Improving Your Handwriting

Creating the most beautiful, aesthetic notes has become a trend and a hobby for many students but handwriting can hold you back if you don't think it looks good. Everyone has a unique handwriting style that should not be compared to others and should most importantly not make you feel ashamed. 1. Figure out your end result Brainstorm what you want your handwriting to look like. Italicised, cursive, calligraphy, bold? Find a few images that showcase your desired handwriting. 2. Find or make printables Everyone remembers those repetitive letter tracing worksheet from school. This time go on the internet and search for these letter tracing worksheets but in your desired handwriting. Some of my favourites include BohoBerry, Tiny Ray of Sunshine, Nicole Dawn and Papel & Co. If it is a font you already have on your computer, create your own worksheet with the alphabet and print it out. 3. Practice and Implement Complete these worksheets until you get the hang of it and gradually star

Healthy Study Snacks

When you are studying, it is usual to feel hungry especially after a long day at school or college. Usually what happens next is you drop everything and go to your cupboard or fridge and pick the first thing you see (probably not the most healthy option).

Nut butter and banana rice cakes Chia seed pudding Carrot and apple slices with hommus Trail mix Bagel with cottage cheese and blueberries Popcorn Avocado toast Smoothie

Finding Your Learning Style

Have you ever been sitting a desk rereading your textbook, rewriting notes as 'study', but as that next test or exam comes rolling in, you find that you've learnt ... nothing? All to often, students are not taught how to study and that everyone learns in different ways which a typical classroom does not accommodate to. Everyone learns through a mix of learning techniques, however finding techniques that work to your strengths will increase your ability to learn. There are 3 main learning styles: Auditory Visual Kinesthetic Auditory Auditory learners learn best through listening and sound.
