Simplicity speaks volumes. A perfect corner for a little escape🍃🕯

ladies listen. we are not academic victims, we ARE academic weapons. every time you step into a classroom you are giving the middle finger to centuries worth of men in power who said you didn't deserve to be there.

being feminine in academia is a weapon in itself. they're scared of us. use that.

when you're feeling disregulated, you do not need people. even though in that moment there is this restlessness and everything feels ugh and you feel like life sucks and there is no saving anything, what you really need is what you need when you were a kid and you got cranky because you were physically tired:

you either need to eat, sleep, throw up, or cry. or all of them.

that's what you really need. sometimes the disquiet, the void, the not feeling okay? it doesn't have to be existential. it just has to be listening to your body. and I know, I know, you don't really know how to do that, you feel like you disassociate so brilliantly from your own body.

which is why: eat or throw up. cry and then sleep. or eat and then sleep. or throw up and then sleep. whatever combination works.

and then when you wake up, make yourself some nimbu pani (lemon water) and add some pudina (mint) leaves if you have them at home and tell your mother you love her.

and that boy on your mind? just go work, now that you feel better. because he doesn't have you on his mind anyway. no matter what he says. actions>words, right?

how to take better notes during fast-paced lectures

taking better notes during fast-paced lectures can be challenging, but here are some tips to help you keep up:

abbreviations and symbols: create a personal shorthand system. for example, use “w/” for “with,” “b/c” for “because,” and arrows (→) to show relationships. this can significantly speed up your note-taking.

focus on main ideas: listen for key points and concepts rather than trying to transcribe everything. lecturers often emphasize important information through repetition, changes in tone, or visual aids. pay attention to these cues.

structured methods:

cornell method: divide your page into three sections: a narrow left column for cues, a wider right column for notes, and a bottom section for a summary. during the lecture, jot down main points in the right column. after the lecture, add cues and a summary.

outline method: use headings and subheadings to organize information hierarchically. this helps in understanding the relationship between topics.

mind mapping: create a visual representation of the lecture content. start with a central idea and branch out with related concepts. this method is particularly useful for visual learners.

leave space: if you miss something, leave a gap and move on. you can fill in the details later, either from the textbook, recordings, or discussions with classmates.

record the lecture: if your lecturer allows it, recording can be a lifesaver. you can listen to the lecture again to fill in any gaps in your notes. just make sure to review the recording soon after the lecture while the material is still fresh in your mind.

review and revise: go over your notes as soon as possible after the lecture. this helps reinforce the material and allows you to clarify any points you didn’t fully understand. consider rewriting or typing up your notes to organize them better.

active listening: engage with the lecture by asking questions and participating in discussions. this not only helps you understand the material better but also makes it easier to remember.

use technology: apps like evernote, onenote, or notability can help you organize and search your notes efficiently. some apps even allow you to record audio and sync it with your notes.

do you have any specific challenges with note-taking? let me know in the comments.

The MARINA discography saga continues. Been a bit since I was so fixated on an artist, but her songwriting is a breath of fresh air.

My chemistry midterm is tomorrow, my math midterm (day before yesterday) went. Absolutely terribly. Because our teacher came up with original questions and cancelled stuff. So that's not a fun precedent for the rest of my internals.

I really enjoy chemistry so my concepts are definitely there, now I need to go through fine print.

it both appalls and scandalizes me that it’s so normalized to say you prefer coffee over tea. coffee is so overrated. coffee does not spread through your body the way tea does. it does not imbue your soul w a warm glow. it does not fit into the palm of your hand as if it were meant to be there, as if it were the long lost friend you’ve been waiting for all along. you look at tea and you see love reflected there. coffee doesn’t do that. coffee has never done that

Wasn’t feeling the best today so I decided to not study but just opened my notes for five minutes. I’ve been studying for 4 hours. Sometimes all you need to do is start.

My Museum of Failures as a girl that is going to med school this year!🩺

Got the idea from @rain-is-studying 💗

I was failing chemistry 3 years in a row (9th to 11th grade) here's proof lol

A chemistry teacher told me to forget about getting into med school because of my lack of knowledge 🤡

I got incredibly low grades on the first med school entrance exams

I was so bad at chemistry I didn't know where tf to even start

I barely passed Modul 4- Evolution in biology class

I wanted to give up like a thousand times 🤌

Moral of the story:

Hard work pays off! Never listen to what others may say and do not get discouraged by your current situation!

YOU GOT THIS! 🤍
