Whew! - I finally did it.
Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing okay during these really weird times :)
So my friend, @studywithprincess, convinced me to start a studyblr which (fingers cross!) will actually keep me accountable throughout the summer holidays.
I'm going to post about a variety of things: study tips and advice, memes to keep us going, what I'm working on and, of course, what I'm studying. I'll be reposting helpful and inspiring posts too but one thing that I'm definitely going to post about is actually a subject that I don't study (economics) but I thought it would sound cool to say I blogged about in my personal statement.
Anyways ... if you're not completely bored yet, here's more about me:
About Moi
There is really only one thing you should know about me:
As you can probably tell, I like to talk - a lot - which means my responses are about 1.5x longer than the average person.
No, but seriously, I'm really excited to become part of this community and join the cult status of being an actual serious candidate.
The Basics
My name's Danielle (although you've probably figured that out by now)
I'm 17, turning 18 in September (where my Libras at?)
I live in England and, no, I don't like tea :(
Academics:
I'm an IB student in Year 12 (11th grade). I know, I know, I chose a painful route but to be fair, A-levels isn't looking easier! I take HL Global Politics, Philosophy and Maths and SL English Lit, Biology and French.
Right now, I'm focusing on my coursework and starting my revision (because I'm a serious candidate now) as well as writing my personal statement which was actually due a week ago :)
Also, a question for American students who do IB - do any of you do the IB in 3 years? If so, I'm really jealous.
Interests:
I mean, I like a lot of things. Here are a few of them and if you like these too, I'd love to geek out with you!
Style and fashion theory
Social media marketing
Watching "nerdy" videos - my faves are Extra History and any of CGP Grey's and Kurtzgesagt's videos
Reading
Learning languages (I'm trying to learn French right now)
Sports - mainly running and rugby
No. 1 has to be sleeping though - there's nothing like a good night and day of sleep.
Anyways, enough about me. You probably follow these people already but in case you don't, you totally should!
Studyblrs I Stalk:

Well, that’s all I’ve got for now. It’s really nice to put myself out here into this amazing community and I’m so excited to start posting and meeting you all. First up tomorrow, 100 days of productivity.

5. going to a nearby cafe to study when i start to get lethargic at home ☕️🍰
6. finishing all my notes a week before exams: i know this is hard but this really helps me feel more prepared and less stressed for the exam week 💻📚
7. put on lofi music/ cafe jazz (i usually cant memorise content with music on but when i’m just studying, i like some background music!!) 🎹🎼
8. make sure there’s light when you’re studying!!!! dark places just make me sooo sleepy ☀️💡
