When I discovered studyblrs, I actually wished I had exams to study for.

Believe me, I never EVER thought this would happen.

So here’s what I’ve learned: for me at least, aesthetics matter. My friend Eveline and I bonded over the importance of chic study spaces and fine writing implements [while the Monkey looked on, confused], and the #HappyThesisChallenge began!

Here’s how it works:

For anyone stuck with library work this summer, thesis or otherwise, we’ve got your back. Let’s hold each other accountable in style by posting inspirational images showing how our workspaces make us happy!

I also started my own Tumblr.

If you want some concentrated study-inspiration, follow me here!

I’ll be posting all summer as I write my dissertation, and I hope that you will join me. Use the hashtag #happythesischallenge

P.S. for when you don’t feel like studying just yet: films for inspiring productivity and work ethic
