I kinda skipped a few days cause honestly it's been tiring. The past two weeks were nothing but exams but now full on classes start again. Almost a month and a half of senior year is done... Gosh, Time's flying... Right... So, I'm gonna change my tactics here alittle because when i write my goals down, i don't seem to achieve them to that level so I'm gonna be more specific about things that i already did.
Today I:
Completed one lesson in economics:
Topics I covered :-
Multiplier
Accelerator
Aggregate Demand and Supply
Effective Demand
Completed 20% of a lesson in business
Topics I covered :-
Capital market
Features of capital market
• Revised lesson 4 in computers
Topics I covered :-
Php basics, variables, data types, comments, operators
• Completed Economics assignment
Dates to remember:
August 5 (English assignment submission)
August 10 (Computer project)
I guess that's it... xD
Today's exam was alright but could have done better... Anyway tomorrow is business studies and gosh, 8 lessons... I haven't studied even one properly, I'm literally crying in agony and I feel so sleepy so I'm just gonna skip alot of topics and go to bed and just write something tomorrow T-T
Today i:
Completed 30% of business studies syllabus (8 lessons)
Though, for some reason this year i don't get that many panic attacks because of exams or anything. I'm way calmer... I don't know if that's good or bad :/
I’d like to invite you to join the Studyblr Community, using tumblr’s brand new feature! This community is for original study related content, a place to support each other and is intended to be your new cozy corner of the internet. Let’s make this a renaissance of the 2017-2020 studyblr golden age ♡₊ ⊹📃💭⋆⭒˚。⋆
How it works:
Join via this link.
Make an introductory post within the community about yourself and your studies.
Reblog your study related content to the community! Note: currently you can only do this on the desktop web browser version of tumblr. I’ve contacted support to see when we can do this from our phones too!
Reblog this post for reach & expand this post for more info!
It’s super simple! When you click to reblog your post, select the Studyblr Community instead of your study blog. You should be able to do this by clicking your blog name when you are reblogging a post.
˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘
This is a space for original content. If you are reposting images from Pinterest you will be blocked, this is not the place for that. Some exceptions can be made, like resharing useful study infographics with credit.
You don’t need to be a student to join! You just need to enjoy this type of content
I reserve the right to block people out of the community if I believe them to threaten the safety and peace of the members.
There is a limit to how many people can join the community. If this limit is reached, I will remove members who’s blogs haven’t been active in a long time. If this happens to you, you’re totally allowed to join back in when you’re active again!
Due to personal experiences with my privacy being disrespected, you are encouraged to not share private identifiable information like what university you attend. This rule is at your own discretion!
˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘
Any information that you’re comfortable with sharing! This could include the basics like what name you’d like to be referred as, what you are studying, what your academic goals are etc.
For inspiration, check the #studyblr introduction tags
˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘
This basically refers to a time where the studyblr hashtag was full of original content made by students. It has more of a community vibe back then, which I’d love to bring back! (Disclaimer: it was not a perfect time though, there was heaps of stationary overconsumption and a big focus on aesthetic notes. But the community was thriving!)
˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘
I will be making a studyblr productivity challenge which will start at the end of August for the new academic year! It will include prompts to answer as posts, so if you have any fun prompt ideas let me know!
˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘
I’ve been struggling to find active Studyblr accounts with the #studyblr tag, and honestly most of the content on this tag isn’t related to studying… Tbh I’m guilty of this, even though I identify as primarily being a studyblr for psychology & french, I realise that some of my bookish/artsy posts might have been annoying to see on the studyblr tag. (I’m sorry to anyone who has been silently irritated by this!!) I’m a bit ashamed that mildly contributed to this, and so I hope this community will balance that out!
Btw, I made this community a while back just to test out this new feature, but I’d like to credit @star-motif ‘s post for making me think about this more, and subsequently publicise the community! I hope this space will bring us back to the golden age of tumblr😊
˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘˚ ͙۪۪̥◌ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. ‘
I’d like to make an updated directory of active studyblrs, kind of like this one. If anybody has any resources on how I could put one together, or if you’d like to take on the task, please let me know!
The past two days, I've been doing nothing but accounts, I'm practically thinking in numbers and accounting concepts right now. I seriously am a little nervous about tomorrow exam, I have no idea how I'm gonna do this, I haven't touched the theory part, I've been focusing on sums... Like, send help T-T
Almost completed 3 lessons in accounts
Completed economics assignment (with great difficultly)
📚 favorite course you’ve taken?
Hey :)
Thanks for the ask!
📚 favorite course you’ve taken?
I haven't taken alot of courses but an Arabic course I took in sophomore year is definitely my favorite course. Like, it's helping me so much in my Arabic right now so yeah xD
📁+📖
Hey lovely Anon! Thanks for the ask :D
📁 what is a project/assignment you’re really proud of?
Okay, so recently I had a computer project and we had to either make a video, animation or meme or whatever etc. And our team produced one video, one animation and 5 memes which was like alot of work in a span of 1-2 weeks. So, yeah, the teacher was really impressed and i was extremely happy with the results we got xD
Other one would also be a computer project, it was in junior year for the school exhibition. My friend and I did photoshop (like changing backgrounds, combining images etc) and yeah, that was cool xD
📖 a book/reading from your field you’d recommend/really enjoyed?
