Essential Productivity Apps for any student:

Caffeine-  Prevents your screen from going into sleep mode. Great if you’re writing notes on an article and the screen keeps dimming, whilst you hope that if you stare long enough, the phrase “homologous ways to a view of hegemony” will start to make sense.

Flux- If you find that you can’t sleep for ages after studying late at night, then this app is a total game changer. It basically turns the light on the screen red, because science people say that blue light keeps you awake and red light doesn’t. (*Full Disclosure* I’m not a scientist)

Focusbar- The annoying voice of your mother nagging you to finish your homework…in app form. You can set the annoying level (I have it set on “wildly annoying”) and a bar will appear in the corner every few seconds to remind you that you’re supposed to be doing something else besides looking at cat photos. 

Microsoft Office- self explanatory, so I’ve linked to an article about life hacks for Microsoft Office instead. Because I’m just that awesome. 

Nag- Does your 5 minute study break keep turning into an hour on Youtube? Then you need Nag in your life. It’s basically an alarm/timer. But an extremely loud and annoying alarm/timer that’s very difficult to ignore. The bells genuinely sound more judgemental the longer you ignore it.  

Self Control-  Also known as Cold Turkey for Microsoft users. If you absolutely cannot be trusted with an internet connection, then you need Self Control in your life. You add a list of websites to the “blacklist”and then set how long you want the app to work for, and for that duration of time you wont be able to access those website. Seriously, not even rebooting your computer or uninstalling the app will let you access the blacklist until your time is up. Tough love at its finest.

Zotero-  The new love of my life. Zotero allows you to manage all your citations and sources in one easy place. It’s an absolute life saver- no joke. There’s an in-word add in, so it will write your bibliography and citations for you in any format you want. There’s a chrome/firefox add in and a mobile app, so you don’t even have to type the citation into Zotero. Just press the button it does all the hard work for you. It even updates itself online, so you can still access your bibliography if your computer crashes. I <3 Zotero 5eva.

How to Find Some Fucking Money for College

Okay. So you found a fucking college. Yay. Hopefully you’ll be accepted. In the mean time, how the fuck you gonna pay for that? Once again, this advice is mainly for AMERICANS, because other lucky assholes in foreign countries get to go to college/university for next to nothing, since education in those places is, like, a basic right or something.

Now, unless you’re parents have some huge shit saved for you in stocks, bonds, savings account, or a 529 college plan, you’re going to need to find more money for college. Let’s just guesstimate that, at it’s cheapest, four years of college comes to about $100,000 ($25k/year) for public school. Gotta double that shit for our example private school, so $200,000 ($50k/year). There is no way on this green earth that you or your parents have that (assuming you’re not millionaires).

Additional notes for grad students: All of these search engines can be used for grad scholarships too. The Bill Gates scholarship can also be used if you’re in a STEM field. Plus, you are eligible for federal loans.

There is a difference between kissing someone because they are attractive and kissing someone because words can no longer accurately express your feelings for the person

hey friendos!! so i don’t know about you but i’m at about that time in the school year where i really start to feel the stress of harder classes and the pressure to do well. it can be very difficult to work past these sorts of feelings, esp when you’re your own worst critic. here are some situations i feel happen to even the best of us, and the resources i use to sleep a bit better at night ~

“i’m so tired and i just can’t concentrate on all this work i have due”

how many sleep cycles can i get through tonight?

how long should i nap for?

i just want a good night’s sleep for once

oh god there’s no way i’ll finish this essay in time

“i’m scared that i haven’t accomplished enough but i don’t know where to start”

what if colleges don’t grant me scholarships because i don’t have a 4.0 gpa / am not an athletic prodigy / didn’t find the cure for cancer?

i want to learn a language and not waste years of my life in a classroom to be able to talk like a second grader

what the f*** should i do with my life? 

where can i learn to code for free? 

“i’m having trouble handling my anxiety”

how can i calm down, and fast?

my friend is feeling very anxious and i don’t know what to say 

i need to get these negative thoughts out of my head

i want to listen to a rainstorm, the ocean waves, a coffee shop, and a crackling campfire all at once, in that order, in my bedroom

“i’m hungry and cranky and i haven’t showered for three days and i’m generally just a huge mess”

i need to get it together but i don’t know how to begin

burnout is actually ruining everything 

what are some nice things i can do for myself?

“i’m really stressed and sad and i need to work through my emotions”

i’m feeling sad / inadequate / worried and i just need some comfort

i just really need to vent

hope this helps!!! don’t hesitate to message me if you have any questions or requests for other masterposts :~) love y’all tons, take care of yourselves <3

Hi all! Grace here.

I am not yet studying Anatomy and probably won’t until next year, but I decided to look up sources relating to Anatomy and gather them here for future reference! I will be adding more to it as I find more. If you are currently studying Anatomy or already have, please let me know if there were sources you are using/did use that were/are helpful so I can add them! :)

Not only did I love her, but I could tell the universe loved her, too. More than others. She was different. After all; I would be a fool not to notice the way the sunshine played with her hair.

Tumblr is being ridiculous and making me change my password on this account but all of my emails attached to it are from 2011, when I started this blog. If you like my content, and wish to follow me still, please follow the link to my new blog. It’s in the works still but it’ll be up to my standard soon. Really sorry I’m a horrible adult and can’t keep track of emails.

This blog will be up for a while longer as I can still access it from my phone… But I think I will log out soon. While it’ll still be “active” (because I can’t log in to deactivate) there will no longer be activity.

In the mean time, I will be trying to follow everyone I’m currently following on my new blog… So if you’re super lazy and know we’re mutuals, you can just wait for me to follow you and follow me back. IDK. I’m very frustrated and have already tried to fix it by talking to tumblr staff.

I mean, I guess a new change wouldn’t hurt. There’s a lot that’s been put into this blog but every good thing must come to an end.
