#ugly notes

Are you sick of trying to build the perfect aesthetic studyblr?

Do you feel like it’s not doing the job of motivating you and others?

Do you feel that finding the perfect theme and colors just isn’t for you?

Are you here only for the STUDY part? but feel too ashamed to share your stuff?

Welcome to the ugly part of the Studyblr community.

Description: this is a challenge aimed to bring back confidence in all study spaces/notes, as a reminder that the goal of the community is to get things done and motivate others, and as an encouragement to bring this awesome community back to life.

I’ve been putting off starting this blog for more than 3 years now, and I know many that have abandoned their blogs because they didn’t have enough time to maintain it, and I believe this isn’t quite right.

SO, @martiestudies sparked the idea of this challenge and @skylar--studies and I followed.

RULES: 

Share your study space, your notes, or anything study related.

Keep a positive attitude.

Photos shouldn’t be edited in any way.

Yes, don’t even fix the lighting.

Don’t look for the perfect angle.

be real, try not to fix anything before posting.

Share this post.

Day 5/100 of the productivity challenge

Plan:

Prepare for the presentation

Relax and work on my bujo

(If I have time) 1 module od the content marketing course

Question of the day: Week 1, Sun - What are you doing to relax?

Most of the times I just hang out with my cat and read books or watch TV series while drawing doodles. Or I jump around my room pretending to dance, because I no longer know how to. Yeeeahh, I know.

Welcome to my Blog!

I decided to make this studyblr to track my studies, and also to give me a bit of peer pressure to be productive. And also because of the really sweet and supportive community!

I am an 18 yo student in Hungary. After a lot of fighting for it, I finally got home schooled last October. In Hungary, that means i have to take exams in every subject at every half year. Sadly, I didn’t really get adjusted to this way of schooling in time, which meant that 1 month before my exams i started cramming and taking way too much caffeine... However, I’ve learned from it, and now I’m approaching the end-of-the-year exams more organized. That’s why this blog exists now!

From now on, I’ll try to go to the library and study for 4 hours 6 days a week. And for this blog, I’ll try to upload original posts at least 2 times a week, for at least a month. After that, I hope I will decide that doing this is worth it :)

Probably I will also upload stuff about my coding progress too - because I want to be a software developer in the future, it’s really important for my career. I may also upload music-related stuff, as that also interests me a lot. Hopefully once my ordered music theory books arrive, I can also post notes from them!

Quick warning: my notes are ugly as hell. They are barely readable to most people. But I hope that constantly posting it, and just being in the studyblr community will motivate me to improve it. I will start working on it, but I’m only aiming for a readable and consistent font. Honestly, I’m happy to represent a more “realistic” and functional way of note taking, instead of caring too much about how it’s gonna look on tumblr (but those aesthetic notes that other ppl make are sooo good to look at!! I just won’t be able to write that nice..)

Also, my desk and home environment is a mess right now.. But at least I will have some visual progress on this blog when I finally get my sit together!

That’s it I guess.. If you have anything to ask, go ahead!!

Ugly notes rock! This is just a quick snippet of how I take notes from academic readings. I read through a text, then make bullet points of the main themes, quotes, and anything else I find interesting. Then, in the seminar, I can just refer to my own thoughts about the text.
