two posts in a couple of days? who am i? i’ve been studying german so i wanted to make a special post for it. i wrote two short paragraphs, one about my favorite words in german and one about which languages i want to learn next. then i looked up the words in the next unit we’ll talk about tomorrow, and lastly i did the exercises in the workbook 🤓 absolutely love to be more prepared than my classmates.

The results are the sweetest when you've worked for it. Don't. Forget. That

When I study, it helps me a lot to write down the information, even if I don't go back to look at it, so it would've been a lot of paper waste on my part. I decided to get a tablet and I'm a huge Android fan. This is my Samsung tab s6, i got it second hand, and after one year of using it a lot, I still have no complaints!

Highly recommend it :)

(you can also attach a keyboard and make it a super portable 'laptop')

I request advice! I'll be starting on a new academic road this coming August and I desire to not use as much paper as I did in undergraduate.

For context, I'm a mathematics student for whom hand-typed notes are made more accessible by LaTeX but still not easily producible during a lecture, particularly if that lecture involves multiple operations, fractions within fractions, and symbols I haven't encountered before. In geometry classes, there is no hope. Moreover, practicing mathematics context is best done by hand, at least for me.

What I'm seeking are paper-less options that will still allow me to "hand write." I've seen iPad and Apple Pencil recommendations online, but I prefer non-Apple products. What has worked well for others, math or non-math?

Hello I am still here

Took a week off studying because I deserved it lol. But we're back! Revamped my digital planner for the month of June, and I also found my samsung tablet! It's an A series tablet (very old I know) but it still works! Sadly it's not S Pen compatible.

But the good news is I won't be using it to take notes lol (paper notes supremacyyy) but rather to sync it with my laptop and download PDFs so I can improve my library study sessions. I've begun to hit the library really often nowadays and it's really helping me study!

Slowly beginning to catch up with uni stuff, let's see how it goes :)

Oh I am definitely gonna have to re-learn how to take nice desk/study pictures. Anyways, today I’m reviewing my early TESOL program notes to refresh myself on some grammar and sneaking in a quick DuoLingo session. I don’t use Duo as my primary study material for any language, but I find it particularly helpful for Mandarin because it forces me to read/review characters every day. I simply don’t have time every day to hit my textbooks the way I want to, but I can always do a Duo lesson or two. Also, I am competitive and want to get to a year-long Duo streak lol.

lunlun's autumn studying challenge! #studyingunderthefallingleaves

Hi and hello everyone! Welcome to my blog and my studying challenge! ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧ My name is Lunlun. I am creating this challenge because my uni started on October and I want to motivate myself and keep track of my studies. I hope you will participate and enjoy the challenge too!

• How to participate?

Just reblog this post! You don't need to follow me or anything like that. And do not forget to post your posts with the hashtag #studyingunderthefallingleaves so that everyone can see your posts! You do not need to start at a certain date. I wouldn’t even mind if you started the challenge during summer :] Just try to enjoy it and make sure you’re taking breaks and taking good care of yourself!

• Prompts:

Day 1: Welcome! Let’s start with a simple question: What is your major/What do you study?

Day 2: Share your goals for this challenge. What do you want to accomplish by the end of it?

Day 3: What does autumn mean for you?

Day 4: Share a song that has autumn vibes with us.

Day 5: Why did you choose your major/what you study?

Day 6: Are there other languages you learn besides your native langauge? If so, which ones?

Day 7: What is the best place to study for you in autumn?

Day 8: What do you like to drink while you study? You can share the recipe if you want!

Day 9: Do you have a memory, which happened during autumn, you remember with a smile on your face?

Day 10: What is your favorite thing about your major? Why?

Day 11: Which one of your courses do you like the most? And the one you just can’t like no matter what you do?

Day 12: Do you have any studying methods you use? If so, share them with us (please *sobs*)!

Day 13: Which one do you prefer: Digital devices and online platforms or notebooks and books? And why?

Day 14: Share a picture of your favorite pen/pencil!

Day 15: You’ve finished the half of the challenge (for now as more prompts will be added), so let’s look back at your goals. Are you getting closer to accomplishing them?

Day 16: Share an article you’ve read and enjoyed recently.

Day 17: What is your favorite thing about having a studyblr blog?

Day 18: Share a YouTube channel and/or a podcast you like to watch/listen that inspires you.

Day 19: How was your day? You can talk about anything; vent or share a moment. I personally am willing to hear!

Day 20: Where are you from and how is the school system in your country? As a prospective teacher, I like to hear about different education systems. For example, in my country, we have a 4+4+4 system where students study elementary, middle school and high school (seperately) for four years. Most departmens in universities are also for four years; however, medicine students, for example, have to study for six years.

Day 21: Share a random fact you know.

Day 22: What is your best feature according to you?

Day 23: Okay, you have to praise yourself with at least two sentences. Go! I am listening!

Day 26: What advice would you give to people who want/will start to study your major?

Day 27: What book are you reading right now? Do you like it so far?

Day 28: Share a playlist you listen to while studying.

Day 29: What is your favorite autumn food?

Day 30: It’s been a month already! How are you feeling? Is keeping up with the challenge tiring? Have you enjoyed it so far? Please share your thoughts!

• From Lunlun: I will add more prompts later, probably for 30 days again. I am posting this part for now as if I try to write more now, I know it’ll take more time for me to share the challenge and don’t wanna miss autumn!
