Back To School - Blog Posts

I also recommend to put together a small first aid kit with bandages, band aids, ibuprofen and paracetamol... Things that might come in handy, and if you are like me and eat at school to have a tooth brush and toothpaste.

Backpack basics!

Notebooks/Binders

Black & blue pen

Pencil

Highligters

Hygiene kit (tissues, deodorant, period products if you menstruate/have friends that do, something in case of headache/allergy/other)

Textbooks

Headphones

Phone charger

I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

#PAIN #vtuber #fyp #school #backtoschool

I dislike the fact that I have to eat even when I don't feel hungry because I know for a fact I'll be straving later in class

And that I also have to go to the school canteen to eat..with other people..and noise..

School has started... and oh God for what sins you're doing this to me? From now on I need to stydy, meet those idiots from my class everyday and wake up early in the morning ;-;

Top Study Tips from NASA

Study smarter this school year! We asked scientists, engineers, astronauts, and experts from across NASA about their favorite study tips – and they delivered. Here are a few of our favorites:

Study with friends

Find friends that are like-minded and work together to understand the material better. Trading ideas with a friend on how to tackle a problem can help you both strengthen your understanding.

Create a study environment

Find a quiet space or put on headphones so you can focus. You might not be able to get to the International Space Station yet, but a library, a study room, or a spot outside can be a good place to study. If it’s noisy around you, try using headphones to block out distractions.

Take breaks

Don’t burn yourself out! Take a break, go for a walk, get some water, and come back to it.

fall '23 challenge day one

day 1: what classes are you taking this semester and which are you most excited for?

I am taking 18 credits this semester split up between six classes. on mondays and wednesdays I only have one class which is digital imaging which is basically just photography. I am also helping out with the tv news class this semester.

on tuesdays and thursdays I have reporting and news writing as well as intro to video production. also I have a once a week class on tuesdays which is called journalism in film that's two and a half hours.

along with my in-person classes I am taking two asynchronous classes which are nutrition and intro to sociology. I am horrible with online classes so let's hope that I do okay in these this semester.

on top of all these I am in a sorority where I am the membership and recruitment director, I am a writer for my school's newspaper, I am a secretary for another club, and I'm trying to gauge interest for another one.

I am definitely excited for journalism in film we'll basically just be watching a bunch of movies together. I am also very excited for nutrition as it has been something I have always been interested in. Intro to video production is another one that I'm really looking forward to, because I love working with video and we get to produce variety shows at the end of it. the last one I'm excited for is sociology because I think I am going to love my professor. I think this just goes to show that I am really excited for this semester.

long time no see

hey y'all so i may have completely let go of this challenge. now that i'm getting ready to head back to school for my sophomore year i really want to try again with some new prompts. i'm going to once again only do it for days i have class (so mon-thurs) and i may add in some extras to do.

anyway i'll see how well this works out, i still have about a week until i go back so maybe i'll post something between now and then. see y'all soon

i am not very good at this but i'm trying my best and that's all that matters

wed. 1.11.23 - what is your favorite weather to study in?

my favorite weather is easily either a super stormy night or a colder, windy day that's still sunny. i love having my window open in the winter and being able to feel the wind.

tues. 1.17.23 - how many books do you want to read this semester? this year?

my goal for this year is i think 20? i want to hit around that point, and i'm gonna try for 5 during the semester. i think that will allow for an achievable goal, while still focusing on my school work.

wed. 1.18.23 - what is your favorite place to eat on campus?

the market in between towers or the den. i get a popcorn chicken sub with pepperjack and mayo, honey mustard (the best condiment imo), lettuce, onion, and pickle. and then i go to the den and get an oreo milkshake made with strawberry ice cream. best combo. just off of campus is a really good pho place that i like though.

thurs. 1.19.23 - what is your favorite habit you’ve picked up since being in college?

easily going to the gym. i've been having so much fun creating workouts and i've been able to see myself getting stronger and its such a nice feeling.

off to a rough start

okay so this challenge completely slipped my mind yesterday and so i'm starting it today and i'm just going to do day one and two today.

mon. 1.9.23 - what do you hope to accomplish by doing this challenge?

i mostly hope to keep myself accountable for working on things and creating content. i also have a lot of things this semester, so i want something i can do daily to wind down and reflect on my day.

tues. 1.10.23 - what is your major and what classes are you taking this semester?

so i am majoring in media production with a radio/television production and management emphasis and minoring in communication studies, marketing, and esports management. i will also maybe pick up another major, but i am not sure what that will be yet (either multimedia journalism or something related).

i'm taking 16 credit hours this semester, which didn't feel like a lot when i signed up for the classes but now that i've made it through the syllabus days i think its so much. i am also working on our esports broadcasts (likely 3 days a week, but i'm not 100% sure yet), directing our news show, and hosting a 3 hour dj show in the morning as a requirement for one of my classes.

so i am taking:

media design

intro to audio production

media toolkit

esports business management

english 101p

anyway i am hopeful for this challenge and maybe i'll see some other people doing it!

the book i'm reading right now is love on the brain - ali hazelwood

today's song of the day is nobody move, nobody get hurt - we are scientists

today was an upper body workout day! i pushed myself a bit too hard all at once and felt a little sick afterwards.

okay so i'm going to try this for the first time. i made this so that i have one prompt for every day i'm in classes. i intend to stick with it, but i'll do my best. you also don't need to do this in the spring, there's nothing actually tying it to spring.

aim

i'm really just making this for me (and anyone else who'd like to do it) to kind of take a break at the end of the day.

i also really want to get into creating content, so i am hoping this is a way to kind of ease into it.

rules

if you do the challenge, use the tag #spring sem study challenge so i can see your posts.

this challenge will run from january to april for me

that being said, i wrote prompts for each day that i have classes for the spring semester. there's 60 prompts total, with a check point on day 30. that way if you want a shorter challenge you can have one.

i don't expect everyone to be able to post every day, so you can post catch-ups or answer in batches. i will be trying my best to post daily, but will likely end up needing to do catch-ups.

also i'll be adding a song of the day as well as what book i'm currently reading. i might include my workout for the day but who knows.

if you have any questions, feel free to send me an ask!
