#study-blr

Hi, my name is Sharon, I am from Mexico and I am a high school sophomore. 

I love to read and paint, even if I am not very good at it ;)

I was inspired to start this studyblr because I want to get more organized

My inspiration and favorite studyblrs are:

Studying in real life

Inspired by this post by the amazing @universi-tea, I took a photo of my desk this morning while I was studying. It’s nothing to write home about, but it’s the reality. Sometimes (a lot of the times) studying is not glamorous, perfect and something you want to share with the world. Sometimes, it’s working so much on so many things all at once while going to school, work and trying to have a life, that you don’t have the energy or motivation to make everything look pretty.

🌿 On monday and tuesday I have my re-examinations for biology, math and Dutch (which I am so scared for 'cause this time I have to get an 6.5 :\ )

🌿 My final exams start in may and they are so close. Hopefully I will slay them ;)

🌿 Also I wanted to order those Muji pens BUT the shipping costs are so expensive

Hi everyone!  ♥

I’ve decided to share with you some tips that helped me beating test anxiety.

I know how disappointing and disturbing it is when you’re in front of your paper and you start shaking and sweating because you can’t remember anything you’ve learnt. In grade 9 and 10 (IT: prima e seconda liceo) it happened continually, mostly in maths and physics tests. Then, all alone, I’ve learnt how to smash it.

1. Be sure you’ve firmly grasped everything you need to know

This is the first mistake we make while studying for a test. After reading all the information, we often believe we’ve got it. Maybe we actually have but that’s not enough and going through the test we notice it and panic.

The only way to be 100% (or maybe, more realistically, 90%) ready is knowing the topic in depth.

Suggestion 1: If there’s something, even a little thing, you haven’t understood, you’re not done studying.

Suggestion 2: If you’re not sure whether you’re ready or not, try to explain the topic to sb else (a friend, a parent, sb online or even a fictitiuos one).

2. Don’t talk to panicking people

Even if we’re calm, there’s always that one friend/classmate who’s super anxious. I know you probably want to help them but listen to me, till you haven’t beaten anxiety completely, don’t talk to them before tests. Without noticing, they’ll drag you in the anxiety vortex.

3. Stay positive: teachers are not man-eaters (even if some look so)

Erase the idea teachers want you to fail. It’s not true. They want you to pass b/c, remember, your success is their success. So, convince yourself: ‘I’m gonna pass this test because it was made for me to pass it.’. Changing your vision of teachers can really help you succeed, trust me.

4.  Remember: if you fail a test, you won’t be a failure

A test can be important but at the end it’s just a freaking test. Failing it doesn’t mean failing your entire life. This will let you be more relaxed and you’ll surely do better.

5. Don’t look at your mates during the test

Sometimes we instinctively look at others during the test:

1) it’s a waste of time

2) you lose your focus

3) if they’re faster than you, you’ll get anxious. Being fast doesn’t necessary mean making a good test.

So, these are five tips that really helped me improve my marks beating my test anxiety. Hope you find them useful!

I still have some more practical tricks to share with you. So like and reblog and let me understand if you want the 2nd part of this post.

Love you all, keep up the great work! ♥

As school’s just begun I don’t have that much homework, so today I decided to review yesterday’s modern physics notes. I’m really interested in this new topic and generally thrilled for my last year of high school.

I hope this time I’ll really be able to keep up w/o falling behind with every single subject.
