I thought I would share some advice for the upcoming seniors in their college process! It’s a lot of work, but trust me, it is rewarding. Open for better quality and message me if you have any questions or you just want to rant about how ridiculously tedious the college process is

Goodbye June, Hello July! 🤗🎉

You know what that means…It’s time for your monthly reflection! 📝

Tomorrow is National Voter Registration Day, Tumblr.

This might possibly be the most high-stakes election ever, and ultimately it comes down to one thing: Actually voting.

That’s why we’re making it easy for you to help people register to vote.

There’s a new switch in your web dashboard, over in the right column. Turn it on, and anyone who visits your blog tomorrow will be shown a popover offering to get them registered to vote. It’ll stay there until Tuesday the 27th, 11 p.m. Eastern, across all your Tumblrs (if you have more than one), ready to take anyone who visits your Tumblr over to the official National Voter Registration Day site and get them all set up. You can turn it off at any time.  

Only 57.5% of eligible voters actually voted in the last election. And only 42% of eligible 18–29 year-olds. What’s at stake? Oh, just gun violence, racial justice, the Supreme Court, education, a living wage, health care, clean water, immigration, the war on drugs, legal weed, access to abortion, national security, the gender gap, trans rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and the right to love who you love.

So, seriously, help people register to vote.

And while you’re at it…

how to start studying after school

clean up your desk: it’s hard to concentrate when there’s a pile of rubbish on your desk. the chance of you fiddling with things is also higher! you’ll get more done by cleaning your desk! if you’re looking for an easy way to organise your desk, check out these handy organisers!

get your books: get out all the books you need to study that particular subject. if it’s geography, an atlas might be handy.

get a notebook: if you’re in uni or college it’s a good idea to re-write all your notes for your classes that day. make them look clean and tidy. if you’re in secondary school and you’re studying for a test, summarize everything you have learned. in any case, it’s best to have a few notebooks on your desk too. here’s a 4 pack of spiral notebooks for $7.04!

grab some pens: seems self explanatory! i recommend you having an ordinary pen, a highlighter and a pencil on hand. (a.k.a. the basics!) here are some super cute gel pens!

turn off your phone: by turning off your phone, you will get less distracted by social media. sure, people won’t be able to reach you but you’ll get some peace and quiet. obviously leave it on if you’re expecting an important call!

look for a study playlist: if you easily get distracted by your laptop too, skip this step. i personally find it harder to get distracted by my laptop than my phone, so i leave it on and look for some music to study to. here’s a masterpost of some good playlists to listen to!

get a glass of water: you really need your h2o, everyone. grab a large glass or fill up a water bottle. some super cute ones: i ii iii

get a healthy snack: if you’re like me and you love snacking on things while your studying, the best thing to do is to grab something healthy. cut up some apples and sprinkle some cinnamon on them (try it. it’s amazing.), grab some hummus and some celery or carrots or cucumber to dip in it, fill a little bowl with nuts, treat yourself to a square of dark chocolate! if you’re studying during dinner time or lunch time, make yourself a nourishment bowl to nibble on. for more study snack ideas, go to pinterest and snoop around the study snack tag for a while. try out my favourite smoothie bowl too!

take a deep breath: i know from personal experience that sometimes the workload can be really scary and freak you out. the most important thing to do is to take a deep breath and to tell yourself you can get through all your work. you can do anything if you try hard enough!
