How to recover an unsaved draft on Microsoft Word
This literally saved my ass a few minutes ago. Yes, you can recover those files that you accidentally closed and thought you couldnt get back.
Right after that happens, open Microsoft Word again and click File - Info - Manage Versions - Recover Unsaved Documents.
It is literally that simple.

Break ideas
Want to take a break from studying but you don’t want to end up just scrolling through social media like a zombie? Here are some break ideas:
10 minutes or less:
go get a glass of water
make yourself a cup of tea
jurnal a bit
ask someone for a massage or just ease the tension in you shoulders yourself
go over your goals or to-do list
play with pets
make a snack (healthy if possible)
listen to music
watch a short youtube video
10 minutes or more:
stretch
work out
write a poem
draw a picture
watch an episode of your favourite show
play with pets but LONGER
spend time with family
call a friend (or text them if you aren’t a fan of phonecalls like me)
prepare lunch for the next day
watch a long youtube video
go for a walk
take a nap (shorter than 20 minutes is the best for refreshing your mind)
shower
listen to a podcast
Have an amazing day and good luck!
this and next week's weekly for september fashion theme!
uni only starts in october so I'm mainly documenting other events, appointments and chores. 📖🖇
Definitely not writing these down 🤐👀
Here’s a helpful flow chart:
I’d add - gentle reminder to people who DO have university library access, it is probably illegal for you to upload texts to these sites, despite the fact that you pretty much have a moral obligation to do so.
And remember it’s not limited to your area of study. It is perfectly legal for you to do a bit of research into the various textbooks that are most in demand, and those which are most expensive, and find out if you have free access to them.
Of course it would be illegal for you to remove the DRM and upload it to libgen, despite the fact that it’s a tangible, effective way of extending solidarity and breaking down the absurd barriers that capitalism puts on knowledge.
So yes, don’t be tempted by this particular illegal action, which costs you nothing, and is the right thing to do.
To my knowledge there are no laws against donating bitcoin to libgen though, link on the site give a bitcoin address of: 12hQANsSHXxyPPgkhoBMSyHpXmzgVbdDGd
There are also browser extensions that can bypass paywalls on many sites to access articles that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to
September 2020
I am ready for fall so I made some very cozy trackers. This is only my third mood tracker but I think it might be a good way to reflect a bit on a daily basis.

how to learn new content and never forget it
save this for your next academic year and finals, and it’ll save your grades and time.
1. whenever you read a paragraph with new content, close the book/look away and ask yourself: “what have i just learned?” explaining the concept to yourself right away and asking follow-up questions will change the way you retain new material forever.
2. at first, it’ll be daunting, and it’ll be pretty hard to actually bring yourself to do this. trust me, it’ll be worth it - as this is scientifically proven one of the most effective study techniques.
3. to try this out, set yourself a timer for how long you estimate learning a concept might take. now take away 20% from that estimate. you won’t be able to reach this goal with basic highlighting and re-reading techniques - but with active recall, you will.
4. once you’ve understood the concept, use spaced repetition systems like anki flashcards to force yourself to retrieve this information in a set period of time. this way, your brain will always be reminded of this concept before it could possibly forget it.
5. teach it to others as much as you can. as with the old wisdom “see one, do one, teach one”, one of the only guarantees you’ve really gotten something is when you can effectively teach it.
hope these are helpful for you!!

