racists are not welcome on my blog. anyone discriminating other human beings for their race, gender, disability or sexuality is not welcome. anyone thinking they are superior to other humans are not welcome.

Dark times all around but there are still people out there who love you

I have this huge issue: I love being creative, writing out my notes, and making them pretty and colourful. Unfortunately, I spend about 90% of my valuable study time colouring/highlighting/etc. Also, my hands cramp up. So, I created a fool-proof little study pack that allows me to have fun AND actually study! The fun part is choosing the fonts and colours, but it doesn’t take SO long that you waste an entire day.

Essentials: Pages (or any program you prefer), your course syllabus, and any class notes you may have.

PAGE 1: The first page will be a quick summary of everything that will be in your study pack. Since mine is for my Women’s Studies class, my cover page highlights all the important terms + concepts that I’ve picked out from each lecture. I also include every reading assigned throughout the course, since I KNOW these will be on my particular exam.

PAGE 2: This is where I copy out all the important terms and concepts from the first page. I’ll add all the necessary info here (statistics, pictures, notes). My advice: try to avoid writing ONLY the definition. Definitions won’t help you to fully understand any concepts. Just think, you can’t answer an essay question on a subject if you only know the definition.

- *student in a lab coat, cutting in the cafeteria line* YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND I DON’T HAVE A LOT OF TIME MY EXPERIMENT IS GOING TO CATCH FIREEEE

- *loud pop*    student, in very calm voice: well that was painful

- lab assistant, seeing me frantically pulling on gloves: oh no. what did you do now

- professor: come on guys, don’t hate on social sciences majors… it’s not their fault they were born this way

- so i was grading your tests last night. i wanted to kill someone.

- you have five minutes until the end of class to finish the test. but i want to go outside for a smoke, so three

- *section of lab report titled “applications of compound”* i heard that a drug cartel used it to dissolve bodies, should i list that?

- “i’m synthesizing this compound in my next lab class, what kind of stuff effects the success rate and yield?” “dunno man, it depends on your karma”

- based on my recent lab assignments, i have come to the conclusion that the professor wants me dead

- dude, Fehling’s solution contains glucose, what if it tastes like lemonade?   *proceeds to dip finger in and lick it*   well that was a disappointment. the potassium hydroxide makes it kinda bitter.

big, small, old, new, studyblrs! Like or reblog! I want to meet all of you! I want to a supportive and active member of the studyblr community :)

looking forward to becoming friends, 

the water warriors fighting for access to clean water for all

the teenagers imprisoned for fighting back against oppressive regimes 

those fighting for access to education for all

for the future of the planet 

for gender equality 

for safety and protection from gun violence

for governmental representation and engagement for youths 

for the rights of immigrants 

for syria and the rights of refugees 

for literacy and the representation of WOC in books

for trans and queer rights 

for protection of girls against forced marriage and child slavery

i hope that one day we live in a world where children are allowed to just be children, where they dont have to fight tooth and nail for their rights and their futures, but i could not be prouder of this generation 

Hi!

I want to talk about an amazing website called Freerice. (It’s been around for a while so some of you might know it, but it has upgraded a bit)

It’s a website that helps people. You help people. By learning.

You play quizzes on the website, the categories include: English (grammar and vocab), Geography, Humanities (famous quotes, paintings and literature), Math (multiplication, algebra), Science (Human anatomy, chemical symbols), but most importantly, LANGUAGES!

You can practice Spanish, Latin, French, German, Italian and CZECH! It’s basically just a vocabulary training, but you can choose different difficulties.

Now why is it so great? I’ll quote the website now: “As you play Freerice and answer questions right, advertisements appear on your screen. When you see one of these advertisements, you trigger a financial payment to the World Food Programme (WFP) to support its work saving and changing lives around the world.”

The website is a great way to practice your target language (or any other subject) for a couple of minutes and help people in the process. I really really love it and I think it’s a great way to make the world at least a little better.
