How to Stay out of Arguments
1. Ask yourself: Is important enough to fight about? Is this the right time and place to be having this argument? Will arguing about it change anything? If the answer is ânoâ then thereâs no point arguing.
2. If you find the same person always picks an argument, plan strategies for helping you stay calm around them, so you donât get drawn in to an argument.
3. Learn to recognize when things start to change and a conversation turns into an argument. Choose to stop and withdraw before things escalate.
4. Be aware of your triggers. Know the comments and looks that tend to set you off, and recognise when others are pressing your buttons â so you know to walk away or quickly take control.
5. Try not to take the comments too seriously â as the things that are said in an argument are rarely balanced and accurate. Theyâre usually meant to provoke and are wild exaggerations.

Tips for Improving your Self -Esteem
The following suggestions may be helpful for a person who finds that they are struggling with low self-esteem:
1. It starts with a decision to be your own person. Donât live your life to please, or impress, others.
2. Try to grasp the fact we have different goals and values ⊠And donât be swayed by people who criticise your dreams.
3. Donât compare your journey to someone elseâs journey as we start from different places and face different challenges.
4. Be kind, understanding and patient with yourself. Accept mistakes and failures are part of all our lives. Also, choose to frame mistakes as learning opportunities.
5. You need to root for yourself, and seek to be your own best friend. Donât put yourself down â in public, or when youâre alone.
6. Remind yourself a weakness can become a strength in time. It takes patience and effort â but eventually things change.
7. Make a list of what youâre good at, and keep adding to the list. Also, note the strengths that others see, and comment on, as well.
8. Treat yourself with respect and praise the things that you do
9. Find ways to dissipate and channel negative emotions. Donât allow them to dictate the way you start to see yourself.
10. Spend time with those who like you, and can see your worth and value. Ignore those who attack you, and would like to see you fail.
11. Choose to stand up for yourself, and value being more assertive. Also, set and then enforce appropriate, healthy boundaries.
12. Admit your mistakes - then learn to laugh at yourself. It helps remove the pressure and the stress of âbeing perfectâ.

How to Really Comprehend a Scientific Paper
**credit to my research advisor, sheâs an amazing mentor and I aspire to be just like her someday :)
Read the abstract. Write down what the paper says it is going to be about.
Read the introduction. Write down what the paper says it is looking to accomplish and how.
Read the conclusion. Write down what the paper actually did accomplish.
Go through and find all the pictures, graphs, or diagrams. Write notes explaining these images to yourself.
Read the whole paper start to finish. Write a summary of the paper as though you are explaining it to a layperson, and then another summary as though you are explaining it to a colleague.
Throughout all of the above steps:
If there are words you donât know google them and write down the definitions
If the paper defines a formula, law, variable, etc in a certain way write that down
If there are references to or recommendations of other literature write those down. After the last step if thereâs anything youâre uncertain about or would like more information on look to that list for further reading
Forget pulling all-nighters and chugging coffee until itâs practically coursing through your veins. You know what gets me hyped up? Earl Grey tea on slow sunny mornings after a good nightâs sleep. Submitting an assignment early, knowing youâve completed it to the best of your ability. Reading for pleasure. That feeling of limbless relaxation after a good workout. Unearthing all your buried interests and falling in love with them over and over again.
Repeat after me: success is not suffering. Success is nOT-
spending winter break with no snow but finally getting through some sat prep and books!

âI learned not to trust people. I learned not to believe what they say but to watch what they do. I learned to suspect that everyone is capable of living a lie. I came to believe that other people, even when you think you know them well, are ultimately unknowable.â

