Marauders while studying
Sirius (slamming his book shut): okay so how important is this whole school thing anyway? I mean so what if I never graduate? I like my life and I certainly don't wanna be one of those people who's never satisfied with what they have, you know? I mean some people don't have legs or arms. I have legs and arms. What more could I possibly want than legs and arms?
Remus:
James:
Peter:
Sirius: I mean I could take all the classes in the world that's still not gonna give me what I already have.
Remus: Legs and arms?
Sirius: Yes
James:
Peter:
Sirius: Am i sounding completely crazy?
Remus: Yes you are.

I Am All In Rewatch - Jess & Rory - Episode 2x10
So their sleigh ride their accidental sleigh ride their unintentional sleigh ride. I mean, we've got to protect Rory...You know, Jess jumped in there, um you know that was it made it clear to me and I think the audience that he's kind of more up her alley there with the literature...And she got caught looking at him. I mean Dean, Dean nailed her from across the room. There was a look....Rory has some damage. I mean, she she covers it well. She you know, she's self analytical, she's very bright. She understands what her issues are, and she probably resolved them a lot of them on her own or just with conversations with Lorelai...Because they're they're they're highly psychological couple. I mean they're highly aware. Um uh. And I think I think she has that in common with Jess. I think that the hurt and the pain that he feels is the same hurt and from the rejection his mother rejecting him is the same thing that Rory probably felt with Christopher when when you know they he decided to go off to California or wherever he went, you know what I mean. I mean, she didn't have a father that lives...that leaves a huge hole in your life. Um, and I think, you know, that's what hit me so deeply in this episode. There's a couple of things that was The first thing is like, is knowing the pain of being rejected by a parent is is searing and it's deep. And I think it's how they're connecting. I think, whether they know it or not, that's it. That's the glue and that's why it's gonna work. -Scott

Fitz Vacker is Nothing New, Taylor Swift, Rory Gilmore coded
-Expectations and the promise of perfection. 'They tell you while you're young, girls go out and have your fun' Balancing precariously on a tightrope that was always too thin. 'Then they hunt and slay the ones who actually do it' A rope that was never strong enough to hold anything more than dreams. 'and my cheeks are growing tired, from turning red and faking smiles' Realizing reality is heavy and the rope is fraying. 'Am I only biding time, till I lose your attention?' It's a long way down. And people are betting on the moment you break a sweat. 'Will you still want me, when I'm nothing new?'
Keefe Scencen is Matilda, Harry Styles, Lorelai Gilmore coded
-Expectations and the promise of rebellion. 'And you're trying to lift off the ground with those old two wheels' Dangling precariously off a tight rope 'Nothing about the way that you were treated every seemed especially alarming till now' and white knuckling it to the other side. 'So you tie up your hair and you smile like it's no big deal' But the wind through you hair feels like flying, and you don't know how to land. 'You can let it go. You can throw a party full of everyone you know. And not invite your family 'cause they never showed you love' Never feeling fully secure, one misstep away from plummeting into the abyss. 'You don't have to feel sorry for leaving and growing up.'
They're on the same rope. But Fitz is too afraid to look down, and Keefe too is scared of what he'll find if he looks up.

becoming a better student ₊˚⊹♡
Prepare for your classes ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
Wake up on time. We don't want to be stressed first thing in the morning, right?
Eat breakfast. So you will be able to better focus in class.
Assigned reading and homework. Make sure you are prepared for your classes!! :)
Review your notes. Going through some of your flashcards before class is really helpful.
Check your bag and charge your devices. Ensure you have everything you need: Books, homework, chargers, pens, water...
In Class ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
Listen and pay attention. You can save yourself a lot of trouble by simply paying attention, trust me.
Take notes. My favourite note-taking method is the Cornell method; I can make a separate post on that!! <3
"Quick notes." If you struggle with note-taking, try taking quick and messy notes. You can clean them up once you get home!!
Engage. If you have any questions or don't understand something, make sure to ask!! Most teachers really appreciate students who speak up. :)
No distractions. Turn off your phone, no chatting, you'll be glad...
After class ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
Finish your assignments as soon as you can. Go home, put on a cosy outfit, have a snack, and get working!! <3
Prepare flash cards. A great way of reviewing your notes, too... :)
Update your Study schedule. Write down any assignment and due dates, reading you must do, upcoming tests, etc...
Clean up your notes. Review them, highlight the important parts, and maybe even make them look cute!! :)
Don't avoid topics/Subjects you dislike. I know it is tempting, but you can't avoid them forever, so you might as well get them done
Structure and routine ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
Goals and Priorities. Keep them realistic and manageable.
Time management. Having a set schedule makes studying less overwhelming; it takes some discipline but is so worth it!! <3
Develop a routine. Figure out what works best for you; I prefer studying in the morning or at night.
No "zero days". Even if you can only do a bit, do it!! NO. ZERO. DAYS.
Remember your goals. Dreams will keep you motivated; remind yourself of what you're working for!! <3
Self-care and balance ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
Don't forget about your hobbies. You need to do things that make you happy, so make time for those things!!
Maintain a balanced diet. I know chocolates and junk are tempting, especially when you are busy studying all day, but you're not doing yourself any favours.
Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. 8 Hours. Non-negotiable.
Exercise regularly. Even if it's just a walk, put on some headphones, listen to music, and give yourself a break. <3
Care for your social life. Reach out to your friends, make plans, and keep in touch; a good work-life balance is critical!!
Romanticising ˚୨୧⋆。˚ ⋆
Study dates. Meet up with your friends at a cosy cafe, discuss your work, and have some fun!! Studying doesn't have to be all serious all the time ;)
Silly Pinterest boards. Visualising your goals will help you find motivation!!
Music to set the mood. I have a bunch of playlists on my Spotify that might help!! <3
Cosy sweater and candles. The cosy Rory Gilmore vibes haha...
Getting a coffee before class. A little treat before things get serious... Simple pleasures, you know? :)
Babes, The hiatus is OVER, and I'm finally back!! I got a lot of asks on studying, burnout, and school in general, so I thought, why not start off with a little student guide?? I Hope October has been kind to you, and school hasn't been too overwhelming (though I know it, unfortunately, has been for many of you), and I'm glad to finally be back!! <33
As always, Please feel free to add your own suggestions and tips in the comments!!
✩‧₊*:・love ya ・:*₊‧✩
