Studyblrs

Is this the right place to post this?

Does anyone have a studyblr? I've seen a few mentions in passing on the forums but no particular post that connects all of us together! 

Studyblrs have such great resources and amazing people, but the Aussie studyblr community is hard to find!

UM YES!

Proud studyblr/studygramer for 1 year! There's actually a studyblr blog for HSC students called HSC 2018 Network if anyone needs any study resources!

Omgg yes! A friend and I tried to start a hsc network blog (titled thefaultinouratars) but it didn't work out

I find studyblr helps motivate me to study productively. Even if I don't post about it, I know that the work I did that day was studyblr-worthy How do you find studyblr?

I started making a studyblr account because it encourages me to study even more. Like, if I study, then I have something to post. I found it beneficial for myself; the likes and follows are just there as a minor form of encouragement. It actually took me a while to make a studyblr account because I used to post in my personal account back in Year 10 but people gave me so much crap for 'showing off how much I study.' But when I started a studyblr account, I didn't end up caring about what people in my school thought because there's a studying community out there who enjoy studyblr as much as I do!

I mean, studyblr is very motivating but the longer I've been in the community, the more flaws I can see in the system. Like, there are a lot of complaints how these studyblrs are promoting expensive stationery when most students are generally broke. Or how people can literally post a handful of mildliners/Muji store and still get 1000+ likes.

Don't get me wrong, I love studyblr and how it promotes healthy study habits but it never paints the correct picture of how studying should be. In my first few posts, I posted a lot of my notes but these days I post more of my desk when I'm studying because study notes doesn't equate to studying; to me, making study notes is therapeutic, yet is useful for exams. These days, the studyblr tag is filled with calligraphy, mildliners, and aesthetic study notes but does that mean you're actually absorbing the information?

I have so many opinions about the studyblr community yet I enjoy being part of the community. I usually have these conversations with fellow Aussie studyblr/studygramers!

Absolutely agree! I went through that studyblr stationery craze and besides the initial month of hype, I didn't find them all that useful. Especially since I type my notes for my classes in uni. Aesthetic notes are great (I had relatively aesthetic notes for year 12 and it helped me make visual associations with the content), but if you're doing it for the prettiness, it's just not worth the time

And sometimes, you can get better use out of a cheaper product! A friend of mine got a moleskine for the reputation, but then found that the pages were absurdly thin. I've discovered that Miniso's stationery are designed to look like MUJI, Pentel, Uniball etc. pens, but for way cheaper!

I still love studyblr for the people that I've met on it though, and probably won't be getting off it for a while!

Moleskine is expensive as hell! Just looking at the prices in Officeworks makes me wanna cry because it's like $15 for a notebook! Definitely not worth it! I actually bought mildliners because of how studyblr loves mildliners. They were relatively cheap for a 30 pack but there are some colours that I don't even use. But yeah, Muji is a studyblr favourite (and it's cheap) and Pentel is a classic favourite. I don't usually purchase Miniso stationery but their gel pens are AMAZING! It didn't last as long as I wanted it to last but it's so pretty and the ink is so smooth!

Yes, me! Tend to stick with the older crowd though as they tend to be less focused on aesthetics.

Anyone else watch study-orientated videos on YouTube? Who are your favourite Studytubers?

I'm subscribed to studyquill but I'm not an avid fan of her- only watch her from time to time. I do watch emma studies, who happens to be one of my mutuals

I do watch studytee considering her Instagram posts are quite aesthetic. But usually, I just type in Study With Me on Youtube and choose a random video and play it in the background.

I don't have a studyblr but really thinking of starting one, or a studygram! Do you guys have any handy tips or tricks?

Hey there,
There's not really a lot of tips that I can say because I literally started posting study pictures on Instagram because it gave me more reasons to study, in the sense that if I study, then I have something to post. If someone happens to like my photos, great! Then both of us can be motivated to study. Essentially, you should be posting because you enjoy studying, not because of the followers or the sponsorships- those are just the bonus things that come with being part of a studygrammer. However, posting photos (in good lighting) consistently is a good place to start. You don't have to edit your photos- I didn't start photo editing until half way through last year. I started simple with posting study notes and then I changed my feed because my experiences with studying/studyblr/studygram community has changed. It's all about self-growth.

Think of it like your portfolio!

Hope this helps!
