im working on accomplishing small tasks because im starting to feel overwhelmed with all the requirements that i need to do especially because our finals are coming up next week. im trying not to push myself too much and just check off my to-do list, one at a time.

march 2020, back to uni.

3 Apps I use for “Productivity”

* Forest App: Forest is an app where you plant trees and bushes in a certain amount of time. I mainly use it to keep myself focused and far away from distractions.

* Google Drive: This is where I storage all my files, documents, etc. I organize them by semester and subject and it’s so easy to use! Google Drive has simplified my uni life tbh, you can also color code your folders.

* Google Calendar: you can annotate your important appointments, events, tasks, etc. It also synchronizes with the calendar app (if you use iOs)

back for real now. a huge massive super thanks for 1000 followers (that's actually more than i've ever had on anything ever hhh)!! here are some cloudy pics from this weekend, both views are from southstoke, bath, uk 🖤🌫️🌾

After my last post about the lack of representation in academia, I felt it neccessary to provide some examples of what I’m talking about. Obviously there are more countries in the world than I can list and provide books for, so for a quick list this is what I got. !! Keep researching !! If you have any more books by POC please reply them !! If a country isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean it’s not important, this is just what I could get together real quick. If I made any mistakes, please let me know, we’re all learning. We need to help each other end eurocentrism in academia, so value representation and educate yourselves 💓💓💓
