Yesssssss

Here is a list of some YouTube ASMR ambiences/soundscapes (they’re all hyperlinked, so click away!) Unlike traditional ASMR, these videos do not feature any people. Talented YouTubers have used software to create rendered environments with layered sounds, with many of these ambiences inspired from fantasy to others based in reality. I find music with lyrics to be distracting sometimes, but these are great background noises for focusing, studying, doing homework, and even for relaxing. Enjoy and good luck ♡

Productivity Printables

Hey everyone! The semester has kicked off for many of us already, myself included, and I just gotta say, it’s been pretty crazy. I wanted to share some tools that have helped me and hopefully can help you too in having at least some semblance of organization this semester.

A couple notes: The first preview will show both high and low contrast versions. Remaining previews will show high contrast only but there are low contrast versions available. I have no idea why but the reviews may look different on different browsers/screens. They should print out fine, though. Click images for better quality, or go straight to the download link.

Anyway, here are the printables!

Hope you enjoy them, and if you’re looking for any of my printables, they all can be found in my Study Drive. Have an awesome semester!

They say that a clear space makes for a clear mind. This post will provide you with organization advice for your pencil case, backpack, desk, papers, and computer to help you function at your best!

PENCIL CASE

Don’t go overboard with the stationery. From personal experience, these are the absolute essentials you need to bring in your pencil case/pouch on a daily basis:

2 black or blue pens

2 pencils

lead refills (for mechanical pencils)

sharpener (for wooden pencils)

try to get a sharpener with a locking top so the shavings won’t spill out!

eraser

2 highlighters or colored pens

calculator (if your class requires one)

And these are some non-essential but useful items:

black Sharpie

correction tape

colored pencils (useful for drawing diagrams)

mini stapler

6-inch ruler

sticky notes and page flags

if your writing utensils are expensive and you don’t want them getting stolen, maybe bring an extra cheap pencil you feel comfortable lending out

Group writing utensils together with rubber bands. Save yourself the hassle of rummaging through your entire pouch to find one particular pen. Make groups of all your similar writing utensils (ex: pencils, gel pens, felt-tip pens, highlighters, colored pencils), then tie each group together with a rubber band for easy access.

BACKPACK

Get an actual backpack. If you’re carrying more than one or two books, please please please get a normal, two-strapped backpack (and make sure to wear both straps!). Tote bags, purses, and messenger bags are terrible for your shoulders and spine.

Place the heaviest items closest to your back. Textbooks and binders should go in the largest pocket, while your cell phone, novel, pencil case, etc. should go in the front. This helps distribute the weight better and prevent back strain.

Alternate the directions of your binders to fit more. Don’t put all of your binders facing the same direction like this. Instead, alternate the direction like this– put the first binder in with the rings on the left, then flip the second binder so the rings are on the right, and so on. This also works for spiral notebooks to prevent the spirals from getting caught with one another!

I recommend keeping the following things in your bag:

pencil case

obviously, books, notes, homework, binders, and anything else required for class

planner

phone + earbuds

house keys

water bottle

granola bar and/or dollar bills to buy snacks from the vending machine

hair ties

lip balm

gum or breath mints

tissues

feminine hygiene products

travel-sized hand sanitizer/wipes

DESK

Make “to-do” and “done” piles. Each evening when I get home, I take out all the work I have to get done and put it in a “to-do” pile. This pile is usually a mixture of textbooks I have to take notes from, worksheets I have to complete, flashcards I have to review, and books I have to annotate. As I complete my work over the course of the night, I move the finished items from the “to-do” pile into a separate “done” pile. At the end of the night, I take everything out of the “done” pile and pack it into my backpack to turn in the next day. This is by no means necessary to stay organized, but I’ve found that keeping a physical representation of both what needs to be done and how much I’ve accomplished is extremely motivating.

Take advantage of vertical space. If your desktop space is limited, make use of magazine holders, caddies, and stacking letter trays to hold more papers while taking up minimal surface area.

Use cable ties and labels to manage your electrical cords. Winding up excess cord, tying it with a cable tie, and labeling it with tape will keep your desk neat, keep your mischievous pets safe, and prevent you from tripping.

Book stands are your friends. Book stands can prop up your giant textbooks and save you desktop space. They also make reading for long periods of time more comfortable, since you can look straight ahead instead of down.

Keep a trash can and recycling bin within easy reach. This is a great way to prevent paper clutter. You won’t be tempted to leave junk papers lying around if there’s a bin right next to you.

Do a seasonal deep-cleaning. Every few months or so, take everything off of your desk and do a complete overhaul. Dust off the eraser shavings from the corners. Wipe down the surface with an antibacterial wipe. Go through all of your stuff before putting it back– if you find papers you don’t need anymore or pens that have dried up, don’t put them back.

