chaos

- staying up late in the dark reading wikipedia articles on obscure topics on your phone

- researching random things that caught your interest instead of paying attention to your zoom classes/ doing homework

- reading during zoom classes

- checking daily if your local library reopened

- notes app poetry at 4 am

- reading by candlelight at night just because lamps are too bright and you might get caught by your parents

- waking up early to watch the sunrise before online school

- developing a coffee addiction over quarantine

A song that reminds you of your childhood

A song to sleep to

A song that your best friend loves

A song that hypes you the fuck up

A song you like to daydream to

A song that’s on at least 3 of your playlists

A song that you love from a genre you don’t usually like

A song that you liked when you where 10 that still slaps

A song that makes you want to go on an adventure

A song you’d want to dance with your partner to ( or future partner )

A song to stomp around and pout to

A song to listen to whilst you lie in a meadow

A song that reflects your views on love

A song to sing to the sun

A song you like that sounds like its on the soundtrack to an indie coming of age film

A song that you like that romanticises being a teenager

A song that makes you want to grab your friends jump up and down dancing and screaming the lyrics

A song that you like that the lyrics are just so beautiful they’re practically poetry

A song that you can imagine listening to in an abandoned church ( if it isn’t hozier im judging you, but whatever )

A song from the soundtrack of a film that you like so much after the film finished you immediately looked for it

A song for when the sun has gone down and you are feeling absolutely buck-wild with exhilaration!

A song that makes you feel like you’re strolling through Ancient Greece living your best life

A song that when you listen to it you’re transported to a liminal space, time is pointless and you must sit and wallow in the void that remains

Here’s the November Studyblr Challenge! Sorry for the delay in bringing it, but the last two weeks have been very uncertain for me - especially with studying - because of the student protests in my country. I’m going to busy with exams during November, so I won’t be as active on tumblr, but I will try my best to reblog your studyblr challenge posts as usual and of course take part in the challenge :)  I’ve put together a mix of study-intensive challenges and “fun challenges”, but I’ve made some of the study-intensive challenges more general than they were last month. I also saw a few comments from people saying that they felt the challenge was dominating what they wanted to post on their blog and I totally understand that. So I just want to re-emphasis that there’s no pressure for anyone to “complete” the challenge or post something for it every day - please, post whatever you want on your blog and I’m obviously really happy when it’s for the challenge, but there really is no obligation to stick to the challenge every day for anyone. I’m still learning about how to run these challenges and how to improve them, so I welcome all constructive criticism and I really appreciate hearing how people feel about the challenges 

**I’d also just like to point out that when it comes to the study-intensive challenges, if it’s something that you know does not work well for you personally, then you should rather spend that time filling up the challenge with something that DOES work for you and I’ll reblog it anyway. Everyone has their own, unique way of studying and learning. But, if it’s something you’ve never tried before and you want to give it a shot please do try it out!**

The same “rules” that applied for the previous challenges apply for the November challenge. Interpret the prompt for the day in any way you like. Textpost, pictures, gifs, videos…whatever your heart desires. You can do as few or as many of the challenges as you feel - there’s no signing up or obligation involved - just tag your challenge posts with #munirastudychallenge or #november studyblr challenge and I’ll reblog them :)

If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to ask me! My ask and my inbox are always open. Happy studying!
