as a swedish person: i’ve never heard anyone who’s not swedish pronounce fjällräven kånken so well!!
I was looking for this comment
@@nagitodorito1906 the å sounds like regular o 😀and ä sounds like a in black
Hello Sweden from Finland
Ja jag med
@Three Watermalon's i think it is a backpack
the #1 reason why i got an ipad for notes wasn’t the “hype” or “aesthetic,” but simply me trying to limit the amount of paper i use everyday
I wish I had had mine when I was still in college with an apple pencil. Holy cow I would've done so much better. I can't wait to go back and get my MS and kick butt so I can go to med school.
i’m getting one to save paper during school cause i waste A LOT of paper and also to draw
Same~ I also find it hard to use the pens cause I make mistakes.
This is the exact reason I use mine! My school has a huge problem with ASTRONOMICAL paper use so I suggested iPads and a lot of things online (before covid) but alas I go to a public school with no money😔
Swati S i transited hours to get to college and home before the pandemic so having an iPad saved me a lot of back pain LOL
I’ve always been a visual learner so when I found the aesthetic notetaking community, I was instantly stricken. Doing my notes more aesthetically actually helped me do better in school because I put a lot of effort and care into my study notes. However, I’m super hypercritical about how I do it. It’s gotten to the point where if the header wasn’t right, I would get extremely frustrated and end up starting all over again. As you can imagine, it’s not very productive. I’ve just learned to accept that not every note is going to be showcased for pintrest or whatnot and I should be focusing on the actual MATERIAL of the subject.
True I just use black / blue pen and just underline it with any coloured sketch so it is easier to learn and it is fulfilling my needs as a visual learner
same! i just need a highlighter, fine liner that matches the highlighter, a pen and a ruler. if it goes wrong, i doodle lol
I just use gel pens for different things. In my opinion highlighters dont do anything for me and it just makes it harder for me to write
WE HAVE THE SAME USERNAME 😋😋
YES FOR REAL! especially with OCD or as a perfectionist, taking neat notes can be frustrating! what I do now is to write down the notes quickly during school classes and then later I make summaries neatly and in with colors and other things. (Also using a pencil at first for titles helps!) then there is less to write and everything can still look pretty c:
Am I the only one that spends more time watching studytube videos than actually studying
nope you're not alone
Majority of us are like that xD
It’s all I do
Me
You're not the only one
When you read the comments and see that everyone wrote a whole paragraph and then realize that this is where all the smart people are.
There’s enough information here to create a thesis paper on consumerism,
Studytube community and social media...😂
you found us lol
We're all here lol

THIS
Personally, I think overbuying is the problem here. It's okay to have a few different colors of midliners, pens, sticky notes but we have a problem if you're buying 20. As for tablets, there are definitely cheaper options than iPad pro. As someone who's finished over 2 packs of a4 papers just on printing notes in 5 months, I can definitely see the use for tablets.
As someone who went to art schools since she was in the 4th grade (with an obsession with aesthetics and gel pens), I concur. The iPad didn’t come out until I went to college and books for school didn’t come through for that until around the time I left it. To have the option to be able to use digital media now is definitely something I (and my posture), wish I had sooner.
If you are just buying an iPad for taking notes, watch your classes and organize yourself the regular version is enough. The iPad Pro is much more expensive and you won't use all of it's power.
@@a23oj28 Buy a used or previous gen IPad Pro. Everyone wants the newest features but you rarely use them. I wanted to buy a pro but Apple tries to keep IPadOS accessible to every iPad model. So they all are the same.
Yeah, like first of all what’s the point of buying all those midliners and pens when your just gonna end up using the iPad? Kind of a waste of money, especially when your buying those huge packs.
@@xroyalstevenx9151 I just got the regular IPad 8th gen, works perfectly fine, and it’s 2x cheaper than the IPad Pro.
Like yeah the camera quality may not be the best but honestly who even uses the cameras on tablets.
Hot take: You DONT need an iPad Pro for taking notes. There are other iPads out there.
Edit: also android tablets. paper works well, along with surface devices
@{Sakura} {Devil_Angel} i just have the 32gb base 7th gen iPad with keyboard and thats has fine with me so yeah. You dont need $1,000 devices to do schoolwork when you probably already have student loans
there are also other tablets! the samsung s6 lite is high quality and SO MUCH cheaper
@@anniecheng1600 agreed. People like to buy iPads because they are popular but Samsung tablets are great too
yeah, I have a tab s6 lite alot cheaper and fits my needs
Yeah, that’s something I can agree with.
Important: thermal printer prints don't last. Like receipts, they fade after a few years
omg very helpful comment !
This! And yet they are constantly being marketed as a journaling tool 😂
What is thermal printers?
@@QueenElsaVeganfromEurope the mini printer she showed
@@QueenElsaVeganfromEurope they basicly use a special paper and make the Print with heat, therefore you dont need ink. Just as op stated above it will fade after some time. I would not recomend a student to get a Thermal printer but if you run your own small business they are great for shipping Labels!
i think the studygram community often pressures it's participants, by giving us perceptions that we need some products to be successful. I am thankful that Jasmine teaches us that effectiveness and hardwork are more important than aesthetics or expensive products. thank you for the suggestions! also the pronunciation of fjallraven kanken sounds great to me :)
yeh - i prefer all my notes to be plain black and blue pens to make it less distracting. it also allows more time to be spent on the notes / content rather than design.
@@xiaominnnful me also i write in black and mechanical pencil only my brother literary graduated for a university with a pen an a normal pencil and he study something like engineering system sorry i dont speak English
i def feel the pressure to conform to the “studygram aesthetic” and i’m glad you don’t feel that i focus too much on products. maybe a few years back i was def guilty of this type of behavior but i’m trying to grow from it haha. and thanks!! glad to know i got it alright :)
@@studyquill of course! you are actually of the people that got me involved in the studygram communities in the first place
i agree with this! i think a lot can get done with a simple pencil and a piece of paper.
most of the overly-hyped up products in the studygram/studyblr/studytube community are definitely not as accessible to people who don't have as much money or live in places where they are available, which can be disheartening to newbies in the community
so thank you for this video!
A pen at most is 2 dollars it's actually an extremely inclusive hobbie almost anyone can be a part of
Exactly
@@lapizza7206 however other products most study community aesthetic people show are more expensive like the mildliner pens cost nearly $12 in my country..
@idk I've never heard of them costing 30 before but if your struggling to pay that amount I think you need to take a break from hobbies and work on your financial situation.
Yes ture. When I always try to buy something they don't deliver to my country or very expensive.
I was today years old when I learned that there is a community called study tube 🤣🤣🤣
Same, a new word and genre I learned today, "studytube"
Yesh (2/18/21)
Mhm lolz
9 month
Same 😭😂
Me, who passes with minimal studying, planning, and the bare essential supplies: "Yeah."
Same, but I get bored and make stuff like pretty notes that I know I’ll never look back on.
I just study until i cry two weeks before the finals
I have no problems with materials whatsoever but my weakness rn when it comes to studying is procrastination lol
@@Komeiji0401 Ahhh procrastination that’s the issue right there. Can’t beat it no matter how hard I try😭😭 I have the largest exams of my school life soon and I can’t start studying yet😭😭
Me, who gets full marks with 'aesthetic' / pretty notes:
"Yeah."
imma just say 2 things about the ipad pro:
1. do not buy it as a laptop substitute!!!! you have to remember the ipad is a tablet and doesn’t have some hardwares that laptops have so please while you may be able to write on it, you might not be able to access some websites that you may need. i only suggest buying one if you already have a reliable computer/laptop to use!
2. don’t buy a PRO if you don’t need one. i bought the regular 2017 ipad and it works just the same for me. pros add some better upgrades but don’t fall under the spell that pros are the only good ones especially because those are the only ones i ever see on studytube. even when i asked a lot of sellers, many said usually pros are well-suited for those who need more power like architects for drawing, etc.
Agreed 👏 Even with the new trackpad and keyboard you’re still dealing with apple apps. It’s not the same as a MacBook and certainly not the same as a windows based laptop.
Michelle Zhang exactly!! i see so many people using it in place of a computer and while a keyboard is nice to have on it there's still so many tiny limitations that eventually add up, especially when it comes to the hardware
@@gurleen7041 @Michelle Zhang So would you in general recommend to buy a different tablet (e.g. windows) with a Keyboard or would you say it's much more important to have a good Laptop?
I have a 5 year old laptop and I am going to start uni in october and would like to buy a tablet with a keyboard... So i could use some advice 😅
Marina.Green I would say if you want to focus on digital note taking idk drawing and basic stuff then just get a 7th gen it’s the cheapest IPad. But you generally don’t need to buy another laptop if you already have one it’s just pointless just buy an iPad 7th gen or iPad Air they’re both similar but if you want something cheaper just get a 7th gen if you don’t need the keyboard much just get a 6th gen iPad.
