Some motivation with beautiful pictures.

005/100

I decided to do one of the “what’s in my school bag?” things.

Firstly, I’d just like to express my thanks to my faithful bag- I lug its huge soul everywhere and it has not once complained of showed any signs of stress. It’s somewhat like a Mary Poppins bag. Thank you, beloved bag.

I’ve got my Kikki K planner, which is an absolute lifesaver. I love it to bits. The A4 notebook which I use for random scribbles and things that don’t belong in my subject books. Then my textbook, which I’m always having to stop myself from highlighting in- I’ll be able to sell it one day I’m sure. My two subject books, these are awesome. I picked them (and about 5 others… oops) up from Kmart for $3! My beautiful pencil case which I get complimented on everywhere- it’s actually a makeup bag from Napoleon! It’s so lovely though. And my laptop, wallet, lip balm, and a collection of different medicines which I’m forever forgetting to take with me- perks of having a chronic illness that gives me zombie brain 🙈

Something a little different to answer the question of ‘How should I study?’ I’ve done some research on the main three learning types- visual, auditory and kinesthetic, so just see which one fits you best (you might be more than one), and try out the six most popular methods I’ve found for each. For reference, I’m a visual learner, can you tell? Haha!

How to get out stains using other things

“Oh captain, my captain.”
