1. Cognitive Dissonance - the idea that when we hold two conflicting thoughts or beliefs, we unconsciously adjust to make one fit with the other. My social psychology professor gave an example of a student who values studying all the time, but slacks off when it comes to their favorite television show. So the student tells herself that watching the television helps her study later when it really doesn’t. However, telling herself that helped her eased the anxiety.
2. Hallucinations are common - one third of people report experiencing hallucination at some point in time. Similarly, normal people often have paranoid thoughts. So when was the last time you hallucinated?
3. The Placebo effect - this is when you think that something like a drug has an effect on you when really it doesn’t. It’s your thoughts that actually resulted in you getting better.

Aristotle spoke of dividing man into three aspects: the mind, the body, and the spirit: “Speech is the expression of ideas or thoughts or desires. Handwriting is the visible form of speech. Just as speech can have inflections of emotions, somewhere in handwriting is an expression of the emotions underlying the writer’s thoughts, ideas, or desires.”
Meaning: The size of the writing reveals whether a person is feeling socially extroverted or introverted. It also reveals your capacity for concentration.
Note: Sometimes your size changes, look at the definitions that describe your mood.
1. Overly Large Handwriting:
This person demands to be seen & heard
This writer overdoes (exaggerates) the size in compensation for an inner feeling of smallness and/or unimportance
Obsession with attention & will go to great lengths to obtain it
Displays obsessive tendencies by writing huge letters (to call attention on himself)

Hey guys, it’s been a while. I’m in my second semester of college now, realizing that my school stationery days are coming closer and closer to the end.
Everyone has their different tactics for notetaking, and although I have been an absolute stationery fiend since I was a kid, I noticed I prefer taking notes in class with just pen and paper, no real fancy sticky notes, index cards, tabs, or washi tape. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When I was a sophomore in High School, a friend and I would go into NYC often during the summer (we live 15 miles outside the city) and literally RAID the muji stores STUFFING OUR SHOPPING BAGS WITH STATIONERY AND OTHER SUPPLIES. We would walk all the way from the financial district and hit up EVERY muji store until 42nd street. (That’s over 50 New York blocks WALKING because him and I were too shy to flag down a taxi—- and at this time there were only 4 mujis in our area, now there are 6.)
So I have, like, 30 muji pens, 15 notebooks, maybe 30 altogether if you count the various sizes, TONS of little sticky notes (like the infamous cat sticky notes that muji carries) sticky tabs, special letter writing stationery, all sorts of stuff!!
And over the years I’ve also had the opportunity to shop at various Japanese and Korean markets and stores that carry ENDLESS supplies of kawaii themed stationery.
I don’t need this stuff in my life anymore and for the past 3 years it’s all been stowed away nicely and untouched as desk accessories.
I would like to hand down these items to MULTIPLE lucky winners of a giveaway I had in mind.
Because I have SO MUCH muji stationery and other kawaii stationery, the giveaway prizes would be randomized but equally divided as much as possible. And based on the popularity of products (like the popular pens and notebooks) I would make sure each winner gets at least one or two of those “special items”.
^^^ I know that this is a really ugly pic but I just spent some time hauling out the HUGE load of unused (or very lightly used) stationery that is just laying around my house. Everything is in super good if not perfect condition, and anything that has writing in it will NOT be included in the giveaway. (Obviously)
Muji pens
Muji notebooks (in various sizes)
Muji sticky notes
Muji notepads
Muji highlighters
Muji lettersets (mini and standard size)
Muji erasers
Kawaii themed stationery:
Rilakkuma
Pom Pom purin
Sumikko gurashi
Kakao Friends (possibly, not sure if I’ll give it up hah)
EXCLUSIVE Studio Ghibli stationery found in the Japan store in Epcot, Disney World
Kiki’s Delivery Service and Totoro
Moleskine notebooks!
Special art markers (similar to mildliners)
And I’m still going through A LOT of my stuff so there will be more, I may have some pencil cases to give away!!!!
All you have to do is reblog this post!! I want it to get lots of exposure so I can get rid of this stuff!
You don’t even have to follow me if you don’t want to. But I will say that in the future I will be doing a special Pusheen Box giveaway as well! (Probably in May!)
I will announce SIX (6) winners on March 15th AT RANDOM from the list of reblog s this post gets.
I will message each of the six winners for their mailing addresses, if a winner doesn’t respond by March 17th, then I will go on to a different random entry.
Please get this around the studyblr community, I hate seeing my lovely stationery untouched and unused, it breaks my heart. :”( It would mean a lot if you could reblog this for entry!!
Everyone have a lovely day and also, it won’t count as an additional entry, but if you follow my Instagram @jesspurr I will be posting my own hand drawn stationery and probably more pics of the giveaway prizes from there! (As well as on this tumblr account).
Keep studying friends, and good luck! ♪( ´▽`)

08.12.2017; my arabic exam is really close, so i must start working harder now. i don’t think i’ll do great because i’m way behind my classmates (i joined the class two months later than them), but i feel like i’m learning so much, i feel way more confident with the language now, and it makes me so happy ♡
also, i started a new book under my father’s recommendation: ‘the seven minutes’ by irving wallace.

The first day of December was great! I submitted half of my college applications and went to Muji where they would give you this free canvas bag with every purchase to honor their 10th anniversary!

emma! do you have any great gel pen brands that are really nice to give as a gift? like kikki k style without being from kikki k if that makes sense
Hey! My favourite gel pens at the moment are Pilot pens (either the Juice or G2) and the Zebra Sarasa pens! They don’t exactly have that Kikki K style but really nice ink. If you wanted their particular look, you could try putting the ink from one pen into the Kikki K pen xx