@@theolexluna2332 thank you ☺
fyi: your pronunciation of ''fjällräven kåken'' was way better than most non-sweeds!
Agree, was gonna comment the same, best pronunciation of it I've heard so far!
lol yay!! my years of learning nordic songs in choir has paid off 😎
@@studyquill Yesss! I learn most languages through choir!
I’m an idiot and had no idea it was Swedish and was saying “fa-jall rayven kanken”
fYALlRaVeN KoNkEn
Honestly I feel like people who do the study videos are more worried about making them look cute without even learning.
Exactly,they probably have 60s in real class lol
it's not your problem tho
@laura she implied it, as if people can't just make whatever videos they want even if they're just cute and not learning like why tf does she care
@@janabroflovski2572 ?
I feel like that can be the case but I dont think you should generalize a howl community
It honestly feels like studytubers are constantly trying to make their videos aesthetic instead of giving actual study tips! I personally think that the aesthetic studying and note taking is so overrated! They use specific highlighters, pens and notebooks to write aesthetic notes I feel it’s all so unecessary! I write notes with normal pens and highlighters and they look neat! At first, I was writing notes to make them look aesthetic and pretty (thanks to study tube) but I realized that’s didn’t help me in the long run! I feel like I learn better when I write my own personalized notes!! Where I’m actually studying and understanding my work not wasting time on my _title_ just so it looks aesthetic!!!
Someone said it!!
@@babithack I had to get it off my chest 😭😭x
im kind of a visual leaner so having pretty and aesthetic notes can help me understand. it also motivates to actually study since im proud pf my notes. i dont spend $100 pn pens, i use what i need. just sharing my experiences
I personally do like the mildliners. First, they aren’t as wide and bulky as regular highlights (at least where I live) so they can fit into my pencil case better. Also, I’m autistic, and I found that with regular highlighters, the bright fluorescent colours distracted and overwhelmed me when I tried to read my notes. The mildliners are nice and pastel so it’s not harsh on my oversensitive eyes, and they are more comfortable for me to hold because the wide pastel ones (stabilo ect) don’t have proper grips. From a quality standpoint, they work fine. They’re nothing revolutionary, but I’m not looking for revolutionary. I just want something that helps me read my notes undistracted, and that I can hold comfortably. But yeah, they are definitely overhyped.
Yeah same. I think that out of all of the products she mentioned in this video I’d personally say mildliners are the least overrated. They’re honestly rly nice highlighters with nice colours and a pretty good quality.
I use the regular brand highlighters but the pastel versions as I cannot get mildliners affordably and easily in australia. Im also autistic and the pastel highlighters are 1000% better!
i personally use the stabilo thin pastel highlighters??? they fit in my pencil case and they have really cute colors. the quality is alright. and they’re v cheap
Do they bleed through cheap paper tho?
Im the same way! Also autistic and ive had problems of my fluorescent highlighter being super distractive and i take notes on my computer so i can organise it and i never have thought of pastels so ill try it!
Studytube "trends" just breed consumerism. Its not like you truly need an ipad pro, muji stationery or kankens. Its giving the notion that only the priviledged people who can afford these things get to be smart and all. Its not like you guys mean to, but still
*privileged
thank for this. i see all of these yt videos and they have pretty stationary but i can’t really afford that type of stuff atm ://
@@lai8831 youre smart regardless. You can be smart regardless. All you need is a pen and paper sis. If you really do need a tablet, you can look into a surface pro 4 on ebay. Its cool.
Its the artist, not the tools😘
@Sofia Mello this is where we compare the quality with price. Not all cheap things lack quality, my friend. In your country, there should be places that sell good technology at a lesser price. They dont have to be brand new or name brand. You should also make sure it is common in case of repairs.
The best times to buy tech for less are black friday and thanksgiving. Im not sure where youre from but they should have some holidays where the prices are less.
As for regular stationery, you could resort to lowering expectations and trade off a bit of quality for quantity and cost.
My info is kinda basic but i hope i could help😊
i'm white and my entire room's worth of things is probably well over 6,000 USD, but i still eyeroll at every studytube youtuber's rooms and products. macbook, airpod, apple watch, iphone x, ipad pro + pencil. and they KNOW what they're doing; they put "what's on my iphone x" in their thumbnails to flex about it. their rooms are worth more than most people can afford but they still talk about how simple their rooms are
like shut up! i can hear the non privileged, not middle-class people groaning every time one of you people say this crap LOL
‘That slightly ugly, utilitarian look’ is how I’ll describe myself from now on
😅
😭
I sometimes watch the study youtube videos and I think to myself: "Is this what normal and organized people do? Should I do stuff like this? Would I be more successful that way?" I kinda think the videos are a bit idk it makes you feel bad about how you study/ makes you feel like you're unorganized even though you're already successful enough ;-;
this is a big mood, and the bad thing for me is if try to do what they do it would send me into a really overwhelmed mindspace which is counterproductive. thankfully i managed to have my own study method that actually works for me at least
No you’re not doing anything wrong. I decided to go paperless as I work full time, study part time and carrying books around was out of the question. My notes for uni are at no point aesthetic, they are basic, I’ve added images where needed but that’s it. Aesthetic notes aren’t practical as you move through study.
You are not doing anything wrong. It took me a while to figure out my rhythm and see what worked best for me. Being hyper "organized" may work for some people but it is by no means the only way to be successful. I used to never get better than a C on tests during high school, started switching up my note taking in early college (aka making it more aesthetic) and while it worked for a hot minute, I got exhausted. Eventually I switched to completely digital, printing key concepts, and running through them with maybe a highlighter or two. I actually did the best this way, but it took a while to figure this out.
Point is, don't look at study tube videos thinking you must follow them to a t. Play around with it, see what works and doesn't work for you. Try looking at different styles of note taking or maybe completely different ways of studying. Note taking itself may not actually be for you. I had a friend that would create mini songs to memorize information and another that just didn't really study at all other than reviewing class materials handed out.
Fr
Also it's force you to keep productive every single minutes. If not, you will have feeling to blaming yourself "why i'm not that productive"
It's toxic
shoutout to crayola supertips!! although crayola supertips aren’t included in the vid, i think they are so underrated. if brush pens aren’t affordable, supertips are the way to go esp. for beginners in calligraphy 👍 pretty color choices and super cheap. as for kanken bags, i’ve used mine for more than 5 years and it still holds up very well. it is washable and can be waterproofed(?) with beeswax.
The lighter colors can be used as highlighters too
If it can be waterproofed then how will anyone wash it?
Love, Sam. sorry instead of being completely waterproof, it’s water resistant so the wax becomes less effective as time goes by. only by then i usually wash the bag and have it re-waxed.
I think all crayola products are underrated. Compered to other brands within that price point (at least in the US) they are really good quality.
omg yes!!! I got a pack of 100 super tips for like $15 and I absolutely love them! Def recommend for beginners, it’s what I learned on and it’s so much easier to learn with than jumping in with Tom bows or other more ~classical~ brush pens. And theres a huge range of gorgeous colors. I could go on!! Ahhh!
I dont understand the obsession with ipad pro when cheaper ipad air and regular ipad can do the very same thing.
It's kinda for the pen.. but like you said.. the other ones are all compatible with Apple Pencil 1 now
Android can also be a good and great option like s6 or S6 lite or s4 even
@@spring_live4223 wow I like your channel alot
12hoursleep
They can’t do the exact same thing. There is a lot of difference in my opinion. For example I don’t think that an Air can multitask and you can’t swipe between apps which is a dealbreaker so that’s why I got the Pro.
@@bambixcy9908 If you have the updated IpadOS, then you'll be able to use split screen. In fact, you can use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard for any recent ipad. The difference is the performance and power. Basically, if you're not going to draw too much or just want luxury, get the ipad pro, but the 7th gen ipad does perfectly fine for studying and casual activites
I used to be that girl who has all those 30 coloured pens and highlighters for “aEstHetIc” note taking but I couldn’t even last a week. All I kept focusing on was how I can make my notes look pretty instead of studying the actual notes. It takes too much time and effort just to do some note takings, suitable for those who has some free times to spare on just notes i guess. Then I just changed my note style to a more minimalist and neat look. Until now, I’ve only used a maximum of 3 coloured pens (generic black, blue and red) and a maximum of 2 different coloured highlighters. This was life changing for, my grades were getting better and now I’m doing my pre meds. It’s also suitable for studying last minute ;)
Title:are these studytube trends overhyped? 🍵
Alternative Title: StudyTube makes people feel broke
yes
PREEAAACHHH
and makes broke people feel uncapable to relate to others in the study community or be successful
I was a student 10 yrs ago and let me tell you, whenever I find a “study” anything on YT I do wonder if the people doing them actually study or just spend a lot of time making pretty notes.
