How to Conduct a Close Read by academiix

Summarized from a guide by BCCC Tutoring Center

While it seems tedious and is not always asked for by professors, close reading can tremendously help down the road when it comes to writing papers for those classes.

Real talk tips for studying

1. Get up early.

I know, it’s easier said than done. But it is going to be hard for the first 15-20 minutes, maybe even the first hour, but make yourself some coffee, and get the fuck out of that bed.

2. Do 3 useful things right after you get up.

This doesn’t have to be ‘cram one lesson’ or ‘take 500 pages of notes’. No. Brush your teeth, make yourself something nice to drink, comb your hair. Wash your face. Literally whatever you find useful, do it. It may take 10 minutes, but you will feel instantly better when you see you’ve done something.

3. Organize your study space.

I don’t mean organize all your highlighters by color. I mean arrange everything so it is within your reach. That means when you sit down to finally study, there won’t be any need for you to get up and get something.

4. Take breaks.

It’s easy to start scrolling through instagram, or facebook when you sit by a 200 page book. Trust me on this. But set an alarm when you plan on taking a break. Make the break your instagram time, or facebook time, or just chill time. Whatever you do, organize your time so you don’t leave anything out.

5. Divide your shit.

So you have a 300 page chapter to read. Or a 30 page paper to write. Divide it into smaller parts. For example, I will read through the first 30 pages and then take a break. Repeat. Or, I will write 3 pages and then relax. Repeat. Literally whatever shit you have, divide it into smaller chunks and then just tackle the chunks.

6. Don’t listen to music with lyrics.

There are a ton of ‘study music’ or ‘motivational music’ playlists on Youtube. Blast that. That way, you won’t find yourself mouthing the perfect lyrics to Shape of you, and not knowing shit about what you’ve been reading. I’ve been there one too many times and it’s just wasting time.

7. Don’t feel bad about not responding to texts, or not hanging out with friends.

There is time to study and time to play. No between. By all means you should go out and have fun. But your work time can only be your work time. That text can wait, that coffee date can wait. During the break you will have more than enough time to catch up. And your friends should understand that, after all, this is important to you so it should be for them too.

8. Drink water! ! !

This is the most used tip, but trust me, you get tired much quicker if you’re not hydrated. Get a nice ass bottle of water and fill that shit up. Everytime you finish a paragraph take a sip. (At least!)

9. Don’t worry too much.

I’ve lost countless hours by panicking and trying to reason with myself why I should just quit. And let me tell you, it’s very easy to get stuck in that vicious circle. But when you begin to worry, take a deep breath, drink some water and just do. Read that sentence. Write the opening line to your paper. Underline that unknown word. Just do. It will not go in vain. No effort is ever useless.

10. Relax.

You are not the first one to have trouble with this. You are not the only one struggling with this material. But you can do it. It is possible. In 10 years you won’t remember that godawful task or chapter. But you will remember taking shit into your hands. And that feeling when you accomplish your goal is going to be worth all the while.

That’s about it, worked for me. Just be real with yourself. Good luck and may the odds be ever in you favor!

detailed french study method

this is centered around the 625 most common french words, but you could implement this same system with any vocabulary count and theme.

as you know well by now, french has been a struggle for me, because I could never seem to retain the information I needed to, and grasping for words while communicating with others was far too dull.

towards the end of january this year, I wondered if starting back at the beginning might be most beneficial for me, so i grabbed a 625 common words list from Fluent Forever and got to work.

all I did was copy that list into a spreadsheet…

…and add an extra column for each row so that I could have the french translations beside the english words.

that was the easy part!

So I’m sure you guys have noticed that I have been particularly absent from making original posts and just this blog in general. Firstly, I would like to apologize. This semester has been crazy and there has been a lot of ups and downs but do not worry. I am working my way back and think I am finally ready to come back.

