#swotting

Ive seen groups of (mostly, sometimes the people driving it are adults who’ve convinced the teens they’re ‘the good ones’) teens whip themselves up into a frenzy mob on twitter/tiktok over some perceived immorality or like ‘unsafe’ (when really it just makes them uncomfortable) behaviour and attack people over it, not just harassing but like doxxing or sending suicide threats because they’ve realised they have the power to do that online now and half the time alot of the ones involved only know what theyve been told by the people encouraging the behaviour. Recently in the kink discourse i saw some people talking about swotting an adult for being a ‘p*do’ when the adult was literally just saying they supported kink at pride? and its not just like an odd group of shitty kids now its enough to be an actual problem like with 100s of people doing it, and ive seen it all over the place in rising amount with people encouraging others because you're taking down a ‘bad’ person by doing it. Then if called out they quote being a minor saying they're a ‘minor being harassed’ when they're just being told they’re acting up real badly and acting like they're okay harassing someone because they haven't hit the magic 18 yet?? like that's suddenly a good defense and excuse for endangering someone you were mad at on the internet because they are over 18???

FORMERLY DRIZZYXSTUDY 

hello everybody, it’s rebecca here from the former drizzyxstudy to let you know that i have now changed my username to swotting.tumblr.com ! i decided to change it as my blog had little to do with drake (still love u lots bb) and i thought that the new name is much more relevant to the content on the blog. 

this is dedicated to my great grandmother, who despite increasing ill health is still one of the loveliest ladies i know, and never failed to ask me during exam season how my ‘swotting’ was going, aka studying :D she is such a queen ♡

yoo everybody! my name’s rebecca and after about of month of lurking on the studyblr community and reblogging everybody (and finishing my first ever bunch of official exams today yasss), i thought it was about time i introduced myself and started posting my own original content :D

so i’m fifteen years old and i live in the uk and am examined by the sqa at the moment! i have just finished seven national 5s, which i believe are pretty much equivalent to GCSEs, and from next week i will be starting to work on ‘highers’ (kinda equivalent to a levels) in maths, english, music, modern studies, accounting and french, all of which i really really enjoy. i feel as if this past year of these exams has been a huge learning curve in how i like to learn, revise and be organised and i hope i can pass the lessons i have learned in master posts, advice blogs, etc to share with you all! this is a sneak peak at some of my revision that i did the other day for my accounting exam:

i have also got some brand new pens and a moleskine squared notebook to start bullet journalling for the next academic year and downloaded momentum to be a true studyblr ;)

other than studying, i enjoy many other things, like playing music on my alto sax and piano and listening to music like drake (;)), years and years, jack garratt, the weeknd, rihanna, zayn, one direction and anything basically! i also love spending time with my family, chilling and having a laugh with friends, reading (although i have had hardly any time to do so since exams!!), shopping and i would say exercise but i’m not going to lie i really don’t :P

anyway! i’d love to find some mutuals, and get speaking to some of you because this seems like such a lovely and motivational community to be a part of and i can’t wait to get started ^u^ 

some of my favourite blogs that i’ve found so far include: 

@elkstudies ; @studypetals ; @theorganisedstudent ; @prettylittlestudies ; @peachystudy ; @bulletjournalling ; @emsxstudy ; @gcse-studyblr ; @pianoandstudy ; @becoming-a-lawyer ; @imstudyingforgcse ; @areistotle ; @acadaemic

thank you so much for reading and i’ll chat to you soon,

rebecca x
