hello, people! summer break just started for me and i’m so excited for what’s to come! i figured that making a masterpost would make it official and also would give everyone some ideas how to spend it fruitfully!! let’s begin fellas :’)

- the day school ends -

aka the day when you realize that you have days and days ahead of you and don’t know where to start

deep clean your room – this will give you he feeling that summer has actually begun and plus you now have a clean room haha

make a new playlist (a big one, okay?) – these are super fun to make and also summer does deserve some new funky and sporty songs in its bag

relax – go pamper yourself; get that double scoop ice-cream, go to spa, maybe get your nails and hair done. you have survived till summer break and you deserve this!

try to sort out your tasks and assignments into your planner – I know this can be tough, especially at the start when holidays have just begun; but try to at least plan out for the next week or two. maybe you want to work on that essay or write out those notes – planning will def help you to feel organized and get back your life in place.

- the following weeks -

gET THAT SHIT DONE NOW!!! SERIOUSLY DO IT!! DON’T PUT IT OFF TILL THE LAST WEEK!!! DO IT FAM, DO IT!!! (im low-key saving your butts with this tip, please listen to me) – write out those essays till they are perfect, solve that problem set till its ingrained in your brain, do your readings and write those notes. do it!!

combine that shit with fun stuff (see below) don’t burn yourself out please. and most importantly do not stress!!!11!!!!!

connect with people. call that friend you forgot about and that aunt who has been asking you over for dinner for ages. summer gives you the time to rekindle your relationships and seriously though, connecting with people will make your life much happier.

get a new hobby!! do you draw? paint? write? whatever you do – start doing it. use that time which you spend on the internet in exploring your passions and finding your interests.

seriously though, do that work first.

- some (fun) stuff to do in summer -

clean your closet (do it mate)

compliment people more

smile at strangers often

vlog your days. maybe start a YouTube channel for this?

revamp your blog

learn coding and revamp that shitty theme of yours (this applies for me, chill)

keep a gratitude journal

go a week without any social media (this will be hard, but try it!!)

go hiking or cycling with a friend

read 7-8 books or as many books as you please

have a do nothing day - treat yourself love!

learn a new kind of dance - this is really fun, i promise

go a whole day with any technology

do a 30 day challenge!!

seek out an interesting article to read everyday

go camping in the hills

have a bonfire!! roast marshmallows (or burn old notes lmao)

learn to knit/sew

save up!! (…they blow it all in a single day? lmao don’t though)

star gazing on a clear night!!

talk till dawn about random shit with a random person

a no makeup day – let your skin breathe

go on a family trip!

visit a sanctuary or a zoo with a younger sibling or smol kids

there are endless possibilities!! these are just some to get you started!!

- the last few days -

yo remember you still have winter break to come this year!! don’t be sad, fam!!

have a dance party in your room with your favourite music on (bc you only live once)

check and recheck if you got all that work done (if you didn’t, rip you haha)

check your school’s site for new updates and stuff (I bet you don’t do this though)

annnnd then enjoy your last day!! trust me - you’re going to have an amazing term ahead of this!!

Hope this helps! + you can always send me requests for masterposts since my ask box is always open! (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡

Love, Taylor xo

I see a lot of positivity posts about 12-year-olds just learning to draw.  Posts cautioning us to be mindful of 11-year-olds with no grasp of anatomy and 13-year-olds whose characters are all the same person with different hair and clothes, and I love those posts.  Those are great posts.  Keep those posts coming, tumblr.

But can I ask, what about the 25-year-old who just bought their first ever sketchbook?  What about the 32-year-old who’s been drawing for a month and has just about got the hang of a human-looking face?  What about the 67-year-old who finally has time to sit down and learn how to paint like they’ve always wanted?

Not everyone starts drawing as a child.  Not everyone learned as a preteen.  Some people start in college.  Some people start when their career is going well and they feel like it’s time for a new hobby.  Some people start after they’ve retired.

Not all beginner artists are kids, and I just thing the adults ones deserve some encouragement, too.

“Saturday, November 30. Beautiful day! An accumulated lack of sleep caused me to pass out as soon as I got home yesterday, causing me to wake up this early. It’s cold. My body is craving salt. Feel like a bowl of miso soup. But… I’d better finish that bread I got two days ago. Miso soup or bread. Gotta pick one, since they don’t go together. Or do they? Maybe I can make miso soup… that goes with bread.” — Kitchen for Singles, Episode 3: Soy Milk Miso Soup in the Morning

Respect! :')
