almost a physicist 🙇

All that matters is that we reach the end.

started working on my Classical Japanese final and made some good progress!

You have been greeted by the book frog, he wishes you well in your reading jouney.

Today was the last exam of the spring and I have a lot of time before another exam season. What a great live 🫧

M2 diaries 07/100: I turned into a productivity beast today. I finished the chapters and practice questions and made Anki flashcards for 4 lectures. My snack was delicious. Low light that I didn’t get the miso soup I was craving because the store only accepted cash money.

5. Read. Yeah, you heard me. Read and I’m not just talking assigned reading. I bet my left butt cheek that your campus library has /something/ of interest to you. Commuting and don’t want to drive out there? Library databases bro. We’re in the digital age, motherfucker. I’d bet my other butt cheek that the shit you want is in a nice little PDF somewhere. But na man, you thinking maybe you want to go into computer science? Check out computer science books and eat them up bro. You don’t like reading them? Probably not the field for you. You a biology major in your second year? Yeah dumbass. Time to break out the bio books and not the ones your professor is shoving in your face. Amaze your friends and teachers with your out of class knowledge. Be a fucking star.

7. Got some time between classes? An hour or more? And it’s not already set aside for lunch? Go look at your assingment calendar you just did in pretty little step 5 and do something inane and stupidly easy for one of them. My favourite thing to do is find a journal article/paper or two for those damn reports and research essays you’re gonna have to eventually do anyways. Is the paper big? Write a small summary on each paper you’ve read on your next break. Literally some stupid tiny paragraph of notes on the thing. Even steal a quote or two and put it in quotations so you know it’s a quote. Write the bitch up as a reference (CMS, APA, etc) the fucker ‘cause hell knows that’s the most annoying part. Suddenly when you need 10+ sources and 5+ pages of writing you’ve already gotten all your sources done, and look! Your shitty little note paragraphs are now beta paragraphs for your essay. You should know by now what that paper is about, so write yourself a summary sentence. Turn that into an intro praragraph, copy and reword it with evidence from the rest of your notes for a conclusion, and bam. You’ve got your beta essay. Edit that shit and done!

5. I’m not an academic advisor. These tips work for me and pretty much every student I’ve met, but they might not work for everyone. You have been warned.

long library days

Because the studyblr community is just that. A community. And everyone deserves to be treated equally.

[the human heart] by Gregory Orr

you don't want to look back and wish you had worked a little harder.

drink a cup of water, tie your hair up, pull on your comfiest clothes, get your desk clean and ready, print out past papers, set your notes out, turn your laptop on, turn off all distractions, take out your stationary, open your books, take a deep breath, and just start.

I’ve been trying my hardest to enjoy and fully utilize this season of free time I have before my internship starts. I haven’t gotten summer off in a while until this year and so far I’ve been doing laundry outside, visiting gardens with friends, trying to sew clothes, and reading lots of books. It’s not all fun and games tho I’m also taking classes and doing a lot of family stuff and struggling to stay healthy lol but it’s not too bad since I’m not alone in any of it, Alhamdulillah ✨

really struggling to focus 🫠