This post, as the banner alludes, is on mental health in college. During the semester, it is easy to become stressed and overwhelmed which often leads to us forgetting to look after our own self. What is important to remember is that you are the most important person in your life. Friends can wait, school can wait, everything can wait. You cannot. You need to make sure that you are taking care of yourself. Below are some of my best tips on how I look after my own mental health as someone who struggles with anxiety and depression

Do your best. Doing your best does not mean working yourself to a breakdown. Doing your best does not mean making sure everyone around you is happy with you. Somedays, doing your best means going to all of your classes or even just getting out of bed. Yes, we all want good grades; however, mental health should always come first. Do not work yourself to the point of breakdown. Take a step back, relax, read a book, watch a movie/TV show. Take an hour, a day, a weekend. Whatever you need. Your grades will be fine. Your books and notes will still be here. But we all need you to be here with us in your best state possible.

Take care of yourself. Here is one thing that is very easy to forget when you are in college. Make sure you sleep enough. For the love of God, please sleep. I’m not going to tell you I expect 8 hours a night. But try to get as close to 8 hours a night as possible. It’ll help, trust me. Also! Go to the gym, work out, get those endorphins. Wash your face, take a shower, put on clean clothes, do your hair/makeup. Sometimes, the simple act of taking care can make you feel infinitely better.

Prioritize. If you are feeling overwhelmed stop, take a breath, and figure out what needs to get done. It’ll help you get a lot done without feeling completely helpless or like you will never catch up. Below is a link to a post I found the other day that I think will help you guys out.

https://vivianastudies.tumblr.com/post/182501820399/how-to-handle-having-too-much-to-do

Self-Care Nights. First off, as long as you are not hurting yourself or others, there is no wrong way to do a self-care night. Sometimes it’s being surrounded by friends and doing something fun. Other times, it’s an individual thing where you order pizza, take a shower, and binge-watching a TV series in your PJs. It can even be ugly crying if that’s what you need. The goal of self-care nights is not to fit Instagram aesthetics or to be picture perfect. The goal is to give you what you need. At the end of the night, you should feel better. Put up the homework, stay off social media, and think about yourself. Figure out what you need and go for it. You deserve it and trust me, everything will be just fine.

Other Resources. Below are some other online resources that I found that might come in handy:

What about a Bullet Journal dedicated to language learning?

New post today! YAAAAY, I missed blogging sooooo much but I came back home to visit my parents. You guys know, if you follow me on Instagram too, that I looooove the Bullet Journal method, I use it every day for my studies and right now for work too. So why not creating a new bullet journal only dedicated to language learning? Here’s what are the possible useful spreads I will create in the near future:

Yearly log: probably a vertical spread and for each month I will list the goals I want to reach in each language

Monthly log: a classic monthly log but with the days in the middle, on the left side I will list what are my daily goals and on the other one I will write what I actually did

Monthly tracker: for each day I’ll track how many hours or minutes I’ll spend for each language (color coding needed)

Level 10 fluency: for each language, I will list how much I feel fluent in each category (reading, writing, speaking, listening) from 1 to 10

Resources log: for each language, I will dedicate one page in order to list all the resources I use or I have in store and I’ll also track for which field it’s useful

Textbooks collection: for each language, I will list the textbooks, both physical and digital, I have

Lag-podcasts collection: a list dedicated to languages podcasts I listen to and I will discover

Favorite Tumblr masterposts: you know that here on Tumblr there are tons and tons of very useful masterposts, so why not creating a collection for them in order to always remember them?

What I learned this month: as the last page for one month, it would be nice to keep track of what you studied and understood

Website/Blog collection: I follow too many interesting blogs and sometimes I can’t even remember their names, this collection would be teeeeerribly useful for me

Fluency tracker: let this Pinterest pic speak for me

So guys what do you think about this idea? Would you like to see the #langbujo in a new article as soon as I will complete some pages and some spreads? Stay tuned!!

