How do you motivate your self to study?
Motivation is a fickle bitch that gets you drunk at parties and then leaves you to fend for yourself. What you need is self discipline, cause she's the good friend that makes sure you get home safe and drink enough water. That being said, here are my top three tips to get shit done:
Figure out your why. Why are you studying this subject? Why did you pick this degree? What do you want to do with this knowledge? Having your 'why' is absolutely crucial when it comes to motivating yourself to study. Let's pretend you want to become a history professor but right now, you're staring at this essay and you just really don't want to do it. Think about your 'why'. If you don't do this essay, then you won't get a good grade in this subject, which means you won't get a good grade in your degree, which means no masters/phD programme will accept you, which means that you will never ever ever achieve your dreams of becoming a history professor. Yes, it's pretty harsh, but so is reality. And do you really want to be sitting there in five years time, knowing that you could be living your best life right now if you'd only bothered to study for that one test? No? I didn't think so.
Timetables & Lists. If you're the type of person that timetables and schedule work for, then use that to your advantage. Plan out your ideal day, scheduling time to study, to work on assignments, and to do homework, but ALSO schedule time to eat, to take breaks, and to spend five minutes doing what you love before getting back into your school/college work. If timetables don't work for you (like they never work for me), then grab a pen and paper and divide it into three sections: Things I can definitely get done today, things I'd like to get done today, and things that can be done tomorrow. Write down all of your assignments or test topics you need to study for, and make your way through the list IN ORDER at your own pace. If you complete section 1, reward yourself by doing something you love, if you complete section 2, double that reward, and if you somehow manage to start and/or finish section 3, then take tomorrow off (if you can) because you're acing this!
Make it fun. Studying doesn't have to be boring. At all. Like. EVER. Even if you're studying for a super difficult test or you have no idea what to do for this assignment, you can still enjoy the process. Find out what makes you WANT to study your notes. Make it super colourful with highlighters and sticky notes, or make it super minimalistic with white paper and a black pen. Find out what makes it easy for you to learn things, and utilise that knowledge. You don't even have to make notes! You can use websites and apps like Duolingo, Quizzlet, etc. to learn things just as efficiently if you're not a note-taking person! In fact, I personally believe that the best way to study is to use the best aspects of all of these resources. I use Duolingo to learn German vocab, Quizzlet to learn verbs, and good ol' fashioned pen and paper (and a dozen highlighters) to learn grammar structures. Maybe you REALLY don't want to read this boring textbook? Well in that case, place a square of chocolate after each section to reward yourself, or read each paragraph and then challenge yourself to write out as many things that you remember as you can on a blank piece of paper. Studying isn't boring. People make it boring. Don't be one of those people.
hi everyone! i just started learning Japanese not too long ago. does anyone have some advice, or good resources? please let me know!
Welcome to Japanese! I just reblogged a Japanese language specific masterpost not too long ago, but those can be intimidating, so I’ll share some personal recommendations as well.
For YouTube channels, I highly recommend both Japanese Ammo with Misa and Miku Real Japanese. Both have very beginner videos and are very clear in their explanations. Misa’s videos are longer and super detailed and Miku’s are pretty short and to the point. For textbooks, I never used it myself but Genki is an extremely common and highly recommended textbook to start out with.
Some basic advice that I have is try to immerse early! If you enjoy slice of life manga, those tend to be really solid early immersion material, and most shounen and shoujo manga will have furigana.
Good luck, have fun, がんばれ!
I'm currently studying legal medicine, and I can feel the subject taking its toll on my anxiety.
i don’t know why but i’m really amused by the winner of some ‘new kanji’ contest:
compare with the real kanji
座 (seat/gathering), but the two 人 (person) radicals have been moved from next to each other within the 土 (earth) radical to diagonally from each other, making this “social distance(d seating/gathering)”
This is hilarious, but to further the hilarity, I’d like to point to the fact that half of the “A rank” (runners up) for this contest also are related to 2020 epidemic jokes
First up we have:
Compare with 太
The original kanji means “to gain weight”. But it adds the コ “ko” and ロ “ro” katakana symbols at the top to represent the weight you gain while staying home due to the corona virus.
Then we have:
Compare with 会
The original kanjij means “meeting”, but the lower radical is changed to look more like a “Z” to represent Zoom meetings. Thus, the new kanji means “web meetings” or “zoom calls”
And of course another social distancing one:
Compare with 話
This means “to talk” or “chat”, but it’s changed simply to show the two radicals social distancing from one another as we should also while holding conversations nowadays.
At least we can have some fun language humor despite all of this!