What Neurobiology Can Tell Us About Suicide
by Catherine Offord (The-Scientist)
Top Image: © Lynn Scurfield. Infographic by Lisa Clark.
The biochemical mechanisms in the brain underlying suicidal behavior are beginning to come to light, and researchers hope they could one day lead to better treatment and prevention strategies.
The first time Kees van Heeringen met Valerie, the 16-year-old girl had just jumped from a bridge. It was the 1980s and van Heeringen was working as a trainee psychiatrist at the physical rehabilitation unit at Ghent University Hospital in Belgium. As he got to know Valerie, whoâd lost both legs in the jump and spent several months at the hospital, he pieced together the events leading up to the moment the teenager tried to end her life, including stressful interactions with people around her and a steady accumulation of depression symptoms.
Van Heeringen, who would later describe the experience in his 2018 book The Neuroscience of Suicidal Behavior, says Valerieâs story left a permanent impression on him. âI found it very difficult to understand,â he tells The Scientist. He asked himself why anyone would do âsuch a horrible thing,â he recalls. âIt was the first stimulus for me to start studying suicidal behavior.â
In 1996, van Heeringen founded the Ghent University Unit for Suicide Research. Heâs been its director ever since, helping to drive scientific research into the many questions he and others have about suicide. Many of the answers remain as elusive as they seemed that day in the rehabilitation unit. Â Suicide rates are currently climbing in the US and many other countries, and suicide is now the second leading cause of death among young people globally, after traffic accidents. The World Health Organization recently estimated that, worldwide, one person ends their own life every 40 seconds. Â
Suicide is as complicated as it is tragic. Suicidal behaviors come in many varieties, ranging from suicidal thinking, or ideation, to suicide attempt and completion, all of which may be associated with various levels of violence or intent. The behaviors themselves differ in incidence among genders, ethnicities, and other demographic categories, and almost always occur against a background of depression or some other mood disorderâalthough only a fraction of people with mood disorders become suicidal.
No field of scientific inquiry can single-handedly untangle a phenomenon as complex as suicide. But van Heeringen and many other scientists are hoping to shed light on the problem by digging into the neurobiological processes underlying thoughts about ending oneâs own life and attempts to do so. This work is building support for the idea that suicide is tied to specific biochemical changes that can be measured and targeted independently of, and possibly in parallel with, the mental health disorders they often accompany. Findings from this work, researchers hope, could help reveal new treatments, and perhaps even opportunities to identify the people most at risk in time to intervene.
âThe knowledge we have today is way larger than what we had twenty years ago,â says Gustavo Turecki, a psychiatrist at McGill University and the director of the McGill Group for Suicide Studies at the Douglas Research Centre in Montreal. â[Weâve] made tremendous advances ⊠in terms of understanding the complexity of the problem, understanding the neurobiology, understanding the causes.â
The role of the brainâs stress pathways in suicide
Valerieâs account shared elements with the stories of many other people who have attempted to end their lives. She showed signs of depression and social stress, and, as van Heeringen later discovered, she had a family history of suicideâa known risk factor for suicidal behaviors, independent of any psychiatric disorders.

i remember thinking that the only way to be loved was if i reinvented myself to be desirable. as it turns out, the person whose love i was seeking in the first place was myself, and the most desirable version of myself i could think of was a person whoâs happy, so iâm working on that instead.
âYou carry so much love in your heart. Give some to yourself.â

whatâs the terror bill?
The Anti-Terror Bill is a new law that aims to stifle dissent in the Philippines in the guise of âpreventing terrorismâ.
The bill defines a terrorist as anyone who can be a threat to the state. And with an administration that views its people as the enemy, this is a direct threat to freedom of speech and the right to life and liberty.
Under this new law, anyone âsuspectedâ is as good as guilty. You can be arrested without a warrant for 14 days and placed under 60-day surveillance on suspicion alone.
Any person wrongfully detained will no longer receive compensation for every day of illegal detention.
How do we know that this is targeting freedom of speech?
1. Well, for one, seated officials have, on numerous occasions, referred to protesters and activists as âterroristsâ - telling them to be afraid that the terror bill has passed.
2. Students from national universities, known for their active stance against the bill, had fake facebook accounts made under their name (me included) and some have received direct death threats from these accounts.
3. This comes at the wake of ABSCBN (one of the two national broadcasting stations) suspension and the arrest of the editor in cchief of Rappler (popular online news source). If this doesnât prove that the goal of the duterte regime is to silence, idk what is.
TLDR: the new bill aims to classify dissent as terrorism and will most likely be weaponized to attack government critics, including student activists, journalists, and regular citizens who voice their concerns in public
I will reblog with some reading materials.

I love using âgood catchâ
I also say âthanks for the updateâ or âthanks for the headâs up!â
âI really appreciate the headâs up!â also a classic
If I havenât gotten back to someone in a swift enough period (i.e. one work day max) I say âthank you for your patience. after some consideration, I have decidedâŠâ
donât apologize for piddly things!Â
thank you > sorry
I need to remember
thank you > sorry
Thank you for waiting for me > sorry for being late
Thank you for helping me/for your time/for listening to me > sorry for bothering you
Thanking someone when they do you a favour > apologizing for your existence
This is especially hard when you havenât been taught that people need to respect your limits, but with a bit of practice you can absolutely get there!