Friendly reminder - you’re not a full time professional athlete. you’re not a fashion icon. you’re not supposed to be perfect. Shitty grades happen and it doesn’t mean you’re not smart. So if you’re trying to balance studying, working, volunteering, exercising, learning languages, and expect to be a perfect multilingual Victoria Secret model with straight As, a job, and volunteer time, as well as being a good friend and making time for yourself, you’re gonna have a massive breakdown and fail. You don’t have to be perfect. Navigating into academia is hard. Nobody is asking you to be perfect. Results matter, sure, but effort is important and valuable as well. You’re learning.

entraindstudy-deactivated201901

Hey! so i just created my very first studygram (shameless self promo @decafstudy follow me) and one of my irl friends saw my stories and posts and asked “How many hours does your day have? ´cause mine only has 24″ and that got me thinking abt how i take the most advantage of my days to make them feel (or look) 48 hours long! Here are a few of the things I incorporate on my daily student life to be more productive!

• IF YOUR FIRST CLASS STARTS LATE IN THE MORNING WAKE UP 2 HOURS EARLIER THAN NEEDED i know, am i crazy? ok so here´s the deal. If your first class starts, let´s say, at 11:00 A.M you might be tempted to wake up at 10:00 A.M, get dressed, and head to school. Not only does this create bad habits for when you get assigned a 7:00 A.M class (which will happen) but you lose MANY HOURS OF PRECIOUS TIME. Get your 8-9 hours of sleep and do not let yourself wake up later than needed. My class sometimes starts at 11:30 A.M so i wake up at 8:00 have a nice morning, relax, work out a bit, light up a candle and get ahead on reading and work for school! Your day will start and feel more productive!

• NEVER LEAVE CLASS WITH A DOUBT ON YOUR MIND I know this might create anxiety for people who are shy and do not like asking questions during class (i am one of those people) If you feel just too scared to ask during class APPROACH THE TEACHER AFTER CLASS ENDS. as soon as he dismisses class, approach him and ask the question. If you are not able to do so DO NOT STRESS, BUT WRITE THAT QUESTION DOWN ASAP ON A POST IT AND STICK IT YOUR NOTEBOOK. that way you will have the question at hand and you can seek tutoring later and ask, or even ask a friend BUT NEVER LET A QUESTION GO, NEVER think “i will ask it later” BECAUSE YOU WON´T and IT WILL DOOM YOU. This will save so much time when you study, because all your questions will be at hand and you will know what you have to focus on studying.

• WHENEVER YOU HAVE FREE TIME, USE IT TO WORK WHILE DOING SOMETHING FUN instead of just diving head first into watching a movie, ask yourself if there is something more productive that you could be doing rn (reading ahead, reviewing, doing extra math exercises) if the answer is yes, then put that movie on mute and work while taking a peek at the movie ever once in a while. This will not only help you with discipline and learning to keep yourself from distractions, but it will occupy your free time in something that your future self will thank you for later on.

• NEVER ASSUME THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT LATER again, think in terms of your FUTURE SELF how much would your future self love it if instead of studying 3 days before the exam, you studied a week before it? How much would your future self love it of instead of reading until 12:00 PM tomorrow, you divided the reading between today and tomorrow? never assume that you will have spare time ahead because chances are that you won´t and you will end up with A BUNCH of work that you didn´t do and that you can´t do at the moment. FUTURE SELF THINKING has saved my life.

• LEAVE TIME OPEN FOR MENTAL HEALTH/PHYSICAL/RECREATIVE CARE as much as i always put work first, I KEEP MY THERAPIST VISIT AND MY GYM ROUTINE STABLE no matter how much work i have. This helps me feel more balanced and like i am on top of everything, not just school, feeling good=more productivity.

• POMODORO TECHNIQUE i know many people know about this but if you don´t, this is basically a studying technique in which you work or study for 25-30 minutes straight NO DISTRACTIONS and then have a 5-6 minute break, and then repeat the process as many hours as you need. This really helps me not get burnt out when I have a heavy load of work. Watching study with me videos on yt is a good way of keeping the pomodoro system going. Some good apps that I use for POMODORO are Forest and Tide.