How to Deal with Study Burnout
As students in this day and age, it’s quite common for us to juggle rigorous academic responsibilities and overwhelming extracurricular activities. As a result, we might feel burnt out. But what exactly is burnout?
Burnout is when you feel physically and mentally exhausted as a result of constantly lacking the energy required to fulfill the demands of your studying.
Burnout can be broken down into three parts:
Exhaustion is what causes you to feel tired all the time and unable to concentrate. You could also get sick or have trouble sleeping.
Cynicism or depersonalization is when you feel disconnected from those around you, e.g. your friends and family.
Inefficacy is a decrease in productivity, efficiency, or quality of your work.
How do you know if you have burnout?
Symptoms may vary, but they include:
Being unable to absorb new information
Intellectual exhaustion
Decreasing academic performance and productivity
Feeling like you need to prove yourself
Making yourself work even more, even though you’re exhausted or being unwilling to study further
Neglecting your needs
Long term fatigue
Showing disinterest in things you normally enjoy, e.g. hobbies or friends
Denying that something’s wrong with you (may manifest in the form of aggression)
Avoiding social interaction
Feeling empty and depressed
What can I do to fix it?
Here are some short term solutions for dealing with burnout.
1. Take a power nap Power naps are life changing. They help you recharge your energy and get you ready to start working again. They also improve learning, memory, creativity, alertness, and mood. I would recommend napping for 30 minutes at most, because anything more will lead to a longer sleep session.
Optional: drink coffee before your nap - something that takes a short while to consume like a shot of espresso - so that you’ll feel alert and revitalized afterwards!
2. Take a shower A cold one will wake you up, but a warm one will calm you down. I suggest starting with warm water, then ending with cold water.
3. Exercise Whether it’s playing soccer or doing yoga, the important thing is to get moving! Exercise releases endorphins or happy hormones that help you combat stress.
4. Run a quick errand This will help take your mind off things while also getting something done! You’ll also end up walking, which is technically a form of exercise.
5. Call or visit a friend Sometimes what we’re lacking is social interaction, and hanging out with a friend definitely helps. Whether it’s providing you with a distraction or giving emotional support, your friends are always there to help you. Plus, science has shown that being with friends reduces your cortisol (stress hormone) levels.
6. Eat a snack Preferably a healthy one. Eat something with proteins, vitamins, and fibers to boost your mood. Here’s a list of mood boosting foods.
7. Surf the web This requires A TON of discipline, but it’s definitely a game changer. Surfing the web is one of the most relaxing things you could do. I personally look for a good laugh during my study breaks, so I’d watch a comedy or scroll through memes to get those happy hormones up and running.
8. Do an activity you find interesting, e.g. a hobby We all need happiness in our lives, and our hobbies are perhaps the best way to find that joy. You could sit down with a page turning adventure, or go outside and shoot hoops, or listen to a podcast, or even bullet journal, as long as you’re having a good time.
9. Listen to music Music is one of the ways we gain energy, so I always make time for it during the day. However, you should choose the right music, because not all the music you love is going to make you feel energized. For me, it’s pop punk with hard hitting beats, thundering guitars, and really upbeat, enthusiastic vocals. Some of you might be energized by mellow music with dreamy vocals that make you feel like you’re floating in the clouds. If you choose the wrong music, you might just end up feeling sluggish and drained.
10. Get some fresh air Your brain needs 20% of the oxygen in your body. Fresh air brings more oxygen to your brain so that you can think more clearly, feel less tired, and concentrate more easily.
How do I make sure I don’t get it in the future?
Avoiding study burnout in the long term has a lot to do with our study habits - as well as our daily habits. We need to make sure that our bodies and minds receive the things they need, and that we aren’t overworking them.
1. Study a little at a time Break up your notes into smaller, more easily digestible pieces and learn a little at a time. This way, you’re not overwhelming your brain, and you have time to let that new knowledge settle in.
2. Time management Having a good study schedule is crucial in preventing burnout. You don’t want to force yourself to work at your slow hours. Aside from that, you definitely shouldn’t leave things until the last minute, and sticking to a schdule will help you pace yourself. Here’s a post I wrote on How to Make an Efficient Revision Schedule and How to Beat Procrastination.
3. Get enough rest I cannot stress enough that sleep is so important for you. It improves your cognitive functioning and also enhances your mood, making it less likely that you’ll get burnt out. Make sure to take power naps, too, if you feel like you need them.
You also really shouldn’t pull all-nighters. Sleep is also involved in cementing memories in your brain, so if you study a little before you sleep, you’re bound to remember more than if you studied a chapter during an all nighter.
Having trouble sleeping? Here’s a post I made about my night routine and how to get better sleep.
4. Cycle your study environments Your body and mind are bound to get tired from being in the same location for prolonged periods of time. The best way to fix that is to study in different places: at your desk, your backyard, the dining table, a cafe, a friend’s house, the library, etc.You should find a frequency that works for you. I like to switch it up every 2-3 days; some people change locations every week.
5. Eat well As I’ve mentioned before, healthy foods with protein, vitamins, and fiber greatly improve your mood and your physical health. Proper nutrition will give your brain the power it needs to push through. Also make sure not to skip meals; honestly you’ll just end up feeling terrible afterwards.
6. Take frequent breaks Let’s face it, we’re human, we’re bound to get tired from studying for a long time. Taking breaks enables our brains to digest the information we just learned in a pace that works for it. Breaks also help us focus on something other than studying, so that when we do get back to it, we’ll be ready to digest even more information.
7. Set realistic study goals You’re gonna memorize all 500 pages of your biology textbook in one day? Good luck with that. Some of you might be compulsive studiers, but this kind of habit isn’t very good for your brain or your physical health. Studies have shown that excess studying can lead to lower productivity, fatigue, and - you guessed it - burnout. In the end, this will result in lower academic performance, perhaps even in the long run. So instead of trying to study so much in one sitting or one day, break up your material into chunks.
8. Maintain your social life Wherever you lie on the introvert-extrovert spectrum, everyone needs social interaction once in a while. It keeps you sane and healthy. Go out with your friends, have a sleepover, or maybe even a study date.
9. Start the day right What we do in the morning can significantly affect our mood for the rest of the day. Sometimes we don’t even feel like getting up in the morning, or doing anything that day. One thing you should do is create a morning routine you enjoy to jumpstart your day. Here are 8 Morning Habits for Productivity.
10. Think positive When we’re feeling burnt out, it’s hard to not think negatively about everything. In reality, that just makes our condition worse. So think positively! Start small, like congratulating yourself for getting out of bed today, and then work your way up to bigger accomplishments, like finishing 2 chapters of your textbook.
11. Keep a stress diary This is kind of a new concept for me, but it’s really great. How it works is that each day, you would write down all the things that made you stressed and how they made you stressed. This will help you identify the things you’re doing that’s causing your burnout, e.g.
Too long study hours? take regular breaks
Too much time in the same place? cycle your study environment
Not eating properly? set aside time to eat healthy meals at least 2 times a day
Not doing the things you love? schedule in time for that, e.g. during your long breaks
Not getting enough human interaction? make a study group
Too much negative thinking? adopt a positive mindset (you can always start small)
Not getting enough sleep? fix your sleep schedule
And that’s all I have for you guys this time. Hope these tips will help you manage your stress and study burnout whenever you have them. And if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to drop an ask!

