@caffeinatednursing
it’s been 2y2m since i started my first nursing job and i have already been burned out to the point of 0 personal care at least twice. and then when i get a new job my manager had the audacity to act like i haven’t considered all my options.
i want to love this field so badly but oh my god does our system make that hard
Yesterday I said that I'm worried about not using my bullet journal much next year, this year I've really struggled with it.
So I've tried to work out what I hate doing with it. The first thing, is drawing out the same thing each month.
So instead, I designed some and printed them out, each one has a different design for each month. Each month is also colour coded, I'm hoping that I'll be drawn to using it more because of the colours.
So here are all of my monthly budget pages for 2021
13.08.20 / i’ve had this idea of starting a ‘classic literature journal’ for the longest time and i finally had time to start it today. this one is on agnes grey. anne is my favorite brontë sister! anyway, i hope august has been kind to you. we’re nearing the halfway point!! hang in there ♡
ya girl really did that 🎓💉
Things You’ve Heard About Grad School (Esp. A PhD) But Need Repeating
It is, by nature, lonely. Most of your cohort are usually married or have pets or some sort of life outside school, which means that, unlike your undergrad, you might find it difficult to find people to hang out with after school hours. If you’re in a PhD program, this is even worse because everyone does their own thing, most of the time, and apparently year 3 and on is a little more lonely than before (because a lot of us don’t do classes after year 2). Summers, if you choose to stay on campus or your advisor asks you to, are a little lonelier than the academic school cycle as well.
Everyone has their own flow of creative academia, and you cannot be expected to reproduce what worked for other people. As my wonderful coordinator told me, looking me straight in the eyes, as he ignored the other students- Don’t try to reverse engineer the process, that’s not how it works
Time Management, What’s that? The first thing you will notice once you get into classes and research papers is that you no longer know how to manage your time. Years of conditioning has made you work extra hard for your classes and now all your professors are telling you that your classes don’t matter and that you should focus all you time on your research. BUT HOW. Well, that’s a question apparently no one quite knows how to handle. The apps help you keep track of things, but prioritization is an art that can apparently only be learnt through anxiety inducing breakdowns.
If you already knew everything, you wouldn’t be here- This is really easy to forget and I have to constantly catch myself and remind myself that it is expected that I find things hard in my first year. You will find things hard regardless of which year you are in AND THAT IS OKAY.
Drug addicts deserve common decency no matter what drug they are addicted to, how severe their addiction is, and whether or not they are receiving help for their addiction.
Apparently we’re at 100 days of lockdown now. Some decaf and shared workspaces at home on this gloomy afternoon : - )
My room smells like crisp linen, banana pancakes, and coffee & I’m living for it

