Other Rate my study setup
Inspired by a beautiful setup I recently saw posted here.
Mine is complete with a forgotten half cup of cold coffee and low effort study snacks.

To me, it looks like a tidy mess, which, in my opinion, is the best kind of study setup! It's lovely.

All good, I wasn't offended. Your comment made me laugh out loud, 'cause yeah. Parent here!
Good luck to us both! I'm 29 and in my first year of my BA Psyc major. Planning to get my Masters and/or PhD to become a Counselling Psychologist, most likely. There's so much schooling yet to come. Ha.

I wish you all the strength and success. You can do it.

Mousepad on laptop is wild, other than that, pretty comfortable

That started as a way to save space when using my lap desk, but now I just do it all the time. 😅

Omg it reminded me of my own setup I study in my house guest room cause it has a big table and sofas around plus alot of natural light 😅 Also I am saving for a proper study table till then guest room it is But the setup is great 🥹

Haha yeah, I actually do have a proper desk in my spare room and a lap desk for portability, but I'm currently clawing my way through the lone Statistics course that's required for my degree. I find working through it easiest with extra space to spread out my notes/tools/formula sheets. The dining room table is my current go-to spot.
Hopefully you get your own study table soon!

Lone statistics man sounds hard, I am in medschool so this went above my head 😂 good luck bro for your studies

u/ShrinkiDinkz 2d ago
I'm so over it. Not a math person, at all lol, but yeah, it's a completion requirement for my Psyc BA.
Thanks, and good luck to you, too!

This is a solid set up but It looks like your running low on energy, i mean coffee lol. Overall if its in a spot where you can be focused than it looks good to me. Cheers to Studying!

The real study happens with that one pencil and page so bro’s serious. (Always wasted my time with 50 colored pens😂)
1
u/ShrinkiDinkz 1d ago
Lol I use one pencil, one black pen, and one multicolour pen (for marking self tests and whatnot). That is all.

u/Pretend_Response3165 1d ago
Thats a good technique. How do you make it fun?

u/ShrinkiDinkz 1d ago
What do you mean?

u/Pretend_Response3165 1d ago
I meant how do you make studying fun like more engaging any tips
1
u/ShrinkiDinkz 1d ago
Ohh. Yeah, it's basically not fun, unless I find a topic in a course that really piques my interest. Currently I'm working through a Statistics course and it's just something I need to do to earn my degree. No fun there, lol.
