Have a morning wake-up routine, meal times, relaxation, creativity time, time for self-reflection, time to shut off and rest.
2. Attend your professors’ virtual office hours.
I promise it will be worth your time.
In addition, attending office hours can help you:
- Get clarification on course content or assignment instructions, so you don’t sink into the quicksand of confusion
- Listen in on questions that your classmates ask—and get answers right away
If you’re looking to discuss topics that relate to you personally (e.g. deadline accommodations, grade disputes), consider emailing your instructors to schedule a 1-on-1.
Even if you don’t have any particular concerns, still attend when you can. You could:
- See if you’re able to respond to your classmates’ questions for an intellectual challenge/course recap
- Review the material from a different angle
Plus, your course instructor may notice how proactive you are, and you may be able to connect with them (mayyybe you’d like them to be your reference later on?).
3. Look at the pre-lecture materials.
Even if you only have 10 minutes, quickly review what major topics will be covered.
4. Find a study buddy or study group.
Connect virtually and test each other on the key concepts.
5. Manage your social media distractions while studying.
This can include hiding your phone in a far location. To temporarily deactivate your social media sites use SelfControl for Mac and Cold Turkey for Windows. For all devices, you can use RescueTime or Freedom for mobiles.
6. Ask for help.
Book an appointment with your academic advisor or student success coach. They can help you find the best study technique or how to manage your time better.
7. Use the Pomodoro Method to help improve your concentration and motivation.
8. Edit your notes daily and review your notes weekly.
Review your summary notes and remember it’s about processing what you wrote.
9. Don’t expect yourself to be perfect.
Keep trying new techniques until you find what works best.
Suni Lee nails this pass as is evidenced by that huge smile on her face!!! 😁her story is very, very inspiring and amazing. After taking home a medal in the last Olympics in Tokyo, she was diagnosed with two incurable forms of kidney disease. She was so sick that she was bedridden and gained 40 pounds. She thought that her gymnastics career was over. Thankfully, with help from her team doctor and support from her teammate and great friend, Simone Biles, she is in remission. She fought for her life, and she fought for her passion, gymnastics. They got her on the right meds, and she takes great care of herself so she has gotten better. She worked differently, and she worked hard to get back to gymnastics. I'm so happy that she's at the Olympics this year. She deserves to be there. She's a phenomenal athlete and an amazing person. Her story showed her that she can do anything. She's gonna win a medal. I just know it!!! She's already won the gold by getting better and getting back to gymnastics!! I'm so proud of what you've done, Suni!!! Let's go, Suni!! Let's go, USA!!! ❤️🤍💙
i know that a majority of the characters in aftg with visible scars and injuries don’t necessarily have permanent or chronic injuries but it’s a nice change of pace to see fan art depict injuries and scars across the board. comics really shy away from characters being visibly hurt for longer than the story “requires” or showing past physical trauma outside of one off moments and it’s especially wild that characters so reliant on physical fitness aren’t regularly depicted with tools to aid in the upkeep of that. both in canon and in fanon??? for something with a plot as outlandish as cape comics it’s so refreshing to see scars and kt tape and braces be a mainstay in aftg fanwork. love u recovery devices. love u body maintenance tools. love u sports medicine
i know it’s a small sample size but i’m feeling pretty good about the Ms ever since the Arozarena trade
we’ve scored 6 or more runs in 7 of our last 9 games. yeah, 3 of those were against the White Sox - so what? Thorpe, Fedde, and Crochet tore through us back in June but we managed to get to all three of them this time. we dropped the Boston series but 99% of the time we win a game we score 7 runs in, especially if Logan’s pitching. and we won the Phillies series; even in a slump they’re still one of the best teams in the league. would’ve liked the sweep but Wheeler is good, man.
just feels like the tables have turned enough to where absolutely anemic offense is the exception rather than the rule. we’re averaging a little over 6 runs a game over the last 9 and that’s including yesterday’s shutout. even if we cool off a bit and settle into averaging 4-5 - that’s better than the 3.4 we averaged between June 18-July 24 (June 18 was the first game after the home sweep of the Rangers, when we were 10 games up; July 24 was the final game of the home Angels series where we were swept). we lost 20 of 30 games in that span. scoring 5 runs would’ve won us 10 of those (and would’ve at least tied it up in 5 other games)
and. even with that abysmal month and a half? we still have the division lead. we’re fighting like hell for it now, which is much more nerve-wracking than that 10-game lead, but we’re absolutely in it, AND we definitely improved more at the deadline than the Astros and the Rangers.
maybe this is all temporary and the offense dies again. maybe we do what we did last season and we have a hot August and then roll over and die in September and miss the postseason completely. who knows! but, god, this team. i want to hope so badly. and it feels like they’re giving me a reason to.
Connor loved hockey. It had been his escape after his mother passed. It gave him a way to work out his anger and grief. A way to avoid his father, and the looming family business when everything became too much. When the world was pressing down on him.
Hockey carried him through childhood to high school and even college. But the sport was never meant to be his future. Actually, he was meant to go to medical school and become a trauma surgeon.
But all those plans came to a screeching halt when he was unexpectedly drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks. Now he was at a crossroads.
He could continue with his plans to go to medical school. Or he go with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and play a sport that had given him so much, professionally.
One thing was for sure. Med school could wait. It would always be there. Hockey wouldn't.
Honestly I blame the manga for not really paying much attention to the very obvious issues he has for Natsuo being sidelined so easily. Like the boy clearly has some mental health problems that i know people would eat up in any other situation, and I think his reaction to Endeavor and Touya's death leaves a lot of open ends for how he grows up after that in fics. Also, the trope of looking like someone you despise?? Full of angst potential
i have suchhhhh an issue with how horikoshi had natsuo react to the dabi reveal. like natsuo rejects endeavour for a lot of reasons but the one he's most vocal about is bc of what endeavour did to touya and the only and first time in his entire life that he's willing to ally with endeavor is... when touya reveals himself to actually be alive. what. he would not fucking say that
