One thing that students have always struggled with is finding the motivation to study. Some tasks only take an hour to finish but somehow procrastination always gets the best of us. Plus, distractions are literally everywhere—Netflix, Kdrama, you name it. After all, it’s easier to laze around than answer that Algebra homework, isn’t it?
But, I bet you’ll change your mind once you subscribe to these student vloggers on Youtube. Trust me, watching their productive videos will motivate you to bring out your books and begin that study grind. You can even think of them as your study buddy! Instead of using Netflix for background noise, you can play their relaxing study videos to keep you company.
Here are some Filipino content creators that you can follow to get you started:
Alyanna Ross
No matter what type of student you are, you’ll definitely find Alyanna helpful, especially when it comes to organization tips, advice, and other school-related woes. She is best known for her creative intros and transitions that are usually referenced from iconic TV shows and games.
Mar Fortuno
Mar is proof that having a clean and organized study space goes a long way for your productivity. Like most of us, she’s a homebody who studies in her room most of the time, yet surprisingly, she gets a lot of work done. Her vlogs are also a good reminder to take study breaks whenever you can—play Genshin, watch anime, or make your favorite iced coffee recipe.
Sophie Concio
Get a glimpse of the idyllic university life in Ateneo through Sophie’s uni vlogs. What I love about her is that she always highlights the importance of self care, slow days, hanging out with friends, and winding down amidst stressful weeks. That's right! Being productive is more than just burying your face in a textbook.
Ciara Gan
Check out Ciara’s vlogs for study, fashion, and art inspo all in one! Before she became a full-fledged content creator, Ciara had gone viral for sewing and designing her own prom dress which even made it to international media outlets. Watching her vlogs will inspire you to study, rekindle your hobbies, and channel your inner artist every once in a while.

Aiki Estrada
Coffee, sunset, and lots of studying—these things basically summarize Aiki’s entire brand. Accompanied by lo-fi beats and calming tracks, her study vlogs will make you realize that maybe studying isn’t so bad after all, especially when you romanticize the process and get yourself a good cup of coffee.
Aly’s Notes
Aly describes herself as a “med student with specific aesthetic”. Her videos give off dreamy and minimalist vibes that make them absolutely pleasing to watch. If you’re looking for something relaxing to watch on your study break, try putting on one of her study vlogs.
