I thought I would share the school supply list I created because my high school doesn’t give out supply lists. (leave a comment if your high school also doesn’t/didn’t give out school supply lists, too. Just curious if most high schools don’t give out lists)

Notebooks - One per class, and another for notes

Graph paper notebook - For whatever type of math class you’re in, if you’re in one. Not sure about anyone else but my previous math teachers always wanted graph paper

Folders - One per class, unless notebooks have a pocket in them, and if wanted one for homework

Note cards - 1-2 packs. If you’re taking a foreign language I might get 2-3 possibly even 4 instead

Pencil case(s) - I like to have one for my essentials like a few pencils, pens, a highlighter, white out, etc. and one to keep the rest of the pens, pencils, and highlighters in.

Mechanical pencils - Whatever type you prefer. If you tend to loose pencils easily I might get one of those big packs of like 30. If you probably won’t loose them I might get the pack of two or three that come with the extra box of lead

Pens - 2 black, 2 blue, 2 red. It’s fun to have colorful pens, too, for note taking

Highlighters - however many you want, whatever kind you want. Because maybe you want the Zebra mildliners, or the regular ones from the store idk man it doesn’t matter to me you do you.

Sticky notes - 2 packs, and maybe some cute ones if you want

White out - You might not think you need it but you probably will at some point. Plus it’s only around $1

Clear tape - 1-2 rolls

Calculator - or a graphing calculator, ONLY if you need it. They’re fucking expensive, guys

Backpack - make sure it will hold all your stuff and not break halfway through the year

Laptop Case - Not necessary, but my school gives us chromebooks to carry around and we need to keep them in a case.

Planner - Definitely get a planner. Check out the different kinds and find one that works for you.

Speaking of planners, any planner recommendations? Not sure which one to get

Well, I think that’s about it! A basic school supply list. Pretty sure this was useless but whatever.

How would you guys feel about a “What’s in my backpack” post? Please let me know!

Me, doing my geometry test: I think I get this! It all seems to make sense now! Wow I actually know what I'm doing!

*gets test back a few minutes after finished cause the teacher literally grades it as soon as it's turned in*

On the top of the test, in red pen: 75%

Me: well fuck

Apps I love

A list of my must-have apps for school and studying. Enjoy! 💕

Photomath

Scan or type in the equation you are trying to solve. Photomath will then explain step by step how to solve the problem and give you the answer. I love this because it doesn't just give you an answer, it explains how to solve the problem so then I know next time how to solve it!

Duolingo

Everyone's probably heard of this already, but it's one of my favorites. With Duolingo you can learn a bunch of different languages and it's free! It's especially great to use before school starts to get a head start on a language you might be taking in school. I personally like to use it as homework because my french teacher almost never assigns homework.

Desmos

This is a graphing calculator app. Personally, it's much easier than using an actual graphing calculator (I still haven't figured out how to graph on mine lol). Just type in you points or equations and it will graph it for you.

Quizlet

Make sets of vocabulary cards to study on your phone! There's also different games you can play to learn your vocabulary. Great for any class with vocab.

Google Docs

My school uses Google, not Microsoft. With the google docs app I can finish papers that are due or need editing without having to have my laptop! Highly recommend if you school also uses Google.

Spotify

A must have if you like to listen to music while you study. There's playlists of songs people make that are available for you to listen to. Listen to a playlist of your favorite band, or a playlist of calming and peaceful songs to get you to focus.

Am I crazy if I’ve only had this studyblr for like a week and I’ve already bought Mildliners?

To be fair, I’ve always wanted pastel highlighters and was so happy to discover these on here. Thanks, Tumblr!😂 I got these from Amazon, they weren’t that pricey and if you’re a prime member you get free shipping!

Also we hit 50 followers the other day! This small milestone is huge for me, thank you guys so much!💖A “what’s in my backpack” post should be up soon!

All summer, I have been staying up past 12:00 am doing God knows what. From binge watching Friends on Netflix to scrolling through Tumblr, I was sleeping till 10:00 am or later.

There’s my problem, I’m staying up late and also sleeping in late. Why is this a problem, you may ask?

Because I have to get up at 5:30 am when school starts.

That’s right, FIVE F**KING THIRTY AM ^

This is because the bus comes at 6:30 am and it takes around an hour to get to school with all the stops. With how I’m sleeping now, I would only get 2-5 hours of sleep (at my age I need 8+), which basically means I’ll be dead the whole day unless I bring coffee with me to school which I don’t have time to make/buy coffee in the morning.

I have put together this list of ways to make falling asleep and waking up early for school easier. Hopefully some of you find this helpful!