I actually did great at college and I never really study a lot, I would just go to class, pay attention, and always took notes that would help me remember the lessons.
I had pretty notes and people would ask me if I could share them because they were clear and concise; never ever ever needed more than one black pen and maybe one on a different colours, I had a Sakura Gelly Roll in orange that I loved, a highlighter, a mechanical pencil, an eraser, and that was it. I was super broke, so the most expensive thing I had was the gelly roll.
No one ever needs more than a notebook and a black pen, whatever extras you have is just personal preference and is fine, people deserves to like what they like without any judgement.
Sadly I feel that this trend is actually bad for young people nowadays. We live in a world where young people is already being pressured to look at a certain way or behave a certain way, even have certain experiences... can we just not push them to also have like 100 mid liners and perfect writing and Pinterest worthy notes? School is already pretty hard without them worrying about having certain aesthetic for their bloody notes.
Is alright to show a different way to do anything, but let’s be real about it.
I have noticed that many of the pretty notes is people checking their books and taking information about it, they don’t really show the notes they take in class, and it makes so much sense to me, teachers won’t wait until you make a perfect title, you shouldn’t be more worried about making it all fit in one page while still making it look pretty. Sometimes there’s no time and even paying attention you scramble to take notes before the next topic is discussed.
Even some of the videos I’ve seen they show a bunch of scrap paper or loose paper that they even mention they use to take quick notes during class that later they would redo in their pretty notebook. Some students work a job! When will they have time to do that? And why waste time doing that when you can easily use that time to check the notes you took in class and maybe do your own research and add to them in an useful enriching way?
Is great to share your study method, and I love watching people make pretty notes, but why not make it other than just taking pretty notes and maybe show people sources of information, teach them shorthand maybe... I dunno, things that will actually add something valuable to their learning process?
However, I do believe that iPads are great. I wish I had one back then because the amount of money and paper I could have saved! No need to print copies every week! Having all my reading there instead of a huge binder that was heavy and occupied so much space in my bag. Lord! That is the one tool I would totally encourage people to invest in. I think is worth it 100%. And let’s be real, I love apple, but there are some windows notebooks that are just as expensive and have similar functions, even android tablets... there are so many options. That is one thing I totally support.
I do love writing in paper, but back then maybe it would have saved me a lot of space and money too to be able to do all my school stuff in there. I dunno. It don’t mind so much what she mentioned about writing in it, but I do get it 100%.
I know you're not a student anymore, but if you're ever looking for an alternative to paper notes, I suggest the rocket notebook! It's a notebook that you can write in, but then upload to your computer later. I really like it as a more sustainable option :)
Brookelle Otte where can you buy the rocket notebook?
Miniki Abzurdah i have pretty notes bc i have adhd and when something is cute and colorful it catches my attention lol. Also since i started doing cute, organized notes my grades have shot up to all a’s
As a college student that have class every Monday to Friday from 3pm till 10pm with a part-time job (20 hours a week), I agree that no one has time to rewrite the notes. Maybe some does, but honestly those time are better spending on sleeping or do other necessary tasks. This is where I glad I have my Ipad Air. Instead of rewriting my notes, I just need to adjust them a bit and add information (or rewrite some part that are too ugly) which I couldn’t do if I were writing on normal paper. For someone that has crappy hand writing and messy note taking like me, this is probably the best and most efficient way. So yes, if you’re a student, you should try take notes digitally, doesn’t have to be an Ipad, just some random tablet that you can use a stylus on is good enough. Of course, if you have the money to burn, feel free to do so, but don’t make it the way that “it made me success” because it obviously not.
Oh, and a plus for my Ipad Air (or many other tablets) that you can read your ppt slide or your textbook on it without the need of printing it out. You can use GoodNote or Apple Book to do so. I love downloading textbooks as PDF on my Mac and then move it to Apple Book so I can read it on my Ipad. Save time, save money.
@@alisonexe me too!
i definitely agree with your ipad pro opinion - the studytube “expectation” for ipads is incredibly inaccessible to those who don’t have upwards of 1k to spend. unboxing videos almost always include the ipad as well as an apple pencil, paperlike screen protector, ipad case, apple pencil case, keyboard, mouse, etc. i feel like this creates an inaccessible standard for people buying an ipad.
Like not everyone can afford an iPad Pro, and besides, the cheapest iPad can do the same things the iPad Pro can do, and at half the price
And then they include the cute pink wireless keyboard with its little mouse and an iPad stand as well as a little bag for the iPad and a separate bag for the Keyboard and mouse. LIKE??!?!
I got the iPad 7 which seems to work just as well for studying as the pro. I also haven’t bought a keyboard and very easily wrote essays with the onscreen keyboard
Yeah and i wonder if people forget there's previous generations of iPad pros too that can do just as much for cheaper. And apple made the 1st Gen apple pencil compatible with lots of other iPads so you don't need only an iPad pro anymore!
@@mayisthearcher but it's just not as good
as someone who lives in a certain part of asia, many japanese products are pretty accessible and shops often have sales! i got most of my mildliners for $1 each, and muji pens are also about $1 too. muji notebooks are hella cheap here, and it’s of quite good quality.
i make my notes look nice because i study better, and because it makes me happy. it took me a long time, but i realised i don’t need 1000 brush pens or 50 stickers to be “aesthetic”. i’ve found my style, and what works best for me.
so basically, just do what works best! i enjoy using good quality stationery because i am a total nerd for stationery, and i absolutely love writing and doing art, so it’s more comfortable for me in the long run.
i’d recommend looking for affordable options in your country! don’t feel pressured to look a certain way because most of the time, people use a system that works for them, or makes them happy.
so stop bashing people for liking kankens or mildliners or cute stationery. they have their preferences and so do you. let’s just respect each other, and encourage a healthy study community :)
I think what she's implying here is the students that buy these stuffs purely for social media (instagram, pinterest, youtube) bandwagon.
I noticed in my country that majority of students only buy them because they are popular, although I agree that others are really useful. Like Ipads for example. They can literally save you thousands of paper and is more organized and flexible, however it doesn't have to be the 'pro' version. You can use the standard Ipad and get the same work done.
@@haileymae42 that's true. consumerism is very real in the study community.
I don’t think the problem isn’t bashing
The problem is people buying them for the sake of being in a community. If people gets consumed with being part of a community possible situations financial loss, Failing grades, and it’ll get worse from there the important is quality of studying rather than having it all.
I have mildliners and Kokuyo binders I like the Kokuyo binder because of paper quality and the organized structure of the paper which feels the worth of studying some people like using a notebook or typing notes but I prefer Kokuyo styled binders. Mildliners like a regret but as I prefer muji highlighters a little more. For the IPad I just bought a 7th gen and it still functions like an on the go laptop i even have lumafusion there and it works fine
if they're doing all this just for the sake of being in a community, i think there are some serious issues underlying their spending habits.
the only pressure we have, is that on which we put on ourselves.
we should all also take note that what we see in videos is only a part of the person's life, and we are in no position to judge them for what we only perceive them to be.
basically, don't be so impressionable [i'm talking about people generally not you dw], and learn to be discerning!
@@amaris5141 which is exactly what Jasmine (Studyquill) explaining is here people are spending a lot just to be part of studytube
My Kanken backpack has lasted me YEARS. Y’all I’ve never had a better backpack, it’s beautiful, sustainable, and SO durable.
And I use it for school, so if you have any questions feel free to ask.
it’s cute but I wish there was more pockets or whatever
Same! I’ve used mine for 5~ years and I always use it as a carry on for travel :)
I perfer the kipling seoul backpack since I'm at school for 12 hpurs and need personal things too, and as a dental student I carry around alot of tools too. It is cheaper and feels better in my back.
I also have a kanken (classic) that I use for literally everything. School, hiking, music lessons, everything haha. I really like it but I do wish I went for the laptop size, sometimes is just a bit tight for my stuff.
I'm debating if I should get it or not. It's cute and my style, but I've heard that if you carry much stuff the straps would make you uncomfortable.
I feel like I’m the only one who’s not “obsessed” with the kanken. I used mine for a year and it was “fine”, then I found doughnuts macaroon back back which is so much comfier and has so many compartments which are so helpful and the mesh pocket is perfect to keep your mask in
Miya Bee same with me used it a year and now I just switched pack to my eastpack two compartment bag for school - it’s overrated
I love mine but the straps are uncomfy sometimes! This comment actually reminded me to look into the doughnut macaroon bags!
I love my Hershel backpack!! I also highly recommend the north face backpacks because they have the lifetime warranty for the “just in case” rip or wear and tear!
