day 2/30

do you prefer to study alone or with friends?

when i have to do reading or i need to write papers for a class, i like to do that alone. i definitely like doing more problem-solving based hw (math, physics, other sciences) with friends though. usually i like it best when we all are working on problems quietly on our own but we are all working at the same time so we can ask for help easily if necessary.

today i...

cleaned my bookshelf (sorted through a bunch of old books to give to my sister / donate)

caught up on some calc notes (photo above)

did a few calc hw problems

started watching my calculus lecture

[DAY 3-5 OF 100 DAYS OF PRODUCTIVITY]

I've now finished all the Maths work, and just have to watch the Edrolo videos for the chapter, the only problem is that there's over 2 hours of videos for the chapter. But it's taken less time than I thought it would to get through the homework, which is great!

16. Do you prefer binders or notebooks and folders?

I like notebooks better, binders end up getting too uncomfortable for me and I always forget to clean them out :/

17. What are some of your favorite studyblrs?

I can only remember a few urls but here we go: @phoebe-does @journals-and-journeys @adelinestudiess @gloomstudy @studytommorow @a-students-lifebuoy @obsidianstudy @athenastudying @booksandgeckos, there's a lot more but those are the only ones I can remember haha

18. How do you like to take notes? What method is your favorite?

I use the Cornell note taking method, but only because my school expects that. If I can use any method I want, I just use my own. It makes it easier for me to understand.

April Study Challenge

Day 9: What’s your study space like?

Oh no, I’ve been exposed.  Yup, I don’t have a white desk.  I’ve been using a white presentation board all along, just to fit in with the white studyblr aesthetic haha.  I really don’t like using this wooden monstrosity for studyblr pics because mom put a plastic sheet over the surface to protect the wood finish (well, I guess that’s where I got the perfectionism).

And yes, I need to two mugs, one clearly labeled “NOT FOR DRINKING” (the all-caps is necessary) because I’m pretty sure paint water is gross.  The brown board my current project is sitting on is actually the cardboard off the back of a Bristol paper pad.  I used to cover my desk with newspapers or brown paper for art projects.  Those two feathers in the jar of Mildliners are peacock feathers I picked up on a walk last week (might make them into quills, which would be really cool).

04.01.18 || Easter Sunday

[Day 1: April Study Challenge]

Happy Easter, y’all!

I’ve decided to try out the April Study Challenge this year since I just started to get into my studyblr again.

Day 1: How do you stay motivated?

Sometimes it’s hard for me to become, or even stay motivated, because my personality fluctuates a lot between studying, athletics, hanging out with friends, or just having the energy to do stuff. Recently, I’ve been in a very motivated mood to continue my diet journey (I’ve dropped 20 pounds in 2.5 months) and I’ve been very motivated lately to workout and lift weights daily. For me, living at home as a sophomore in college helps a lot because my mom is probably the biggest and best cheerleader in my life and helps me daily to stay motivated and remembering why I’m in school and studying.

Day 23: What gets you out of bed in the morning?

THE FEAR OF FAILURE
