Study hour: 5H59M

Just completed and submitted the final version of my Extended Essay !!! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° 

So I compiled lists of words that I found super super useful in making it easier for me to finish any essay !! Here is a masterpost of some sort with transition words + key vocabs grouped together for easy access as well as an IB IOC ‘cheat sheet’ I used for my english LAL orals last year (though most commentaries follow a similar structure so its generalisable) ~

Good luck with your essays !!!

11:38 AM | starting to worry my young Karl Marx bust is gonna shoot me dead for actually enjoying my econ class

my seemingly never-ending physics notes 🌟 the fact i kept them neat over the school years is really making a difference now that i have to revise!

☞ 2/100 days of productivity— ☾ now playing: low

1. remember that grades don’t determine your worth. you are talented and smart and special no matter what!!

2. ask your professor about how to improve for the future. most professors have been teaching long enough to know how students can succeed in their class, they will likely give you good advice for how to improve for the next exam. also, they’ll appreciate that you care about your grade and want to help!

3. look through the exam/essay to figure out what you could do differently for next time. don’t just toss it to the side because you’re upset about it, use it to your advantage!

4. consider this an opportunity to grow as a person. you are now more resilient to future struggles that come with being a student!

making my notes cute is the only reason why i’m ever motivated to study😴

I've been messing around with my handwriting. I've also been steadfastly doubting how I'm going to memorize this presentation.