I looove my macaroon and literally refuse to replace it unless it breaks. It’s wonderful, and I adore it
I feel the same. I have my Angelo backpacks, which i still use daily, but I do love my Doughnut Macaroon backpack.
like at some points the studygram community is so toxic i mean do your brain study the aesthetics or the notes lmaoo 💀
Exactly ...too much efforts in editing the video for aesthetics !
chocokon some people are motivated by the aesthetic
@@angel-bt2lq truee
@@angel-bt2lq i think that this is just related to the people that overdo it and where the ratio of the time spent on the aesthetic vs. the usefulness or efectiveness in the end is not good
idk thats true for some, but again, some people work and study better with aesthetically pleasing notes. studying doesnt have to be about looking aesthetic if that isnt your cup of tea, but its not a bad thing esp if it makes others’ studying more efficient
I'm a PhD student and the only thing in this video that I use is a blue Muji pen because it's the most accessible 0.38 size pen where I live (I write a lot in Chinese so I like finer pens for that).
I see a lot of people in the comments talking about aesthetics and money. I guarantee that you don't need any of these trends to be successful with your studies. The important thing is really working with what you have.
At the end of the day, your mental health and the way you deal with failure or lack of motivation is much more important for your success than an iPad pro.
Focus on taking care of yourself and showing up, putting in the work, and you'll succeed 😊
congrats on making it far enough to reach phd level!!
@@loveghibli aww thanks!! All the best for you and your studies 💕

Also the Macbooks too. There is probably nothing with Microsoft ones which is upsetting to people who use them since they probably can’t get the apps they use.
SOMEONE FINALLY CALLED OUT THE MUJI PENSSSSSSSSS
Yeah, I always follow and love all the stationery trends, but those muji gel pens are TOO overrated 🙈...sarasas and energels are so much better in quality and style..I honestly just pity the ones that buy them thinking that they’re wonders and end up disappointed...
Nahla Maulana
I just bought a EngerGel Clena and it work so great! I’m thinking of trying the muji pens, prob only a black retractable 0.5 one, i like how it looks cuz my aesthetic is minimalist. I’m not totally gonna use it for school tho, I will use the EnerGel.
I personally like the black muji pen but the clickable version, not the regular ones, since they are too uncomfortable for me😅
I think they’re all right but the pentel energel ink is just wayy better in terms of quality. I bought a muji polycarbonate .7mm pen for the aesthetic but they don’t perform as well as the pentel energel.
I literally use a pen I got for like 50 cents at the dollar store and it fits my rainbow aesthetic type of thing but the INK IS SO GOOD and it’s nice and smooth depending on the paper but it doesn’t bleed, it’s literally perfect.
I loved the video but *can we just talk about how PRETTY she is?*
edit: y’all i obviously think everyone is beautiful and this channel is not about looks but i just genuinely thought i would *compliment* her?
I agree
Nahi
She is not here for her looks, she's here for the content. Let's talk more about the contents she makes. She's good looking but that's not the point of the video or her channel.
@@xpiugex8756 That's disrespectful. How would you feel if I called you ugly? Plus she makes content and you obviously just spent your time watching it because some people are rude and have the audacity to say someone's ugly. Focus on their content. "Nahi" smh.
@@busybee1998 there we go
Honestly, i think Studyquill is the only youtuber i've ever known that is not the type of youtuber who spends her money on aesthetic things like for example: when she sees a pack of 50 highlighters, she buys it! Just like that. And that's what i love abt her. -From Amanda
SAME. I’ve found sooo many studytubers who
90% of the time make stationery haul/aesthetic videos
10% of the time make study tips videos
I really admire you tubers like studyquill.
There's a study-tuber called fayefilms and she gives helpful tips on studying! And she's unlike other study-tubers, she doesn't focus on "aEsThEtIc" stuff and doesn't give "basic" tips
I am just wondering how does they have times to create pretty notes?I don't even have time to relax.Went back from school ,studied for 4 hours and Bam it's already 10pm(at least for my case)
I feel you haha😅 I'm studying veterinary medicine and my week consists of 40 to 60 work hours on average, most of the time I just eat, sleep and study because there is just no time to do anything else.
Personally, I study mostly by rewriting my notes and like making mindmaps, writing summaries of books I have read etc., so that's how I find the time, it's most of the work I do haha it's just the method that works best for me.
But I don't really try to make them look particularly pretty, I just use a regular blue Bic pen and paper, and maybe a highlighter. Using a million colored pens is distracting for me. I'd have to stop writing every ten seconds to switch pens.
Because you study by reading, I can’t do that, too boring and I won’t learn anything. I have to make notes to study, I use my 5 hours of studying in making notes.
before in primary school grades 5-6 i had really great pretty notes my average always ended between 88%-95% from those notes now as im going to 8th grade in 7th grade i stopped doing those pretty notes and my average dropped from between 78%-86% i was disappointed in myself and i got a 56% in geo :(
My notes a messy asf but understandable.
lov the video + agree w/ most of ur thoughts!! ily and sending much love 💕💕
hi seo
Hiii tbh studying!
thank you seo!!!
queens boosting each other I love it 💜
I wish you and @studyquill could do a collab in future 🤩
Hey, I highly recommend you all Jansport backpacks. In my country they're a little pricey, but imo they're totally worth it!! It got me through 2 years in secondary school and 3 years in college 💜 It's like new up to this date, I love it
Ikr I had mine for 9 years now (the colors had fade a bit tho fortunately it's mostly black and white)
I agree, my Jansport lasted me all 4 years of highschool and I'm still using it in my first year of university now
You just made me happy because I own one
I used to have one, I really liked them. If anyone is looking for a cheap backpack that’s really good quality, I recvomend Hershel
a person i swear used mine for 4 and a half ish years now, from sixth grade to tenth. Obviously being younger I threw it around quite a bit, left it on the floor, the whole shibang. Washed it twice in laundry machine and it comes out perfectly clean just like new but still broken in. I even bothered to get the zipper fixed for like $15 when it broke. It’s very comfortable, simple with little pockets and durable. I hope to use it until I graduate high school and maybe after that. I love it so much-only minor regret is that sixth grade me picked an obnoxious color lmao
The bag is also timeless- prior to purchasing this bag I would get a new backpack every year.
Though I think me being a small kid influenced that
This is so true... My whole high school and first year of college was totally not efficient at all. I wasted my time buying stuff that I never use now, bought a lot of "cute" and "aesthetic" notebooks/ journals, that are very expensive. (I could have saved up those money for actual investments now.) Also wasted my time re-writing every single notes that I take in my class, which actually takes up my time for actual review and time for making school plates... Now that I'm in my graduating year, I just really don't care about those stuff anymore. I just buy what is necessary. The only things I buy now is 1 notebook for all my subjects, label/memo flags to keep track of the subjects for that term, 3 pens which is black, blue and red, 1 highlighter and lots of clear book folder for all my organized printed modules. I do this simple organization of my things to not make myself feel overwhelmed by the things I bring to school. If you are an architecture/ interior design student you'll get what I mean. We have all this "required drafting materials" and adding more to what you bring is a big hassle, especially if you commute to your university everyday.
My advice for anyone who's looking for efficient study tips is to make use of your digital planners, don't waste money buying all those very expensive journals. Digital planners makes you stay reminded of what pending tasks needs to be done, also make use of your cloud storage, and other collaborative online drives (more efficient in sharing group/collaboration works, not messenger or other social media apps). Second is to never delay any schoolwork more than 3 days, more than 3 days just means that you'll probably never do it and forget about that activity for some time. Procrastinating on your assignments is never the solution for getting high grades. I am a very big procrastinator and I still am up to this day, but I'm trying my best to limit my procrastination habits. But guess what I survived all my terms so far while being a procrastinator, I guess that last minute panic sometimes help haha.
Third is to always write notes while in class, do not be dependent on re-writing at home. If the professor had already provided notes/powerpoints/pdfs beforehand, do not re-write it anymore, only jot down the important details of the discussion and summarize it by bullet points in your notebook. This makes it more easier for you to remember what was being said on the discussion or the key-points. It may not be the best quality or aesthetic, but it is the content of the subject that counts. (Also in college professor's don't even care about your notes, they only thing they care about is if you were actually listening to their class). And also for me, I write in actual paper and not on my ipad because it has more memory retention when I actually write it on paper. Last advice is to always keep your desk, clean and organized, same with your digital storage. Have a weekly/ monthly decluttering and backup of school files. Having too much clutter on your surroundings makes it harder for you to focus, remove distractions whenever you are in the middle of a review. Have self discipline.
p.s. For the design student's out there who are always required to buy drafting materials, remember to just buy the necessary stuff. You don't need all of those drafting tools in your higher years. If you did buy new ones, you can always sell it to the lower batches for a lower cost. ;)
Always remember to work smarter, not harder.