• HAVE AN APP CARPET ON YOUR PHONE THAT IS CALLED “PRODUCTIVITY” ie. download a BUNCH of cute as hell apps that help you get motivated and organised when you look at them. This will make you more prone to look at your phone as an INSTRUMENT rather than a DISTRACTION. (my fave apps are Taskade, Forest, Tide, Brainscape and Pocket)

• Lastly, GET MOTIVATED i know this sounds cliché, but the reason why i love keeping my day busy is because i surround myself with a romanticised idea of studying. Doing these kinds of posts, following a bunch of accounts with pretty notes, having a clean room and desk, going to the library and appreciating the color scheme or sounds around you, listening to relaxing sounds or music while working, downloading many pretty apps to keep myself on track while having a cute aesthetic… all of these things might seem small, but they make you feel cleaner, more balanced and more prone to LIKING the work you do.

Anyways i know most of you already do these cause yall are on top of your game alllll the tiiiiime girl, but if any of these helps, ill be very happy!

French verbs list

Here you can find 681 French verbs. I’m considering using this as a base to make similar lists of Russian and Ukrainian verbs (maybe Polish too if someone’s interested) but it will take some time to finish so stay tuned.

disclaimer #1: those are not inherently my ideas. when I created this list for my bullet journal I scrolled through tumblr and wrote down everything that might work for me too. the idea to organize them that way is not mine either.

disclaimer #2: what works for me might not work for you. this is just the typed out version of my list in my bujo. if something on it is not applicable to you, maybe you can come up with something similiar in effect that is?

disclaimer #3: browsing the book store for me means also talking to my coworkers, bc I work at said book store. that’s why it’s under companionship. same goes for the cafe, bc I used to work there.

Remember we can’t be perfect and it’s okay if you need a break. Take some time to do some self care and come back when you are ready. And as always, if you need to talk about ANYTHING, feel free to message me.

How to Never Fall Behind in Classes

Alternatively titled: How to Use Your Planner or How Organization and Discipline Will Get You Better Grades

This is my full guide on how to use your planner effectively and make sure that you are never missing deadlines or falling behind in classwork and homework. This is definitely more about the university level and works best with a dated planner, rather than a bullet journal. Let’s get started!

Get all of your syllabi together and write down dates. Go through one class at a time and mark down all of your major tests and assignment due dates. I recommend putting these dates into the monthly and weekly views, and perhaps coming up with a symbol or other indicator that tells you they are of utmost importance.

Make a weekly schedule of when to complete readings and do a weekly review of notes. Instead of trying to randomly decide when to do these things, assign a date for each task for each class. If you have a tutorial on Tuesday, do the assigned readings for it every Wednesday. I recommend scheduling one to two weekly tasks per day, and to leave a few days open, whether it be weekends or days when you have a lot of classes.

Make a master list of assignments. I find that sometimes, even having due dates in the calendar view isn’t enough, and they can still sneak up on you. The master list will be a good place to double check if you have any deadlines approaching easily.

In the week or so before a due date, create a checklist of smaller tasks needed to complete the assignment. Set individual due dates for each smaller task by working backwards from the due date. Smaller tasks may include finding sources, making an outline, writing a rough draft, and editing and adding references to create a final copy. Write the smaller tasks into your daily to-do list.

You can also do this with studying for tests, but the checklist would look slightly different. You could either sort by study method (first do flashcards, then do essay outlines, etc.) or sort by the topics you need to study.

Stick to the schedule you have made. Obviously, if something comes up and you need to move your to-do list around, do so! But if you aren’t doing anything and you see readings on your list of daily tasks.. do them. Having the plan set out like this makes it easier for you to remain disciplined.

Why use this method?

By creating a schedule for repeated weekly tasks like completing readings, you make sure that you can’t repeatedly push off smaller tasks until you are weeks behind. I don’t think it is very reliable to just will yourself to do readings, or to keep up with them without tracking it.

By writing down all of your due dates, you will never be shocked to find out something is due the night before. You will know and you will be prepared.

By creating smaller checklists of tasks to complete before a major test or assignment, you will never find yourself in a situation where you have an essay due in a few days and haven’t even started. You will be following a timeline and making sure you don’t have to rush.

I know this system may seem rigorous, but planning is the only way you can keep on top of your workload in university! Falling behind is a lot harder if you are organized and disciplined, and being on top of your workload will help you a lot when it comes to exam times… no cramming and all-nighters if you have been consistent all semester!
