As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.Ā It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search termsĀ
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.Ā As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

dark academia - self care edition
iām on a school break this week and iāve been trying to find ways to rest/recharge while i have the time, so hereās a list of some academia-themed self care ideas <3
brew a cup of your favorite tea and look out the window for a bit
cut up some fruit to eat and arrange it nicely on a plate
reread an old favorite book - or just your favorite chapters
bake something or make a nice dinner for yourself
lie on the floor for and listen to music
watch a documentary about something you find interesting, even if itās one youāve seen before
put on classical music and take a long bath/shower
make origami with book pages
read some poetry, or write some of your own
light a candle and watch the flame
if youāre religious or spiritual, spend some extra time on your prayers/meditation
buy flowers for yourself (optional: press them between heavy books so you can keep them forever)
tidy your desk
go outside barefoot and stand in the grass until you feel just a little bit cold, then wrap yourself in a blanket to warm up
write yourself a love letter and seal it with wax
as lovely as it is, learning can be quite rigorous and itās important to avoid burnout. take some time and do something kind for yourself - you deserve it! i love you all and i hope you do something beautiful today <3

I love your blog. Your note taking is crazy awesome and I want to ask you so much. I'm going to be a freshman in college majoring in biochemistry, and I guess to start I was wondering shays your advice on how to take notes? I used to be one of those who tried to write down everything possible but that doesn't exactly help you retain info. How do you decide what to write and how do you organize?
Hi! First of all, thank you for the compliment! Iām so flattered wow
Regarding my notetaking - Iām the type of person who tries to write down as much info as possible in my lecture notes. Here are some tips that could prove helpful:
1. Pre-read. If possible, read through (or even just skim) the textbook. This way you will be able to recognise the lecture materials that can be found in the textbook and those that arenāt in the textbook. Focus on writing down the things that CANāT be found in the textbook.
2. Take notes religiously during class discussions. Also, take detailed notes when the lecturer is going through an example. Chances are new material that cannot be found in the textbook, lecture slides, etc. can be introduced during these occasions.
3. Write down what the lecturer says, but rephrase it into your own words. This way, you can gain some comprehension in the process of rephrasing, and often also save time because you can significantly shorten what you have to write down.
4. Use abbreviations and shorthands. Make up your own abbreviations and keywords! As long as you can understand what you have written, itās okay. For example, I write ādiff.ā instead ofĀ ādifferentā, andĀ āEn.ā instead ofĀ āenergyā. This actually does help me save time.
5. Voice record your lectures. This way, when you are lost going through your notes you can refer back to the voice recording.
6. Go over your notes after lectures to identify the things you donāt understand, and the things that need additional explanation. Sort them out ASAP. Leaving them till later will make your workload snowball exponentially! (speaking from experience here)
7. Donāt try so hard to make your lecture notes neat that it slows you down. Personally, I cannot make neat notes in class because my thoughts and ideas are scattered everywhere and disorganised during lectures. During lectures, new info is being thrown at me and Iām often not ready to organise them in one go. So during class time I make notes, focusing on writing down as much info as possible and not caring about how it looks as long as it is legible. Only after class would I organise the info into neat summaries once I have an understanding of the lecture materials.
I hope this helps! xoxo
revision methods that actually work //Ā studygram: alimastudies
1. Memory mind mapĀ
Personally, this is the most effective one for me. All you need is a blank piece of paper. Pick a sub-topic that you are doing e.g in biology a topic could be immune system and the sub-topic could be antibodies and antigens.Ā If you want you can create some questions for each sub-topic and on your blank piece of paper, using questions as a guide, write everything you know about that sub-topic without your notes. After get your notes out and check and correct with a different colour pen. Watch this video to get a better understanding
2. Flashcards
I recommend you use written flashcards, unless you have vocab or definitions in which case digital ones like quizlet is fine. You should have questions on one side and your answers on another - iāve heard people say the answer shouldnāt be long but i find that the more detailed it is the higher marks you score in the exam - of course summarise donāt just copy from a textbook or there is no point in doing this. When you test yourself try to do something else other than reading, for example write the answer down and then check and correct.
3. Spaced intervals
No point cramming for an exam. Yes it might have got you an A* in GCSE or other lower level exams but itās certainly not going to get you an A* for a-levels or other higher exams. Space your learning out and if you can try and revise everyday, even if somedays are just for half an hour, DO IT! It will help you in the long term. Donāt revise one subject/unit for a whole day, space it out. For example donāt revise like this: AABBCC, revise like this instead: ABCBCA or something along those lines.
4. Mind maps
My favourite revision source!!! For some reason in an exam ( i only use mind maps for essay based subjects) i can remember where i put each point on my mind map which helps me write my essays and retrieve my information more in the long term! Donāt make it boring by trying to beĀ āminimalā - ADD COLOUR !!! But to stay within limits, too many colours can make it look overwhelming and confusing !
5. Teaching someone else
Either teach your younger siblings or pretend you are teaching to an imaginary class - while it may seem crazy it works, trust me. Use a whiteboard to help you illustrate your ideas! This method will help you identify any gaps in your knowledge and youāll truly see if you know something well enough to explain it. If you cannot explain it to a six year old then you truly have not got the grasp of it, as Albert Einstein says!
6. past papers
Honestly, this should be the last thing for your revision, unless you have not left enough time to revise all the content and you are running out of time then past papers should be the first thing you do. Do these properly, donāt do it just to see what gaps you have in your knowledge- genuinely do it as if it is a real exam. This will help you see how well you can apply the content you have memorised for an exam. It will also get you familiar with the mark scheme which will help you get as close as full marks !!!

