Hey, everyone!

Hope everyone had a productive weekend! sorry for the bad photo quality, I have a Gen Chem 2 exam later today so doing some last minute review.

I have some content coming soon about my planner set up (hopefully up Tomorrow)! 

Hey Studyblr!

It’s been so long since the last time I posted (how odd), but I have a few good reasons to have been gone for so long. But before I start on some updates, I wanted to post how I am planning on organizing my study time this semester. There before and after photos on how I went about deciding how everything should be organized, the order that I should study in, and for how long I should study each subject. I wanted to keep my final schedule as minimal as possible so I don't start freak out on busy days. I also left my weekends unplanned since I have things come up occasionally. Also, thank you to theorganisedstudent for the study schedule printable, highly recommend you check her out

Blog Updates: Having gone through several breaks without posting I have had time to sort and plan out a lot of posts that I have been thinking about so I have plenty of content to come!  

School Update: New year, new semester. Keeping up with everything so far and my only worry is that for two of my classes this semester some of the major grades are part of group work and that just makes me so nervous. 

Personal Updates: Ok where do I start, the last time that I posted I told you guys about my laptop being messed up, well I have sent it in twice since then, have gotten the battery replaced and new charges (three total) for it but it continues to refuse to charge, at least for a long period of time. If anyone had any advice or can figure what is going on with it I’d appreciate the reaching out.

I hope I still have the few followers to share this with and hopefully gain more soon. I also hope that you like the format of my posts I think it’s easier for anyone who’s reading to go through a post quickly and find what it is that they are interested in. But, I hope you all are having a productive semester and had a safe weekend.

Hey, it’s my planner set up! 👀

Monthly Spread: The most important part of my planner for me, every semester I take all of my syllabi and go through all of the due dates and test dates and using symbols put write them all in the month. In the blank space under the calendar space, I make a list by date so that I can easily see what specific assignment I have due on that day.

Weekly Spread: Ok this is where things get a bit complicated to explain because I have tried so many different things and I am still not 100% satisfied with it. 

What has worked: I block out the times of commitments that I absolutely can not change like my lectures or study meetings. It’s really helpful for me to do this when I’m making plans and I can just glance at my week and make other plans around them. Color coordinating things have saved my life, probably literally, events that are going on outside of a class but still related to them I can write in with the color as the class that way I know if I need to make time to go. Sticky notes have become a big part of my layout too, mostly as side notes and reminders, but I love to use them as reminders for supplementary instruction sessions, so basically there not required and I only go when I feel I need the extra help.  

What needs tweaking: I haven't had a lot of trouble with anything but I think what gives me the most trouble incorporating into my planner is To Do lists. I have tried using the space from days where I don't have a set time for anything, like the weekend, to just write out a list of things that need to get done. I do like having them in my planner since it easier to see what I have to do but I may end up taking them out altogether since things seem to always to pop up and I end up needing the space, so I may just use the to do space at the bottom of the page. 

So I hope you guys liked my planner post. If you guys have any questions feel free to reach out! 

Although it may not be a new calendar year it certainly is a new school year, so Happy New Year 😁! I know some people started school as early as two weeks ago but this is my first week back in class and I am more than excited to hit the ground running this semester 

Some updates: I semi-successfully completed my first year in college. I say semi-successfully because chemistry kicked my butt and won. However, I will be retaking the course again and with mistakes made and lessons learned I am ready to kick chems butt right back 👊. Also very exciting news, I have moved out of the dorms on campus and into an apartment close to campus, adulting has gotten real 😥. 

Anyways, I will try to keep up with uploading more content and updating my blog.  

If anyone has any questions or requests for what I should upload do not be scared to send me a message. 

I hope everyone has a great year!
