Just a timelapse of a painting. I turn the paper around a lot lol.

I’m using Windsor & Newton gouache here, and finished off with gold ink.

The “P-E-E-L” Method for Essays

[P]oint • State the factor or main point.

[E]xplanation • Elaborate what the factor is about. Imagine you’re explaining it to someone who has not studied it. Make it as clear as possible to help him/her to understand.

[E]xamples • Give examples to support your explanation.

[L]ink • Connect your answer back to what the question is asking for. You should start your link in the next paragraph by clearly stating how it answers the question. Use the same phrasing shown in the question.

School is hard! And it’s even harder to make yourself pick up those books and start studying.. So this is how I get ready to revise:

Get Comfy!

wearing uncomfortable clothes will ruin your concentration

who wants to wear jeans all day anyway????

so put on those sweatpants and get cozy!!

my fav outfit: fleece-lined leggings, a tunic sweater, and fuzzy socks!

in the summer I love athletic shorts and a t-shirt 

also put your hair up!

I like a braid or my signature study bun

but a ponytail will do

Get Moving!

exercising can help you retain information! 

as seen here

make sure to keep it light not so much that you’re sweating

do 15 jumping jacks, 10 sit-ups, and 5 push-ups!

or take a quick walk around the house

trust me, it will make your day ten times better

Snack Time!

make it healthy

too much sugar will make you feel crummy 

go with something that has more vitamins, fiber, and protein!

make some on the weekends to avoid wasting time

some of my favorites

blueberry banana smoothie bowl <– it just says smoothie but add less milk to make it a bowl

banana nut muffins (you can add chocolate chips if you want)

pomegranate 

baby carrots and sweet peppers

pistachios!!

trail mix (homemade is the best)

pretzels dipped in cashew butter

tell me if you have more!!

Clear the Area

keep your desk clean

here are some cute organizers! X X X 

try not to keep extra supplies on the top of your desk

it can get cluttered really quick!

keep all books, stationery, notes, etc. close at hand

open your windows and let natural light in!

Get Relaxed & Pumped!!

save a few motivating quotes and read them

turn off your phone!!!

take 2 minutes to breathe and listen

drink some water!!

START!

do one easy assignment

like a worksheet

then move on to something creative

write part of an essay or work on a project

now, do your hardest assignment

and Finish It!!!!

do something simpler

do another worksheet

revise and condense from today’s lesson!

work on things you have to memorize

vocabulary

use flashcards or other methods like summary foldables (one of my favs thanks sareena! @studyign​)

After Studying

time to relax!

clean up your space

read!

go on tumblr (you’ve earned it)

watch netflix or youtube

paint your nails

spend some time on your hobbies

get some SLEEP

YOU’RE DONE

all the pre-studying shouldn’t take more then half an hour

don’t procrastinate!

take breaks when studying (I suggest the pomodoro method)

most of all, HAVE FUN STUDYING

Much Love!