Just gotta love spending your easter sunday revising at home⦠Aloneā¦
Hi Stephanie, I'm at Oxford for a term as a visiting student and have been looking for quiet study spots. I don't work well in large reading rooms padded by the incessant banging of keyboards. Since you must be a lot more familiar with the nooks and cranes of the Bodleian libs, I was wondering if you could recommend some places (besides study carrels) where I could be a peaceful hermit with her reading. Thank you thank you thank you!
Hmmm. You may want to check first if your college library has any nooks & crannies that often go unused as a first option. If not, here are a few recommendations, though I want to preface by saying that the amount of noise in any given library (coughing, papers rustling, laptops, etc.) in Oxford is largely a function of what time youāre in the library. (Also, you might have thought of this already, but earplugsāthe foam ones from Bootsāalso do the trick in a pinch.)Ā In my experience, the Bodleian/other major libraries are busiest from the hours of 10:30-4:30 PM.Ā
Laptop-free sections of the Bodleian reading rooms. Ask a librarian where these are in each library if you arenāt sure. I know for sure there are a fair amount in the Upper Radcliffe Camera, the SHist section, so have a wander. (If by any chance someone has been naughty & is using a laptop, let a librarian know and they will move them to another part of the library without incident.)Ā
Silent study pods in the Social Science Library. These sound pretty perfect for you.
Top floor of the English Faculty Library. Hardly anyoneĀ goes up there because itās laptop-free!Ā
China Centre Library has individual booths for study and a separate no-laptops reading room with a closed door.
Radcliffe Science Library Reading Room. Iāve heard it gets cold in the winter but more science students who do their work by hand (and also have labs & canāt camp out all day necessarily) = less laptops & more quiet.
The Sackler (Classics library). When itās busy, itās busy, but in quieter hours (early morning; evening) itās excellent, and the circular shape + bookshelves being made out of quite thick metal means sound is easily muffled.
Upper Reading Room is generally quiet in the early morning or evening, plus being so high up (as opposed to the Lower Rad Cam, for instance) means there is absolutely no noise coming from the outside. Many of its regular readers are above the age of 25 and thus usually go home after 5 pm, so definitely consider this for evening or early morning use. Thereās also no better validation than being one of the first people in the Bod, incidentally.
Duke Humfrey. Again, not laptop free, but as itās a rare books room and not for regular use, itās quieter than the reading rooms generally are. Thereās an old woman who angrily hushes people if they type too loudly.
See if thereās a book you need to reference that is only available in a college library. This is a really good way to get into a college library to study, as theyāll let you into the library to reference one book because you wonāt have borrowing rights (one time only though, usually, unless you can make an excuse for needing to see it again.) This can also be done if you have a friend at another college. Many college libraries are huge, sparsely populated, deathly quiet. Off the top of my head, Lady Margaret Hall has several quiet desks with beautiful views; St. Johnās is creaky but hushed, & when I was there, there were only two other people (I couldnāt hear anything they were doing); Wadham has several reading rooms (think an art history one?)
The Oxford Union. If youāre not a member sometimes the gate is open. Its library is small and full of laptop-users, but the rooms (downstairs and the few upstairs) are generally not in use, if youād like to take up residence for a few hours. Not all of them have wifi but they are deathly quiet.Ā
Iāll edit this as I think of more but hopefully thisāll start you off!