Sorry the intro was so long. Also, please bear with me, as this is my second time typing this because the first time I was almost done and it deleted. THE STRUGGLES.

Start now

If you have not started school yet, start waking up early now. Each day, work your way to the time you need to wake up for school. For example, I’m starting by waking up at 9:00 am, and slowly working my way to 5:30 am. I would make sure you get to the time you need to wake up at a few days before school starts, though, so you can get on a schedule.

Don’t go on your phone before bed

It’s a distraction, and the bright screen won’t help. Try reading a book instead; it should unwind you after a long day, making it easier to fall asleep.

Invest in a diffuser and essential oils or scented lotion

There’s this thing called essential oils. What a diffuser does is you put water and a drop or two of essential oil into the diffuser and it diffuses the essential oil into the room. There is lavender essential oil, and lavender scent is useful for relaxing/calming you before bed, making it easier to fall asleep. Putting the lavender essential oil in the diffuser will make your room smell of lavender, thus making it easier to fall asleep.

If you don’t want t get a diffuser, I also love the sleep lotion from the aromatherapy line at Bath and Body Works. It also has lavender essential oil in it. I recommend the lavender chamomile one, but the lavender vanilla scent is just as nice.

Mini workout or yoga

I’ve been trying to do a mini work out before bed each night (I forget a lot but I’m begin inning to get more consistent). It helps me burn a bit of energy before bed, allowing me to fall asleep easier. Here’s the mini work out I do:

10 squats

40 second plank

10 jumping jacks

10 sit-ups

15 leg lifts x2

5 push ups

Another option is yoga. There are some yoga poses that relax you and help you fall asleep

Also when you wake up, doing a few jumping jacks or something should help you feel more awake.

Tempereature

The comfortable temperature to sleep in is 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit or around 15-21 degrees Celsius.

Melatonin

Melatonin is a hormone produced by your body that manages your sleep and wake schedule. Eating foods at have good amounts of melatonin or that help make melatonin will help you fall asleep. Some foods include:

tart cherries

oats

bananas

There are also melatonin tablets people take to help them fall asleep. I personally did’t see any effect, but it might work for you. (heads up if your not a adult ask your parents first!!)

Set multiple alarms

One alarm does not work for me; I turn it off and go back to sleep. So since I use my phone for my alarm, I set 2-4 alarms before the actual time I want to wake up. That way by the time I turn off the last alarm, as the last alarm is the time I originally wanted to wake up, I’m up.

For example, I have to wake up at 5:30 am when school starts. So along with my 5:30 alarm, I will set alarms for 5:15, 5:20, and 5:25. By the time I reach the 5:30 alarm that morning, I will not go back to sleep/ will be semi up becuase I had already woken up 3 times. It sounds crazy, but it works for me.

Also, if you use your phone for your alarm, choose the song your most into at the moment to be the alarm sound you wake up to. So instead of waking up to an annoying af rining/siren sound you’ll be waking up to your favorite song! I’ve been really loving the live action Beauty and the Beast soundtrack. If you also like the songs from the live action Beauty and the Beast, I would reccomend using the song Belle (not the repraise) for your alarm. It has this nice begining that’s very calm and peaceful which makes it a great song to wake up to.

Bedtime on iPhone

If you have an iPhone, in the clock app there is a section called bed time. It has you put in what time you need to wake up, how many hours of sleep you need, and how many days of the week you want the alarm set. It will then send you a reminder when you need to go to bed and have an alarm set for the time you need to wake up every day or for the days chosen. I’ve tried it and I think its a really cool feature.

Sit at the edge of your bed

This is a really weird tip, but I find that if I sent on the edge of my bed with my feet on the ground once I turn off my alarm, and I just sit there for a few seconds, it helps me wake up.

Go outside!

Once you wake up, going outside and exposing yourself to sunlight will help you feel more awake. Take a deep breath, enjoy that sunlight! Don’t do this if it’s all cloudy, mucky, and rainy, though. That would be a terrible way to start the day.

If all else fails..

Didn’t get enough sleep? You can always fake it. Puffy under eyes? Try ice cubes, chilled spoons, or slices of cucumber. Grab your concealer for those dark circles. Throw a k-cup into your keurig or make a pot of coffee. Have a cup and take some in one of those cute travel coffee mugs to school. Tea works, too. Nobody will know that you didn’t get enough sleep because you accidentally watched a whole season of Friends!

Whew, that was a lot of writing!

Again, I hope some of you benefit from this. I would be very happy if you did.

^if you wake up earlier than 5:30 am and find what I said sort of offensive, i’m sorry! I am a total night owl that does not like/struggles waking up early, and 5:30 is an hour earlier than the time I woke up for middle school. also sry for swearing, I just really hate getting up early.
