The rise of studytube and studygram: Where focus meets aesthetic
On platforms like YouTube and Instagram, a quieter trend is gaining traction: students sharing their study routines through minimalist, calming videos known as 'studygrams' and 'studytubes.' With pastel planners, soft music, and time-lapse revisions, these creators offer more than aesthetic motivation—they build virtual solidarity around academic effort. Especially in India's high-pressure education landscape, this content acts as a companion, not a distraction. It doesn't promise success, but it normalises the process—discipline, setbacks, and all. While it raises questions about performative learning, its growing popularity reveals a clear truth: sometimes, seeing someone else study is the nudge we need to begin On social media platforms better known for dance trends and makeup tutorials, a quieter kind of content is thriving. Scroll long enough through Instagram or YouTube, and you're likely to find videos of students silently revising, annotating textbooks, or arranging stationery on a meticulously clean desk. Often accompanied by soft background music or time-lapse footage, these videos belong to a growing genre known as 'studygram' or 'studytube'—where academic discipline is not just practiced, but published. What began as a niche online subculture has evolved into a widely followed format, especially among students in India juggling school boards, entrance exams, and college applications. The influencers behind these accounts don't teach syllabus content. Instead, they share routines: daily to-do lists, note-making techniques, productivity tips, and 'reset day' vlogs. Their aesthetic is structured but soothing—minimalist planners, muted tones, pastel highlighters, and an emphasis on routine over result. At a time when education is increasingly competitive and isolating, this type of content offers more than just organisation strategies. It creates a sense of companionship. Watching someone else study can be oddly reassuring—what some call 'virtual co-studying.' For many viewers, these videos act as background motivation, offering structure during long revision hours. It's less about academic instruction, and more about emotional alignment: a shared anxiety, a shared effort, a shared desire to stay on track. The rise of academic influencers also mirrors a broader cultural shift. For today's students, studying isn't just private labour—it's part of a public performance of discipline, growth, and control. In a world where productivity is aspirational and the line between personal and public is thin, documenting one's study process can feel as important as the results themselves. Platforms like YouTube and Instagram offer visibility to effort—something the traditional education system often overlooks. Yet the trend also raises questions. When studying becomes aesthetic, does it risk becoming performative? Does the focus shift from learning to looking organised? There's no single answer. But the popularity of this genre suggests a clear need: young people are seeking community around a task that has traditionally been solitary. For many, these platforms are less about perfection and more about presence—about showing up, even on unproductive days. The videos don't promise instant success; they offer consistency, and a kind of virtual solidarity in the long, often uneven path of academic life. As the academic year progresses, and exam season intensifies across the country, the appeal of this content is likely to grow. In a world of relentless deadlines and silent pressure, a thirty-second clip of someone else quietly turning the pages of a textbook can be surprisingly powerful. Sometimes, the hardest part of studying is starting. And in that small moment, the screen becomes not a distraction, but a mirror.

Is Travis Kelce ready for Hollywood? Veteran actor Christopher McDonald thinks so after Chiefs star's ‘Happy Gilmore 2' cameo
What made Travis Kelce's acting in 'Happy Gilmore 2' unexpectedly impressive (Image via YouTube/Netflix) One of the most anticipated comedy sequels of the year, Happy Gilmore 2, is teeing up for its global release on Netflix this July 25. Nearly three decades after Adam Sandler brought the irreverent golf legend Happy Gilmore to life, the follow-up promises a nostalgic ride—with a twist that's catching the attention of both film and football fans alike. Enter Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce , whose unexpected role in the film is already generating buzz. Could Travis Kelce's acting in 'Happy Gilmore 2' hint at a post-NFL Hollywood career? Travis Kelce's inclusion in the sequel came as a surprise when Sandler first confirmed it during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon back in August 2024. While the full extent of Kelce's screen time remains under wraps, what's already clear is that the NFL icon has made quite the impression behind the scenes. Christopher McDonald, who famously played the smug antagonist Shooter McGavin in the 1996 original and reprises his role in the upcoming sequel, recently shared some candid thoughts about working with Kelce. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, McDonald admitted, "I have a love-hate relationship with Travis Kelce. His team beats my Buffalo Bills way too often. And I blame the refs sometimes." Yet, the tone quickly shifted to admiration. