studyblr

☞About Me

Salutations! My name’s Ryder, I love tea, I’m double-jointed, I just turned fourteen, I live in Hong Kong (which is not China!), and I currently am in Form Four (10th grade for Americans). My handwriting is unfortunately quite messy, but I’m trying my best to whip it into shape! I love poetry/prose and I have a writeblr ( @spitefuelsquills​ ). I’m Eurasian and very, very mixed. I like punk rock bands like My Chemical Romance, Pierce the Veil, Mindless Self Indulgence and World War Me. I’d like to be both a novelist and a journalist some day!

☞My Classes + Extracurriculars

I’m in the yearbook club at my school, and this year I managed to make it as Chief Editor!

My electives are Literature in English and Business Management

My core subjects are French (C’est très super!), Math (My worst subject), Liberal Studies and Religious Studies (I go to a Christian School)

☞Hobbies

My favourite movie genre is psychological horror, and I love watching these kinds of movies e.g Donnie Darko, Suicide Room. My favourite movie directors are Tim Burton, Guillermo del Tormo, and Alfred Hitchcock, not necessarily in that order.

I like to play guitar and I prefer picking over strumming, and I tend to lean towards playing bass.

I have a passion for writing, which started out when I wrote fanfiction from the age of nine. I also like to role-play, but I’m not going to link my account here because… no.

I like to draw but I’m terrible at it

I like to read, and I learned to read before I said my first word

You can be a positive, good force in this world! It doesn’t take much. For me (and small fish), making someone smile is a huge accomplishment!

『 masterpost 1/15 for 1.5k appreciation! 』

my goal for this summer is to become much more focused on posting frequent original content–whether it be masterposts, photos or quotes. but as this seems to be a rather common goal among studyblrs, i thought it would be fun to share a list of 25 original content ideas for your studyblr (that you can steal!).

1. stationery masterpost (list of all of your favorite and most used stationery!)

2. “what to do with your studyblr during summer” post (name some things and content to post on your studyblr to stay active on tumblr over the summer)

3. tutorial (ex: how i take notes, how i design printables, how i stay productive etc.)

4. self-care masterpost (list some ways that you use to calm down, relax and take care of yourself when you’re stressed or feeling down)

5. study playlist (name some of your favorite study tunes *cough* kpop *cough* and perhaps even link to a spotify playlist with the songs added to it!)

6. “how to start a studyblr” (share some of your best tips for newbie studyblrs!)

7. story (share a story that might be motivating, inspiring or helpful for others to hear–it can be anything from how you moved on from a bad grade, a time when you worked hard for something you wanted, or anything else that could be inspiring!)

8. challenge (start up your own challenge! it can be anything pertaining to studyblr! ex: the 30 days of bujo challenge, the summer productivity challenge etc.)

9. studyspo pics (this one is pretty obvious, but it never hurts to post pics of your notes, stationery and whatnot over the summer, even if you’re not actually taking any intensive, rigorous courses over the summer)

10. book recs (since people tend to do a lot of reading over the summer, give your fellow studyblrs a list of your favorite books that you think they should try out!)

11. movie/TV show recs (same with the book recs, but with movies or TV shows instead)

12. quotes (whether you make up some quotes yourself, or take some from the internet, posting inspiration like this on tumblr can be extremely motivating to people who might see it!)

13. “studyblr on a budget” (there seems to be a myth that in order to be a successful studyblr, you need to have fancy, expensive stationery. and that is 100% not true! share some of your tips for budget studyblrs!)

14. “what i wish i had known about/before _____” (ex: what i wish i knew before my first year of uni, what i wish i knew about pre-calc, what i wish i knew before my first job interview etc.)

15. how to prepare for b2s (what are some of your tips for preparing to go back to school? any specific things/steps people should do/follow before heading back?)

16. “how to self-teach _____” (ex: how to teach yourself french, the best resources for learning chinese on your own etc.)

17. “how to be more productive” (share what methods you use to stay more productive! ex: how i use the pomodoro technique to be more productive, how to be more productive when you’re tired etc.)

18. sleep masterpost (it seems like as students, we’re all doomed to be eternally tired! share some tips for getting enough sleep, sleeping well, waking up quickly, and staying awake throughout the day!)

19. apps masterpost (what apps do you regularly use as a student? google drive? evernote? goodnotes? photomath? list all of them in a masterpost!)

20. printables (try your hand at making some printables! to-do lists, monthly/weekly calendars, and test-prep sheets are all great printables to make!)

21. icons (people love free icons! i have a tutorial on how to make your own flat icons right over here.

22. “how to fight boredom over the summer” (share a list of some ways to stay un-bored over the summer!)

23. blog awards (offer a blog awards on your studyblr, and award some of your fave studyblrs!)

24. blog reviews (have people send you asks, and then review their studyblrs and give them kind and honest feedback!)

25. giveaway (if you have the funds and the resources to hold a giveaway, it might be a fun way to connect with more people in the studyblr community! if you can’t afford stationery or something, then try offering a digital prize–like a free icon or logo pack or something!)

welp, that was it! i hope you found this helpful!
