It is 2016. Gay marriage is legal, dogs and cats have their own Instagrams, and studying is cool. Yes, I said "studying."
Many Tumblr users are of college age and when they aren't fangirling about a TV show or a superhero, they are blogging about school. It may sound extremely nerdy and be against the whole point of using Tumblr, but dedicated college students have used Tumblr to showcase their study habits while gaining new ones from friends and followers. These blogs are called "studyblrs."
Like any blog, gaining recognition is slow at first. However, with a few follows and reblogs of other popular blogs in your category, you can gain followers really quickly. Many people who have heard of studyblrs and are nervous about starting don't actually know how to start. So, here is a list of how to get started and a few tips for having a studyblr.
1. Be a student.
This comes hand in hand with a studyblr. Unless you are someone who is completely out of school and who just loves to study for fun (which is no one), you have to be an active student. Even taking a single class would be a great start.
2. Take notes.
You need to have content to post on your blog. Seeing as how it is now exam season, there isn't a better time to start having a studyblr. Many people only use their studyblr during the school year and they take a leave of absence to use their personal blog when summer comes . However, while you're in school, take notes and then take pictures of those notes.
3. Make your notes pretty!
This is an extension to number two. Have pretty notes. No one wants to look at your notes if they can't read them. Make them pretty, cute, and just have fun!
4. Have the right supplies.
I've seen a lot of users using a bullet journal or a basic agenda book to keep track of everything that they have to do. Having the right supplies will help you have an amazing blog, plus it's a great tool for organization.
5. Tell your friends!
They may make fun of you for even saying the word studyblr, but after they see how much fun it is and how pretty everyone else's notes are, they are going to be making their own blogs right away.
I hope that these tips will help you and encourage you to have your very own Studyblr. To get started, here are a few studyblrs that are great to follow!
