Hello everyone! So before we start I'd just like to remind y'all that the same thing doesn't work for everyone. So if these tips aren't for you, feel free to send me an ask and I'll be willing to help you out!

1) Clean your studyspace daily: Folks I'm not lying when I say that cleaning my desk a little bit every morning did wonders for me. First of all it helps you feel productive and personally, a neat desk makes me more inclined to study.

2) Keep a place to organise your thoughts: now by this I don't mean but a super expensive planner or start a bullet journal but (especially when you're super busy), write down things you have to do and just plan out your day a little. You can dedicate a small notebook for this purpose.

3) Have a good sleeping schedule: Don't vary your sleep schedule too much! Your body will hate you if sometimes you sleep at 8 and wake up at 6, whereas some days you sleep at 1 and wake up at 10. A good and fixed sleeping routine is great because your body will get used to it, and so will you!

4) Make sure you know what's going on with school/ your notes: Your notes or homework shouldn't be all over the place! Personally I like to keep one notebook per subject, and a rough notebook to take notes in class. Of course you could just use a good old binder.

5) Plan things out: Whether it's a party or exam season, planning never hurts! In my opinion planning gives you a good rough overview of things you need to get done.

A bud & I are doing an all-day study session at the library today. I got rejected from some internship opportunities, so now I gotta do some damage control and apply to as many as I can this weekend, oops. But I also got confirmation that I’ll be attending a hackathon later this month, and I’m super excited; it’s gonna be my first!

Welcome to the post you have all been waiting for so long! This was released a little late because I procrastinated on it, and also my test was yesterday so...

It was really hard for me to choose people, because y'all are so talented tbh so don't be upset if you are not chosen.

Also, you should definitely follow these people! They are super talented!

my sticker is me when i think about my responsibilities. but let’s just ignore them and color coordinate cute stationery.

I've noticed quite a few people have problems with this subject, so here's a little guide to help you manage chem!!

1) Realise that it's an understanding based subject: Most of the people I've talked to think chemistry is just learning, but it's really not. Everything is happening because of something and once you understand your basics, your brain will automatically start making links.

2) Know your basics: As I mentioned above, knowing your basics is the most important thing. If you don't have a clear base of how things work then you won't be able to understand properly & will just end up learning.

3) STOP LEARNING REACTIONS: Reactions aren't learning based either!!! There's a simple rule for each reaction and if you apply that and balance it, you'll get the required reaction. (Base + Acid -> Water + Neutral Salt). Of course there can be exceptions to this rule.

4) Become good at nomenclature: Nomenclature is a pretty big part of chemistry and it's not that hard! Know the rules of nomenclature and practice hard until you get the names of your compounds right everytime.