I totally get why everybody’s getting into “Dark Academia” rn but as someone who has a pretty intimate knowledge of both for the love of God please do not apply to graduate school thinking it’s gonna be like that
tfw you sent a billion mails with no result and finally you message a higher authority. not only do they answer within a day. but with the info you actually needed. i am crying.
i haven’t been active in a whiiiile
guess i’ll have to now, even just to manage all the online shit that’s happening which was bearable the last week but now there so much more. let’s do this, lads.
GoFundMe - Help create my website for tutoring & shop
I’ve created a GoFundMe because I would really love to create my website to offer tutoring services (English, German up to A2 level, and Tourism to begin with via video chat or email) and a shop section for my digital products such as weekly planners, vocab lists, language sheets etc. However, the cost for a yearly plan is 178 Euros. Unfortunately I can’t afford that, but I would really really love to pursue this endeavour!
I hate asking for money, but as most of you probably know, since moving to Germany (from the UK) in October 2019 I’ve had a really bad time with trying to find a job and was treated horribly in the one job I did get. I do now work as an English tutor in my city (since end of Jan 2020), however it’s sadly not enough money to even afford my monthly food costs, let alone my rent, bills, travel to work etc. I am continuing to search for a second, possibly even a third job, just to get me by with all my expenses. But this website would be a side project, something I’ve been dreaming of doing for a long time.
If you can donate even 50p / 50 Cents, I will be so grateful. In return, I will create some free digital printables and offer discount codes for my website, maybe even other cool things in the future depending on what people would want.
Click here to view my GoFundMe page / donate if you want to/can. Please don’t feel obligated to pay - only if you can afford to and want to do this. I really really appreciate any money that might be donated. :)
Is today (Karneval/Fasching) or any days next week classed as a Feiertag (in NRW)? Just wondering because my bus doesn’t come on a day that’s a Feiertag and will make me late for work if I don’t know about it beforehand. I’m working today (20th, Weiberfastnacht) and on the 26th (Aschermittwoch).
i don't think so! in any case you can look up gesetzliche Feiertage in your bundesland!
i'm in lower saxony, we don't have the day off on Friday, but some places do have the day off on upcoming monday, aka Rosenmontag, hope that helps! :)
i love when ur writing an essay and u all of a sudden get a burst of inspiration or find the perfect source to back up ur point and it’s like the clouds have parted and everything’s clear and ur not gonna have to drop out
never mind everything sucks essay writing is horrible i have no clue what im doing im gonna drop out and become a street performer
NEVER MIND IM THE KING OF ACADEMIA IM GONNA GET 100% IM GONNA FINISH ON TIME AND HAVE A WELL STRUCTURED ARGUMENT AND IT’S GONNA BE AWESOME
never mind.
This is grad school
lies about adulthood/ esp your 20′s
hi! i’m almost 22 and as we all know about things that are supposed to magically resolve themselves and what not, here’s a list of things i realized (feel free to add on!)
pimples, acne, etc. will not miraculously disappear once you’re 18 or 21
you will not just know about contracts just because you’re older
same for insurances, taxes and all that bureaucratic jazz
living on your own does not mean living like a ninja turtle
you gotta figure out what you can cook, bake, etc.
tv and internet costs more money than you think it does
periods will still fuck you up if you have an uterus and are over 18
the mindset “you are an adult now so you’ll be fine on your own” is not true, please talk to others and don’t isolate yourself thinking you’re a failure
living in a shared flat can be awful
so can be living on your own
you gotta find what suits you and this is just trial, error, repeat
everyone will be on a different level, comparing yourself to others your age or just in your field of study/work can be disheartening if you think you should be like or better than them
you don’t have to be better than anyone else, you are just fine
don’t feel guilty about “procrastinating”, rest is not a bad thing and relaxing for a while, an hour, two days, is NOT bad
keep an eye on your mental health, adulthood as the solution to teenage moods/ whatever is bs and you still need to check on yourself
May you have the courage to break the patterns in your life that are no longer serving you.
Great. My Microsoft subscription will run out next month, meaning I’ll have to pay £60 to renew it, and my Adobe reader will also run out which’ll be an extra £10. Does anyone know if I can still save documents like Word documents to my laptop from Google Drive? 😔
if your docs are saved on your computer, you should be fine. i switched from Microsoft to Open Office and i can still open and use all my old documents!
open office is the less shiny but free version and i think it works just fine :)
i‘m going to a campus tour of an university i’m considering tomorrow!! do any of you have ideas what questions i could ask?
what kind of questions do you have already?
tip: my uni has a shitty system to register for exams etc. and it’s super inconsequent and nobody really knows how to use it. so, see how structured and consistent the institutes work!
