I just got my Psychology grade back and I'm over the moon!! I'm so shocked by how well I've done on my final exams/essays so far!! I'm equally terrified and excited to get my other grades back!

Two down, two to go, but 80% and 84% are both amazing grades, and I'm so happy with them!!

Slept in today before having some breakfast and coffee in bed. Recently started reading Cases in Clinical Forensic Psychology by Margo C. Watt.

In the afternoon I went to the gym and had lunch before doing some notes for my research methods class.

I dunno why, but I kinda like when I'm reading a book from the library and someone has pencilled in notes and circled words before.

Hi there!!

My name is Mari, and this is my study, academia, reading and learning related sideblog!!

I am in my second year of studying criminology in Amsterdam. I have this habit of wanting to know absolutely everything in all fields of study, so I’m widely interested in sociology, psychology, criminal law, art, literature, different cultures, history and more!

My goal with this blog is to share my passion for learning, see and give inspiration for books, movies, museums and other cool things.

A while ago I suffered from a burnout, so with this blog I really put a focus on a healthy work environment, healthy study mentality and taking good care of your mental health while having fun with learning.

I hope with my blog to share some passion about learning and also show that you absolutely don’t have to be perfect, to take care of your wellbeing and to just have a good time!

From the perspective of a…

Psychologist: “our core needs are to be loved, seen, heard, and validated.”

Sociologist: “our core needs are to belong to something, to have a community & a social identity.”

Criminologist: “our core needs are defined by psychology and sociology.”

Doctor: “our core needs are to be healthy mentally, physically, and spiritually.”

STEM Majors: “we have needs?”

Day 1 of my PhD!

Feeling overwhelmed, out of my depth, but incredibly ready.

2nd October 2024

Unlike many others, I returned to the same university this week to begin my PhD. I was very fortunate to find a supervisor during my undergraduate dissertation who shared my research interests and then agreed to be my PhD supervisor. I already know that the staff at my university are great, and I can't wait to work with them over these next few years.

Although I had to sit through a lot of repeated information, such as a 40 minute talk on the university library (the same library I have been using for the past 3 years), we were given the opportunity in the morning to meet our fellow PhD-starters. I found the only other starter in my school and met others in different disciplines - luckily, everyone seemed as nervous as each other!

After a talk from the chair of the research board and the postgraduate research rep, we were invited to have a walk around campus. I went and collected my fancy new PhD ID badge and started the process to get my staff ID card (crazy!) before making my way over to the staff offices building. After 3 years of being locked out of certain buildings with my undergraduate card, I now have access to every building! Unbeknownst to me, research students are allotted an entire floor of the staff offices building to use as our own (it even has a kitchen!!!) - after 3 years, I didn't think I could discover anything new about this university!

Myself and the other new starter then met with our head of school, supervisors, and programme lead to have a chat about expectations and to have any questions answered. Having graduated only last month, there were less introductions for me and more catch ups... It was all very chill and lovely; I doubt I could've found a nicer group of academics.

I have my first supervision meeting scheduled for two weeks away and I'm working on a couple other research projects in the meantime. We had a lot of information thrown our way but I left feeling happy, assured, and (oddly) ready. Even on day one, it feels different to undergraduate. No longer a student in lessons, but a researcher alongside the senior academics. I'm (perhaps cautiously) optimistic about what's ahead for me, but right now? Right now, it feels great.

The reality of going away in the second week of semester…

Me and my sister found this beautiful coffee shop to have breakfast at and then heading back to our room to frantically try and squeeze in all our readings before the Harry concert.

It was so nice to study with her for once! We live in different cities so never see each other and she’s just started at uni so is learning to study in a whole new way which is very exciting.

im about to take my first intro to criminal justice class, do you have any tips or things I should know?

-a brand new first year uni student

hi! tysm for the ask! :)

i hope you enjoy the class - criminology can be really interesting and you'll learn a *lot* that'll change ur whole perspective on things!!

in terms of tips:

keep in mind that the content can be kind of heavy sometimes, so don't be ashamed to excuse urself from class or to take a break from studying!! we have a case study for every class and it can be really upsetting to hear things outside the safe theoretical classroom lens.

but also, finding real life examples can make some of the less interesting topics more engaging so... it's a double edged sword i think ...

come to class prepared bc i found that the discussions in my criminology classes are some of the most interesting !! people often have very contrasting opinions (especially when it comes to things like the death penalty, punitivism, and differences in sentencing for men vs women) !!

read / watch around the subject!! some recs: gang leader for a day, on the run (alice goffman), convicts with cameras, & puppies for prisoners !!

i hope u enjoy the class!! :)

Some photos from uni yesterday!

One of my favourite things is the drive into uni when I get to see the building over the horizon and it hits that I'm actually a university student!

That may not seem like a big deal to some, but for someone who has struggled with their mental health and actually dropped out of 6th form, I still get a little overwhelmed when I see the uni building 🎓

I'm in a different building next year and one of the things I'll miss the most (aside from the view on the drive in) is the subway we have on campus. I've had so many chicken tikka wraps! Yes I'm basic and I just have it with cheese 🧀

Good afternoon! Back with some pink notes 🩷 these are my absolute essentials for notes!!
