so if in the soulmate au the very first words your soulmate ever says to you are tattooed somewhere on your body since the day you are born imagine having something like ‘man I cant believe dumbledore died’ tattooed on you. imagine being spoiled for a book series that doesnt even exist yet. imagine worrying about this dumbledore guy your whole childhood while not knowing who he is. imagine knowing dumbledore dies before jk rowling even thinks about it.

[adramofpoison]

Everybody go home, this is my favorite soulmate au

[littlelions101]

So you finally find your soulmate. After years of knowing that dumbledore dies and the entire franchise being ruined, you find him. You’re in the theatre, dumbledore is dead and you hear it. ‘Man I can’t believe dumbledore died’ by a guy walking right by you and in you’re rage you shout ‘You! You’re the one!’ The guy stops, looks at you, his own arm to read the words, then back at you and he says, “That’s not really how I imagined that being said”

How I Format and Use Flashcards

1.  Less is More: no need for a paragraph to define a term, choose the simplest and most efficient one. Also, don’t include common sense things or things you know by heart, you’ll waste time and space by writing them down.

2. Sketch it Out: Sketches can be helpful in allowing you to visualize the term/concept. 

3. Say it Out Loud: When reviewing through the cards, try and say the definition out loud. It will require you to think about it more, and it also helps with memorization. If I try and define a term in my head I usually speed through it and leave something out. 

4. Write them as you go: Don’t sit down right before finals and try and write down every term/definition from the course. It takes forever and you will kill your hand. As you finish a chapter in the course finish that set of flashcards. You will thank yourself later. 

5. Repetition: I go through my flashcards before a test maybe a thousand times (exaggeration but very close). Remember to focus on the harder ones, you’ll most likely remember the easier ones during the test. 

Here is my method:

Round 1: Go through every single card. Don’t set any aside. I usually don’t know a majority of the terms at this point, I most likely just finished writing them down.

Round 2: Go through every card again, this time setting aside ones I didn’t know or had trouble with.

Round 3: Go through the harder ones I missed.

Round 4: Add the harder ones back in with the original and shuffle.

Round 5: Go through them all and repeat the process until pleased!

A guide to the Cornell Note-taking System

(As per anon’s request)

[vanesastudies]

Why use a computer? Is it useful for me?

I suffer from attention problems and learning disabilities. Writing things on paper is not suitable for my thought process. Rather, I jump around and write different things at a time, then continue a previous thought process. On paper, this might involve a lot of erasing, re-writing, and arrows, and I end up with a very difficult-to-navigate mess. Typing it out allows me to write out my thoughts while maintaining a sense of coherency.

It’s very fast once you get going. With a good typing speed, knowledge of keyboard shortcuts, and a relatively fast computer, it’s a lot faster and easier to format than writing things down. 

As a very visual/artistic person, I spend a lot of time trying to make my notes and handwriting neat. I also can spend a lot of time drawing diagrams, especially studying biology. On a computer, I can easily create tables and copy and paste diagrams (or sometimes create diagrams) with little effort.

These are just my personal reasons, and if you can relate, I highly suggest trying to use a computer. It’s important to have proficiency in computers, so you can Google tutorials, take a class, or ask around. This guide assumes you have reasonable proficiency in computers.

Note-Taking

OneNote is my program of choice due to its versatility and automating syncing across many devices. Here is my post on using OneNote for university. 

Evernote is also a great note-taking program and comes with a built-in document scanner camera which I frequently use. 

OpenOffice is a free alternative writing program very similar to Microsoft Office.

Notability

Notepad++ (for coding)

Organization & Time Management

Google Calendar / Google Keep

iCalendar

Habitica

Todoist

Lanes

Study & Projects

Anki

Quizlet

paint.NET

Prezi

Icecream Apps

Audacity

Mind Maps

Bubbl.us

XMind

Freemind

Research

Bibme

Google Scholar

If your university/institution offers a paid research citation program for free (Mendeley, Refworks, EndNote, etc.), use it. Otherwise you can use a spreadsheet program like Excel.

Take advantage of study playlists / ambient sounds.

Use online resources.

Your teacher may discourage against Wikipedia, but use it to gain a broad overview of a topic you may be unfamiliar about and check its sources when doing research.

Learn keyboard shortcuts. If you’re going to be typing a lot, you can save yourself a lot of time by memorizing certain keyboard shortcuts.

The very basics you should learn is Ctrl+C / Cmd+C for copy, Ctrl+V / Cmd+V for paste, Ctrl+X / Cmd+X for cut, and Ctrl+A for selecting all text. 

In browsers, Ctrl+W / Cmd+W closes a tab, Ctrl+T / Cmd+T opens a new tab, Ctrl+Shift+T opens a previously closed tab.

In Windows, Alt+F4 closes a program and Alt+Tab switches through your open tabs.

In many text-editing programs Ctrl+B / Cmd+B is to bold text, Ctrl+I / Cmd+I is to italicize text, Ctrl+U / Cmd+U is to underline text, Ctrl+- is to strikethrough text, Ctrl+Shift++ superscripts text, and Ctrl++ subscripts text. 

Look it up in your program/OS, as each has its own set of keyboard shortcuts.

Google efficiently. Here is an article about Google tips for students.

Sync across multiple devices. Use software that is available online and across multiple platforms to sync files on your laptop, on your phone, and online. 

Symbols can be tedious to copy-and-paste if they cannot be typed on a keyboard. If you have a numpad, on Windows you can memorize certain codes to quickly type symbols. On Word, under Insert > Symbols, you can find symbols and recently-used symbols to insert. However, I suggest in work that requires a lot of symbols (mathematics and physics, chemistry, computer science, etc.) handwriting in this case is the superior option.