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Morocco (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo "Travis being the superstar that he is, at the end of the day, he's a tremendous guy. I really loved the guy as a person. And surprisingly a very good actor. He had too much fun." Happy Gilmore 2 | Official Trailer | Netflix That 'surprisingly good actor' remark has resonated with fans who have seen Kelce shine on the field and on screen with his New Heights podcast alongside brother Jason Kelce. But stepping onto a movie set is a different game entirely. Still, according to McDonald, Kelce held his own, not just with his charm but with his comedic timing. During a PEOPLE interview on June 25 celebrating the film's partnership with Subway, McDonald doubled down on his praise: 'Travis Kelce has been out there and I just really liked him as a person. He is really funny. Way too handsome, by the way, but really a good actor actually. Surprisingly good.' While he didn't spill much about the specifics of Kelce's cameo, McDonald did hint at the tight end's athletic edge possibly translating onto the green. 'I think he's got game,' he said of Kelce's golf skills. 'He's a good athlete. He's a beast. I'm sure he kills the ball.' Though they didn't get a chance to hit the links together during filming, the respect was evident. For Kelce, sharing scenes with Sandler and the Happy Gilmore legacy marked a personal milestone. Back in January, he told The Pat McAfee Show, "I thought SNL was going to be the peak of my acting and showman or entertainment career. Working with Happy Gilmore himself, the Sandman and Happy Productions, it was off the chain." As Happy Gilmore 2 readies its Netflix premiere, Kelce's crossover into film could become one of the most talked-about moments of the summer—not just for fans of golf comedy, but for anyone who's ever watched him dominate a football field. With the seal of approval from Shooter McGavin himself, it looks like Kelce may be swinging into a whole new level of stardom.

BTS' Suga's students didn't know he was a star: ‘He always arrived early, read my 500-page textbook, wasn't just a donor,' says hospital's professor
BTS' Suga wasn't just a donor for Severance Hospital. Unlike the other six BTS members, the rapper (Min Yoongi) served in the public sector during his military duty due to an old shoulder injury. In a recent YouTube video, Professor Cheon Keun Ah from the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry shared how Suga didn't just show up to tick a box or fix his DUI image. He came in prepared, had read her 500-page research paper, asked sharp, professional-level questions, and brought real intent to be involved. His sincerity didn't just impress, it convinced the whole team to create MIND: Music, Interaction, Network, Diversity. Also read: BTS' Suga mobilises global ARMY to raise over 200 million won in 24 hours with one quiet, heartfelt gesture According to the professor, before putting any financial donation on the table, Suga first wanted to see if music could actually change the lives of the autistic kids he was hoping to help. And for that, he offered his musical talent first. 'The sessions use music to help children build social and emotional skills through instruments, singing, and writing,' she said. Suga showed up every single weekend —ten sessions, 90 minutes each. 'He never missed a session, showed up before everyone else to practice, he tried hard to meet the kids at their level. His joy was visible, and we were all moved by his sincerity,' Cheon added. 'He wasn't a guest. He was one of us.' None of the children had a clue who he really was, to them, he was just a kind man who played music and made them laugh, she said. 'Thanks to Suga, the children were able to experience the harmony of words and music.' The centre in development is already being seen as a game-changer for autism treatment in Korea. Cheon said it had been her dream project for years, but it only became real when the BTS member got involved. 'His joy was visible,' she repeated. 'He truly cared.' Also read: BTS' Suga hit with TV ban petition over 'dangerous influence' after DUI case The professor recalled how the Daechwita crooner first approached her in November 2024 — about three months after his DUI, which caused a dent in his career and put him under global scrutiny. 'He came to meet me and showed a deep interest in child and adolescent mental health and autism,' she said, adding, 'He had read large portions of a 500-page textbook I wrote, and his questions were sharp and insightful.' He didn't want his name slapped on a plaque. He wanted to actually help. That's how the therapy program took shape. Before returning to his music career, the rapper told her he wanted to stay involved for as long as he could. Suga later donated a staggering ₩5 billion (around $3.6 million) to establish the Min Yoongi Treatment Centre, a special facility set to open this September. As soon as news of Suga broke in public, BTS fans across the globe stepped in to help. Within just a few hours, ARMY raised more than ₩200 million (around $145,000) to support the facility. The numbers are still growing, and hospital staff are overwhelmed with the love and support they are garnering from around the globe. So many donations poured in that the hospital's parent institution, Yonsei University Health System, added a permanent donation button for the Min Yoongi Centre on their website. Suga earlier said that he realised how powerful music can be when used the right way, not just to entertain, but to heal. 'It made me happy to be part of the treatment process for children with autism,' he said. 'I want to keep working so that more kids can live as full members of society.'
