Design the Study Space of Your Dreams

July 28, 2021
As a middle school student, studying for tests and quizzes will take up quite a bit of time and is crucial to your success in school. No pressure, right? Well, we have a few tips that can make the space you study in one of your favorite places to be and help you focus on your schoolwork.

Pick your space

First on the list is to pick your study space. This could be a corner of your bedroom, your family’s living room or just a place in your home that you can get comfortable in. Don’t forget to choose an area that is free of distraction. This could be noise from other family members, pets or electronics that can easily distract you.


Make it yours

Once you’ve chosen your space, it’s time to make it your own! This is your chance to add your favorite things, whether that be posters, string lights, pictures, drawings or anything that makes you smile. These items are going to set the tone of the study space and make it one of a kind. Remember, the touches you add to this area will make it uniquely yours, so choose wisely. Grab a comfy chair or cushion to make your space inviting.


Stock Your Space

When you’re "in the zone" while studying, there’s nothing worse than your pencil breaking, your pen running out of ink or your Post-Its going missing. It’s best to stock your study space with all of the tools to make your time efficient. Don’t forget to grab a variety of different color highlighters to color code your notes!
