5/03/2021 I took a break from social media after such a busy month I had to reduce my phone usage, hence the disappearance! I’m currently making maps for my Urban Design: Place Making module and its kind of lonely work, so I’ve made some new spotify playlists to get through it. Hope everyone had a nice February - the lockdown was getting quite hard for me! x Emily

Zoomester Studyblr Challenge

Hi! I’m not a big creator on here but I always see Studyblr Challenges and I try my best to always take part (even tho i fail halfway) but this is my last semester at uni and I wanted to do a little something something. 

Info

This challenge is starting on March 1st and contains 31 prompts (one per day of the month) but feel free to take part at any given time! 

I initially aimed this challenge for all my struggling last semester/grad school/ thesis writing people BUT honestly, whatever your grade, this zoomester is crazy as it is.

If you do the challenge, use the tag #zoomester studyblr challenge so that it is easier for me to track posts and that way other people can also track and reblog!

Aims

This is lowkey my way of getting to know some more of you beautiful hardworking people.

Times are still hard so perhaps participating and getting to know people from the tags can be comforting for some people.

It really doesn’t matter if you’re new to the studyblr community or have been on here for a while and would like a safe space to insert yourself, here it is. 

Rules

If you want to do this challenge, please reblog this post

There are daily prompts for 31 days but challenges should not be a burden to the way you post so you can post as frequently as you like/are able to.

This month's theme is lavender because I'm totally obsessed with the little plant I bought a few weeks ago!

Dark Academia Things I Find Charming: Online Learning Edition

Messy, almost incoherent notes with doodles all over them

Going on extremely long tangents, only barely related to the lecture

Group zoom meetings

Messaging your friends in the middle of the session, desperately trying to hold back your giggles

Turning on your favorite music for lecture background noise

Performing self care when your camera is off

Saying something thoughtful during a conference/socratic seminar

Only half paying attention to course related videos

The aroma of coffee becoming the most dominant smell in your room and clothes

That comfortable silence between you and your lab partners

Yearning for your object of affection, separated by a screen

Studying in comfortable clothes, free of judgement

Stretching between lectures

Having a stack of books, documents, notes, and stationery all over your desk

The sigh of relief after finally finishing a day of class

Sharing quizlets, pdfs, and other resources with your classmates in a groupchat

Having dark under eyes after an evening of hard work

Submitting your assignment a few minutes before the deadline

Reading supplementary material during studyhalls

Longing for in person class, but making the most of your situation

[orangesalamander-but-studying]

Fuck it. Dark Academia and Online Learning

Getting up early to do extra reading before class

Many, many cups of coffee

Zoom calls that get derailed by in depth discussions about the topic

A shirt and slacks one day, a hoodie and sweats the next

Playing your music as loud as you like while you study

Stacks of texts on your desk, on the kitchen table, around your bedroom

Papers and stationary scattered around your home

Studying while wrapped up in your favourite blanket

Groupchats that vary from sharing important sources to sharing memes about your studies

Similarly, group calls where you all study together and share information you've found

JSTOR, EBSCO, and other life saving online sources

Studying by lamp light when it gets dark

Your handwriting growing messier because you're the only one reading it now

Looking forward to the day you can go back to university, but making the most of what you have now

[orangesalamander-but-studying]

Today’s setup. Quick reading session before my Ethics and Justice discussion

I finally get to learn about memory! I take my notes Cornell style so I can quiz myself, along with highlighting/color code a little for the definitions and key terms.

[orangesalamander-but-studying]

Midterms are over!!!! Used the netter app to study for the pratical part of the anatomy test. Haven’t got the results yet but I think I did fine!

[orangesalamander-but-studying]

10.05.20 / running low on motivation lately so i moved my desk to a different corner of the room. i’m frustrated over my routine falling apart–and maybe it’s because i’ve been trying to do so much in one day–but at the very least, tomorrow is monday and i can start fresh. hope you’re doing ok ♡
