#studyblr notebook

Hi! Thanks for the ask! 🖤🌿

I use a few different brands:

Moleskine grid softcover - this is my personal journal, and I love it. Great quality and works really well for all the stuff I put in it. Minimalist and functional, main downside is price. 

Paperage dotted journal - this is my bullet journal. It’s very cheap, and decent quality for the price, but it’s only on Amazon. 

Lemome eco-notebook - this is my art journal. It’s made of cork and isn’t perfectly eco-friendly (and it’s also only on Amazon), but it is a great notebook for bullet journaling and such. 

Dingbats earth journal - this is my writing journal. It’s my favourite so far I think- really great quality and while dingbats isn’t a perfect company, they do use vegan leather on their covers, reduce some of their production waste, and donate to WWF-UK (also not a perfect organisation, but hey).

it's fall break at my university right now, so i'm just relaxing while completing some readings for my asian studies class. i'm still behind, but i'm slowly catching up and will be done by the time fall break ends! doing readings while having the skyrim soundtrack play in the background just...makes me feel some type of way. it's relaxing, yet motivating. also, i used to play skyrim in my youth (oof i'm only 21, but 13 feels like it was so long ago) and i miss it a lot. maybe one day i'll go back to it, but for now i'll just listen to the soundtrack.

I'm back! It feels nice to post again after my sudden hiatus. I really like my planner spread for this month! It's simple and it follows the other months' spread. I'm fiddling with the indicator symbols about completion, unfinished, need to finish, etc. I got this month's wallpaper from @emmastudies, like always! Thank you for making these, I always look forward to them! That latte is amazing!!! I got it at a local hole-in-the-wall cafe. Tiny, great atmosphere, wonderful music. I went there with a classmate and studied for my Japanese chapter test. I got a 97.5! I'm content with what I got. I'm going to study hard for the final exam because I got a high B, low A (iirc) on it last semester. And now I'm aiming for an A. I also had a history midterm exam the day before spring break. I was super nervous. And at the very end, I was one of two students who were the last ones in the classroom, so I hope that means I did well!!! The other person was the one I studied with the night before the exam. So, I hope we both get the grades we wanted.

Some pictures I took on my most recent trip to Boston! Flying has always been hard for me because my ears don't equalize pressure properly but I found the cure to my pain! I use earbuds and put them in before I get on the plane to make sure that I'm at ground level and when we take off I play my favorite music and forget about the pain and the fear of my ears hurting during takeoff and landing! My ears don't get plugged and they don't need to equalize. So anybody struggling with ear pains while flying I would reccomend taking:

2-3 sudafed 45 min to an hour before take off to clear your sinuses and make sure everything is clear!

Take an anxiety or sleeping (melatonin) pill 45 min to an hour before, if you have a fear of flying or are worried about pain.

Clean your earbuds and your ears before boarding the plane, and put them on as the gate is calling you to board; and then find your seat, play your favorite song, and remember that it'll be okay!

I love to travel but I always had a slight fear because of my excruciating ear pain, my ears would take days to equalize so it made day trips hard on me. I'd be crying so hard during descent and begging my mom to never take me on another trip again, because it was just that horrible for me. I figured out that doing these steps worked for me and really helped make my traveling experience even better. Now, I have no problem hoping on a plane, even multiple times in one trip like Boston! From my departing airport to Boston, walking around Boston a bit, to jumping back onto a plane to my home airport, in less than 40 hours was a breeze!

Studying for a map test in my asian civilizations class. A classmate made a study guide for the test and decided to share it with us! He even filled out the map and made a ppt slide for additional information on each country listed! I've been blessed. I printed out the map and outlined it because I really wanted to outline my map in a nice color gradient. I'm working on memorizing and trying not to stress out, but let's be honest...I'm always stressed. I hope I do well! It's worth 10 points and I really want to get an A in this class so I have to ace it. Or else I can't get above a B+/A- according to the professor??

Also I was using a supertip and it came out bubbly? It looked like something was growing on it. So I checked all my other supertips and they're all okay. Maybe I just didn't close that one specific supertip correctly?
