The year is 2018. Your bills are on autopay. You just got paid and you still have $1200 from the last check. When you want something, you buy it without moving money around. Your credit cards are paid off. You and your friends have 2 international trips planned and paid for this year. Your parents are in great health and you’re able to help if they need anything. You love your job. Your desired creative career is falling into place and you get to take your little cousins to Six Flags and Universal Studios over the Summer. Your relationships are healthy and supportive. All of the toxic energy from the past 6 years is gone. You going to concerts, eating good across the states and your crib has art and warmth throughout. 2018 is going to be so good to you.

quick tips for research papers

triple check the original assignment/handout that you got from your teacher and make sure you have included everything that they mentioned you need to include. some teachers like to nitpick little things, so don’t give them any reason to mark you down.

quotes. use them. they make you sound scholarly, they prove that you actually did your research, and they help up your word count. even if they aren’t required, use them.

remember. to. cite. your. sources. cite both your research, any quotes you used, and any pictures you included. for quotes, quote them in the paragraph and in a works cited page. if it’s a long and formal thesis paper (like an IB EE), cite them in footnotes of the page and in a works cited page. for pictures, cite directly under the picture (in a smaller font) as well as in your works cited page.

plan out your time. when will you have all your research done by? when will you finish the rough draft? when will you edit?

it will take longer than you think it will. so start sooner rather than later.

have a friend edit your paper. when you’ve been staring at a paper for too long you’ll accidentally skip over grammatical errors.

don’t plagiarize. just don’t do it. you know better.

keep track of each source you use, otherwise making the works cited page will take ages.

if you have to use books and scholarly articles for your research, use google scholar. it’s google, but it only show you books, scholarly articles, and legal documents.

use wikipedia, but use it sparingly and do. not. cite. it. wikipedia is a good resource for your understanding of a new topic. it’ll help you get the general idea of what you’re researching. but don’t use it for much more than that.

use the links/sources at the bottom of wikipedia to help you find relevant and credible information regarding your topic.

they suck up a lot of time. usually they’re boring and you don’t want to do them. but remember that you absolutely have the ability to get an A on them. don’t let them stress you out too much. it’s doable. you can do it. you got this.

I think a big part of what makes procrastination so common is that we underestimate how hard it is to “just get out your books and study.”

I always see tips for not procrastinating, and maybe they are really helpful to people with good self-discipline but I read them and feel worse about myself bc for some reason I had a preconceived idea that I just couldn’t do those things…maybe seeing all those tips and tricks made me believe that studying was an easy task, only suitable for people with the newest stationery, most aesthetic study spaces or prettiest notebooks.

I thought studying was just something i couldn’t do well, like my brain wasn’t built for that. I felt like I was destined to always procrastinate and be a failure.

A big part of getting over procrastination was realizing that studying is one of the most difficult things to do as a student. for procrastinators, it takes a huge amount of effort to stop scrolling through social media and get out books. personally there is a huge fear and anxiety associated with “studying” and it makes my stomach churn and heart race just thinking about it. to get out from the safe space of distractions to facing our fears is immensely difficult.

if you want to study, it takes a LOT of effort to turn off your phone, get out your books & pens and do questions that make you feel dread and anxiety and inadequacy.

it takes a great deal of effort to confront the habitual thoughts in your brain that say “you’re stupid” or “what’s the point” or “this is too hard” or “i’ll never understand this” or “this essay will never be perfect so why even try.” 

it’s immensely difficult to fight your inner perfectionism, denial, avoidance, making excuses, or feelings of inadequacy as they are deeply ingrained defense mechanisms all created to avoid studying.

for some people like me these voices are even louder because they’ve procrastinated so much that there’s an overwhelmingly huge pile of studying they need to catch up on.

People regard studying as some sort of common thing that “anyone knows how to do.” but it’s actually a difficult skill that needs to be learned and practiced, like learning a musical instrument. you wouldn’t give up on that if you weren’t good after 2 days, why feel the same about studying?

but like any difficult task it is 100% possible and it will be worth it, you might even enjoy studying after a while. I promise that it will be freaking uncomfortable and stressful and terrifying at first to face your fear of studying. you might feel sick and every inch of you wants to procrastinate. But try to force yourself to study on a routine for maybe 3 weeks and it will get easier I promise. I’m trying to do that right now and you should too, I believe in you.

Prepping for the school week ahead. ✨ I’m still very much stuck on writing the Results section of my thesis so I grabbed some coffee, arranged my desk, and updated my calendar* first.

somehow I got 95/20 on an assignment

I hope they never fix it and leave it this way forever

I want to apologize to myself for constantly submerging in a state of panic, for allowing myself to self-destruct for so many years. There is a person inside of me who deserves kindness.
