Must-Haves For Every Study Sesh 🙇🏻‍♀️🖇️

It's that time of year again — midterms szn…😭😩 I'm not sure about you, but it's really difficult for me to get into the studying mood and stay productive when I study. + I get distracted so easily?? (which also explains why I cannot study at home..) 🥲 Well, here are just some essential items to get me in the right frame of mind whenever I start my study sessions! 👩🏻‍💻

1. Laptop/Ipad 💻

I usually use my laptop more when I study, to take notes and relisten to lectures but having an iPad is great to study for math modules where there’s a lot practices to do and it is also much easier to have everything stored in the iPad than to carry stacks of papers everywhere you go! 🫠

2. Chargers 🪫

You do not want your devices dying on you while you’re studying midway through a topic! Pro tip: have an extra set of iphone cable in your study bag so you never leave house without a one.. (been there, done that 🙃)

3. Headphones 🎧

I really love my headphones because they are SO comfortable and literally gets me in the study mood. It blocks out all background noises and helps me to get right into my work! 🙇🏻‍♀️

4. Calculator 🧮

If you’re not taking any math mods you can skip this one. This semester, I am taking stats and econs 😭 hence I always make sure I have a scientific calculator in my bag!

5. Comfy Jacket/Hoodie🧣

I do try to dress comfortably and bring along a jacket to avoid freezing in air-conditioned room and also bc I am gonna be there the whole day 🥶

6. Water Bottle 💦

Staying hydrated is ESSENTIAL for concentration and alertness! If you always study in school (where theres water cooler everywhere), you probably should start investing in a reusable bottle to keep yourself hydrated.💧

7. Drink — Coffee ☕️

Unfortunately, caffeine is essential to keep me focused and awake throughout the day.. I usually get a cup of iced coffee before heading to my study location! However I do know the negative impacts of having too much caffeine, so I’ve been trying to limit them 😅

8. Good Study Spot ☀️

To get myself studying effectively, the environment is extremely important. First, having a brightly lit spot with natural light source > artificial light.🔆 Studies have shown that people can study better when exposed to day light! As such I always make sure to sit in front/ near the window whenever possible. 😂

9. Comfortable Area with Wifi & Sockets 🔌

Always choose a comfortable seat and CHECK THERE’S WIFI before settling down or you’ll have to waste more time finding another study spot/ waste data on personal hotspot.. 🥲 Also look out for sockets around you so you won’t have to leave your seat when your battery runs low, which disrupts your studying flow! 😩💺

Well, I am sure everyone has different essentials for a productive study session — what are yours? 🙇🏻‍♀️

Happy studying and all the best for midterms!! 🙌🏼
