cappuccino is for lazy fridays

Hi! My name is Amanda, but you can call me whatever you want.

I always wanted to have a studyblr to be able to share the things I believe and everything I know, but I often have nowhere to do this.

This is my first post, and I want to make it a space to exchange learning, talk about studies, books, tips, mental health, and things that make me feel good. I have been following the community of Tumblr for many years, but I had never dared to post something.

Now, quarantined and having more time to rediscover me, I believe this is the perfect opportunity! Icannotstudy has this name because, for some time, I have been procrastinating a lot, and I hope to create an environment here to share my way of keeping myself mentally balanced and learning many things while surviving the madness that is high school (and 2020).

First day of Junior year in the books! Optics class was a ton of fun and it’s so refreshing to be learning things on a deeper level now that I’m in my higher level classes. I also met the younger students I’ll be training to do research this semester and they’re so fresh and excited.

Tomorrow I have to present to the introductory physics class and somehow encourage them to come to my supplemental instruction meetings.
