idk bro, studying

Oh, this is actually a great question! I mean, desk is probably ideal because it¨s ergonomic and stuff, BUT you can actually make a study space anywhere! here are some ideas:

- If you’re comfortable sitting on the floor, you can take a blanket and some cushions and make a little cozy study nook :) This probably wouldn’t be ideal for writing notes, but great if you just need to revise - You can study in bed! I mean, it is said that your bed should be a place where you take rest so you shouldn’t work there because then you sort of connect working with your bed and might get trouble sleeping there or something but whatever, I do everything in my bed and still get sleep at night :D this might be great if you’re ill but still need to study. You just need some flat surface if you have to write notes and stuff, which can be simply a larger book - You can use any other desk - dining table, coffee table, beside table even, if you’re desperate :D or you can simply visit a coffee shop, get some nice latte and work there :)

- If the weather’s nice, you can take your studying outside! My friend an I did that one day, we just sat on the balcony with our laptops and wrote our essays, the sun was shining, birds were signing, it was amazing! :D you can go study to a park, find some nice place in your garden if you have it, or just sit on a bench.

Printable tapes 2 - Christmas

I promised you some cute Christmas themed tapes, and here they are! :D I really hope you like them because I loved making these! You can use some of these as individual stickers, or just as a whole. Of course you have to use glue or a special sticker paper, but hey, they still look as tapes once you put them in your bullet journal or anywhere, really! People have been asking what’s the point of these etc. - I basically answered it in this ask.

Again, don’t print this picture, download a pdf file from dropbox here:

And also, pleease tag me if you’re using them!! I love to see how you get creative with these :).
