How Tumblr Makes You Smarter

If you're like me, you probably spend most of your time on Tumblr aimlessly scrolling through posts, avoiding your responsibilities. But what if your dashboard could inspire you to finally read the required text, or organize the pile of papers that is supposed to be a desk? Enter the world of studyblrs.

Imagine a dashboard full of photos like this.

This community of bloggers is home to a number of medical students, law students and Ph.D. candidates. There are even a few vanilla students (much like us plebeians) who will inspire you to sit down and get to work.

One way to find these studying aficionados is to search the tag #studyblr. Another popular tag is #studyspo. Or you could use this short list I have compiled to introduce you to this community.

This girl has got her stuff together, she is one of the most well known studyblrs and has a number of awesome printables that you can used to organize your own life.

Though she is not 100% a studyblr, Airi is a great way to ease yourself into this new world.

As someone who is horrible at math I normally avoid people who are good at it, but Mabel has made me appreciate the work that is needed for engineering and has some great tips on how to stay on task.

Ever since I saw "Mighty Joe Young" on the Disney channel as kid, I have considered primatologist to be super cool. That might be one of the reasons I love this blog because she is going to school to be one. Beyond that, her blog features inspiring pictures and great advice.

This girl has some great tutorials on note taking that can make your life so much easier.

As I mentioned above, a lot of the bloggers in this community are med students, and this blog is a great representation of the group. Be prepared to be inspired and super jealous.

Last, but definitely not least, this blog is frequently updated and features everything you could need to start studying more efficiently.

This list is, by no means, a complete representation of the community but it is a list of the most frequently updated blogs that I follow, and I think it is a great foundation to a great studyblr dominated dashboard.

While it is summer, this is a great way for you to do something to prepare for fall semester. If you have a favorite studyblr blog, tweet me at @heatherlanapr and let me know!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
