Apps I love right now:

Quiet Reader

Snazzy Labs, introduced me to this, and it is amazing, by using a shortcut it turns any large block of text into a readable non- distracting, customisable interface. This app, currently Mac only, is completely free.

Structured

This is a day planner app as well as a calendar app, but it allows me to dump a bunch of tasks that I need to do in the sidebar and then plan my week accordingly. By not having a fixed time on when to start and when to end, I am free to shuffle around those tasks and place them where it works best for me. It enables me to see if I have planned adequate travel time and breaks for myself throughout the day. It's free to download, but some options are locked behind a paywall.

Cron

This is also a calendar app, recently acquired by Notion, so I am expecting big things from this app. I have been trying lots of calendar apps lately, as I find the default ones are lacking functionality. The most valuable feature I find it has is the keyboard shortcuts (those of you who use Notion will become accustomed to them quite quickly) and its use of multiple times zones on the one calendar view. It's free and only open to early access now if you want to give it a try.

Fig

This is an app for those of you who frequently use the terminal on your computer, and you are looking for an easier way to navigate around and execute commands. Fig is just a small app that offers a small IDE-like interface for the terminal. It's been so helpful for me, who can struggle with the correct spelling and phrasing of commands.

Heyo! My nickname is dulce and that’s what I named this blog after! I made this blog to be more productive, hold myself accountable and to document my growth and progress.

I use google calendar a lot (like a lot...)

Goals🌟

long-term goals: I want to get a software engineering internship, probably with iOS dev since that’s what I have the most experience with. I honestly don’t think I’ll get one yet, but I will definitely apply.

I want a job where I can code and develop software and still interact with people because I’m incredibly social and love to smile (an old nickname was smiley)

meeting people with interests similar to mine or just people in general, idk people can be cool sometimes

background: I was pre-med with a bio and psych double major. I was absolutely disinterested with bio.

I love studio ghibli with all of my heart and I love JOJO (let’s argue😤) and im currently watching AOT

favorite shows/movies of all time: the twilight zone (original series), stardust, Monty python and the holy grail, Star Trek (currently watching everything an in order)

things I want to learn: how to play the bass guitar, python, more java, more swift, investing

my new fashion ✨aesthetic✨ is dark/light academia and it’s rly cute and makes me happy

Why a studyblr 🌟

I thought this would be a good way to document my progress/ growth and inspire myself and others along the way

COVID and quarantine have been tough on me academically, mentally, kinda socially but I still talk to my homies and I just need to re-organize myself
