#year 11 studyblr network

[alittlesucculentstudies-blog]

hey everyone, I am finally back (with a really terrible picture to start us off) 

This year has been hectic and I feel like I lost so much of myself and of this community because of it, but I’m feeling so much better and I am back!

Prelim exams are this week and next week and it’s pretty crazy

[physio--studies]

Digital Bujo

Just thought I might post last weeks August/September spread. This has been largely motivated by @studyblvsh and her one note bullet journal as well as inspired by @langblrstuff and their one note digital bujo. You should definitely check both of theirs out they're absolutely stunning and so detailed!

[ 1 1 - 5 - 2 0 1 8 ] an artist came in to teach us about still life painting at school! it was lovely and I feel like I learned a lot? it solidified a lot of stuff I’d been struggling to figure out on my own about structure and colour and tone and it was a really enriching experience. haven’t been working as hard as I could be. just got a job for the first time (woo!!) and I’m just desperately trying to adjust to that. also gonna try and go on a social media cleanse bc honestly I waste so much time on ig it’s ridiculous. 🎵 gooey - glass animals 🎵

You did brilliantly! Tips for someone starting y11 in September please??

Aww thank-you! My advice:• Laminate all your work so teachers can’t mark it • Sit next to the clever people in your class and copy their work • Stick googly eyes on your eyelids so teachers can’t tell when you’ve fallen asleep in class

Jk, please don’t do that • Don’t panic, I know it’s hard not to but I was left with only one day to revise my final exam and I still passed

• Revise a lot but don’t let it ruin you, your social life or your mental and physical health

• Know that it is possible to turn things around. At the start of year 11 I was incredibly depressed and suicidal, I was put on report and constantly in detention for not doing homework but with a lot of effort I managed to turn it all around towards the end of the year

• Pick a motto that speaks to you on a spiritual level, none of that “success is achievable when you believe in yourself” bullcrap you see on Facebook. For me, my motto came to me one night when I was jamming out to Missy Elliott and heard the line “just keep it going like the energizer bunny.” As weird as it sounds, it actually worked :D

• Set yourself up in a study space that works for you. For me, I could not concentrate at all in my bedroom so I started doing revision in the office and my grades just started getting better and better because I was able to concentrate in there.

•The aesthetic of your notes has no proportion to your grades, they don’t have to be pretty.

• Create or get into a class group chat, it was a golden revision tool for the people in my science class and I, I can honestly say that it helped so much. Also, our physics teacher very much endorsed it

• Be nice to teachers, you’ll need their help at some point

• You won’t get on with all teachers, that’s ok

• It will take some time to find a revision method that works for you, it doesn’t come straight away but once you find it, you’ll know it

• Do as many past papers as possible

• Be supportive of other students, congratulate them and tell them they’ll be able to do this, lend them a pen and help them with their work and the favour will be returned

But most importantly…• Get. A. Diary. And. Use. It

That was a lot but I hope it helped and good luck next year!

new studyblr!

hello, i’m alice from sydney, australia and i’m currently in year 11. i’m new to the studyblr community and decided to join in hopes of motivating me to study more efficiently and achieve better grades.

here’s a little about myself:

the subjects i currently take are: advanced and extension 1 english, legal studies, modern history, biology, pdhpe and french beginners.

my favourite subjects are legal studies and english. my least favourite subject is maths (bc i suck at it) and you can probably tell as i didn’t choose it as one of my subjects.

i’m planning on dropping biology and pdhpe in year 12 and picking up extension 2 english instead. (yay 4u english!)

i plan on getting into university and studying either criminology and criminal justice/law or international studies/communications and media.

i’m looking for studyblrs to follow so follow me and i’ll gladly follow back! also feel free to send me a message and become friends with me!

What to do when you feel overwhelmed:

We’ve all been there. Too many tasks, too little time. So much to do, yet yo have no motivation and no idea where to start. 

Step 1: Songs 

Find two songs that make you really happy, or that make you feel on top of the world. Can’t think of any? Here’s the link to a playlist on Spotify of songs for when you feel down 

Step 2: Shower 

Put your phone somewhere you can hear it and go and have a nice long shower and belt out those songs. And if you have some sort of coffee scrub or really nice smelling soap, get that out. It will wake you up and make you feel better. 

Step 3: Pep-Talk 

Stand there for like a minute and fake the attitude you want to feel. Tell yourself that you can do this and you can get through this. Tell yourself that you are going to work hard and try your absolute best. (I also like to tell myself to be like Hermione, or Elle Woods)

Step 4: Drink something 

Go make yourself a drink. Water, chocolate milk, lemonade, a smoothie, juice. Anything. 

Step 5: Down to Business 

Okay you got this. Put that drink on a table and get out a piece of paper and write down everything you have to do, or everything that’s stressing you/ overwhelming you. Now write out what your week looks like, and it’s time to get to work. 

Work out how much time you have for each task left, and allocate certain time slots to complete different tasks. So you might study for maths from 4-5pm on Monday etc. It makes it so much better to see everything on paper 

Step 6: Finally 

Sit down and complete at least one smallish task. It might be a paragraph of an essay or sending an email. Anything. I promise if you finish at least one thing and then give yourself a break, you will feel so much better. 

Remember!!! We all have times that you have so much going on and all you want to do is curl up into a ball and cry and scream. But you can get through this. Remember why you’re trying. Prove to yourself that you can do it. ily all xoxo - tee