To be honest, I don't know what to say cause I'm still a senior in high school xD and i have no idea about what field I'll choose so... I don't know :")
✉️ your academic “motto”?
Hey dear Anon! Thanks for the ask. :D
✉️ your academic “motto”?
I don't really have one, honestly. I generally like to watch study motivations on YouTube and Pinterest and different mottos work for me depending on my mood and i don't really repeat the same motto everytime 😅
Though, currently I've been repeating this phrase "I know more than I think I do" It really helps with my anxiety so yeah.
some asks for studyblrs and students more generally!
🎙️someone in your field, dead or alive, that youd like to have a conversation with?
📚 favorite course you’ve taken?
🎓 a teacher/mentor figure that has had a huge impact on your studies?
📉 your least favorite course/a course you did poorly in?
🎵 describe your “vibe” as a student in a song?
👻 share an academic horror story! (bad group projects, missed an exam, etc)
📁 what is a project/assignment you’re really proud of?
💬 best comment you’ve ever gotten on your work?
🌟 share one of your academic “core memories”!
📖 a book/reading from your field you’d recommend/really enjoyed?
💻 a subject/field you wish you could get into if you could?
🗑️ have you always wanted to be in your field? what was your “almost-field?”
✉️ your academic “motto”?
✏️ a big misconception about your field/a popular, but wrong fact related to your field that makes you cringe?
👶 something you really needed to hear when you started out?
📍 an academic pet peeve of yours?
my asks are open too :p ~
Today was my Arabic exam, it was quite alright. Though I think I'll get some scores cut because of spelling mistakes T-T Anyway, tomorrow I have English (6 lessons + Grammar) I haven't really touched my textbook today, instead I did accounts because I'm literally going mad over there :")
Also does anyone else feel like English grammar is tough when you're actually fluent in English? Like, I just know what the answer is but teachers complicate things by giving us a number of rules to memorize, like, that's not how a language is supposed to be learnt T-T
The fact that you are not where you want to be should be enough motivation.
Advice I'd give any one who's choosing their own subjects
Please, for your own good. Ask your seniors. Go through syllabus. I'm really serious about this, so damn serious.
A few days ago, i was on my way home and i usually travel with a junior, she's taken the same subjects as me except 2 papers etc. One is language, another one is maths. We just talk sometimes and she clears her subject doubts with me etc etc.
While we were talking, she said that the language she chose was really hard now that she actually started studying it and she was ranting about it.... The irony is that i already had warned her in the first week of school about the paper being difficult with a huge syllabus but she said she loved it and was excited, I just shrugged it off and didn't tell her anything. But now she says she regrets it.
Then, another junior travelled with me today, she took completely different subjects, more of physical sciences etc. When i asked her how her classes were ... She replied "It's not even a month and I'm regretting this"
And this is not the only one, I've heard this from multiple juniors, I've seen how exhausted everyone looked. Their faces drained. I'm not saying that in a "I told you so" way but rather in a genuine gesture.
Two things you need to do before you choose subjects:
Ask your seniors
Go through the syllabus
Things to ask your seniors:
How hard is the syllabus?
How are the teachers?
If given another choice, would you choose the same subjects again?
How are the question papers usually set? (In terms of difficultly)
What are the resources that you used for studying?
How much do the teachers assign work?
Things to look for in your syllabus :
Number of chapters and content.
Level of difficulty.
The reason why I stress on asking seniors is because they've been through the same year. They have an idea of what's going on. Don't ask your teachers, every single teacher wants you to join their class and of course she'll say that the material is easy. For a safer side, I ask 3 seniors, even if 2 give opposite scenarios, the 3rd one will be the tie breaker. Don't ask everyone's opinion, you'll get confused, just be... Careful.
And not to mention, I've heard many say things like "But it's awkward to talk to seniors." Or "We don't want to annoy them" etc etc. Honestly I, as a senior, have never felt irritated or annoyed and neither have my classmates felt that way because we all know how confused we were while choosing our subjects and we definitely don't feel awkward. Choose an appropriate time and place, the conversation won't take longer than 10 mins and at the end of the day, you got a new acquaintance :)
Hope this helps <3
txt: it's better to try and fail than to not try at all
So... I didn't get selected for the competition but nevertheless, I'm glad I atleast tried my level best... Though, my computer teacher has now called me for another competition (not public speaking) i don't really wanna join but her glares are enough to make ice melt so... T-T
Anyway, today i:
Did some accounts sums and concepts (1 hr 30 mins)
Completed 70% of my computer assignment
Revised part 2 and 3 in lesson 3 of economics
That's it. My mid terms start from 18th so I need to pick my speed up because I have a huge portion to cover... especially in Business studies and Arabic, i haven't touched them in ages and both have 8 lessons for midterms :")
Gosh, today was tiring. Nothing interesting either
Completed 2 whole concepts in accounts (about 12 sums)
Did 20% of part 2 in economics lesson 3
Didn't do alot today, I had a headache and was practically fighting to stay awake. The fact that we had 3 accounts periods after lunch did not help, not to mention, we had absolutely no tests today because everything was postponed to tomorrow with 2 extra tests... I don't even know why our teachers do this, like follow the schedule please T-T
Did 2 accounts sums (yes, only 2 because that alone took me 2 hours to understand and yet I'm still unsure about it T-T)
(Competition selection is tomorrow... I hope I get in ://)
Today was alright , I guess. I did a decent amount of work and i have 3 tests tomorrow, I only studied for one T-T
Today i :
Completed part 4 in 2 chapters of computers
Revised accounts
Revised part 2 in 4 chapters of economics
Funny thing how i actually didn't message up today's tryouts ... I'm thankful and shocked honestly... Anyway, nothing that interesting today, I've been making small progress everyday to atleast touch my textbooks... Midterms start from 18th .... No idea how I'm gonna complete everything in such a short period of time...