Aesthetics doesn't necessarily equal to productivity.
But hey that is just my own share of opinion.
For the last couple of years, I used to feel so unsatisfied with my life for not having an iPad and only having 5 different highlighters which don’t even match in appearance. It might sound vain but it does get to you eventually when people are using iPads with aesthetically pleasing highlighters in 90% of study videos where they look super productive. I even bought a dozen of coloured marker pens because I was so caught up by the “aesthetic note-taking” trend. But my perfectionist side didn’t go well with it since I couldn’t help rewriting the notes all over again when there was a slightest imperfection in my “aesthetic notes”. It got to the point I actually ended up not getting my studies done which affected my grade. I’ve gotten over that phase now thankfully. People should figure out whether it works for them or not before trying to fit themselves into a certain lifestyle. It might work for many of the people you see but it might not work for you.
I totally see what you mean by the iPad handwriting experience being different than what you expected. I often have a hard time writing with my apple pen because of the tight grip I have to maintain when writing with it. As a student who commuted to school, I will definitely say this though: it totally helps to have an iPad as opposed to a combo of laptop + notebooks. It was a strain on my back to carry everything prior to buying an iPad, especially when walking to my classes which can be super far away from each other. For lecture notes I definitely recommend notability as you can record your lecturer on the document that you are writing on and you can replay specific lecture parts by clicking on keyword that you write during lecture. Then you can do revised lecture notes when you can at a pace you are comfortable with. Also, in addition to a paper like or matte screen protector I feel like a pencil grip or a cover of some sort would be a good addition to your apple pen so that you have a smoother writing experience. You can also use the zoom feature on notability + good notes to write easier imo. I still miss the real pen/pencil experience however, which is why I don't do digital planning. Thank you for the video!! I hope this helps anyone :)
Also since iPad pros are expensive there are also other options of iPads combined with the 1st gen pencils that work just fine and are much cheaper.
That's interesting, I have a really poor grip on my pencil that I've never fixed, which causes me a lot of hand cramps when I write. However, the flexible tip of the pencil and smooth surface of my Ipad has almost totally removed those issues. I've even started journaling again because it doesn't finally hurt to write for a long time.
Elora Reilly I totally agree and I write pretty darkly, which makes me really paranoid when writing on my ipad. My pencil has gotten a little flatter because of how hard I press. But for digital art and notability I definitely recommend.
so would you recommend the pro? do you think it’s a good “laptop substitute”? i’m also a commuter student and found that my laptop is a strain on my back carrying it back and forth. but with my laptop, it runs super slow and sometimes has to shut off or reboot idek so i wanted something that could mimick a laptop when i couldn’t use my actual one but is also accessible for notes and assignments that i can bring places like my jobs as they allow us to do studies during slow times.
Hai Dere Of course 😊😊 I use an iPad for school and it takes a bunch of weight off my back and provides a screen that doesn’t strain my eyes. I would still recommend carry one notebook or two. The only things that are really necessary is Apple Pencil, iPad case with a keyboard( third party ones are pretty good too) and a good note taking app like Notability 😊
I love seeing the progression of Jasmine's personality in front of the camera!! She seems so much more comfortable lately and I love the little quirky touches and hints of her personality...
Maggie Manrique aw thank you!! i’m trying my best :)
i definitely agree!!! shes so cute!!!
I never understood people who bought tons of highlighters for school (i'm talking like 30) . I only use 1 bright green highlighter for school- am I doing something wrong? XD
I only ever use a black and a blue pen and one ruler. I feel like making "pretty" notes makes me get distracted and doesn't make me understand what the notes are actually talking about
nah, i take 4 for different subjects on that day, sometimes i take fine liners lol
@@ash1486 yep! i color code my classes and have specific colors for priority due dates and deadlines
lol mine is for people to borrow as my classmates always borrow from me
Coming back to this comment, since then i've gotten 2 more highlighters in pink and orange and I will say colour coding things helps me a lot! thanks guys! ^^
I love my iPad Pro. It’s allowed me to go paperless and stay organized in med school. I can honestly say it’s the best purchase I’ve made for my education. And in terms of not being able to write quickly I personally don’t care if my notes look neat. I usually just write on my lecture slides anyway so it doesn’t bother me to try to have everything perfectly aligned. And as a future doctor I think it’s okay for me to have messy handwriting and notes once I retain the information 🤷🏽♀️
I agree. I’m going to college this fall and I decided to get an iPad Pro because I’ll use it for both college and premed. It’s easier since I’ll be majoring in biology too. I also use a school iPad for high school, so I’m already accustomed to it.
It becomes quite a contradiction when one makes the most beautiful notes for a particular subject,uses expensive planners to plan their day yet fail to get the expected result. An irony but a sad one.
Yes, I know many people who spend HOURS making beautiful notes but end up not even studying and fail the exams. I make my study guides in less than an hour in regular pens and highlighters in a few colors and score 100 because I read over it the rest of the day.
I find it funny that I pretty much already own most of the stuff in the jetpens sampler that you showed.
Also about the iPad, you can get the 7th gen iPad and 1st gen Apple Pencil and have a similar enough experience. Especially if you’re a student. The iPad Pro is more powerful, but if you’re not a professional then you might not be able to use it to its full capacity.
I agree! An iPad Pro is much more if you want an iPad to be as close as a computer as possible. That’s why I bought it, I don’t have a computer and it works great for me as it is the closest to a computer as you can get.
I agree I am collecting money till December to buy iPad 7th gen and apple pencil!
And get them refurbished tbh (or even second-handed)!! I got the new Air refurbished from their website and I use it non-stop without any issues :)
6th gen iPad also works if you can snag that; it’s cheaper and the feel is roughly about the same especially if you’re mostly in it for notes and light design work!
Btw you can still use the first gen ipad air for notes. I still use it lol
The first time I wrote on the Kokuyo paper I swear I heard angels sing
lol same - i was immediately blown away by the quality of the paper and how nice it felt to write on it!
Literally as long as it helps you pass tests and things like that, it doesn’t matter what your notes look like
yall ive been watching studygram tips for years and now that im in my senior year in uni none of that matters, notes are notes and thats what it is! the aesthetic doesnt matter but the substance of your notes is 😞 so fed up with people glorifying these
I’ve used an ipad throughout my college and here’s my take on it.
As someone who is used to pen and paper for more than 15+ years, I felt that it was harder to read on an ipad as compared to pen and paper.
On ipad, we usually zoom in and zoom out to read it or take notes more clearly.
Therefore, the memory retention isn’t as good. It’s super useful for taking notes in class as u can move the notes u have made around, easily making more space without needing to erase or liquid the mistakes away and this saves time, or u can straightaway take pictures of the diagram your lecturer drew and place it next to your notes. But after class, I still find myself printing out the notes and copying it back out on paper for easier revision.
But an ipad is useful as I’m using less paper (I write out stuff repeatedly on paper to memorize easier). I also download textbooks inside my ipad, not having to carry the textbooks around with me. I can also record my lectures and listen back to them if I need. An ipad is a great tool to help with your studies, but not enough to replace pen and paper.
Wow I couldn't agree more with the memory retention part. Memorizing the location of particular content within a book/print-out usually boosts my memory but it's impossible to actively recall the content and its location when studying with an ipad because you constantly have to zoom in and zoom out.
Plus when I have the papers I can physically/intuitively assume how much I've done and how much is left either by sight or even weight but with ipad it's just bunch of endless pdf pages so it isn't as 'tangible' if you know what I mean.
Ipad definitely helps studying but it can never replace paper and pencils. The latter is the best when you're goal is to actively 'grasp' the material.
I remember when my mother got my uncle a Kånken, and was shocked at the price, and the lack of a lining, and I really don’t know how everyone can fit all their school books into one of hem
i did an exchange in sweden and basically EVERYONE had a kanken so there it's definitely not just an instagram aesthetic thing hehe but a swedish friend told me she had hers since she first started school as a child and she barely had to repair it, so apparently it truly lasts!!
i agree so much about the iPad Pro, i bought mine recently and honestly i don’t think the writing experience 'replaces' or 'replicates' the wriiting experience with just pen and paper. Even with the PaperLike Screen protector, I still prefer how much better my hand writing and hand control is with just pen and paper.
These iPads are just for that “aesthetic” thingy. Also there is no need an iPad Pro for “studying” . There is something called paper and the budget iPad can also do the work if you’re really into study.
Yes! So many study youtubers have been flexing their ipad pros. It's not required. Yes, switching over to an Ipad has been more beneficial to me, but in the end it's all what matters to u.
