Kinetics Took Me Forever To Understand But It Is An Aesthetic

13/01/19 - Flying to Berlin

So this trip is an important one for me as someone with major anxiety when travelling. When I got on this plane I was 17 years and 364 days old, it was my first time without family or school and I had only my best friend to keep me company. I planned this and paid for it all myself.

Today it is the 14th January and I am 18 years old today. We have today to explore the city and do whatever we want. I’m going to make this fantastic.

Yes I am anxious, especially about trains because they scared me yesterday. But I know if we stay in well-populated areas and exercise common sense we will be just fine.

Welcome to the studyblr community, Nat 😊

hi tumblr !! i’m a new studyblr :) my name is nat, i live in england and i’m in year 13 studying maths, german, economics and politics 🌻 i want to be the prime minister someday and i thought making a studyblr would motivate me to get the grades :) (A*AA yikes) any support is appreciated SO much and i hope someone will pls be my friend 🦋✨

Fellow newbie yay

Reblog if you’re a studyblr, I’m new to the community and want to follow more people :)

This is a sideblog, though, so I’ll follow you from my main account (davesprlte)

4/10/19 Waiting for lectures

Today has been a fairly lecture heavy day but this is my last one! I’ve had this lecturer once already today and I’m loving this part of the course.

Tonight, I’ll do some reading on MO theory. I really want to understand the maths more deeply... it’s so interesting and probably not as scary as it looks!

Hey! Love your page. I love all your notes and it reminds me of mine! I love to spend each day learning the subjects (chemistry, physics and maths) especially maths and physics because they offer huge new challenges. I’m intrigued to know what your favourite topic in chemistry is though?

Thank you so much! I am a sucker for anything organic - particularly when you’re dealing with aromatic compounds as well as aliphatic and alicyclic ones :)

Absolutely! I don’t have a MacBook - I have a seven-year-old, slow and slightly broken HP laptop that has served loyally as a faithful study companion. I have mildliners, yes - but not because everyone else has them. I have them because I actually like them!

I take the time to write up my notes neatly because they go into a folder that is inspected by my teachers - we get told off if we put scruffy work in. But I make them more aesthetic as a way of assimilating information and having a productive way to chill out.

The whole point of having a studyblr for me was to keep on track for my personal targets. If those targets were straight Cs instead of straight A*s it wouldn’t be any less valid.

I don’t have muji pens or the finest notebooks - I save up and buy some of my favourite Pentel Energel pens whenever I can because they are actually fairly expensive as pens go and I sure as hell wouldn’t buy them at all just because everyone else is raving about them. Otherwise, it’s a cheap notebook for me all the way - because guess what? The paper you use doesn’t impact the quality of your notes.

You do what’s right for you, studyblrs of the world.

Your aesthetic does not invalidate the quality of your account.

call for change: studyblrs

I have had this blog for about a year now, and I’ve come to realise the unattainable perfection of studyblrs. I created this account to motivate and educate myself and I feel as though these ‘perfect study notes’ hold unrealistic expectations. This is why I have decided to post things that are more realistic, educational and have a positive impact on the community. Please reblog this to spread the message: You do not need perfect notes, every stationary item, a macbook, top grades or an aesthetic study space to be a studyblr. All you need to do is do the best you can.

A Level hell has finally begun haha

Physical chemistry wasn’t so bad

Second year is over - I managed to reach my goal of straight firsts and I’m super proud of myself!

Now, I have a guitar that has sat neglected for the best part of a semester that needs some attention…

04/10/18 - 22/100 days of productivity

I quite like the combination of typing and then hand decoration. We are studying Das Leben Der Anderen in German and I’m making character notes. I’m going to move onto maths soon though.

I’m not having a great day, because my bus didn’t turn up and so I was late to school and very stressed this morning - I plan my day to the minute to stave off my anxiety and if it doesn’t go exactly to plan I can’t help getting upset. However, I have taken steps to calm down and I am being quite productive!
