a list of small study tips

these are small things you can add to your day to be 10% more productive with the estimated time it’ll take! these are things i do (or try to do) most days. they’re small enough to feel manageable, and i for sure don’t use all of them but i find that when i use at least 2-3 in a day i feel a lot better about the material.

retype notes in google docs (10-15 min/1 hour lecture)

Utilize pomodoro technique for at least one subject (25 min work/5 min break. total 30 min)

Look over notes before class (5 min)

Look over notes after class (5 min)

Make notecard summary after class (i find this one especially useful for calculus!) (10 min/notecard)

Explain short concept to a friend (10 min max)

write down to-do list of tasks (5 min)

Go over concepts in your head on your walk to class (absolute FAVORITE because of my daily calculus quizzes within the first 10 minutes of class) (as long as your walk is!)

i hope these are helpful, i need to learn more small tips myself too 😊

Am I wet? Am I on my period? Did I pee my pants?- next on wtf is going on down there.

[submissivefeminist]

I’m so glad this is a universal wondering among vagina-owners, haha.

[chaotichowlite]

‘Vagina-owners’

[anxiousnerd]

Tune in next time for: Are these menstrual cramps? Am I pregnant? Is it just gas? I wouldn’t have to ask these questions if I didn’t have a damn uterus

[sexylibrarian1]

Next week: Is it a bladder infection? An ovarian cyst? Do I have endometriosis? Oh God please do not let it be cervical cancer! A 20/20 special

[occupyvenus]

Y'all are forgetting the all-time classic: Is it just my period or is my appendix about to burst? Some nice tea and a heatpack or 911 and emergency surgery?

[phantoms-lair]

There is actually a test for that last one!

Place your hand over the pain, press down slightly and release. If the pain doesn’t change by any great margin, you’re fine. If it suddenly becomes some painful you can barely stand, Get thee to an Emergency Room

10 Tips for Managing Research Projects

Since writing my dissertation blog post, which you can read HERE, I wanted to share with you more tips that can help you write research projects while managing school work! Whether you’re in undergrad or doing post graduate research, these tips can help you to systematically work on projects that last over a longer period of time! 

Dedicate a notebook to your project. Like I mentioned in my dissertation blog post, I dedicated an entire notebook to jot down notes from relevant lectures, conference presentations, things I was reading at the time, meetings with my adviser, etc. You can also keep a research journal by making entries (add a date!) and writing everything that you did that day regarding your research project! It’s a great way to track progress too!  It helps to be organised, especially if you have to write up a report about it later.  

Have a plan. Having an outline of your project will help you to not get lost in the research forest of your topic! Yes, I’m using a tree metaphor to make a point… I know. During my dissertation writing process our thesis course instructor told us to look at our project topic like it’s a forest full of trees. Some of them are key in your research, i.e. you need to cover those theories, topics, etc. and some that are further away in the forest may relate to your topic but are not necessarily important! You will have to read a ton on your topic, so in order not to get lost, make an outline of key things you need to cover and then work from there. Having a plan/outline of your research project will help you focus to stay on track. It will also help break up the overwhelming project into smaller tasks that can be accomplished and you can adapt it along the way! 

Timelines. A timeline is easy to follow if you have a deadline of when your project is due. However, if you don’t have a set timeline, make one! You can break up all of the work that you need to do from your set up plan and set specific deadlines for tasks like gathering all of your reading resources one week, completing your background research and readings in two weeks, setting a deadline for when you would like your first draft to be done. Having these small deadlines will convince you to do work and make progress, it will also prevent you from procrastinating on Netflix. 

Just Google it. Sometimes if you get stuck on a question and you cannot find the necessary information in your reading materials, instead of bothering your professors/supervisors/advisers, just Google it! You can figure out a lot of things on your own by using Google. Particularly when it comes to statistics: how to report your data, how to use SPSS, which statistic to use when, etc. you can learn by Googling it and watching stats tutorials on YouTube! There are so many step-by-step guides out there and it takes only a couple of seconds to type out what you’re looking for in the Google search bar! 

