bolded = favourite, cursive = apps I use every day

Note taking and co

Pocket - very useful app to save websites, articles, posts etc and read them offline.

Werdsmith - very clean and minimalistic app for writing, I use it mainly for creative writing.

Microsoft One Note - Simple app for note taking and making online notebooks.

Memrise - My favourite app to learn languages for free. I’m learning Japanese with it!                                                              

Duolingo learning languages for free is always fun and duolingo is so easy to use, it’s even more fun! I use it to practice my Spanish.

Studying

Forest - Who doesn’t know and love forest yet? It’s such a cute application and I use it when I have a long study day/night ahead.

Brainscape - My to go app for flashcards. It has a giant library and it’s easy to make your own. Honestly, I’ve been using it for 3 years now and I still love it.

MindNode - also an easy way to make mind maps.

Uberchord - learn how to play the guitar for free c:

Notenapp - keep track of your grades - German

Others

Sleeptown - From the makers of forest a very cute app that helps you keep a healthy sleep schedule. I try to use it but I forget it often, sadly. 

Tydlig - not free but honestly the best calculator you can have on your phone! Beautiful and simple it makes math so much more fun!

Spark - organizes your emails (even from multiple accounts) and notifies you if something important comes in. Very neat design.

Moon - cute app that shows the phases of the moon depending on the date.

bonjour! since i started teaching myself french a few months ago, i thought it would be a good idea to immerse myself by listening to some french music. a lot of french music, actually. here are some of my favorites! (requested by @athenastudying)

cœur de pirate 

she’s canadian + my absolute favorite artist at the moment! her songs are more on the melancholy side, but they have a lovely vintage vibe. also her music videos are v creative so definitely check those out as well! faves: crier tout bas, adieu, ensemble

indila

i’m not usually crazy about indie pop in english but I love indila’s music in french! her songs have a good beat and i often find myself belting out her songs during my solo dance parties. oops. faves: dernière danse, tourner dans le vide, sos

stromae

stromae’s music is actually one of the things that inspired me to start learning french!! his music is a blend of hip hop and electronic, which isn’t usually my thing, but i absolutely adore his music. faves: papaoutai, tous les memes, alors on danse

mika

his songs are super catchy and upbeat! i listened to “boum boum boum” for the first time (w the music video) when i knew about four words of french and ended up thinking it was about guns? (spoiler alert: it’s about sex), but i still love it. p sure these are his only two songs in french but i have played them on repeat more times than i care to admit. faves: elle me dit, boum boum boum

fréro delavega

i only discovered their music recently (Fréro Delavega is a two-man duo), and it took me about 0.3 seconds to fall in love with their songs. their songs have a lot of great harmony, and they’re lighthearted and fun to listen to. faves: mon petit pays, ton visage 

joyce jonathan

another recent find! i like to play her music on my phone when i walk to school in the mornings because it’s p relaxing. faves: je ne sais pas, ça ira

édith piaf

i practically grew up on edith piaf, even before i started learning french properly. her music is wonderful and definitely classic. faves: la vie en rose, a l'enseigne de la fille sans coeur,  non, je ne regrette rien

+more

i love these songs, but i have yet to listen to more music from these artists! they’re still fantastic

badaboum / buridane  coups et blessures / bb brunes  l’air de rien / margaux avril  les jours electriques / jenifer  on trace ma route / christophe maé  on ira / zaz  on ne vit qu'une fois /  sidoine  sur ma route / black m  tombé sous le charme / christophe mae

this week from my bullet journal! november is already off to a good start :)

i just uploaded a video on “how i bullet journal” on my youtube channel + finished 3 essays + almost done with a pile of math homework, so i’m feeling good and productive and fantastic!!! ahhh it was a good weekend :’)

Hello lovelies! ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/  

Today’s masterpost would be about picking a college major! ( which is something i’m quite avoiding as well lmao). It’s not an easy task, and sometimes it would take a lot of reflection and careful consideration. However, it could be a fun way to discover yourself at the same time! Hopefully, I wish my advice will help you in this crossroad of your life.

Here’s some steps to guide you ( WARNING: this is going to be a long post)

i. Know your passions and interests

Maybe you’re a tech wiz who wishes to become the next Mark Zuckerberg. Maybe you’re a die hard activist for women’s rights. Maybe you aspire to make films like Wes Anderson. Maybe you love the periodic table so much that you’ve memorized all 118 elements. It is most likely that your interests would play the biggest role in choosing a major. When there’s a plethora of courses offered nowadays, if you know what you truly want and what you’re deeply passionate about, it would help a lot. 

