@chazza-studies-alevels’s questions:

1. If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be and why?

oh, so many options. i think i would change how some ignorant people only see one correct way to live so that they are more open-minded.

2. What’s your favourite quality in yourself?

i’m a very determined person (eg right now i’m sitting at 1:30am waiting for clouds to pass so i can see a comet.)

loyalty and genuine kindness.

7. Why did you choose your subjects/course?

physics, because i love space and understanding the world around me. maths, because it’s useful in physics and i love problem solving. chemistry, because i’m good at it and love understanding why things work. music performance, because i need a way to be creative and grow confidence!

8. What’s your favourite subject/pastime?

my favourite subject is physics (although currently we’re studying mechanics which i hate so maybe chemistry atm) and my favourite pastime is reading/cycling

today was the first day of my six week summer holiday and i’m already feeling very listless, so here is my plan for getting a big step up in russian. i’ve been loosely learning for a year so i know basic phrases and the alphabet but i want to use this time to really get to grips with it. so i’m posting this here because accountability is important! i’m hoping to fill up these sheets with vocab by the end too.

call for change: studyblrs

I have had this blog for about a year now, and I’ve come to realise the unattainable perfection of studyblrs. I created this account to motivate and educate myself and I feel as though these ‘perfect study notes’ hold unrealistic expectations. This is why I have decided to post things that are more realistic, educational and have a positive impact on the community. Please reblog this to spread the message: You do not need perfect notes, every stationary item, a macbook, top grades or an aesthetic study space to be a studyblr. All you need to do is do the best you can.

eighth of november, mmxix

we’ve been having a real mix of autumn mornings recently, some beautiful crisp sunny mornings where the sun shines through the golden leaves; and some where the leaves are mushed on the ground and the rain falls constantly for days on end.

friday 25 october

some week/month planners from paperchase and a doodle i did while taking a break from maths, which was really stressing me out as i find that drawing helps calm me down when i’m worked up about something. i’ve also been journalling a short paragraph about each day every night which i’m enjoying!
