There Should Be A Thing Like Comic-con But For Languages. There’d Be Booths Which Sell Language Books

There should be a thing like Comic-con but for languages. There’d be booths which sell language books and dictionaries, some with natives talking about culture, talks about indigenous languages. And when you enter you’re given some badges saying which languages you speak. Aaand there could also be some mini introduction courses to languages… Omg I need this

Here Are 5 Of The Big Things I’ve Learned Over The Past Two Years And Also Recently During Exams! I

here are 5 of the big things i’ve learned over the past two years and also recently during exams! i feel like i’ve come so far as a student in terms of studying, work ethic and self-discipline, so i wanted to share all the important tips i learned and will definitely re-use in the coming years :)

1: the best way to find your preferred study method is through trial and error

if you are given the chance of taking an end of unit/topic test that doesn’t count towards your final grade, use it to test out revision techniques and find out which one is best for you! throughout all of year 10 i tried different things forevery test i had from simply notes to mind maps to flashcards and to summary sheets in the attempt to find the perfect study method for me. doing this early on in your course where smaller tests don’t really matter is the perfect opportunity for taking risks; this is why it’s called trial and error. some techniques won’t work for you, and you might get a bad grade, but that is how you learn! then, when you get exams that really matter, you’ll know exactly what to do to achieve that dream grade. (although, i understand that in some countries every test counts to your final grade- a work around for this would be to give yourself a mock test deadline if you really want to find out which study method suits you best)

2: self-discipline (rather than motivation) takes time and practice

motivation is temporary; self-discipline is long-lasting. there are a million articles on how to boost motivation, but if you want to develop a consistent work ethic it’s really important to have self-discipline. of course, this can be really hard to achieve; but establishing your goals and sticking to them is crucial. start a study schedule with a corresponding self-care routine (this can be anything from skincare to stretching to journaling) as well as some leisure time and try to stick to it! don’t beat yourself up if you find it hard at the beginning; just remind yourself of your goals, be clear on what you want in the future, and start again. over time it’ll get easier to get up, work hard, and eventually achieve your goals 🤓(also try my study tracker if you need help planning/overviewing your week )

3: active recall is crucial!

i’ve watched many people (myself included) put endless hours in studying and come out with lower grades than they were expecting- while it isn’t always the case, what i’ve noticed is that reading the textbook and making notes from it will help you understand the topic and make you feel like you know everything, but when it comes to recalling specific info it doesn’t really work. although there are some people who can just read the textbook and all the detail is easily deposited into their brain (ugh), for most people an active recall technique is needed. if you hate flashcards, don’t worry! there are plenty of different methods like blurting, teaching others, repeating things out loud until you can say it without looking, solving questions/worksheets etcetera. over time, your brain gets better and better at memorizing and learning that hopefully by the time your exams roll around you’ll be able to recall everything you need 😊

4: create study resources as you are going through your course

this is probably slightly obvious, but so many times during this exam season i’ve kicked myself for not making sets of flashcards or mind maps sooner. instead of making these things and taking huge chunks of time doing passive revision, i could be practicing them and memorizing instead! one of the best things to do during your course when you have free time is to sit down, open the specification/syllabus/textbook and make study resources that you’ll be able to confidently use during exam season. ideally, you could make them after finishing each topic/unit in class, with as much specific information that you think is relevant. it is so much faster to condense flashcards, mind maps or summary sheets when exams come around rather than to have to make whole new ones because there wasn’t enough detail/information.

5: if you are given a specification or syllabus, use it!!

my favorite teacher always told us that our specs should be printed out, annotated, highlighted, and worn from so much use; i didn’t really heed his advice until right before exams, but it was probably the best advice i ever received for the sciences. your specification/syllabus literally tells you everything that might be in the exam, so use it! print them out at 85% so that you have enough margin space to scribble; i used a traffic light method where i highlighted things i knew well in green, things that i needed to revise a bit further in orange and stuff that i really don’t understand and needed to study in red. if you’re struggling to grasp the content within your subject or feel like you’ve got gaps in your knowledge, this method literally points out your strengths and weaknesses for you!