Have the software/applications downloaded on your computer. There’s nothing more annoying than having to re-run a statistical analysis test on SPSS and realizing that you don’t have it with you and it’s after 10 pm and the computer labs on campus are closed until tomorrow… The solution is to have it downloaded on your computer so that you can access it whenever you need it! Google ways how you can get SPSS on your computer, I had it on mine and it was a life saver when I was writing my dissertation and needed to run a bunch of different statistical tests. For my master’s degree I will be using Python and MATLAB and I already have them downloaded on my mac! 

Schedule in time to do work. While planning out my week in my bullet journal, I would make sure that on days off I scheduled to work on my research projects. Having a weekly schedule helps you see when you have free time to work on your research projects, as often you will have to balance course work with research. 

Know when to ask for help. I would set up weekly meetings with my research adviser to check in and show my progress and also to have my questions answered! I would also ask for help if I was not able to find answers on Google! 

You will make mistakes. Looking back on my dissertation I already know the mistakes that I made. My experiment design was flawed but that’s ok. As humans our number one goal should be to learn and grow; therefore, the mistakes that we make during our research projects can turn out to be learned lessons and ensure that we will not make the same mistakes twice. 

Use an automatic citation program for references. There are programs out there that help you gather all of the research papers that you will use in your research project and automatically cite them for you. They also generate a bibliography/reference list and can cite in your preferred style (MLA, APA, etc.). They’re free to use and most popular ones are Zotero, Mendeley, Easybib, RefWorks, etc. 

Have some fire. The most important thing is that you’re passionate about your research project and have the motivation to sit down and do work. Make sure that the topic you’re researching is interesting to you. If you’re engaged with the content you’re reading about you will find the writing process a lot easier and more enjoyable! So have some fire and be unstoppable in your research endeavors! 

I hope these tips help you out and please keep in mind that I am not an expert researcher (at least not yet!). I’m looking forward to starting my research master’s in September and learning more about conducting research! My hands are already itching from excitement when I think about working on new research projects!

REBLOG FOR GOOD JOB GETTING KARMA COME ON GRAB A PIECE

[baawri]

Parineeti Chopra responds to a male reporter who claims to know nothing about periods (menstrual cycle). [X]

[rabbrakha]

SO IMPORTANT.

[manasaysay]

I started my period when I was 10 years old. But we didn’t tell my grandma for three years because she subscribed to the “old traditions”, where a woman on her period could not enter the house, not even to bathe. Where she had to sit outside in front of the house (where the whole village could be witness to her shame and isolation) for the entire duration.

My friend started her period unexpectedly while we were at our local temple (in America) for dance class. Asking around if any of the parents had pads (all of them apologized and acted like adults about it), I thought surely the front office has a first aid kit. Don’t they have pads? When we asked, not only did they not have any, when one of the women gave one from her purse, the head secretary told us “There are men who need to use the first-aid kit, ya? So we don’t keep period things there.” Not even ibuprofen (which has so many more uses than period pain).

There are girls in India and Nepal (and other places, but I just read an in-depth piece about the situations in Nepal) who have to go to the “period hut” when their period comes and not leave until its over. They can’t wash and dry their cloth pads in the daylight, so they do it at night when the pads won’t dry properly before their next use, making them vulnerable to infection.

It is incredibly important, especially in India, to break the taboo surrounding periods. Break the secrecy around an event that happens to almost every woman, every month for literally half of her lifetime. Break the hiding, break the cover-up, break the SHAME.

Just break EVERYTHING. So little girls can go to school every day of every month without feeling ashamed. So women can work every day of every month to provide for their families without being glared at. So single fathers can confidently take care of their daughters’ health. So that women can talk about how terrible their period is or isn’t and give each other advice on how to deal with it without looking around to make sure men aren’t listening. So that Whisper doesn’t have to be called Whisper, it can be called SHOUT. It can be called PROUD. So that we don’t NEED to fucking WHISPER about our bodies and our health.

[rainydayshea]

fuck yeah. shame men right back. “You don’t know about periods? That’s ridiculous. Terrible.”