The ipad is a good product but I dont believe it is necessary unless you have e books or something you can get an ipad but it doesnt need to be a pro
@@alexisgoogle1997 yes that is what i was trying to say
have you ever used/owned a pro? do you think it’s worth it if it’s also being used to function like a laptop and not just for studying? i’m conflicted since im a commuter student and my current laptop is really slow but also super heavy on my back. i’m debating if i should do the pro or another version of ipad as i either need a new lighter/smaller laptop or a “laptop substitute” that i can bring with me back and forth to school that can function as a laptop but also can do assignments and store notes since i do have jobs and and I am allowed to do studies during slow times.
Hai Dere i didnt used ipads for studying but i recommend iPad 7th gen . But always know iPads arent a laptop replacement
6:45 that’s actually an interesting point with the fraying, I haven’t had any issues with them fraying at all and I’ve been using these for nearly 6 months and they’re my go to brush pens for Mandarin calligraphy which I’ve been doing for most of my life, just goes to show that experiences and styles vary a lot.
I am definitely a failure when it comes to notes, I rely way to much on my memory. And with that, I have excelled in school with A’s and B’s writing with a pencil or pen, sometimes a classic yellow highlighter 👍
I personally think the Kanken backpacks are very overrated. There are better alternatives out there. Like the macaroon backpacks which has more pockets, and it is cheaper! I wouldn't pay 80 bucks for a 2 pocket backpack.
A lot of the price is to do with promoting and engaging with sustainable and ethical production. Paying employees living wages and finding production places that are environmentally conscious. They do also last. Some people are using the backpacks that their parents used. But they are also expensive and not ergonomic at all. They're also clearly aimed at Swedish people and the Swedish median income level that can afford something like this, especially if you're buying one for a kid for the rest of their school years.
AdoraBell i bought mine last year and I noticed that it’s not that practical for school. Tho I agree it is really long lasting and the brand is great with all they do!
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have to look into Macaroon. I am currently looking for a good college/travel backpack, so if anyone knows any good brand that lasts, takes a lot and doesn't cost a fortune, I am listening
Barbora Bičovská yea I have a macaroon backpack. It has tons of pockets. Even has 2 water bottle slips inside the backpack. I used mine for senior year and I’ll be using mine for college too because it’s so durable and very useful!
Barbora Bičovská if you want an alternative to macaroon backpacks, look into Himawari backpacks on Amazon. Same exact design, functionality for an even lower price
When I was in school, I really loved my Microsoft Surface. It allows you to have the ability to take notes digitally but still has the benefits of a laptop with a full OS. I was taking computer science and I could do all my programming projects and assignments, while still allowing me to take notes with a stylist. It was a great all in one! Plus, by having the laptop and tablet in the same device, it was SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper then buying a mac + an iPad.
this! people seem to forget that Microsoft exists, with much wider compatibility to boot
Yeah, i might get one but the stylus is pretty expensive
Honestly the surface is great. I used it for uni and it was really great to use for all my technical subjects, for the full computer experience and then great for textbook readings and note taking.
@@washingmachine4993 When I got mine it included the stylist. I got Microsoft Surface Pro, not the Surface Book. I couldn't justify the surface book for the price. This means I had to buy the keyboard separately but got a bundle deal on Black Friday. I bet there will be deals for back to school. Also, they keyboard was $100 and that is cheaper than the Apple pencil alone.
I had a Surface all throughout high school and used it for digital art. Never wrote my notes digitally (unless I typed them) and I don't regret it at all. Worked perfectly. I have a Spectre now that I got as a gift and have recently gotten a drawing tablet since I'm going to art school. I handwrite my notes on dollar stack of loose leaf paper with G2 pens and it works great. But I agree, if you want a great tablet computer I really can't suggest Surfaces more, they're much cheaper, more sturdy, and work well. I used it and never had issues with sites or programs not working, which is a big complaint of mine with iPad (besides the ungodly price)
My dad got me muji gell pens before the hype got to my country, now that mine are broken I can’t find any cheap ones online anymore :’)
Sad :(
“To keep me writing neat”
*laughs in doctor*
I love the iPad because it’s faster to write on if you don’t care about being neat
*Take note: All of the things that you Print in the Thermal Printer won't last for a long time since if you place those prints near to heat the "ink" would be erased*
i did jump on the kanken trend when i first started college.. WORST DECISION EVER. it's small, it's not really comfy to carry in a heavy set gal and the straps dug into my shoulders sooooo badly, i did like how it opened up but at full capacity i felt i was walking around with a box on my back because of how STIFF it was. oh and trying to put my macbook in the pocket, you never put this bag on the floor or a hard surface the case you have on it will survive, but putting it in and out and my bag on the floor it would stilll hit it and crack it every time. 80 bucks wasted. i use my north face or my herschel backpack and the protection for my shoulders and laptop is far better. the iPad pro, i bought it for school and pleasure , considering i'm an online student due to the pandemic it's a godsend, i can swap between macbook and the ipad. i don't think it will replace pen and paper ever. even with the screen protector .
there is actually a special version of the Kånken that's made for carrying laptops! it has a padded pocket for the laptop, as well as padded shoulder straps, and it comes in larger sizes than the regular one. i've used mine for school for years and i love it, it's a little more money but a lot more worth it than the normal one imo :)
They do advise that you shouldn’t be putting your laptops in regular kankens, they have a specific laptop bag for a reason,,
I love the laptop version! I paid a little more for the padded straps and compartment for the laptop but it was so worth it. I’ve had mine for about 3 years and still works just as well as when I first bought it.
My brother told me it wasn’t worth the money, and I was kind of disappointed when he didn’t let me but now I’m very grateful.
even if there are laptop versions, i still agree with you about the macbook and everything else plus the straps dont even have cushion (and yes there may be cushioned straps to replace it but its so unnecessary to constantly buy more) however i do feel like they would be used better as a casual bag bc theyre a cute canvas type backpack
I still use the same kånken bag I got when I started second grade, and now I'm 18
I have a similar story but with a random bag I’ve been using for 6 years now lol
Idk, for me the Mildliners are still amazing simply because of the color versatility and for me who has hundreds of chapters to memorize, the color variety helps me understand everything. I think they are incredible. :)
the ipad pro is very overrated for studying. you can get by with the budget ipad or the ipad air. you dont need the power of the pro to take notes
edit: don't get swept by peer pressure. just because everyone on youtube is using a pro doesn't mean you need one. unless you have a lot of cash to burn, then by all means get a pro. but if you're just gonna use it for studying, just get the air (or the budget ipad)
Humanity true, ipad pro would be useful if you’re a design or art student. But just for studying, regular ipad is just as good :)
Android-only user here, what is the difference between them all? Why would the iPad pro be mainly useful for art compared to the regular or air?
Couldn’t agree more. I have IPad 7th Gen, mainly for digital art, netflix and school stuff. From my personal view, you don’t need Pro. It serves me well enough.
@@sugarwizard8676 the pro is only for those who NEED its power. it has features that no one really needs unless you do art for a living or edit videos as a job.
if you draw as just a hobby, just get the regular ipad or the air. i was going to get the pro but i realized that i don't really need to spend that much on a tablet that i couldn't really use all of the features.
The iPad budget is so much cheaper and literally indentical to the pro even the pens cheaper
only an established and well-liked studytuber can make this type of video and get tons of love from it, this really is a strong indicator of your success and how far you've come from following these trends! much love from hong kong! ☼ (where muji pens are less expensive lol)
I- I just want the campus notebooks because they were in My Hero Academia-
UPDATE - I GOT THE NOTEBOOK YALL
Same
Pfft truee
@Kacchan's forgotten sideburns YAUSSSSSSS
Same
Can't be the only one who takes a random notebook a pen and starts writing notes.....
The 4.0 students at my school only use a notebook and a ballpoint pen for studying. They will use highlighters and a few colors at MOST.
I bought most of the things mentioned but they make me happy and encourage me to try better in school.
and with that THEY ARE WORTH IT FOR YOU
SAME
That’s great but remember to use them!
They make you happy because you've been brainwashed by the cult of consumerism. Lol. It's kinda sad tbh how young people nowadays turn into mindless consumers.
@@batorsagandszerelem4474 I agree with you to an extent, but I only buy the things I know I’ll use. The kanken back promotes environmentalism and mild liners (when I got them anyways) were from Japan so I feel like my intent wasn’t to be consumeristic but just that I needed school supplies anyway 🤷♀️
I always thought Mildliners were Midliners. Lol I just dropped an entire L.
