I got some mildliners finally! Living for these colors.

love this list!

Abel’s Big School Supply List

aka: shit to bring when school starts up.

Backpack get one you like, that carries all your stuff. pockets are a bonus.

Pencil Case it is honestly easier than carrying lots of little things that are good to have on hand, many of which are listed below.

Pens get ones you like writing with, be it ballpoint, gel, or fine tip. as a general rule, bring black and blue for writing, and red for revising. feel free to bring a few other colors, but be warned that some teachers don’t want you to use the.

Pencils good for writing anything you think you could easily make a mistake on. use them for math. if you have regular ones, bring a small sharpener. if you use mechanical, bring lead.

highlighters good for annotating or taking notes. jut one or two will work.

usb even if you use google drive, bring one. you might have a weird project that you can’t use drive, or someone might need to borrow it because they forgot theirs.

paper clips sometimes you have papers that need to stay together and there’s no stapler in sight. these guys are nifty.

sticky notes good for annotating and for reminders.

granola bar or a similar small, packaged snack. sometimes you get hungry in class.

hard candy smarties, jolly ranchers, something like that. good for mid-algebra sweet cravings or rewarding yourself for finishing tat bio test.

band-aids people get hurt. keep cool band-aids for yourself or a friend.

pads and tampons i do not care if you have a vagina or not. there’s always that day when you aren’t prepared and it starts, and you have the horrifying realization that you don’t have one. keep well stocked to help yourself or a friend in need. no one will think you’re weird for having a tampon. you might help some poor kid. bring them.

$1 in quarters you never know when someone is going to need extra money, or when the band is going to have a sudden fundraiser selling chocolate

perfume people get smelly. bring a little bottle. pass it around.

hand sanitizer sometimes you touch something gross, simple as that.

hair ties and bobby pins even if you don’t use them, someone else will probably need one.

pain pills keep a dose of tylenol. sudden cramps or headaches can come on at the worst of times, and it’s nice to be able to treat it.

chapstick sometimes your lips get dry and icky, especially in the winter. buy yourself one specifically for school.

cough drops for those times when your throat won’t stop bugging you for no apparent reason. very good for choir members, especially when you’re getting ready for a performance and working your butt off.

ipod it’s good to have something to do on the bus, or in extra time, or art class.

phone/ipod charger even if you don’t use it, chances are, someone else would love to borrow it from you.

earbuds/headphones same as above. but if you’re using your ipod, for god’s sake use headphones. you may love iggy azalea in the middle of history, but those around you might not

water bottle you will get dehydrated during the day. drink lots of water.

notebooks bring one for each class. you may not end up using every single one because some classes don’t require them, but bring extra

folders you can bring one for each class, or have one for homework, or both. find an organization style that works for you.

3 ring binder some teachers require them, and sometimes it helps sort through things.

a book some english teachers want you to have a book for independent reading, and it’s nice to have one if you get bored after finishing work. i like to have one i haven’t started when i go in on the first day.

that’s all i’ve got for you right now! there will be classes that require other things, or they might not. it always depends.

good luck! if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

There are a ton of masterposts like this floating around, but you can never have to much advice for baby studyblrs!

Before we start, some studyblr terms + things: studyblr=study+tumblr (your blog) studyspo=study+inspiration (photos of notes etc) studygram=study+instagram studytube=study+youtube appblr=application+tumblr (college application blog)

this post probably answers any more questions than I can answer here

Step 1: create your tumblr

The most important step, obviously. Will you make your studyblr a sideblog or a main blog? Both have their merits:

a sideblog if you already have a main and don’t want to keep switching accounts

a main blog if your studyblr will be your main focus or you don’t already have a tumblr

Step 2: your look

This is basically your URL, your theme, and your icon. None on these are set in stone, you can change them whenever you want, but I like having consistency and it makes it easy for people to find you.

Tips for your URL:

make it related to studying~you can have things like stationery items, yourname+studies, anything! (probably a given but I thought I should say it)

make it short. coffeeandpens is easier to remember that the-boy -who-studies-ancient-greek-literature-257963. Of course there’s nothing really wrong with the second one, but it’s long and a lot harder to remember than coffeeandpens

make your URL the same on all your platforms so that it’s easier to find you

check out @studyquill​‘s studyblr URL generator if you’re stuck!

Tips for your icon:

if you’ve gone through a few studyblrs, you’ll probably see that the most popular type of icons are vector icons. A ton of studyblrs have made free icons for the community (me included) and you can usually find them in the tag #studyblr icons and on @studyblr-icons​

you can also find icons on flaticon (make sure you credit them somewehere!)

but it doesn’t have to be a vector! you can use a selfie, photos of your notes, a photo of a celebrity/something from a fandom you’re in, anything!

Check out these posts for more icon tips: 1 | 2 | 3

Your blog theme:

I prefer 1 column themes over multiple columns because it’s easier to read masterposts when they aren’t in super thin columns

don’t make your text super small (it doesn’t need to be huge but anything under 9px I think is too small for body font)

@roxiestheme

@neonbikethemes

@sorrism

@enchantedthemes

@acuite

or you can check out @theme-hunter and they have a million amazing themes!

Step 3: your content

Creating original content is hands down the best way to gain followers, but don’t refrain from posting because your notes aren’t aesthetic enough. No one will laugh or judge, and don’t be discouraged if your posts don’t immediately start getting notes. Post whatever you’re interested in and whatever you’re studying. There are (roughly) three types of posts to create for your blog: studyspo, masterposts, and graphics (and printables). Check out my studyspo, masterpost, and graphics/printables tags if you need inspiration.

Step 4: getting noticed

Here’s the deal: we all want our posts and blogs to get noticed. It’s nice to get notes and followers, and there’s nothing wrong with that. That being said, it’s frustrating when your blog doesn’t grow as quickly as you expected, so hopefully these tips will help you:

the first post a lot of people make is an introduction post (check out intro posts I was tagged in for format ideas). They serve as a little about me and I love reblogging them!

a lot of studyblrs have tags that they track so if you use their tag (for examble #rhubarbstudies) they’ll see it and reblog it (look at this list for some studyblrs to tag)

use popular studyblr tags: #studyblr, #studyspo, #studyinspo, #new studyblr

post consistently. Posting every day will eventually add up to notes and followers, trust me.

Step 5: making friends

My studyblr friends are a huge reason why the study community has been so enjoyable for me. Making friends can be daunting, but it’s totally worth it

some networks: @homework-help-network @smallstudyblrsunite @studyblrindex @k-studynet @sapphicstudynet

my advice is to join a network with a theme and/or a group chat instead on just an index if you really want to meet people

some more posts like this: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Lastly:

Don’t be intimidated by the studyblrs with super aesthetic posts that get thousands of notes, they all started as new studyblrs. And maybe they’ve had their blogs for years, but literally every single studyblr has started off with 0 followers. What’s more, you don’t have to aspire to be those blogs at all. Perfect lettering and crisp lighting and a multitude of stationery is lovely, but don’t worry if you don’t have content like that. Your studyblr is about you and your journey. Good luck!
