I just made a playlist of songs that I listen to while I study 📚 Unfortunately, I have to lock in over the holidays, and I know some people are in the same boat so hopefully this will help motivate!

I didn’t do this on purpose, but it turned out EXACTLY 2 hours long, so it’s a sign from the universe that you should listen to it 😁

first day of winter break! i woke up early this morning for a meeting and it was still dark. then i witnessed one of the most beautiful sunrises i have ever seen. my entire room was orange

so glad finals are over :)

long study day at the library! there was a lot of snacks since it’s finals week but getting a spot was so impossible 😦 my friend and I saw three people leaving from behind some bookshelves and it was like the hunger games trying to grab our stuff and get seats before anybody else could take them

the library closed kind of early so now I’m back home and I have a long night ahead of me

- analysis study sheets (5/5)

- extra credit poem

- email people back 😭

- comp sci practice tests

- chem study sheets???

Zoe // 16 // she/her/hers // INTJ

Currently studying physics, chemistry, computer science, calculus, photography. Topics in physics I’m learning about are E&M, thermodynamics, relativity, standard model, cosmology, high-energy astrophysics, and fluids.

I’m interested in dark matter and CMB research. My academic goals right now are mostly focused on getting into university with a major in physics. I want to get a PhD in either physics or astrophysics and work in academia doing cosmology research.

Other fun facts: I play golf and am training in calisthenics. I really like listening to music and I have a really cute cat (he’s a little chunky tho). My favorite show is Voltron Legendary Defender, and my favorite movie is a tie between Oppenheimer and The Social Network.

i made this post a while ago and omg its even worse than i thought. i'm working on some electrostatics problem sets rn. how are you going to have v for velocity, V for electric potential, V for the volts unit, V for volume, U for potential energy, u for energy density, v (or i guess nu) for neutrinos, v for frequency???? they all look the same...

don't even get me started on k

why are there so many variables in physics? it’s like reading a whole new language and i’m dying here 😭

[eclipsellium]

who decided that both electric potential and electric potential energy were going to be a thing 😑 we need a serious discussion!

i’m back in the library and i’m actually getting some work done which is good! i’ve been feeling kind of down lately so focusing on homework has gotten a lot harder.

finals are coming up and all i want to do is watch arcane season 2 and rewatch voltron before it leaves netflix 😭 two more weeks….

[eclipsellium]

low-key was not expecting this— they are great songs tho you should listen to them — none of my study music is up there :( guess that means i’ll have to lock in for next year

also the fact the i was in the top 0.001% of listeners for my top song is kind of wild 😭

[eclipsellium]

studying outside ✨ but then getting nothing done bc the weathers nice…. still have to finish up my notes for astrophysics and then go through the lectures for e&m

[eclipsellium]

i actually got out of bed and did some work 😳 total 90 mins so far. next on my to-do list is emails and suddenly i want to crawl back into the darkness

[eclipsellium]

i have too much to do but not enough time 🥲

[eclipsellium]

early morning study session! i’ve been at it for two hours and i’ve only gotten through 7 physics problems but that’s the fun part 😁

pretty sure i got one wrong bc one of my solutions is 1.3 x 10^65 hydrogen atoms….

[eclipsellium]

actually studying in the library for once 😊 and yes, i did spend five minutes drawing those gorgeous field lines instead of being productive

[eclipsellium]

random physics comp i probably bombed 😭

classical mechanics is so fundamental but also kind of plain

[eclipsellium]

there's nothing more satisfying than the program finally working!! i went through multiple breaks of despair only for the stupidest line in the code to be the issue

[eclipsellium]

there's always all these trackers and calendars online that are supposed to "increase your productivity" "help you be more efficient" blah blah blah

sometimes you just got to write it down on a piece of paper and take it one step at a time.

i dont know if this is just the monkey brain inside of me but after a couple weeks of trying a new planning or scheduling hack, it just stops working. i feel like it's really difficult to just sit down and get stuff done especially at the times i dictate it.

i just want to go with the flow

[eclipsellium]

spoiler alert: they did not lock in for the month of october

(i'm back lol)

i'm going to lock in for the month of october! so i'm making a list on here of everything i have to do this week and seeing if i can finish it

thermodynamics module

photography composition practice

titration procedure / lab / analysis / presentation

midterm review sheet

immigration research paper

particle motion lab

energy conversion lab

add magnetic field to ising model simulation

finish chapter 2 part 1 of cs textbook

mini-essay of music in great gatsby

practice test for analysis midterm

read chapter 6 of great gatsby

crossing my fingers that this holds me accountable. my procrastination is way out of control...
