What she says: I’m fine
What she means: Selena Qunitanilla single handedly smashed the patriarchy of tenjano music by becoming the highest selling artist in a male dominated music genre, won a Grammy, started her own clothing line of Latin inspired designs and patterns, this woman was a trend setter in fashion, music, dance, and was the light of so many people’s lives and if she were still alive today she would be no doubt one of the most iconic singers/fashion designers of our era. In fact, she was so iconic during her lifetime, that the state of Texas continues to observe her birthday as “Selena Day”, her biopic staring Jennifer Lopez continues to play every year around that time, and there’s a Selena museum dedicated to her life, displaying her most iconic garments she wore during her many performances. She made her family proud, she made the Latino community proud, Chorpus Christi proud, shit she makes me, a non Latina African American proud, she is an icon. An ICON. ICONIC.
pink-themed spread from a few weeks back! I’m actually quite happy with how this turned out😊

hi, i’m sorry. i really haven’t been active lately and i really have no excuse. my main issue with having a studyblr is that i feel compelled to have very aesthetically pleasing notes/supplies/etc. and it slows down my studies by having me work 3hrs on two pages of notes just so it looks pretty. so instead i’ve simply been typing out a lot of my work and such. i don’t have an aesthetically pleasing study routine and i’m a bad procrastinater. these are things i am working on and yeah. it’s my junior year, i am 16 years old, and i have a lot to catch up on. i’ve recently joined a lot of clubs and plan to join more. i am now officially treasurer of the creative writing club at my school and i am also the historian of la raza unida. i am taking only one ap class this year and my grades are alright.
i am taking seven classes, i have two b’s, one c. the rest are different forms of a’s but a’s nonetheless. my goal for this semester is to end with all a’s. i have to study for the ACT and SAT.
in short.
it will be a very busy year for me and my inactivity will continue until i learn how to balance managing a blog, extracurricular activities, and who knows, maybe one day i’ll be able to afford the pretty supplies people have and take pretty notes.
as of now, my studies, like myself, are messy.

Happy new year to everybody! Printed @thearialligraphyproject‘s January calendar (thank you so much for posting all the calendars at once!) and started using my brand new Molang diary! I’ll be using the white one this year. (⑅˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈ )
peep of my algebra 2 notes :) i just started studying for my cbe exam and i have two months to learn one semester of this math course (not to mention my algebra 1 teacher was horrible so i’m very rusty on algebra) ✏️💛🙃🙃
20/03/17 // Endless flashcards!! It’s great being able to use so many colours, I love them so it kinda makes up for the amount of money I’ve spent on pens??? Eh, maybe. Plus, they’re more fun than the practice essays I need to start doing next month. This is the first time I’ve properly made flashcards and I’m definitely a fan!! ~

just think about how grateful your future self will be if you keep going. how glad you will be for having worked so hard. it will all be worth it.
I had this girl in my class and she was considered to be like really dumb. She’d ask a ton of doubts and questions in class, which everybody would consider to be “stupid"and “silly” and even the teachers would often taunt her but she’d never stop asking. But the thing was that she’d almost always top the class examinations and everyone was like???? They all thought she was cheating and stuff and obviously even the teachers were very biased because she wasn’t so ‘smart’ in class, and she was regularly accused of cheating. But nobody could prove that she was actually cheating but the whole class and teachers totally believed that she did. I’m pretty socially awkward so I never really talked to her, but she was leaving school this year and I was genuinely curious about how she was so good during exams and how she didn’t let everyone’s remarks affect her. She always used to sit and hang out with only one girl, and she told me that that friend of hers was severely socially anxious and she’d lag in studies because she couldn’t bring herself to ask doubts in class or ask for help from others. So they had this system where during lectures her friend would write down any question she had, and she would ask them for her. And I was just so touched??? Idk but it really changed the way I looked at people?? This girl endured taunts and jeers and borderline bullying for being “stupid” when she was actually really smart and could easily have refused to ask such doubts for her friend but she did?? And brushed off everything others would throw at her for her friend?? I was just, idk it just really changed me in some way.
8/100 days of productivity
Started doing my maths homework today and I’m planning to get all my homework done as soon as possible. Nothing feels better than having all the stuff already done. And I got really excited about planning the birthday party for my sister and figuring out new posts for my blog. I’m thinking about inculding some studyblr inspired posts because this community is so motivational :)
