#scholarcord

schedule making websites!! under the cut you’ll find four websites and some schedule templates that i have either found or made myself. 

welcome to rk800studies. run by a college student who loves quantic dream’s video game Detroit:Become Human way too much, along with the android Connor. I used to be in the studyblr community in the past and went by @urbexstudies & @xanarchystudies anyways, about me is below the cut!

School is approaching midterms now that we've hit October, which may be scaring some of our students... but never fear! Scholarcord is here to protect you from the spooky school spirits (haha, get it?)!

In the new #school-spirit channel for October let's take a moment to bring attention to a few key dates and themes of our ghostly month:

Field Trip Month: What fun! Everyone needs a break so why not plan a trip with some friends or maybe make some new ones with a trip with classmates? Share some suggestions for some fun field trips or maybe share some of your favorite trips you've been on!

OCT 1ST: FAFSA/CSS: FAFSA/CSS profile is out! If you're in the admissions process make sure you remember to fill these out for your applications!

OCT 5TH/14TH: World Teacher's Day: Make sure to thank your teachers for the hard work they put into your budding careers! Whether it be writing you a recommendation or just being one of your favorites make sure you let them know that they're appreciated during this stressful month. (Check in your country if this is celebrated on the 5th or 14th!)

OCT 10TH: World Mental Health Day: Even the spooky month is aware of its position in the school year. Make sure that you are still taking care of yourself in the middle of this semester. Your health comes before your grades and if a mental health day is needed, please take it! Let's also make sure that we're aware of mental health not only for ourselves but for others, too. If you see someone struggling offer a supportive ear or help bring awareness to mental health on your own social media.

OCT 20TH: World Statistics Day: Random, right? But what a great opportunity to get educated and become aware of some random thing in the world! Share a statistic that you learned recently that you think is interesting, even if it's completely random!

OCT 29TH: Internet Day: Scholarcord exists because of the internet so we feel it's probably appropriate to celebrate a little bit for such an amazing creation! Share what great things the internet has given you and the great uses you appreciate the most!

OCT 31ST: HALLOWEEN: Happy Halloween!! The Scholarcord team hopes you have lots of spooky fun with your candy, costumes, and parties... just make sure you're staying safe! Beware of spooky shenanigans and be aware!

I don’t remember if I ever did a proper introduction post, but I want to do one now.

Hello, you can call me Nad. I started this blog in 2015 right before starting uni. A friend of mine started a studyblr and I kept seeing a lot of useful study advice posts on my dash. I wanted a way to catalog them without flooding the likes on my then blog so I made a new account and this blog.

A lot has changed since then, so here’s a few things:

Academics:

I’m studying computer science

I’m a second year at university

I’ve switched universities once

I’m struggling

Hobbies:

I do art (abandoned art blog here that I promise I will resurrect soon-ish)

I play video games (I’m trying to play different genres)

As of a month ago I play D&D and I love it

I waste too much time watching TV shows (is that a hobby?)

General:

I’m Macedonian

Living in France

Polyglot

I have no idea what I want to do after uni, as a job or in general (Well I have several ideas, but I can’t decide on one thing)

This started off as a studyblr, but I’m not sure if it’s still that or if I want it to be just that. I want it to be a bit of a personal or a projects blog, just a place where I can dump all of my ideas and projects I might be working on. It’ll still have all the studyblr content, along with various educational or cool information, but it’ll also have these other things. I hope.

Regardless of how long you’ve been following this blog, (my ask is open so) come say hi, tell me about yourselves, I’d love to hear from you. Plus it’ll be nice to know this isn’t just a shout into the void.

Themes of September

International Strategic Thinking Month: Strategic thinking is a priceless skill to have because it is key to being successful in school, work, life, etc. but is often overlooked by many. Strategic thinking skills can be developed by playing strategy games like chess, sudoku, scrabble, and many more. Recommend some of your favorite strategy games that you like to challenge your brain with.

National Preparedness Month: Being prepared for every situation is the best way to stay on top of your game. Preparedness for school might include bringing extra stationary or a pair of headsets and being prepared for going out partly consists of bringing sunscreen, a bottle of water, and wearing a pair of comfy shoes. But the most important situation to prepare for is an emergency. During an emergency, it is important to have medical aid on hand to treat and injuries or other medical issues. The red cross has an informative page on this topic.

 National Recovery Month: If you’re someone who is going through recovery: You’re awesome and thank you for knowing you deserve to be healthy and happy. It is important to raise awareness for recovery related resources so that others can get the help they need. Making recovery an open conversation is the first step to fighting the stigma related to mental illness and addictions. More info on NRM here. Fighting a battle isn’t easy; it can be long and tiring but as long as you’re fighting you’re winning.

While we’re all still motivated to work hard on our studies and other responsibilities, it is important to take care of yourself above all. There are many ways to practice self-care even on a hectic school schedule but here are just a few:

Have at least one routine that you never compromise on. Whether it’s making that special tea in the morning or exercising before going to bed, never let anything get in the way of at least one of the things that help you maintain some of your sanity through the school year.

Reflect. Through the day we go through many emotions: stress, anxiety, relief, joy, etc. Reflect on all of these emotions and acknowledge that they’re there and why you feel them. Try recording your thoughts and feelings in a journal or even in an audio tape; unpacking your feelings into one place helps with understanding your emotions in a healthy way.
