lives for the player; loosing one when coming into contact with enemies and losing all of them when falling off the map. I had realised that maybe I made the game a bit too difficult, especially for non-experienced gamers and even younger players. Moving forward I decided to have 5 lives, however with an increase of enemies. Alongside only losing one heart for when a player falls off the map.

I had mentioned previously with the animations that I had to remove them all from my character as it caused a bug where the players character would immediately fall through the map when beginning the game. I had tried multiple times to figure out what the issue in the code may be but came to no conclusions.

Design:

When designing, I was again contemplating wether I should change the design of the character even though it actually fits with my design theme. After finishing my prototype I tried to play around with creating a new design myself but found I did not have enough time nor experience with drawing to create my own.

After working on my prototype, I wasn’t very satisfied with the overal concept I had chosen. I felt as though it kind of lacked substance and wasn’t very creative. While working my job (I work as a barista) I thought of an idea I would actually like to trial out as a platformer if I have the time. Here is a somewhat finalised elevator pitch for my new idea.

New pitch idea!!!!!!

Gameplay

Players embark on a caffeine-fueled journey through various levels, each set in a unique coffee-themed environment. The game encourages exploration, discovery, and a relaxed pace while delivering an engaging platforming experience.

The game features a soothing lofi soundtrack that adapts to the player's actions and the environment. The music changes tempo and mood as players progress through different levels, creating a calming and immersive atmosphere.

Coffee inspired power ups - Brewster can collect coffee beans, which serve as power-ups. These beans allow him to perform unique abilities, such as espresso boost jumps, cappuccino glides, and mocha ground pound attacks.

Each level is set in a different coffee-themed world, such as a bustling coffee shop, a serene coffee bean farm, and an ancient coffee temple.

Visual Design

The game boasts a cozy and inviting visual style with warm colors and detailed pixel art. The coffee-themed environments are filled with lush vegetation, steaming coffee cups, and lofi-inspired art pieces. The characters and enemies have a cute and quirky design that fits well with the overall aesthetic.

Ages

designed for players of all ages who appreciate a relaxing gaming experience, love coffee, and enjoy platform games.