Today I:
Learnt some accounts topics
Prepared for debate
Finished 1 lesson in english
Completed Arabic assignment
I had embarrassed myself infront of 7 teachers and one of my classmates while they were practicing for debate and gosh I got so anxious and ended up forgetting everything, I didn't even complete the first line and then bamn, i couldn't speak anymore and i, myself just went to the teacher in charge and told her I won't join... She sighed and seemed disappointed but...
Despite the embarrassment I faced today, i signed up for another competition where you're "fighting a case" ... Yes, i know. I like torturing myself T-T but I do feel good about atleast trying even though I did so bad and couldn't even get out a word, i did try it. That's all the matters and one of my goals this academic year was improving at public speaking, I've been trying to take every opportunity that is equally challenging and alittle comforting... So... Yeah...
Today i:
Prepared for the competition
Did accounts sums
Completed 2 topics in economics
(i really hope I get selected for the competition...)
I hadn't gone to school for the past two days because of some cold and allergy but i didn't really miss alot. Today was fully catching up on what happened etc etc... I'm even participating in a type of a debate competition, first time doing something like this but I'm trying to push myself out of my comfort zone and speak up alittle, you know? I don't know if I'll get selected but atleast I tried...
Today i:
Completed like 20% of a lesson in computers
Prepared for debate
Nothing else really...
Guess it's the same everywhere T-T i seriously get these questions atleast once a week... people need to slow done alittle... atleast I'm not alone
I got this question a lot and I'm absolutely tired of hearing it...
"What are you doing in college?", "What are your plans after senior year?"
Like, I don't even know what I'm gonna do over the break or the next whole year, so, i thought maybe it's like this for everyone. People are expected to decide everything like it won't actually impact their life. Most of my class is damn sure about what they wanna do while me? I just wanna pass senior year with good grades and think about it slowly and with a clearer head.
For me, the main thing that matters is that i shouldn't regret taking something i don't like and I don't wanna rush the whole decision up. And i just got like such judgy eyes... ugh... Like, I don't know what i want... Why is that not okay nowadays? Why is taking time to figure it out not alright?
So, to everyone who's in a situation like me...
You don't have to have everything figured out, if you don't know what you're gonna do, that's completely fine. Take your time, it's not a race.
Honestly, it can be quite confusing and you may feel like you might be kinda lax about it but honestly, it's definitely okay :)
You're not obliged to rush your decisions just because another person has already made theirs.
Just wanted to say that... okay, bye.

Did the English test, it was alright, not too bad i guess... Arabic test was cancelled, more like forgotten by the teacher, yes, we didn't remind xD
Today was uneventful but I guess it's good...
Did some accountancy sums
Studied economics lesson 2 (Part 2)
Yeah, that's it.
I'm tired. Gosh. I've been waking up at 6:45 am and then returning home at 5:00 in the evening, it's so exhausting... Anyway, today I:
Completed one lesson in economics
Did some accounts sums and revised concepts
Did my computer homework (50%)
Got an English and Arabic test tomorrow. Yay T-T
I'm in my "I don't know how but i will" era
Well, no idea how to describe today. Kinda boring and tiring... I'm struggling with English alittle, no it's not the stories or poetry or prose or assignments... It's freaking grammar. I mean, I'm fluent in English, I don't have that many mistakes in it either thankfully but if our teacher teaches us grammar using tabular columns and grammar rule formulae type stuff, I'll obviously struggle because I can't freaking comprehend how you use that in this T-T
Anyways, today I:
Completed English assignment
Did some accounts
Completed 1 lesson in Business Studies
Completed Computer homework
I guess that's it...
Today was alright, I guess. My project finally got accepted by our computer teacher, like after suffering for a week or two we finally completed.
Nothing much to update here so....
Did some accounts sums
Completed 40% of English assignment
Completed 20% of Arabic assignment
I've been meaning to wake up at 5:30 from tomorrow to start studying. Let's see... O-O
24th June.
Hello peeps. Just wanted to remind y'all that things are going to get better if they aren't already. You have to wait for changes in your life. And it's okay. Nobody cares enough to judge you on what's going on in your life. It's okay... It will be better. You can't lose hope.
PS. 2nd round CCMT is out. Got NIT Patna Microelectronics and VLSI design.
