Well guys, I finally did it! Keep reading to find the answers to one of the most asked questions on my blog- how do I take my studyblr/bullet journal photos?

Disclaimer: all photos I take are taken with an iPhone 6 and all photos in this post are unedited. The photos in this post were taken in two different rooms, but the concepts are all the same. Please keep in mind that this post is titled “How I take studylr photos”, not “How TO take studyblr photos”. Having said that, every step in this post shows how I personally like my photos to look, but there is no wrong way to take a photo! You guys were just curious about what my process is, so that’s exactly what I’m going to be showing you.

please don’t remove the credit thank you :)

October 2, 2016- Some cell diagrams I scribbled out in third period on Friday… Bio is slowly consuming me. 29 days until Halloween!

week 38. i got a cute pen pouch, so i patterned all this week’s notes after it ^_^🍋   ig 🍋 

Eating enough calories every day can feel like a juggling act with school and other activities. While it’s never a good idea to skip a meal, if you happen to miss breakfast, lunch, or dinner, here are some ways to make up for it later in the day.

Eisenhower Matrix: There are two categories. Urgent, and Important.

Something can be:

There is no formula for what to prioritize, but categorizing puts things in perspective. 

Categorize, decide what needs to be done, and do it!

Surviving O’s with Low Self-Esteem

O Level is already tough on its own with the intense syllabus, sleepless nights and endless piles of papers stacking on the table. Bring in low confidence into the mix and everything just became a lot worse. Everyone is scoring their As while your still stuck with an F for your A Math paper or you’ve been sent to the principal office countless times to remind you that you’re in deep shit. Ultimately, your self-esteem goes down the drain and you feel so worthless.

I’ve been there, done that. But hey, I came out alive with a decent grade and a scholarship, proving people how wrong they were for looking down on me. If you’re in this situation now, I’d like to share some stuff I did to make me feel better.

Get help from a counsellor.

I know, it’s scary sharing your problems with a stranger and sometimes visiting a counsellor comes with a stigma. However, speaking up is so much better than keeping in your problems and battling them yourself. Counsellors are equipped with various distressing exercises that they are more than grateful to share with you. My counselllor even gave me some studying tips. She also taught me to set realistic goals and deal with my low self-esteem. 

Stop comparing yourself to others.

We often compare ourselves with someone who has more, smarter or greater than us. Instead, start comparing with your past and present self! So what if you’re still getting a C5 for your biology paper instead of an A2 like your table partner? At least you’re no longer failing. An F9 to C5 is no joke, so give yourself a pat on the back.

Find a group of friends who is in the same situation as you.

You are never alone in this. There’s surely someone who’s struggling as well or might even be in a worse situation than you. These are the people who will understand what you’re going through the best. Make a study group with them and have some heart to heart talk as well. I was lucky enough to make friends with people in the same sinking boat as me. We’ve become the closest of friends and they’re truly one of the best things that came out of this shit hole.

Set realistic goals.

You need to be truthful to yourself so you won’t end up being hurt. Don’t aim for a 2-pointer when your L1R5 for prelim is more than 40 points. Ask yourself, is it attainable with the short amount of time you have? Don’t get me wrong, it’s still possible, but when you don’t meet the mark, you’ll lose all your confidence and it’ll be difficult to find the motivation to get back up. Even when you scored 9 points, you’ll be devastated because of the high expectation you put on yourself (yes, I’ve seen people crying because they scored 9 points which is in fact hella good)

Help yourself so others can help you.

Before others can reach out to you, you must be ready to get better. There’s no point of getting help from other people when you don’t even believe in yourself. Other people cannot fix you. You need to get better by yourself and truthfully, it’s all a mental game. Start telling yourself you can do it and you will!

Also good luck to all who’s taking their O’s this year! You’ll slay it!!

yay

10 September 2016 - Local Edition, Makati —– It’s my 2nd time to visit this place! My first one was when I studied for a neuro exam which I got a really good score on. So I’m taking my chances to study here for the pharma exam huhuhuhuhuhuhu. Oh well, we’ll see.

September spreads of my agenda. I can’t believe it’s already October and FAFSA is now open and I only have a month left to finish all my college apps. (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ ω °̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
