the universal bonding experience of being a woman in a classroom where a man thinks he’s smarter than the professor just because he reads the news every other tuesday……unparalleled. 

i daydream of posting “bye” leaving tumblr forever and driving 12 hours away and throwing my phone in a culvert. too bad this will never happen because my phone is my soulmate and instead i tuck her lovingly into bed every night

Let’s face it- even the most motivated and disciplined students can’t study for a couple of hours straight- we all need to rest. Taking a break  from studying every now and then will improve your focus and attention. Below are some of our ideas what to do during study breaks. We divided them into categories depending on the length of  your break. Feel free to try them out to later get back to your books refreshed and motivated!

5-10 minutes

Get some fresh air (either go outside, or simply stand up and go to the nearest window- don’t focus on anything and just breathe)

Leave your room/desk and go for a little walk

Throw yourself a little dance party (Cristina and Meredith did it and trust us, it works- put on some energising music and dace for a song or two)

Stand up and stretch!

10-20 minutes

Make yourself a proper, healthy snack (cut an apple into slices and put peanut butter on every slice or make yourself a healthy smoothie)

Watch a TedTalk on a completely unrelated topic (it will both relax you and still keep your brain working)

Do a little yoga (there are multiple mini-routines on youtube)

Browse the #studyblr tag (or maybe post your own photo with it!)

Take a quick shower (if you have a real study marathon ahead of you, a shower break can be a great way to get energised)

20-40 minutes

Call a friend

Clean your room (sounds pretty boring, but you’ll feel refreshed and super-productive once you’re done- and you won’t have to do this later!)

Take a nap (but really, try not to make it longer than 40 minutes)

Watch ONE episode of Friends (nothing better than a good laugh, right?)

 40-60 minutes

Workout (go for a 30-minute run or find a workout video on youtube- you’ll end up energised and full of endorphins, which will help you to keep going)

Try a new recipe and make yourself dinner for later

Read a chapter of a book you’re currently reading (if you’re not reading any- start a book)

STEM wlw

the girls with guts. these girls have so much drive and ambition, plowing their way through a male-dominated field with intensity and success that can only be dreamed about. pencils tucked behind their ears, calculators stuffed in their pockets, notes scribbled haphazardly in countless notebooks, they take on the world. some of these girls love science, love to learn about the changes of the tide or the environment or how to mix different chemicals. some love math, love how everything always lines up so perfectly, love the exhilaration of finally figuring out a difficult equation. no matter what their passions are specifically, these girls are the next generation of geniuses.
