weird study tip:

if u don’t feel motivated, pretend ur in a movie or tv show. you know the scenes where they’re on their bed with their feet tucked up and crossed at the ankle, and they’re cracking open highlighters with their teeth and poring over a textbook with smooth rock music playing? that. bonus points for a perfect messy bun and spencer hastings outfit.

Hi emma. So sorry if this was asked before but can you give me a list of apps for phone that can be useful in my studies?? Thank you so much and sorry to bother you.

Hey! This is an updated version of my old post on apps - I’ll probably upload this as a new post though. I’ll * my few faves.

ive said it once and ill say it again but if you live in like . california or another state where lgbt shit is decently accepted please be mindful of the fact that others have it worse than you. Indiana very recently tried to pass laws that allow for same sex couples to be banned from restaurants, in lots of states conversion therapy is still legal, and gay people are still beat for simply existing. think about that please

Hey guys! As you may or may not know, my lovely little blog recently reached 8,000+ followers. I hope you all find inspiration in my blog just like I find inspiration from so many of you in the studyblr community :-) So, to celebrate this milestone, I will be hosting a giveaway!

studyblr intro post!

Who am I?

My name is Ellie. I’m 16 years old and will be going into my junior year of high school in September. I’m a scorpio sun with an aquarius moon and I’m an INFP. I plan to study nursing in college, specifically psychiatric. I am a native English speaker, and took two years of German classes, but decided to stop taking the class, despite still wanting to learn the language.

What am I into?

I really like finding new television shows to watch, astrology, and learning about interesting topics.

Why did I make a studyblr?

I am not very good at school. I pass by all means but I don’t always do my best. I’m unorganized, have sloppy handwriting, am lazy when it comes to small assignments, and procrastinate until the morning anything is due. I hope that by trying to make a studyblr, I will be more motivated to succeed.

What will I post?

I will mostly be reblogging helpful tips that I find, in no way passing them off as my own. I will be looking for studying tips, language learning advice, and some non-studying related tips, such as self care and playlists.

What are my goals?

1) To become motivated to succeed both school and in my social life

2)To be able to study effectively

3) To be happy with my ability to complete schoolwork

Thank you for reading and have a great day!

✧ Disney Playlists in Different Languages ✧

I’ve seen loads of Disney songs posts floating around, but I couldn’t find one which had playlists instead of individual songs. So here’s a compilation of different playlist with over 40 languages. 

DISCLAIMER: I didn’t make the playlists, that being said if the language you were looking for isn’t on here, it’s because I couldn’t find a complete playlist but search specific songs and I’m sure you’ll find them. Anyway,  happy learning!

Everything You Need To Know About MLA Format

General Format:

8.5 x 11 inch paper

Double spaced

Times New Roman font

12 pt font

Only one space after each period

1 inch margins on all sides

Indent the first line of each paragraph by half an inch

Use a header that includes your last name and page number in the top right hand corner

The First Page:

In the upper left hand corner:

Your Name

Your Instructor’s Name

The Class Title

The Date (Day Month Year)

The title of your paper should be one double-space down and should not be bolded, italicized, or underlined

The beginning of your paper should start one double-space down from the title with the first line indented by half an inch

What to Italicize and Quote:

Book titles are italicized

Play titles are italicized

Poem titles have quotation marks

Article titles have quotation marks

Chapter titles have quotation marks

In-Text Citations:

When you know the author’s last name

(Last Name Page Number) or

(Last Name Paragraph or Line Number)

When you don’t know the author’s last name

(Book Title Page Number)

(Article Title Page Number)

Remember to italicize the book titles and put the article titles in quotation marks

Works Cited Page:

Begin your Works Cited page on a separate page at the end of your research paper. It should have the same one inch margins and header as the rest of your paper

Label the page “Works Cited” (do not italicize or put in quotations) on the top of the page and center it

Double space all citations but do not skip spaces between entries

Indent the second line of a citation by half an inch

List sources in alphabetical order

If the source has more than one author, the first given name appears in last name, first name format and the following authors appear in last name, first name format separated by commas. The last author’s name should be preceded by an “and”

Citing Print Sources:

Book or Poem:

Last Name, First Name. Title of Book or Poem. City of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. Print.

Magazine or Newspaper Article:

Last Name, First Name. “Title of Article.” Title of Periodical Day Month Year: pages. Print.

Journal Article:

Last Name, First Name. “Title of Article.” Title of Journal Volume.Issue (Year): pages. Print.

Citing Web Sources:

Whole Website:

Name of Site. Sponsor or Publisher, date of resource creation. Web. Date of access. 

Web Page or Web Article:

Last Name, First Name. “Title of Article.” Name of Site. Sponsor of Publisher, date of resource creation. Web. Date of access.

Online Journal Article:

Last Name, First Name. “Title of Article.” Title of Journal Volume.Issue (Year): pages. Web. Date of access. 

Note: Don’t forget to indent the second line in the citation. I did not indent the examples because the indents on tumblr mobile and tumblr desktop differ starkly and I figured this was probably the less confusing way to write the information needed for a citation (trust me)

Unknown Information in Citations:

If the author is unknown, begin citation with the title

If the publisher is unknown, write “n.p.” in its place (no quotation marks)

If the publishing date is unknown, write “n.d.” in its place (no quotation marks)

Some days I truly believe in the universe’s ability of giving us moments. Not just any moments, but the ones where you feel the sheer bliss of existing in that time frame. The ones you wouldn’t trade for anything else. And something always hits me in these moments - that I’d miss it when it’s over. The sound, the view, and all the smiles and laughter. Even the silence at times. Maybe it’s my fear of endings. Or maybe it’s just not knowing when the next one could be. And I know there can be days that make you believe lesser in them. Maybe even make you feel there are no more of these moments left for you. But one thing I’ll continue to believe in is that although the universe has a habit of taking a lot away, but it gives us just enough. Maybe not all that you wish for at the same time. But partly in these moments.

“True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us." 

I want to be the best version of myself. I want to be proud of myself. I want to love myself. I want to achieve my goals. I want to be happy.

It is hard to follow ones dream, to be disciplined, to study, to work out, to eat healthy, etc. Everything that we should do is hard, nothing is easy at all. Yet I would rather exert myself than hate myself and my way of living.

I am ready to change. I want to change.
