Hey everyone! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on here...oops. I’ve been very busy, and for my comeback I’ve decided I’m going to post a video. It will be a “holiday weekend in my life” video. In it I will be talking about

-study timelapses

-how I’m setting up my bullet journal for a crazy semester (20 credits while working 20 hours a week+extracurriculars. pls send help)

-cleaning timelapses??

Hey.

It’s been a while, I know. How’s things?

To be completely honest, I’m uncertain as to what I want to do with this platform anymore.

I was a student when I started this blog. I look back at the list of things that I wanted to do, and the things that worried me.

And now? 

What happens you get thrust from the proverbial womb of academia to the rat race hell that is the “real world”? 

Well, in many ways, a lot. 

And yet, my insecurities remain a familiar shadow.

TL;DR I’m now @byelaw on wordpress, and @lawsbye on insta and twitter.

Come and say hi, and let me know how you’re going.

Hi everyone! My name is Elle, and this is my new studyblr account! When I was younger, I attempted to make a studyblr under @writerandscientist under the name Em, but that kind of failed HAHAHAHAHA. So here I am, back again with a fresh start with my new studyblr, studypurple!

Here are some fun facts about me:

I’m 15 years old, entering grade 11 in high school.

I go to a science high school in the Philippines, meaning that i am required to take a science-related course in the future

My main classes for grade 11 are biology and chemistry.

I love reading books and writing, and I’m currently reading Everyday by David Levithan.

I also love music, and I’m currently into musicals (chat me if you wanna talk about heathers, be more chill, newsies, mamma mia, into the woods and more!)

I’m currently watching b99, the flash and the good place (chat me if you wanna talk about those too!) i also watched the librarians, santa clarita diet, trinkets and a series of unfortunate events hehehe

some studyblrs i admire include:

(part 2) I've only forgotten to turn in a few assignments that i'm unable to make up. It's just hard to focus on classes i'm good at, you know? I just don't want to fail because I got a big head. I mean, I'm proud of myself, because like I said, I study a lot better in the classes that I NEED to. I have a B+ in each of those classes. (Which is a big improvement from last year's confused-as-fudge child) But I just don't have time for English and History, and all I see is "oh study more"

Hmmmm, a bit of a bitter pill to swallow, but are you really sure you’re good at a subject that you’re getting Ds in? Or is that just your ego? 🤔 You can be naturally gifted in a certain area, but if you’re not paying attention in class or revising it, you’ll still perform badly. It’s like the saying goes, 

hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard

Honestly it’s all about balance, not about studying more. Like I mentioned before, I used to be really good at understanding concepts in biology and agriculture but had absolutely no talent in English, so I spent about 3 times more time on English than I did in other subjects -- 

Pseudomaths, but 3 times 0 is 0. My point is there’s no use in studying excessively in 1 subject and not doing anything for another subject, because you end up shooting yourself in the foot like you’ve done now, and get a B+ in Algebra/Biology and Ds in History/English. 

It’s much better if you take a bit off time off Algebra/Biology and get B- in them and As in History/English. 

Use a diary if you’re forgetting to turn in assignments - you’re not paying attention in History/English if you don’t even remember when assignments are due. Let the diary do the work for you instead. 

If one of the subjects has homework every night then you need to schedule the time into your study sessions. I’d advise you to do it as soon as you get home and then forget about it if you hate thinking about it so much.
