december 29, 2023 // have i started bringing reading socks to the library? i might. 💻🌱🩰

(University fundings never seem to be enough to turn the heating on higher than 19 degrees Celcius (66° F) and also, I'm shameless. Being a student for this many years will do that do you.)

Finally finished reading one of the papers on the (mental) stack that I still have to leaf through. Struggling a lot with keeping my motivation and discipline up these days. Peeling my eyes off whatever else they found and throwing them back at the pages in hope they'll stick is hard work and at this point I do not understand why exactly. Here's to hoping it will (and working on it in order to) get better.

˖⁺‧₊˚✦ ways to make your laptop aesthetic feat. some extensions, websites & apps for students

i created this cause i found some time to finally upgrade and properly personalise my laptop, it took me almost an entire day watching youtube videos, researching for these and setting them up. so... i'm basically posting this for myself lol, but i also feel like sharing cause these are actually really good hehe

i'm using a windows laptop but i think most of these should work on mac too. most of these are free but there are maybe like less than five that require to be paid.

those that are marked with an asterisk (*) are the ones that i'm currently using while others are recommended or alternatives!

here is what my home screen looks like now:

i. screen saver

fliqlo (ios & win) * flipit (win, an inspired & alt ver of ^) flix clock (mac & web, paid ver comes with colours other than black) aura gradient clock (mac & web) retro anime desk clock (mac) flocus (web) * studywithme (web) note: remember to right-click the file and select "install", then ensure that the wait time (e.g: 5 mins) is less than your "turn off your screen" and "put my device to sleep after" (e.g: both 15 mins) in power settings

ii. tab themes

kluk: a clock tab theme * angry study helper: a tab theme that gets angy at u whenever u open a new tab gratitutab: a minimalistic tab theme that works as a to-do list prioritab: a tab theme that shows priorities that u had set for the day, week, and month

iii. extensions

tldr this: summarizes long docs, websites, articles, etc. with just a click * paperpanda: download research papers by clicking on it, it searches on domains like google scholar, semanticscholar, aodoi, and more * coffeelings: mainly a mood tracker that also saves mini journal entries colorzilla: an eyedropper colour picker * whatfont: click on it and hover on any text to show what font it is * mybib: an apa, mla, harvard, and more styles citation generator * read aloud: a tts reader that supports more than 40+ languages * notion web clipper: creates a website into a bookmark into notion * noisli: lets u listen to relaxing playlist while u study/work

iv. websites

lofi.cafe i miss the office i miss my cafe i miss my bar i miss my library a soft murmur patatap tomato timers animedoro lifeat coolors blush designs untools fontjoy zenpen decision maker museum of endangered sounds future me

v. apps

virtual cottage chill corner notion *

vi. rainmeter skins

mond * lano visualizer amatical * small clean weather animated * ageo sonder * cloudy harmattan note: if you're new to rainmeter, it can be a bit overwhelming, u may check out this short and simple tutorial on it, make sure to read the instructions if you're using complicated skins like weather (may require u to edit in txt), i also highly rec watching techrifle's videos

vii. misc.

wallpaper engine * (highly rec getting from chillhop) my live wallpaper (free alt of ^) translucenttb * roundedtb note: u can disable your shortcut icons to be invisible by right-clicking on your home screen, go to "view", and untick "show desktop icons", this is optional and i would always enable it whenever i'm working and gaming for easier access, i also set the icons to small

School is very busy but so far my classes are a lot of fun!

Neurodevelopment is quite hard but it is a very nice challenge for me

On another note, my Fliqlo screensaver on my MacBook doesn’t work anymore 😭 is there anyone else having problems with it??

17/11/19 • minimalist studyblr challenge day 2 of week 1 // my study essentials - under 5 items. 

my laptop (macbook pro mid-2012, i lol when people call their macbooks from 2015 old. it’s really really heavy and doesn’t have a great battery life, but i really don’t want to get rid of this bc i managed to get photoshop and lightroom for free way back when. recently adobe has really cracked down on that shit so i don’t think i’d be able to do it again and ya girl cannot pay a monthly subscription fee for that)

water bottle (32oz hydroflask with some stickers! all i ever drink is water and the occasional alcoholic beverage so i am never not without my water bottle. my friend once told me if he’s looking for me he’ll just look for the bright yellow water bottle lol)

planner (passion planner that i won in a giveaway, super happy to have the smol size back and in my favorite color blue too! writing all my to do’s down and tracking what i have done is really helpful for managing my workload and my anxiety, bc if i don’t then i just feel frazzled)

mouse (i lowkey think i’m getting carpal tunnel or arthritis or something like that and i’m gonna make a doctor’s appointment to get it checked out tmrw. honestly i’ve gone to my doctor before but i have a tendency to underrepresent the pain/problems i feel and just say it’s ok bc i don’t want to be a bother... anyway i think a mouse is a lil easier on ye olde handes instead of my laptop trackpad)

and earphones (not pictured bc were in my ears at the time of this photo. i took this a couple days ago in the library and i had a killer headache so i was probably listening to a binaural beats playlist on spotify, that stuff really does help with relieving headaches)

After a shitty cardiac surgery rotation in which I learned nothing, I’m now deep in my ortho/trauma rotation, which is being quite uneventful and that is giving me time to arrive home early and struggle with my dissertation. I have only 8 weeks of rotations ahead, and then I’ll be done with med school. Can you believe that????? Which doesn’t mean the hardest part is over 😂😂

Trying out different angles. Today I ventured out of the library and decided to take a seat in the coffee shop literally across the hall from it. We’re nearing the end of week 3 and I’m slowly but surely getting a system down of how to review and study. Since UK lectures are a week apart instead of the US way of having classes 2-3 a week, I really have to be proactive about making sure I make use of my time out of classrooms to review. It’s a learning process but I think I’m slowly getting there!
