One Note and Margin Note

So guys on Instagram I asked you if you would like to see how I take notes with my laptop. The apps I use are :

One Note

Margin Note (purchase)

One Note

It’s a Microsoft application in which I do and organize practically everything school/blog related. I do have also an agenda though.

First thing you can create are the notebooks, you can organize them for subjects, courses, year basically anything you want..As you can see guys I have 4 Notebooks:

Studygram and Youtube

Bioinformatics 1st Year

Bioinformatics 2nd Year

Bioinformatics 3rd Year

EER - SARM

After that, you can organize the section inside of the notebooks

YouTube

Instagram

Tumblr

Livestream

ToDo’s (it’s general but I didn’t know where to put it heheh)

Livestream is a particular section since there is only a table where I register when I record/live stream. I have a color code relative to the hours I do that and once is on YouTube and the other for Instagram.

As for the college/university notebooks the things are a bit different...

in the image below you can see how my Bioinformatic course is organized:

the section have been subcategorized for a first and second semester

after that, I wrote the course title and added the pages.

as the first page, I have the curve of forgetting and underneath all the chapters with the notes and this goes for all the subject

Emergency Medicine is organized differently as I have a different type of course and all of them are annual and not divided into semesters.

As you can see I have no main section whith the subsection, I just have all the courses names. I have, though, the main page with a table where chapters are written with my 3 goals ( R-W-R) and then subpages where the actual notes are, as you can see in the images down below.

PRO - CONS

Pro:

You can really organize everything easily

It’s always syncing

You can access everywhere form the web, tablets and phones

You can add tables, references, pdfs, files and recording.

User-friendly

Love how I don’t have a fixed format and I can add and move things around on the page.

Cons:

Difficult to format for a print version

Limited in the colors for the tabs and notebooks

Margin Note

this is the second app I use for my study sessions on my laptop, I love how I can store a lot of books in it and how I can type notes, flashcards and do mind maps just in one app! Unfortunately, it’s a Purchase app!

This is how the main page looks like, on the left, you can see the categories of the books you upload with the + sign on the up right side.

Once you enter a notebook this is how it’s formatted the app:

Attention: not all PDFs can be highlighted with the text options because they are scanned books so the the option you need to use is the squiggly line :D

You can choose three types of highlighting:

underline

Highlight

Highlight and underline

As you can see I used all the three depending really on the type of things I need. You can also draw on them (things I don’t really do ) and undermine freehand.

the two bars on the sides are:

left: outline of the highlighted things

right: notes and comments done with the bubble icons on the bottom right.

on top of the book you have four options, visualize just the pdf/book, the pdf with the outline/mindmap bar, just the mind map, or just the flashcards.

flashcards

this is another book where I did the flashcards, as you can see it’s a great way to revise because you create them extracting peace of info from the text and it shows you where the correct answer is, the colour of the flashcard (green for me are definitions and keywords) and the tag, these are #Q&A#.

Pros and Cons

pros:

I love how I can annotate, create mind maps, flashcards and outlines all in one app

the user-friendly type of the app

how I can store so many textbooks and categorize them

Cons:

App in purchase as well as the pro version that is expensive

the fact that only in the pro version I can open two PDFs simultaneously

No note page option

the possibility to attach the app only to Evernote and only in the Pro Version ( or in the in-purchase app option)

Hope you guys find it informative.

I do use also Word/Pages for the notes I need to print out or I just copy and paste everything and rearrange it into a printable version.

University: my Journey.

The really loved post about the university is here! a YEY for me and for you guys... We reached 2.1K on IG, I am super happy about it. 

A little Disclaimer: I suffered from eating disorders and some part of this article may be triggering. 

University... well. It was a really hard choice for me because I was so confused. My choices were: Veterinary, Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering,  Medical Bioinformatics, Nursing school, Dietitian, and Vet tech. 

My Year in Computer Engineering Bachelor Degree.

My transition from High School to Univesity didn't really go as smoothly as everyone expects to. I did some test for Engineering and got admitted in Bologna in Computer Engineering. In September the same Year, I did the Vet school national entry test, I failed miserably. 

At that point I had just one choice, do the year in Bologna and see what that course would give to me. I started to go to lecture, do the life of someone who lives in another city in a student apartment but I wasn’t motivated, I was always tired and I concentrated rarely on what I was following and doing. 

I started to think again about the medical field, I went to some of their lectures in Bologna since one of my friends (close friends) is there. I was really interested in their subjects and their study plan. 

Again a lot of doubts, was really my path? Did I choose right? Lots of what ifs that brought me in a cycle of depression and eating disorders. At the time I was binge eating, everything sweet I could find was in my mouth plus the commodity to not have parents around controlling was, even more, a trigger. 

Exam time was almost to an end, I didn’t pass any of the exams, I was always tired, I stopped going out and having fun with my friends, apartment mates, and colleagues. In the same period, I lost in three months around 16Kg, so my mom decided it was time for some blood analysis. 

My turning point.

When I discovered I was Type 1 Diabetic in March/April after endless visits to the hospital and blood analysis I ended in a circle of bad thoughts again. After thinking and talking with a university counselor I opted to change the bachelor into Vet school the next year. I talked with my parents and I did the second-semester exams and then I started to prepare again for this Exam. 

Medical Bioinformatics and My Vet ER course.

In September I did all the entry test I needed to do and waited for admission lists. I managed to enter in all the one I did but for Vet school was too far away from my city where I live. I wasn’t ready to go away again more for the Diabetes part and the fact that I would have changed the endo. 

Medical Bioinformatics is a course which combines Med school, Computer Engineering and Genetic Engineering. 

I am super happy for the choice I made, It’s not something induced by others, it’s not something that I can’t love because it’s still in the medical field. 

I decided to incorporate into my studies a Vet school preparation and ER crash course that will permit me to work in the Vet field even if I’m not an actual vet. I will become a paramedic in the Veterinary field so in the future I can pursue a career in the Vet school. 

Some tips

Choose what you love. Let you guide but not let others choose for you or put in your head that a certain course is better than others.

Research: Read all the courses and faculties that give you the option you love and evaluate carefully what can be the best option. 

It’s okay to not get it right the first time. A lot of you guys may be anxious about this decision because it will define your future. Future is not a static thing, pathways to reach your goal can be millions of billions.

It’s okay to want to change the field from what you majored in high school. If you ask some older students it doesn’t matter the background, obviously, if you already did it advantage you but that doesn’t mean anything in university. The determination is the key. 

Hope you guys enjoyed this post, I know it might not have helped you in choosing it but at least it gave you the idea that not everyone has a smooth path into choosing the university and sticking with the choice. :D

Hello lovelies ♥️ back with some notes. Today is a simplified version for @thestudyingmegan idea of using cheaper stationary. These are my jotted down Critical Medicine for small animals (cats and dogs) I will do a version for horses too! I used a cheap stationary store lined notebook(0.70€), uniball jetstream (1.30€), paper mate ink joy (1.20€), blue bic pen (0.30€) and two crayola ( 9.40€ for the 50 pack) and tombow fudenosuke soft ( 7.99€ shipping tax included for the dual pack ) I wanted to include the prices to show you guys that it’s not necessary highly expensive stationary it’s just a personal preference. #ERvet #ermedicine #vet #veterinarian #veterinarytechnician #vettech #studygram #studying #studymotivation #studyblr #study_time #studyblogger #studynotes #studydays #studydiary #notes #notestagram #notestumblr #notestumblr #notesgram #aesthetic #aesthetictumblr #aestheticnotes #notesinspo #notespo #studyinspo #studystyle #cheapstationery #thestudyingmegan (at Verona, Italy)
