What Are “Studyblrs” and Why You Need Them in Your Life

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Conn chapter.

Like most things in life, success is largely dictated by inspiration. Those of us who can not only find inspiration to begin, but to keep going as well, are those who achieve greatness. 

Within the world of academia, students usually refer to this inspiration as “motivation”. Putting this difference in diction aside, it seems all students struggle to find inspiration at some point in their academic career. Can they blame us!? I mean, how would you feel if you were paying thousands of dollars for a piece of paper and, hopefully, some sense of job security?

As the temperatures begin to drop and daylight becomes increasingly scarce, second semester blues is a very real and insidious beast. Caffeine fueled Netflix binges and dorm-delivered Chinese food become more and more attractive ways to spend your nights. Without taking the appropriate precautions, you can quickly find your Calculus textbook to be an efficient way to prop up your laptop (all the better for Netflix viewing).

But wait, put your book back on your desk! Allow me to present the antidote to your academic burnout, studyblrs. 

Studyblrs are social media pages filled with pictures of studying.

That’s it. These beautifully curated pages, created by students just like you and me, are loaded with the most aesthetically pleasing and inspiring academic photos. From journals, to lecture notes, to desk setups, and more, it’s hard to look at these feeds and NOT feel motivated to chase your schoolastic dreams! 

So, if your seeking an extra dose of scholarly inspiration, follow a studyblr or two! Here are some of our favorite pages, to get you started…
