I'm back and I'm ready to study more than ever (wow that sounds nerdy).
If you have been reading my excuses for not blogging regularly you have noticed that there is always a same reason for my blogging absence- school.
I'n a past few months I started taking school seriously. I took three extra exams and I'm trying to be ahead of my school work. But, of course, there are times when I just want to lay in bed whole day, read, watch Sherlock and be on Tumblr. It used to happen a lot, but then I discovered the studyblr tag. Studyblr is a type of blog that is posting about studying tips pens, notebooks and all the other things that make learning enjoyable. I followed around 100 different studyblr blogs and my dashboard was filled with pictures of other people studying, motivational quotes and links to websites that can help you study.
There is this one post that I've been stumbling across since forever and I kinda always wanted to do it, but never did... That post, ladies and gentleman, is the 30 days study challenge. Few weeks ago I decided to finally do it and here I am blogging about it. The thing is, I need something to motivate me to actually keep on track with doing it so I made a tumblr side blog. You can find that blog here :D.
And these are the tasks:
Day 01: find something that inspires you to hit the books