Markita D haha at first that’s what I thought too until I heard someone pronounce it
pfft SAME *there are more of us, XD*
It’s because I thought it’s like HIGHlighters and MIDliners 😂
OH MY GOSH I JUST REALIZED I PRONOUNCE IT WRONG
I also mix them up and use them interchangebly XD cuz I still call them midliners
"i would sacrifice anything for the aesthetic" girl same
i absolutely love my mildliners- theyve lasted me since 8th grade and im going into 10th, and i love them
When studytube is the only way to get motivation to study: 👁💧👄💧👁
Saaaame
Same. Pretty notes make it more fun to study
@@urmom3765 i agree
love how you're so smart about your videos! you're stating you thoughts without having to be "problematic" or "attacking". i think the space you've made for your community is one of open conversation where it's never wrong to have an opinion so long as you don't hurt anyone and is being civil! that's why i stay and your tips are still helpful even to those out of school like myself so thank you for your contributions 😁
Thank you for talking down the iPad Pro. I've been going crazy with wanting to get one thinking it would greatly benefit me and keep me focused by not having to have different binders for college courses as well as using it as a second display to my macbook. I think a better use of my time right now is to work on my handwriting so that I may see my notes more clearly (it's trash!)
thank you so much for making this video! yesterday i was just thinking about how the studytube/gram/blr community kind of pushes the idea that if you don't have this or that, you won't study efficiently- and i'm glad to find your videoo! its good to know someone is using their platform to show people that they don't need expensive things to study well :)
You have the best pronounciation of Fjällräven I have heard by an English speaker, and for actually trying you have my respect 😄
Suprised moleskin or leuchttrum notebooks weren't in here
I would definitely say leuchtturm is astronomically overrated.
Defs the moleskine, the paper is horrible if you use anything that isn’t a ball point or pencil...
i believe those are more "hyped" within the bullet journal/bujo community rather than a mostly study-focused youtube :)
I even got moleskin specifically for my portfolio sketch book. The quality isn't that amazing tho. I was using alcohol makers and they bleed badly
@marshmallow I was going hardcore with watercolor on the paper but only the makers was bleeding that badly. Maybe it was me, but tbh, I still think moleskin is overhyped
On the iPad most people who use it to take notes use a different screen protector that replicates paper
6:30 “Not to fLEx.” You’re the only person I would allow to flex because you’re amazing
as a nursing student, the ipad pro is a lifesaver for me. i don’t have much time to make my notes pretty so i don’t care too much about the paper pen experience. i love being able to take pictures during lab and annotate it. It’s just made studying so much more efficient.
thank you jasmine for being one of the OG accounts that inspired me to create a studygram way back then :) loving this video, and thank you for being so truthful and honest with your opinions! we as studygrammers definitely don’t need any of these products to succeed and have a “good studygram” and it all comes down to the individual 💛💖
studyburrito Yes, so true!
Btw ur vids are nice!
I’m new in studygram and follow both of you. And I was going to buy midliners because they are so in trend among studygrams. I took to amazon and it’s like $12 😭 so expensive!!! Her video and your words really impressed me. I will just go with a regular highlighter and a pilot pen❤️
She just spit out facts 💯 I don't have any of these but my regular highlighters are great and I'll be using some again because they last a really long time. I have found some really nice gel pens and pencils that are fairly priced, run smoothly and last really long 👍🏽. Some studytube creators just focus on the aesthetic aspect and not giving actual tips.
the cool thing about kanken is that those last a lifetime and you can therefore turn these into travel bags once you're done with your studies. that's what I did haha
Kånken also makes backpacks out of (I believe) 100% recycled materials which is cool! I love their products and it’s great to see how they’re so sustainable
at leats for me, the most sustainable think about fjallraven is that they really do last, I wear my bag daily, not being particularly gentle with it and it lasts like no other bag I ever had!
i don’t know much about kånken so correct me if I’m wrong but I always thought that only their Recycled line (where the logo is not white, but in the color of the backpack) the re-kånken is made out of recycled materials
day dreamer yes that was what I was talking abt! Sorry ahh I should have mentioned they have a *line* of recycled bags!
biased oh no problem and thank you, but right the fact that they have recycled backpacks is amazing but I find it quite sad that most people buy anyways the normal one, maybe because it has the famous white/reflective fjallraven kånken patch
I absolutely adore Kånken backpacks and in general their products! So much so even my wallet and laptop sleeve are from them! Adding on to how lasting they are, the classic kankens are water resistant, and you can wax them to make the resistance last longer over time. I think people often think about how expensive they are, but like mentioned in the video, this is the price you pay for fair wages for the people that make them :D
I love that your channel is the perfect balance of study tips that are actually helpful, and appreciating aesthetics and stationary. It feels much more genuine and attainable for people on lower budgets, and those who don't want to constantly buy into consumerism. Thank you!
Also, I love your golden eyeshadow so much, it looks wonderful on you! :)
I actually own a medium size kanken as a school bag and i really love it, it is really comfortable and it look SUPER small but u can fit in it a lot of stuff
I have a normal sized kanken, and I don't use it for school (yet, going into first year uni this year), but I have used it for basically everything else! Swimming, sports, lifeguarding, bringing on school excursions, on sleepovers, picnics, even bringing to sell textbooks! I have found it really useful because of its sturdy build, and rectangular shape (allowing it to fit A4 size really well) and it can fit a surprising amount of stuff in it. The straps aren't padded, but I've still found it pretty comfortable to use. All in all, would recommend buying one second hand (I won mine in a giveaway so I can;t speak for the price, but second hand seems to be a much better option if you can't afford one new, especially considering the lifetime warranty and sturdy construction it should last a lifetime or more!)
I was OBSESSED with kanken until i went to try it on in the store, and let me say, its horrible during the winter in Canada and upper USA, cuz its horrible with a parka.
I would suggest a macaroon backpack or if you have money to spend, a lululemon. But the lululemon is great for its price cuz it has pockets for EVERYTHING like your waterbottle, laptop, phone or mask, notebooks and food. BUT, the macaroon is great too.
Macaroon backpack ❤️
Honestly it feels like kanken is for spring and summer while the macaroon backpack is for autumn&winter
I remember when i was a freshman i tried to make my notes 'aesthetic' being it full color and having diagrams illustrations hand drawn... i could not keep up w/ it esp my prof have ~120 slides per topic and i realized instead of using my time rewriting and beautifying my notebooks i'll use that to properly review and study.
I almost jumped w/ the kanken trend when im new to the studytube/gram community but it was sooo expensive and not available locally, then i discovered doghnut and himawari bags w/c are cheaper and have more space and compartments ✨
Kokuyo is just the best notes for me! ✨ they're super neat and beautiful to write on! Plus the mildliners really are the best highlighter for me! They have great colors and do not bleed... but for a cheaper alternative, i also use a highlighter set from daiso w/c is ~$2 and works very well like the mildliners. I do want to try muji coz of minimalism and many others use it but it's not available in my place, i did try to search online but they're way to expensive! 😂
Seriously tho, while being in the studytube community inspires me and a great way to relax and feel motivated, there are times it is soo intimidating because of these fancy stationery and tools that sometimes i lose the confidence to study just because im not as aesthetic or have the same materials as them
I find it really interesting that Kånken has become so popular and a “fad” in many parts of the world recently. In Sweden, it’s pretty much the opposite of a fad. The first version (which is pretty unchanged since) came out in 1978 and they have been ubiquitous in Swedish society ever since. My best friend growing up used her grandfather’s old one as her school backpack.
These "studytube" channels focuse more on aesthetic stuffs and unnecessary expensive stationaries, and I was discouraged by this because I can't afford all these things. But after reading many comments I realised we don't actually need so many pens, highlighters,etc etc to make notes and study.
Thanks to you all
You didnt make a single mistake and had a well thought out word choice! No need to apologize
Respectfully, I agree with everything you said except your opinion on the iPad Pro. Switching to the iPad for taking notes revolutionized the way I studied. I no longer had a cluttered desk full of stationery, and all I needed was the apple pencil to take beautiful and effective notes. Furthermore, I found writing on the iPad to be less fatiguing than on paper due to there being literally no lag and less resistance. If any of y'all are headed to college, definitely get one of these. They make studying so fun and most importantly, easy!!
And also, I came back to add this: to my fellow pre-meds or anyone planning to go to grad school, it is incredibly beneficial to have an iPad, especially with Notability, because you can store notes from all of your pre-med classes or science classes and access them years later, instead of having to store several binders filled with paper. I will complete college after taking more than 30 science classes and it is absolutely unrealistic to store all of my notes from each class. With Notability, I can easily search for keywords (it recognizes my handwriting perfectly!) which makes it tremendously convenient to find notes relating to specific topics while studying for the MCAT and other tests.
Bottom line, nobody needs an iPad to study, pen and paper works fine. But an iPad makes studying and organizing a hell of a lot more easier and fun!