Use a drawing tablet (personally, I use Wacom and it has lasted me years) or a tablet with a pen such as the Apple Pencil or Microsoft Surface to handwrite notes in programs and back them up automatically. Of course, these require money and it’s up to you if it’s worth the investment. 

Limit yourself to certain symbols based on what your keyboard provides for you.

Instead of an arrow symbol, I use a dash and a less than or greater than symbol like -> or <-.

Instead of a degrees symbol, I use a superscript o.

Write a placeholder for symbols (such as (d) for delta) and replace with symbols after taking notes.

Cut the distractions. The biggest fault I find when using a computer for school is the endless possibility for distraction. Here are some programs that help you with focus:

Create an alternate account on your computer that doesn’t have administrator privileges purely for study. This can limit your access on the computer and hopefully to distracting programs.

StayFocusd on Chrome to block distracting websites after a certain allowed time. (Protip: enable it in incognito mode and block “chrome://extensions” to prevent temptation to circumvent it.)

Cold Turkey (PC) / Self-Control (Mac) to block distracting programs and websites.

Ommwriter for writing in a distraction-free interface.

Written? Kitten! rewards you with a picture of a kitten for every 100 words you type.

10 Websites to Stop That Will Help You Stop Procrastinating For Good

Health

Do not stare at the screen for too long and right before bedtime. Computer screens disrupt your sleeping cycles. Turn off your computer 1 - 2 hours before you go to sleep.

Change your writing program background to a pale colour, rather than white.

Use f.lux, which changes the blue-light of your computer screen to orange light.

Stop staring at your screen and take a break from it. 

Suffering from Carpal tunnel? Look at these exercises.

For your mental health, it’s best to avoid too many news sites and constantly browsing social media. It’s very easy to get caught up in world tragedies and drama, and Tumblr is not the best environment.

Create a separate account for your studyblr and only follow other studyblrs, keeping your dashboard clean and motivating you to do work if you get distracted!

Visit my #anxiety or #depression tags for resources on coping with the respective illnesses. 

Maintain your computer’s health.

Physically: Keep it on hard, flat surfaces as much as possible and avoid keeping it on your bed for proper ventilation. Try to turn it off every night.

OS: Security-wise, ensure your data is backed up, encrypt your sensitive data, keep your passwords strong, and ensure you have an antivirus and firewall. + more basic security tips

My rule of thumb is that when my computer runs into a problem, it is more likely I will break my computer further by trying to fix it. Unless you absolutely know what you’re doing, take it to get repaired, whether at a Best Buy/GeekSquad, Apple/Genius Bar, computer mechanic, etc. Do not touch it and save yourself some grief.

Back up your files! I cannot stress the importance of backing up notes and assignments on a regular basis. It’s safe to use at least two or three methods of backup to ensure you won’t lost your files.

Email attachments to yourself. Depending on your storage space for your email, this could be very useful. Main advantages include it being very easy, universal, and the ability to sort versions of a document by data.

Use online services such as MediaFire. Mediafire comes with 10 GB free.

Sync your files.

Use Dropbox. You start with 2 GB and can earn more space on a free account, which is plenty for me for a semester of work. Dropbox syncs files across multiple devices. This works for most students aside for those working with large files, such as media studies.

Use Google Drive. Google Drive comes with 15 GB space free, which makes it more advantageous than Dropbox for free users. Furthermore, it comes with browser built-in text editor/spreadsheet tool/presentation tool that you can collaborate with others on. It’s a very useful tool for group projects.

Use OneDrive. You get 5 GB free and comes with every Microsoft Office copy.

Use physical means.

A USB key is very handy and portable, if easy to lose. I suggest tying it to a lanyard or attaching it with your keys. Put your name on it and email in case someone finds it.

Use a portable hard drive.

How I Use OneNote for University

Hey, all! I thought I’d share how I use OneNote, for any students who might want to use it for school organization. I have used this since the beginning of my university career and have found a method that works for me, after nearly three years.

I provide templates for what I use as .one files that can be imported into OneNote, and you’re free to use & modify them however you wish. 

Semester Calendar Template: Download (.one) / Download (.docx)

Customized Syllabus Template: Download (.one) / Download (.docx)

Cornell Outline Template: Download (.one) / Download (.docx)

+ Outline inspired by How to Use Cornell Cornell Note-Taking Method on OneNote by @strive-for-da-best​

+ How to insert templates + read if you’re on a Mac

(further information in my #OneNote tag)

As a student with learning disabilities, I found that using a computer, rather than writing everything out, is the best method for me to learn. I type up notes in class so as to not worry about keeping up with a professor, handwriting, or neatness. OneNote is my favourite note-taking application for this, because it’s essentially an upgraded version of Word that’s free and syncs automatically across devices. When my computer crashed, I was still able to access my notes online.

OneNote isn’t all typing. You can use it on a tablet or use a drawing tablet, in my case, to handwrite notes for a more natural feel. A very efficient way of taking notes is to import the lectures slides in OneNote and to write directly on them. I found that very useful in math-heavy courses, such as statistics and chemistry. The equation tool, while nifty, isn’t efficient.

By no means whatsoever is this the only way to use OneNote! In fact, I’d recommend you find a way that works for you, because while this may be highly organized, it takes a bit of set-up time and is tailored specifically to my needs. You can use my example as inspiration, but play around with it! The beauty of OneNote is that it can be used in a variety of different ways.