“I was meant to help, not hurt.”

“You don’t have to be so gentle with my hand. You can squeeze it if you want.”

“I was attempting to be poetic. Did it not work?”

“When the sky is a dark blue and the city lights almost hurt my eyes, I feel at ease.”

“It’s so hot outside, I’m more puddle than human.”

“Stop flirting with my roommate. They’re a villain!”

Study Break Ideas!

* go on a quick walk or run!

* there are good yoga videos on Youtube that are 5-30 minutes long, just enough time to give your mind a break! some of my favorites are 

Quick Stress Fix - 5 Minute Sequence (5 minutes)

Yoga For Focus & Productivity - 10 min practice (10 minutes)

12 Min Yoga For Brain Power | Yoga With Adriene (12 minutes)

Stress Melt - 26 Min Yoga Break | Yoga With Adriene (26 minutes)

* draw something! 

* watch youtube or a quick episode of the office (ONLY ONE EPISODE I KNOW IT’S HARD) 

* tidy up the space you’re working in! This can help you clear your mind and come back with more focus. 

* go get a snack and water—always make sure to stay hydrated! 

* call a relative or friend who you haven’t seen in a while (especially college people, talking to someone you love can be such a stress reliever, and you always have the excuse that you need to study in case the conversation goes on too long. you can also complain to them)

* dance party—my personal favorite. great stress reliever. 

* watch a cool TedTalk or numberphile video! 

How to build your confidence – and spark it in others | Brittany Packnett

Mindset is Everything | Cole Bennett | TEDxUIUC

The Magic of Not Giving a F*** | Sarah Knight | TEDxCoconutGrove

How to Get Your Brain to Focus | Chris Bailey | TEDxManchester

and the master playlist: The 20 Most-Watched TEDTalks

* when all else fails, BuzzFeed quizzes.

rare feelings

being completely immersed into a book as if you’re watching a movie

being able to study for a long time without being distracted

wandering upon a scent that reminds you of a distant memory from your childhood that you haven’t smelled for years and years

the freedom of letting yourself do something badly (like art or learning) and knowing you’re progressing every day

being completely happy despite the bad things because you remember every little good thing and kind person in your life

stargazing in a remote landscape and feeling existentially precious and insignificant at the same time

waking up early enough to see the darkness turn to sunrise 

finding someone who is radiant in every way

being consistent with a goal you’ve been working on for the longest time and seeing the finished result

knowing that one chapter of your life has ended and a better one is beginning

a lengthy intro post ><

I'm currently going through my archive and I just realized how I've never actually did an intro post? (Maybe I did but I can't see it so it doesn't exist anymore <3)

Anyways, hello! I'm Sunny, a college student from the ph! Quick facts:

I was born in 2001

I'm a Libra sun and my MBTI is INFP/INTP

I'm into various interests (films, reading, K-pop, recently fs and whatever my mind decides interesting)

I'm a heavy procrastinator ._.

I've been in the studyblr community since 2017 but I didn't really post a lot of stuff because I felt like it was "too productive" for me. I kept on seeing posts with pretty journals, tons of pens, aesthetic desk set-ups, and I kept telling myself that I should be at that level as well. If I don't have nice pens, nice desk set-ups, and nice journals then I'm not a studyblr.

These past years in the pandemic literally shattered who I am as a student, and I just felt so lost. I've been in a tough place and I really cannot care less about my academics. I flunked a lot of classes, argued a lot with my mom, and was just all around negative towards my studies. I'm not proud of it, but I know that I did what I could've.

I'm trying to be better now, though! Hence, why I'm here! I realized that I don't really have to be a certain 'way' to use a studyblr. I should be fine-tuning this platform for me, use it as what I need it and not the other way around. Sure, studyblrs can become an inspiration, but I now know that I don't have to be the same as them.

I'm still trying to rebuild myself as a student, hopefully this time with a stronger foundation! Please, feel free to hit me up! :D I'd love to have friends who can motivate me and I can motivate as well T__T I'm also in studytwt!

study/blrs that I've followed through out the years: emmastudies / tbhstudying / noodledesk / eintsein / studynostalgic and many more!!