If you have the knack for making money and setting up online stores in Etsy or Instagram, maybe you’d love Business. In no time, you could be a billionaire or a CEO of your own corporation. Some courses related to business would be:

Accounting

Finance

Marketing

Entrepreneurship

Management

Economics

If biology was a piece of cake for you and you are curious about the many wonders of the universe, you’re a natural fit for the Sciences.  Whether you enter the world of medicine as a doctor or an engineer, who knows if you can find the cure for cancer or build award-winning structures? Some courses related to science would be:

Biology

Chemistry

Physics

Engineering

Information Technology

Computer Science

Maths

If you’ve got hundreds of sketchbooks filled to the brim or you’ve imagined yourself performing in Broadway, the Arts is your soulmate.  You’re a creative soul blessed with a beautiful mind. You can’t wait for everyone to read your New York Times best-selling novel or applaud your spectacular masterpiece. Some courses related to arts would be:

Fine Arts

Creative Writing

Music

Theater Arts

Graphic Design

Architecture

If you’re a history trivia master and politics is your cup of tea, then the Social Sciences is for you. Through the social sciences, you could become tomorrow’s leaders and law makers. Some courses related to social sciences would be:

Law

Psychology

Sociology

Development Studies

Political Science

Criminology

History

Education

If you’re fluent in 10 languages and you love immersing yourself in different cultures,the Humanities is where to go.Through the humanities, you can become a diplomat or a well-known philosopher. Some courses related to humanities would be: 

Literature

Foreign Languages

Philosophy

Theology

Asian Studies

If you’re the editor-in-chief of your school’s newsletter or you aspire to become a Youtube vlogger, Communication is your best friend. You’ve got a talent for connecting with people. Through Communication,you can bag an Oscar for your film. Some courses related to communication would be:

Film

Journalism

Advertising

Mass Communication

ii.  Ask someone

You could talk with your parents, friends, mentor, counselor or anyone you trust. They could narrate their own experiences and help you widen your perspective. But don’t  let them dictate your choices, they’re only there to give you an edge or guidance in your decision-making. In the end, you’re the one in control of your life, not them.

iii. Research,research, research

The Internet is such a treasure trove these days. It would be very useful if you could check out websites of the universities you plan on entering.  Some offer virtual classes. You could explore hundreds of blogs and forums that will inform you on the major you’re interested in. There are sites as well that give out your possible career opportunities, what skills you must possess and the perfect college for that course.

Here are some resources! 

Big Future

My Majors

Find Your Calling

Gustavus

The Complete University Guide

LUC’s What’s My Major Quiz

The Common Application

Sokanu

iv. Other methods

 Elimination Method

I once went to the guidance office and got some university brochures. I read about their course offerings and encircled what I liked  most, and crossed out those I’m not interested in. This could be helpful if you’ve got a dream university in mind. Also, it would give you an idea of what specific type of course you’d like

Career Proximity Method

Maybe you’ve got a dream career instead. Research on what possible courses that could lead you that job. Learn How To Become is an awesome site for that!

Internship Method

You could take a workshop or internship that would be related to the major you’re interested. I once took up an internship as an operations manager so I know what’s in store for me if I took a Business course. As I have said, it’s a good opportunity to widen your perspective and learn more.

v. Last Reminders

 Never pick a major that you dislike or forced to take

You would be dedicating yourself to study that course for more than 10 hours a day, and for four more years or so. Also,  if  you’re not passionate about the course you take,it would be detrimental to your studies and future.

Never pick a course just for prestige 

A lot of people choose a course only to achieve success in the future. Although it isn’t bad to aim high and become ambitious, don’t forget that you’re in college to have fun and LEARN as well. Choose a course that you love. And if you would dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to it,it will become rewarding one day.

Here are quotes from the movie, 3 Idiots, that inspired me so much (GUYS YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE LEGIT)

“Never study to be successful, study for self efficiency. Don’t run behind success. Follow behind excellence, success will come all way behind you.”

”Today my respect for that idiot shot up. Most of us went to college just for a degree. No degree meant no plum job, no pretty wife, no credit card, no social status. But none of this mattered to him, he was in college for the joy of learning, he never cared if he was first or last.“

”Whatever you enjoy doing, make that your profession. Then work won’t seem to be work, but a game.“

( source )

Don’t worry, there’s always a backup

If you didn’t like the major you picked, you could transfer. If you have two courses you like, there’s two solutions for that. You could either have double majors or “ major minor”. I heard in other universities that you could make up your own course as well.

And that’s it! 

Thank you @studynest for this lovely suggestion.