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” – Confucius
the curve of forgetting
the curve of forgetting describes how we retain or get of information we absorb.
day 1: you go into a lecture knowing 0% and come out knowing 100% of what you know (regardless of whether you know it extremely well or not)
day 2: you did not do any reviewing of your notes from day 1 therefore you have lost 50%-80%
and as the days progress we forget less and less
think about midterms! notice how around midterms when you’re trying to study for something (that you haven’t been reviewing for regularly) it feels like the material is VERY difficult and almost as if you’ve never learned it before
formula to reshape the curve
within 24 hours of your lecture spend 10 minutes reviewing the material
a week later: it will only take 5 minutes to REACTIVATE the same material
ultimately, you will reshape the curve
day 30: by this day your brain will only need 2-4 minutes to recall
information on the curve of forgetting was taken from the university of waterloo (x)
my formula to reshape the curve using the information above
before class: spend 10 minutes PREVIEWING the material.
after class: spend 10 minutes REVIEWING the material
do this regularly. this will be your preview/review system for each class.
a week later: try to review a week later. i know that school/life can get pretty hectic, but try to make sure you are reviewing regularly.
maybe record yourself saying some important details/concepts from your notes the night before and on your daily commute to school plug in those earphones and listen to it. i am an auditory learner and i find that listening to my notes before i go to bed and right when i wake up have truly helped me retain information. studies have shown that the best time to study is right before going to bed and right when you wake up.
a month later: after a month, review what you’ve learned so far in your class. trust me this will be a very very short review. everything will look very familiar to you and it won’t look as difficult as it used to.
basically your review schedule should be the following:
1 hour before learning the material
1 hour after learning the material (or within 24 hours of learning it b/c i know we’re all very busy people)
1 day later
1 week later
1 month later
remember everyone learns, studies, and retains information differently!! my personal belief is that your technique is what matters most. it is not about your innate ability/talent. find a technique that works for you.
more suggestions:
active learning > passive learning
when taking notes use the Cornell method. it forces you to ask questions and summarize what you’ve learned.
set frequent, short, review sessions
test yourself constantly! there are so many resources online.
people who are under stress have difficulty remembering things so CHILL OUT
don’t rush, take your time
repetition is key
practice MAKES PERFECT
group items together
fish, vitamin b12, and green tea can help w/ memory
don’t give up. like morrissey said “these things take time.”
going thru phone pics and found this thing that was tacked up next to the toaster at my old job, if anyone needs some light toast eating reading material
Would anyone be kind enough to transcribe this or link to a text version?
Everything Is AWFUL and I’m Not Okay: Questions to Ask Before Giving Up on Yourself
Are you hydrated?
If not, have a glass of water. Dehydration can mimic or increase feelings associated with anxiety and a well hydrated brain functions optimally. Avoid excess caffeine.
Have you eaten in the past three hours?
Don’t be a victim of hanger! Get some food–something with protein, not just simple carbs or high-fat. Nuts, hummus, and veggies are great options to feed your studying brain. Keep healthy snacks within reach to avoid mindlessly chowing down on sweets.
Have you stretched your legs in the past day?
If not, do so right now. If you don’t have the energy or time for a run or a trip to the gym, just walk around the block or building. Even minimal exercise preps the mind for learning so that you can focus better and recall things easier, plus it’s good to get a change of scenery.
Have you said something nice to someone in the past day?
Do so, whether online or in person. Make it genuine! We bet your study partner would appreciate a compliment.
Have you moved your body to music in the past day?
If not, jog for the length of a song at your favorite tempo, or just dance around your bedroom for the length of an upbeat song (singing along is a bonus)
Have you cuddled a living being in the past two days?
If not, do so. Don’t be afraid to ask for hugs from friends of friends’ pets. Most of them will enjoy the cuddles too; you’re not imposing.
Have you started or changed any medications in the past couple of weeks, including skipped doses or a change in generic prescription brand?
That may be screwing with your head. Give things a few days, then talk to your doctor if it doesn’t settle down.
If daytime: are you dressed?
If no, put on clean clothes that aren’t PJs. Give yourself permission to wear something special, whether it’s a funny t-shirt or a pretty dress.
If nighttime: are you sleepy and fatigued but resisting going to sleep?
Put on PJs, make yourself cozy in bed with a teddy bear and the sound of falling rain, and close your eyes for fifteen minutes while focusing on breathing deeper with every breath- no electronic screens allowed! Adequate sleep is a necessity for stress management.
Do you feel ineffective?
Pause right now and get something small completed, whether it’s responding to an email, loading the dishwasher, or tidying up your room. Good job!
Do you feel unattractive?
Take a darn selfie. Your friends will remind you how great you look. You are always insta-worthy.
Do you feel paralyzed by indecision?
Give yourself ten minutes to sit back and figure out a game plan for the day. If a particular decision or problem is still being a roadblock, simply set it aside for now, and pick something else that seems doable. Right now, the important part is to break through that stasis, even if it means doing something trivial.
Have you over-exerted yourself lately–physically, emotionally, socially, or intellectually?
That can take a toll that lingers for days. Give yourself a break in that area, whether it’s physical rest, taking some time alone, or relaxing with some silly entertainment for a little. Time spent refreshing yourself is never time “wasted!”
Have you waited a week?
Sometimes or perception of life is skewed, and we can’t even tell that we’re not thinking clearly, and there’s no obvious external cause. It happens. Keep yourself going for a full week, whatever it takes, and see if you still feel the same way then.
You’ve made it this far; and you will make it through. You are stronger than you think.
Because someone might need this today
You have survived 100% of your worst days.
This too shall pass.

fun theme for january,, i was feeling down for a couple of days so i tried making something a bit different to see if that would cheer me up! (it did)
on another note, school starts tomorrow and i'm low-key panicking. i am glad to have a routine again, it really helps both my physical and mental health, but i have so much stuff to do. i'm going to really have to push myself over the course of the next week in order to finish everything i should have done during the holidays but didn't. this is what i get for being lazy and procrastinating!!

i’m 3 days away from starting my last semester of nursing school, and am i ready? no
is anyone surprised? no
here we go friends
i swear studyblrs are forces of pure chaos because i look at y'alls posts and it'll be an aesthetic picture of a cafe and some notes but the caption will say some shit like "12/8/2019, my boyfriend cheated on me with my sister and my parents kicked me out ... but it's finals week so i'm studying for my english lit exam !!"

what was the last book you read? and did you enjoy it? i finished a physical book (permanent record by mary h. k. choi) before flying back home and gave it a 4/5 stars! then i finished an ebook (aflame by penelope douglas) shortly after and gave it a 5/5 stars! i love new adult books with characters who overcome their demons and help each other grow🧡 (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OF7ZPnA3F/?igshid=1kayx1acc1lg5
In the three hours I spent in the library today, I only managed to get through 30 pages of Kant's Critique of the Practical Reason (170 to go!). It's probably the most challenging read I have encountered so far in the year, but this kind of intellectual stimulation is what I signed up for.
Roaming through the streets of the quartier latin, messaging my friends and seeing Portrait of a Lady on Fire (I cried) made this grey wednesday a bit more pleasant.
