Day 1 of winter classes - Introduction to Psychology: Part 1

The History of Psychology

It’s 3am and my classes started at midnight and I immediately hopped onto my Psych class.

I am so incredibly excited for this class and am ecstatic that we’re using Crash Course Psychology as a resource for the term.

Absolutely pumped.

I get a lot of asks about highlighters and smudging, so I thought I would just talk abt it here! I almost always do my notes with muji’s 0.38mm black gel pen on loose leaf and then I wait for it to dry (~30min) and highlight with mildliners or stabilo highlighters, and there’s no smudge 😀 (Alternatively, pigma microns r rlly good for no smudge if you don’t want to wait)

mugs. are. back. at one of my fav coffee shops and it’s unreal how happy I am!

Also- taking votes, should I go to sleep when I’m planning on getting up at 3:30 AM for a flight? current leaning is just stay up because… well otherwise I’d just take a short nap

Chrome extensions I actually use as a mentally ill university student

Making websites easier to digest:

Dark Reader - Changes any webpage to dark mode.

Mercury Reader - Simplifies the layout of any webpage to eliminate distractions and irritating formatting.

Podcastle AI - Turns any article into a podcast. This is a lifesaver for being able to process what I’m reading, to be honest.

Spelling/grammar:

LanguageTool - Spelling and grammar check for those of us who regularly type in more than one language.

Grammarly - Spelling and grammar check for those of us who only type in English. Can be used with LanguageTool installed, which is what I do.

Google Dictionary - Define any word on the webpage with a double-click.

Google Translate - Translate an entire webpage or even just a short segment.

Misc:

AdGuard Adblocker - After trying quite a few adblocker options, this is the one I find the best.

The Great Suspender - Automatically suspend inactive tabs to help with performance. <- as an edit, I don’t believe this is available anymore

Honey - Try coupon codes automatically to save money on online purchases.

Built-in Chrome tab grouping - Group your tabs to keep organized and minimize distracting clutter.

☀️ Day 6 of My 2021 Summer Studying Challenge! ☀️

6th July - What do you usually do during the summer? Is anything different this year?

i usually go to france for the whole summer with my mum and stepdad. and then usually i would go somewhere with my dad - maybe abroad or maybe camping depending on the year. but this year is quite different cause for starters we literally have no idea when we will be able to go to france and everything is just kinda up in the air until we find that out. also i don’t think i’ll be going anywhere in particular with my dad. i think we might end up going away after the summer probably because now that i’m not in school, i’m not constrained by school holidays anymore

It's been a while since I made my own notes. Everything's on my laptop now. Even my books are scanned so I have something to read on the screen during recits. One year huh. It's been one year. It's very uninspiring to try to study something that's being repeatedly violated and disregarded by the people trusted and expected to uphold them. I'm trying, though.

The numbers are turning into names and those names into people we know. Take care of yourselves.

🍑 I'm leaving this picture of my tidy table here, but what I really want is to you look just to the wonderful book that is on it.

I'm so in love with it that I'm sure I can read it again and again and I'll never get tired.

“The ‘now what’ question is a continual challenge, not a static endpoint. It means to open up creativity, exploration, ongoing efforts from multiple places. To do all that, we have to keep reading, keep listening, keep reflecting, keep learning.”

Day 30 of the Zoomester Studyblr Challenge

okay, so i didn’t exactly succeed at participating in this challenge, but i knew this month (and the upcoming ones) would be quite hectic… in any case, i wasn’t told this as a piece of advice per se, but i think ‘trust in the process’ is a line everyone should keep in mind, always. it applies to literally anything, from academia to health and other life goals; as long as you consistently put in the work, you’ll arrive at your desired destination :)