As with any new piece of technology, there is quite a big learning curve when it comes to learning how to use it effectively. Here are my tips for the iPad Pro:
1. One of my biggest issues with adjusting to writing on the iPad was getting used to the weight of the Apple Pencil. It is quite heavy and it lay in an uncomfortable position on one of the bones in my hand when writing. I bought a really cheap grip from Amazon and this made it a lot more comfortable.
2. Personally, I didn't feel the need to buy a screen protector to improve my writing experience. While the way the apple pencil glides across the iPad Pro's surface is very different from paper, I preferred this as I felt less strain even after long periods of taking notes.
3. If you are able to afford an iPad Pro, get the 12.9 version and don't zoom in when taking notes. This slows you down and makes you focus more on the aesthetics. Aesthetics are important but at the end of the day, what matters is that you are taking efficient notes that help you learn the content. Writing without zooming in and treating the iPad like a piece of paper rather than a piece of tech improves your speed AND efficiency.
4. For the first month or two, you WILL miss paper. But the important thing is to stick with the iPad. Do not reach for paper. Do you need to do some quick math scratch work? Use your iPad. Need to make a small note about an assignment? Do it on your iPad. The more you force yourself to use your iPad for everything, the easier your transition to note-taking.
5. If you are like me and get easily distracted, AVOID GoodNotes and GET Notability. Notability is a minimalistic and neat note-taking app that minimizes distractions by providing you with less options. It is very well organized and helps you take efficient notes.
the good part is that everyone can see what works for them! a lot of people think that the product is either good or bad but I find that the coolest part of using stationery and techniques is that everyone find/create what really work for them and what they like! an iPad is really expensive so im glad that it was worth it for you!
Is Notability really better than Goodnotes? I feel like Goodnotes has more features to provide and the only thing Notability can provide that's not on Goodnotes is the record feature.... anyways, thanks! I'm still torn apart of what to buy lol
proc_rai_stinating To be honest, I don’t personally know anyone who actually listens back to their notability recordings (I definitely never found it useful). But if organization and/or keeping your notes for the long-term are a priority to you, Goodnotes is probably your best bet. I have a video on my “channel” where I talk a bit about Goodnotes.
@@railene9335 Personally, I prefer Notability because it has a simpler interface and good organization. I tend to get carried away with apps like GoodNotes which let you be more creative, which is why I prefer Notability as it helps me be more productive. Both apps are great - it just depends on what you're looking for.
For me the problem is that there are plenty of youtubers out there saying to get the iPad Pro when the base iPad is enough for education purpose. Some even go as far as to say there is a huge diff in laminated display which is honestly not that big of a deal. So yes iPads are great for studies but iPad Pro is over powered for most students and totally unnecessary.
i used the same kanken all 4 years of high school and honestly I loved it. i was able to fit everything I needed in there and it never hurt my back or shoulders or felt "heavy", even when I had a ton of things jammed in there. previously I had a north face and it was sooo bulky and uncomfortable :( I can see how a kanken wouldn't work for someone who likes having a lot of items in their backpack and/or likes more structural support but imo my kanken was worth every penny!
ive been easing out of stationery consumerism lately and have managed to find 5 things that form the core of my learning this college: transno (descriptive notes), anki (for review), a whiteboard (for practice problems), notion (long term scheduling), and engross (for focus)
the core of studying is to understand concepts, afterall, and learning via repetition is the best way to make it stick. rational learning in, repeat till understood, end. the whiteboard is also a great temp placement until you figure out how to input the info in anki/spaced repetition app of choice. unused information naturally gets erased, even if they are, indeed, pretty.
and i say this as a previously avid notetaker. the problem with me is that i dont really review my notes unless i have an upcoming quiz, which is obviously detrimental to my learning. it doesnt matter if my notes are super understandable--it's unused information.
With all the rising stationery trends, it's easy to get lost in the illusion that purchase = improvement, because the marketing specifically positions itself that way. much like how laundry detergents show a socially accepted person smelling fresh, stationery marketing shows accomplished people to bask in the same image. im not saying this to bash on sponsors, but it's just the way things are. we pursue ideas, but businesses can only give us products. it is up to us to use the product to achieve the idea, but we can never expect the product to reach the idea *for* us. the product can only do what the product says it does.
i've been recently caught up in this dilemma myself, and bought an e reader because i saw one k-studytuber trade their physical books for one. turns out i didnt want the e reader at all--i wanted her pretty, aesthetic lifestyle, and since the e reader is the standout, i thought buying that would help me be more like her. it was not her fault that i followed this mistaken notion, which makes it all the more important for us to critically analyze purchases to make sure that it wont cause us detriment
I came for thoughts on the Kanken. For a while, I really considered it as a bag choice for school to last me through college. One, the advocacy is everything. You mentioned what they do. Sustainability because of the materials and process, plus the arctic fox movement. Yes. Two, the aesthetic. The design isn't unique, sure, but it looks timeless and classy which is why I wanted it for the longest time. However, a few months ago, I realized the Kanken costs too much for me and it's not the most ergonomic for my back. I have some scoliosis and I expect to use one bag for my lazy and busy days to bring all my stuff, including the half kg laptop. Kanken strap paddings are sold separately, if I'm not mistaken. So I had to look for a different bag. The Doughnut Macarons/Macaroons are the perfect padded dupe, but I also found the Himawari Buttercups. The Himawari costs half the Macaron and probably 1/4 the Kanken. I bought the Buttercup to save me money and I plan to use it for a long while. Still, I would love to support Kanken soon. Maybe buy a little wallet or something. Your thoughts were very well put together and I definitely agree with a lot of your points.
I love how you talk. It’s engaging and has a lot of enthusiasm. Keep it up!
Short answer from an unknown student: oui
My iPad 7 works just as well as an iPad pro since I only draw and take notes on it. Mildliners are average and I regret paying even $15 for three packs on Amazon a while back. Muji items are average as well. It looks aesthetic but if you're broke, don't bother going out of your way or feeling bad because you don't have these items.
100% agree. I rarely, if ever, take notes on my 7th gen but it is where I draw 80% of the time and it suits my needs just fine. I couldn't imagine shelling out that much money on an iPad Pro + pencil _just_ to draw, especially since it's overkill for what I would use it for. So glad I also didn't really buy any of those ~aesthetic~ pens because I probably would've used them once or twice and then never touched them again lol
@@crim899 same. But it's the opposite for me. I use it more for note-taking than art, which is great because the 7 is for students.
@@miaa1762 Yeah, the note taking aspect is really nice! Though I usually go for my computer (though it's honestly about broken at this point) and my notebooks before reaching for my iPad. Glad you like it too though! :)
Agree! I have 7th Gen and works like charm
i have a question for you, do you also have a separate laptop that you use or do you also use your ipad to function like a laptop? see my issue is that i have a laptop but it runs super slow and often shuts off. plus it’s quite heavy on my back and since i’m a commuter student i found that a burden to bring my laptop back and forth. i’m conflicted if i should get the pro to act like a tablet for things like notes and assignments as well function like a laptop when i need it or to get another version of ipad or even look for a smaller/lighter laptop or even a diff brand of tablet.
My review on the products I have:
1. I got the 2017 ipad pro two years ago as a laptop substitute, but once I hit junior year (and online school) the iPad was not a suitable substitute for a computer so my dad invested in me to get a Macbook Air and there's such a difference. I use the laptop way more than my iPad now since I type alot, but the iPad is still useful if I choose to handwrite digitally. I still end up going back to paper and pen notes though because it works better for me.
2. Mildliners are worth it, I've been using the same set since middle school and they all work amazingly still, plus it takes them a long time to dry out.
3. I got a kanken bag my freshman year and it's been the only backpack I use. It can get kinda cramped sometimes but it's comfortable for me and I really like it. The brand is also sustainable so that's why it's pricey.
4. Muji pens are nice and smooth to like them, but as stated in the video you can't really highlight over them initially. Also it's annoying that if you drop it, depending on how it lands it will stop writing (usually if the tip hits the floor). There are much better pens out there, but I still use these ones mainly because it's all I have.
Also, a small side note, don't waste your time on pretty notes because you waste so much time that could be used towards studying -I mean if you want go ahead- but honestly doing neat notes with just a pen and maybe a simple black calligraphy title for pizzaz is a better option if you want better notes. Make your notes for you and if that includes art do it, but don't feel pressured to.
A set of markers really works well while studying and if you can make colorful notes then studying won't be boring ever!
I am listing down the things that I use on daily basis while studying and so much helpful!
1. A cheap set of watercolor pen (a set of 18/24 or even 12 will work)
2. Yellow highlighter ( You can also get green and pink, and for other colors I would recommend mild tones or you'll hurt your eyes for no reason)
3.Sticky notes ( really helpful if you want to keep your study materials sorted)
