Please like/ reblog if you like or want to use! Thank you xox

my junior year starts tomorrow :/ and i just wanted to give u guys some of the tips ive picked up over the years !!
- when u wake up drink a lot of cold water to shake off the grogginess
- invest 100% of urself towards ur goals ! focus on urself :]
- u only get 1 first impression: make it a good one! try to avoid sweatpants for like the first week of school show ur teachers that u care
- if u get to choose ur seats: sitting in the front has always helped me bc u end up paying attention more and avoid distractions in class
- honestly the only way to study is to test urself ~ try to take rly good notes that u can use to test how much u actually know ~ it always works for me
- do not pull all nighters pls pls do not do that its not a good idea
- be an active student!!!! dont assume someone will ask the question u have ~ participate in class and ask questions when u dont understand the material
- mess always will create stress imo : getting organized helps everyone
- if u have big exams at the end of the school year [ap, finals, etc] make ur study materials during the year at the end of each chapter or unit ~ it cuts down ur work right before the exam
- always carry a lil bag with essentials like lip balm, feminine products, keys, id, hand sanitizer, hair ties, bobbi pins, etc
- u dont have to highlight everything but make sure u understand everything that u read / write
- schedule free time + make it a part of ur daily bujo spread if u want!
- do all of ur homework, even if it ‘doesnt count’ or it optional ~ it will help u in the long run bc u will probs score higher on tests!
- try to sleep at the same time every night: its rly hard but definitely worth it bc u feel a lot more refreshed in the morning
- the best way to ace tests is to overlearn the material !!! u should be able to do a brain dump of the whole chapter on a blank sheet of paper

Harry Potter
Griffindor Common Room - You’re sitting in a comfortable chair in front of the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room as the evening wind swirls against the windows.

Slytherin Common Room - You are a 5th year at Hogwarts and you’re sitting in the Slytherin Common Room trying to stay awake and study but you’ve never been a very studious person so your eyelids are getting heavy and you find yourself falling asleep in a brown recliner while two other Slytherins are able to stay awake with the aid of coffee. There aren’t any windows for you to see outside, but since the common room is submerged under the lake you can faintly hear the sound of water just on the other side of the walls. > http://harry-potter-sounds.ambient-mixer.com/slytherin-common-room
Ravenclaw Common Room - It’s exam season, and you’re cramming for your NEWTs. The common room is full of Ravenclaws, wide-eyed and caffeinated. Pull up a chair, grab your charms homework and get studying! > http://harry-potter-sounds.ambient-mixer.com/ravenclaw-common-room
Hufflepuff Common Room - You’re sitting in one of the comfy chairs in front of the wooden fireplace carved with badgers, someone’s cat (You’ve named it fluffball) sitting beside you. The kitchens are in full force and in full raid by students. Occasionally you can hear someone’s footsteps by the windows, but you’re took focused on your charms homework. You’re a Hufflepuff and proud, and what would you be if not hardworking? > http://harry-potter-sounds.ambient-mixer.com/hufflepuff-commonroom

High garden Party - “At Highgarden we have many spiders amongst the flowers. So long as they keep to themselves we let them spin their little webs, but if they get underfoot we step on them.” > http://got.ambient-mixer.com/highgarden-party
Dinner in Winterfell - It’s been a long day of battle, you want warmth and the comfort of food, drink and conversation. The fire is roaring, fighting the chill of the cold castle walls. > http://got.ambient-mixer.com/late-dinner-in-winterfell
The Wall - "…It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.” > http://got.ambient-mixer.com/the-wall
Kings Landing - The busy capital of Westeros welcomes you. You walk amongst rich and poor alike, people selling their wares as they are bartered for them, knights try out their new swords whilst their squires tend to the horses. Someone somewhere a harp is played. > http://got.ambient-mixer.com/king-s-landing
Doctor Who
Inside the Tardis - The doctor has invited you to take a trip with him in the Tardis, the world’s most famous blue police box!Don’t be fooled by the sounds of the engine in the background, the Tardis is way more than “just a machine”! > http://dr-who.ambient-mixer.com/inside-the-tardis
Run from Weeping Angels - As long as you see them, they can’t hurt you. Don’t turn around! Don’t blink! Or they’ll get you! Where is the Doctor when you need him the most?> http://dr-who.ambient-mixer.com/weeping-angels

Elves are good and helpfull, but between dwarves from Lonely Mountain and Elvenking is hostility, which can destroy all hopes for Thorin, his friends and people from Laketown. > http://lotr-sounds.ambient-mixer.com/woodland-realm
Supernatural
Riding with the Winchesters - Dozing in the backseat of the Impala on the way to a little town in Indiana where a woman was found missing a heart on the night of the full moon, you hear the sound of the Winchester’s trying not to wake you during the long drive. Sam is diligently working the case file as Dean keeps his eyes on the road. Hang tight, it’ll be a while before they stop for a re-fuel. > http://supernatural-series.ambient-mixer.com/riding-with-the-winchesters

Cheap Motel Room - Eventually, you reach a one-stoplight town and settle in for the night. The AC is broken, so the window is opened. You can smell the wet gravel outside, and warm summer-night air bleeds into the room, carrying with it sounds of the highway. > http://supernatural-series.ambient-mixer.com/cheap-motel–room
Sleeping Next to Dean - Quiet enough that you can curl up with your pillow and sleep warm in Dean’s arms on a rainy night. He’s definitely a cuddler. > http://supernatural-series.ambient-mixer.com/sleeping-next-to-dean
Research with the Boys - Instead of thinking of that pesky history assignment as an essay, pretend you’re in a motel room with the Winchesters researching for a big case. Noises include keyboard typing and mouse clicks, writing on paper, random chair creaks, white noise, and the sound of a knife sharpening for good measure. (Because we all know Dean’s a little obsessed with keeping his weapons in top shape) > http://supernatural-series.ambient-mixer.com/research-with-the-winchesters

For once he almost could feel at peace, at least until Thor barges in, but for now the lyrical silence of Asgard is the only sound he hears > http://superhero.ambient-mixer.com/loki-s-chambers
Stark and Banner Lab - Because in Avengers tower, Tony and Bruce’s lab is the quietest place around. You sit in your comfy armchair in the corner of the lab and relax with your book, occasionally hearing Bruce scribble something and Tony sigh because 2048 is tricky. http://superhero.ambient-mixer.com/the-stark—banner-lab
Mad Hatter’s Tea Party - You’re invited to join the tea party.. we’re all mad here > http://movies-other.ambient-mixer.com/mad-tea-party