PAPERS

I personally use a 1-inch binder for every subject. I like binders because they’re durable, easily dividable/rearrangeable, and they keep papers from falling out. Separating each subject makes it super easy to grab the work I need for just one class– for example, if I want to study math at the library, I can take that one binder and go, as opposed to lugging the papers for three other subjects along with me.

Within each binder, I keep 5 dividers. The labels on the dividers vary for each class but generally they include notes, handouts, graded work, and reference materials.

If you’re looking for lighter binder alternatives: consider 2-pocket folders, accordion folders, or binder/notebook hybrids.

Keep your papers in good shape. If you’re using binders, consider splurging on either reinforced loose-leaf paper or adhesive reinforcements so you don’t end up with a bunch of papers dangling halfway out of your binder. If you have a tendency to accidentally tear your papers or spill coffee on them, you may want to scan everything into your computer as soon as you get it so you can always print out a second copy if the first one gets destroyed.

Keep a “general” folder. Get a pocket folder and fill it with extra lined, graph, and blank paper. You can also keep other general things like your schedule, a map of your school, your report card, and/or school announcements in here. Take this folder with you to every class.

Organize weekly. No matter how well-oiled your system is, you’re inevitably going to end up shoving some papers into a random pocket. Once a week, take some time to rearrange things, put papers back where they belong, and hole-punch anything your teacher didn’t.

Transfer regularly. After we finish the first unit, I always ask my teacher if I can take out my old papers and keep them at home. The vast majority of the time, the answer is yes. I transfer all my papers from completed units from my 1-inch binder to large 3-inch binders that I keep on my bookshelf. I label each topic within them with page flags for quick reference. This way I have all the resources to study for midterms/finals, but I don’t have to carry them to school every day.

Purge yearly. At the end of the school year, I recycle all of my papers. The exception is papers for subjects I’m continuing with the next year. For example, if I’m taking US History II next year, I’ll save my US History I papers because there’s a good chance I’ll need to refer to them later. If you’re not sure whether you’ll take a subject again, I’d recommend keeping the papers in the big binder just in case.

COMPUTER

Create a folder for each class. All of your files for one class should go into the same folder. If you have a big project that involves several files, you can make a project folder within a class. At the end of the school year, you may want to combine all of your class folders into a giant grade-level folder so your old files don’t clutter up your desktop.

Save your files properly. When you’re in a rush, it’s tempting to save your essay as “asdjksdfj” to the desktop, but your future self will thank you if you take ten extra seconds to give it a sensible name and save it into a class folder.

Use separate desktops for separate contexts. I have three different desktops on my laptop: school (for academic work), extracurriculars (for managing this blog and the other clubs/activities I’m involved in), and fun (for Netflix and online shopping). Keeping these three aspects of my life on separate desktops allows me to draw the line between work and play. I won’t get distracted by having Tumblr open next to my history project, and I can focus better on the task at hand when I “switch off” from one desktop and go to another. Learn how to set up separate desktops on your computer here: {Windows//Mac}.

Tag your documents. Create a tagging system to make your files easier to search for. Your tags can be by type (“essay”, “notes”) or section (“chapter 1″, “unit 8″).

Backup your devices weekly. Accidents happen, so always be prepared. Make sure to backup your computer, phone, tablet, etc. to cloud storage or an external hard drive every week. Or at the very least, get Google Photos, which will automatically backup your photos from your phone.

reblog if you:

- flinch away when someone touches you.

- panic when you accidentally break an object.

- get scared when someone walks behind you.

- feel your heart rate increase at every sudden noise.

- are easily panicked by slightly-louder-than-normal sounds.

- stare apprehensively at your bedroom doorway for hours at night.

- have trouble making eye contact with people.

- always feel either too mature or too immature for your age.

- simultaneously crave and be terrified of physical contact.

because i do all of these

What they’re doing is not right!!! They’re only making things bad for actual writers and bloggers on this page, not the people they are after!

Join us on the 17th and protest

For everyone’s information:

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:

Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th

Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad

Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion

Come back on the 18th and check in

Don’t:

Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)

Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.

Open the app or website (including specific blogs)

Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)

Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.

What a kid is taught, is what a kid becomes

Mr. Turner (via girlmeetsworldfanblog)

other people succeeding and achieving things (school, jobs, relationships, etc.) before you do, does not make you a failure. it doesn’t make you bad at these things. it just means some things are going to take a little more time for you than it will for other people. you have time. there are no rules or deadlines by which you have to achieve and experience things. there’s too much pressure to have all these things done by your early to mid twenties but you have your whole life to figure yourself out and do what you want. you are doing your best and that’s what matters. i’m proud of you and you are going to be okay.
