you’ve gotten a bad grade. the assignment you turned in was not as good as you expected. the exam just went awful. we all know the feeling when this happens. but i’m here to help you!! don’t stress my friend everything will be okay

first of all: it’s okay!!!!!! everybody fails sometimes! i know it feels awful because you worked your ass off and now this happens. what’s important is that you don’t give up. academic success is not everything, so don’t beat yourself up too much. (also like there’s so much wrong with this system, but that’s a topic for another time)

- ̗̀ right after  ̖́-

give yourself some time to be sad, angry, frustrated, etc. talk to someone or journal your thoughts down and just get everything out. (it would be best to talk someone who isn’t in the same situation, so instead of maybe making your classmate uncomfortable, talk to somebody who will listen and give emotional support)

nobody excepts you to go right back to studying. in fact it would be better to get your mind off of things and distract yourself a bit. do something you love and relax a little.

but! don’t forget to pick yourself up again and take the next step:

- ̗̀ mindset  ̖́-

put your “failing“ into perspective. how bad is it really? is it the end of the world (no it isn’t). do you only think it’s a bad grade because you keep comparing yourself to your classmates?

don’t!!!!! compare!!!! yourself to others!!! focus on yourself. you don’t know all the other things your classmates may struggle with and your academic performance does not determine your self-worth. so what you didn’t do that good? there are so many other great things about you, believe me mwah

- ̗̀ identify the cause  ̖́-

what was the cause you didn’t do as well you expected?

did you study the wrong things? or did you study them the wrong way? were the concepts just way to complicated and you didn’t understand them?

did you panic while taking the exam?

didn’t pay attention in class?

did you not start early enough?

is your teacher just awful™?

whatever the reason try to identify it and find a solution. try to apply it the next time. but remember that there is not always a cause, sometimes things are just like they are. if that seems to be the case, just remember that it’s probably not your fault and try to continue doing your best.

- ̗̀ solutions  ̖́-

ha you thought you have to figure out the solution all by yourself. but i’m here to (hopefully) help you.

don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher/prof! most of the time they want to see you succeed, so maybe there is something you could do to improve the grade or you could try to tackle the issue you have/had.

find a study method that suits you and make it a routine. there’re so many helpful posts on here (just search up “study tips”) so there is to 100% something that works for you.

study schedule? some people do better with one, some don’t. with one, you can exactly plan out when and what to study for the upcoming tests, so you’ll be able to improve your grade. also, try to plan in when you’re going to revise hard topics again or the ones you didn’t understand if there were any.

do your homework and assignments! they help so much with improving your grade and the teacher/prof sees that you’re willing to make an effort.

join a study group or visit a tutor. they are a great way to find help and make you remember that you’re not alone and that there’s a solution to everything.

be a pro at exam taking. i’ll maybe do a separate post on that because there is so much i could say, but the most important thing is: be positive. give yourself a pep talk and don’t stress. you got this.

okay, that’s everything i have to say! i hope i could help u a bit <3 remember: you got this!!

Cleaning Routine

I’m a creature of schedule. If I don’t follow a schedule, I’m pretty aimless. It also forces me to be accountable and to have some standard of discipline, which, when it comes to cleaning, I really need haha. No one likes to scrub down their toilet. Here’s the schedule I’m trying to stick to!

Daily (a 10 minute clean):

make my bed: Make this part of your morning routine, as it honestly makes your bedroom look so much cleaner.

tidy up, put things away: Try to do this at night before you go to sleep, so that when you wake up in the morning, your room is already clean. It will motivate you just a little bit more to be productive.

fold any clothes and make sure they’re put away: My dudes, when I get ready each morning, I am a total hurricane.My closet gets the worst of it, but it’s super ugly to have clothes everywhere, so personally I really have to stay on top of this.

Weekly (an hour clean on Saturday):

clean my bathroom (Saturday): I always clean my bathroom on Saturday so Sunday (which is my rest day) can be free of clutter-induced stress. Because I clean it frequently, it’s a pretty quick clean.

wash my bath towels (or however frequently you need to wash them)

Bi-weekly:

wash my clothes: There’s nothing more annoying than not being able to wear your favorite Harry Potter shirt because it’s 

disinfect surfaces: Like your desk, your shelves, your windows, even your doors — these things build up dirt too!

Monthly

declutter: Every month I find I accumulate an awful lot of junk, and every month I try to pare down my possessions.

wash my bed sheets: Really important!

because the tumblr algorithm works essentially solely on tags, it’s important to make sure that you use the right ones. in the studyblr community, many blogs ‘track tags’, which means that they follow the tag and reblog the posts within it.

in this post, i have collated many studyblrs and their tracking tags that you can use!

if you would like to be added to the post, please send me an ask and let me know. if you are already included and you change your tag/url, also kindly let me know so that i can keep this post up to date. If there are any mistakes, also let me know!

[note: you need to make sure that your blog is discoverable in your settings to make sure that i can tag you. otherwise i cannot include you]

I’ve been collecting pdfs over the years and I put them all in this google drive folder. I divided them into literature and theory and then by language: english, spanish, basque, italian, portuguese, turkish, russian and french.

So last week I was going thru this tiny crisis so I was lying in bed and at the ceiling for like an hour.

Today, my dad walked into my room in the middle of the day and did the same thing. I asked him what happened and he said he was 'contemplating his life'. help I broke my dad

(pic: some chemistry revision notes I made the other day)
