Who cares if I'm pretty if I fail my finals?

Well… Not all studyblrs have macbooks (#notallstudyblrs). A macbook isn’t a required studying material, it’s just the common choice of laptop. You can totally use any kind of laptop you want! It’s your preference! Apple laptops are incredibly expensive, I would check Apple for refurbished computers, they tend to be a better deal (without having to worry about getting ripped off !!)

You don’t NEED a Macbook, or Fineliners, or a fancy planner to study well. All you need is motivation, determination and concentration. 

Re-writing the notes will also help with retention of information, because you’re thoroughly going through the information a second time.

It will also help you focus on the lecture instead of busying yourself with making tidy notes, especially if you’re like me and have very messy writing when you try to write quickly (or write anything at all really).
