#thilstudies

Anyway as I'm trying to get my life back on track, I've decided to set some reminders on my phone so I don't forget to post on here. So hopefully that'll result in some more activity from me

Hey friend! So sorry for taking forever-- I had to think long and hard about this and check out a lot studyblrs and mutuals I follow, since we’ve all probably changed our majors 22842838835 times LOL

To my knowledge, these are some folks who are still currently music or business majors: 

@student-succulent -- becca is a TOTAL sweetheart and the world needs to know!! i believe you’re still an international business major!

@gloomstudy -- am utterly in love with her blog as I’m sure many other people are :D she is a music major!

@patriotstudies -- lovely mutual, honestly love seeing original content- business major!

Here are some other folks I follow, who I believe are still their respective majors. Check them out!

@cozytastic -- business

@stitch-es -- music

@heymads -- business

@my-studyblr -- business

@thils-studyblr -- musical therapy (so fascinating!)

Me this week

Clearly I haven't been very active throughout the past half year. Mainly because of demotivation. I couldn't get myself to write posts after also writing essays. It was just too much.

Something that I do enjoy however, is video editing. I was thinking of starting up a study related YouTube channel (is there a name for that? Like studyblr?) I used to have a YouTube dedicated to a band I like, so I have some experience already. Would anyone be interested in that? Please let me know.

I'm not saying I'm gonna be gone forever. However I do want to state the obvious: I've been inactive for nearly a year now and don't see myself getting more active anytime soon.

I'm switching my education. I was studying pabo, but I'm going to a different college to study musical therapy. This means most of my studying will be behind a piano, guitar, drums, ect. instead of at my desk. As a result I won't have cute study pictures to post.

So I guess I'm properly saying I'm gonna be on hiatus for a unspecified amount of time. Who knows, maybe I'll still post masterposts and study tips.

Quick question though, if I were to post weekly (or monthly) study updates on musical therapy, would y'all be interested? Let me know

Anyways, for now goodbye, and hopefully see y'all soon

This post is just a much of a mess as I am

I’m horrible at making thumbnails lol

As I personally am HORRIFIED of public speaking/presenting, I decided I would scour both the entire public speaking and presenting tag, to find as many useful posts as possible, as compile them all into one big post, so I can come back to this whenever I need to give a presentation

I’ve added a little star (*) to my favourite posts in the list. Although all are useful, these are the once I use the most and come back to often to re-read.