Are you familiar with Iridodonesis?
Iridodonesis is a condition in which the iris (coloured part of the eye) vibrates during eye movements. Upon moving the eye rapidly, the iris can appear to ‘dance’, or ‘tremble’ (tremulousness). This occurs when the lens becomes partially detached (lens subluxation) from its suspensory ligaments.
The primary cause of iridodonesis is the subluxation of the lens. This may occur as a result of glaucoma, cataract formation, post-surgical complications, or trauma to the eye. The subluxation of the lens rarely occurs naturally; however, there are reported cases of iridodonesis occurring due to genetic mutations that affect the strength of connective tissues.

Dear self,
If you ever think of giving up, remember your goals, your dreams, which are bigger than your hardships. It won’t get easier, but you’ll get through. Just believe even if it seems impossible.

my school allows us to eat dinner and work in classrooms till 10PM so I took advantage of it yesterday and studied geography for the upcoming exam! the school looked so mystical at night I just HAD to take pictures :D
191007~13 // A chaotic week
To be honest, I’m just recovering from the exhaustion that this particular week caused me. I had two large evaluations in the middle of the week an a lot of material to review for certain activities. It really was chaotic.
Although it’s common, there were certain incidents in which protesters faced the police and tried to hide inside the university. The truth is that, almost everyone was very confused about it, ‘cause social organizations or the student federation didn’t call to march or make a demonstration that certain day. I managed to take that first picture ‘cause I had to cross right where the barricades were to get to my class.
How did my exams go? I could have had better results, but they weren’t bad. An after reviewing even during lunch, I’m just happy to be done with them for now. But, because of this, these last days I couldn’t advance in my Inktober project. So I hope to catch up in the following days.
Finally, on Friday I took part in an activity organized by the SCORP and SCOPH committees of IFMSA. It was dedicated to suicide prevention within the student community. It was interesting to hear the variety of experiences and approaches that the students have about mental health and this particular issue.
One week ends and another is about to begin, all that remains is to keep trying my best.

I often think about this case study from my forensic med text book that I had last year. Too bad.....this one managed to simultaneously horrify me and make me ugly laugh for two minutes straight, once the sheer absurdity of the case sunk in.
Tl;Dr : folks, truth is always stranger than fiction 💔
