Today was the first day of classes! I had Writing and Econ today. Even though all the assignments right now are just pre-class assignments and honestly simple warm up stuff, I feel so stressed :(. I think I just need to break out of the summer slump.
Also because I decided to be a business major imma have soooo many presentations to do and I hate public speaking so this is gonna be REAL fun...
I’m still getting used to living on campus, super weird for me. I haven’t made any friends yet but the people I’ve met so far in my classes seem nice.
30 Day Challenge: Advanced Language Study
Feel free to start these at any time you want, and have fun! You don’t have to do every part of every challenge if you don’t want to.
Read a news article in your target language. Write down any words or phrases you don’t know. Take note of what kind of speech is used when describing the news. Write a summary of the article, rephrasing it in your own words.
Record yourself speaking in your target language and listen to it, taking note of your pronunciation. See if you can find ways to make your speech sound more clear and natural.
Watch and episode of a tv show or a movie in your target language, without subtitles. Try going for something you haven’t seen before and see how much you understand. Write down any phrases and words you don’t know with what you think they mean, based on context. You can check the meanings after you finish watching. If you have time, feel free to watch it again and see how much you understand now that you’ve checked these words.
If you are currently studying something other than language, research the vocabulary for that subject in your target language (for example, I’m a music major, so I’d research vocabulary and phrases used to describe music in my target language). If you don’t have any other focus of study, choose a hobby.
Research idioms in your target language.
Come up with and look up puns in your target language.
Listen to songs in your target language. Note how phrasing is manipulated to make the words fit with the music.
Look up synonyms for words you already know. See if you can find slight differences in meaning or connotation between the words.
Read poetry in your target language. Study the phrasing and usage of words. See if you can write your own interpretation of the poem.
Note everything you do throughout the day. If there are any verbs for things you did that you don’t know in your target language, look them up. Same goes for objects you use.
If you are studying a language, make sure you can describe the language itself in the language you are studying. Look up grammatical terms and expressions.
Sit down somewhere (a place with a lot of people would probably be easiest to write about) and observe. Describe what you see as detailed as you can. Take the time to find the right words (make use of adjectives and adverbs!) to describe what you see.
Write a diary entry in your target language. Focus on describing thoughts and emotions.
Give yourself a spelling quiz.
Read a fictional story. Take note of what kind of speech is used (like poetic or writing techniques specific to the language) when telling the story.
Write a story, using the techniques you’ve noted the previous day.
Practice translating from your target language to your main language, using an article or a few pages of a book.
Read a blog entry in your target language. Blog entries are often more casual, and use expressions that resemble spoken language more than written language. Take note of how spoken language is written down.
Write a dialogue in your target language. Focus on different speech patterns between different people.
Write a letter to someone in your target language. If you don’t know who to write to feel free to write to yourself. Or to me!
Practice translating from your main language to your target language.
Watch a TV show in your target language with subtitles, and compare the translations. See if you agree with the written translations, and if not, think of how you would translate it yourself.
Pick a set of words in your target language and define them in that language.
Look into the different dialects of your target language. Note the similarities and differences.
Listen to a professional speech in your target language. Make note of any specialized words or words you don’t know.
Think of an everyday interaction you might have (for example, going to the bank) in which you do not yet have the vocabulary you would need. Look up the vocabulary you would use in such a situation (cultural differences are also worth noting!)
Time to focus a bit on culture! Look into popular entertainment or businesses in your target culture that are of interest to you. Do as much of the reading in your target language as you can.
Look up children’s games (such as word games) and songs. If you can, find someone to play them with you.
Try to describe people you know. Include appearance, personality, habits, etc. Look up any words you do not know.
Read an excerpt of an academic source in your target language. Note any vocabulary or grammar you don’t understand.
If you plan to make daily posts with these challenges feel free to tag me in them! I would love to see what everyone wrote.
My first bullet journal?
I’ve never done this before, but after watching @neenzus video I was inspired. My set up is basically the same as her’s, just messier and not as interesting. lmao. I’ll try to make it better next month. I do realize that it’s like half way through August... oops.
Also I just got back from Quebec and I miss it so much :( it was so pretty and the food was soooo good.
A Really Fucking Vulgar Guide to Not Losing Your Shit in College (Condensed Version)
Bitches love to put things into lists. Moreover, bitches love numbered shit. Here’s some numbered shit in list format to help you not suck in higher education. You’re welcome.
1. Go to class. Like 210% serious. I don’t give a shit if you’re a get by on nothing, A+ slacker. You’re fucking paying for this crap so you might as well get the services owed to you. Take your ass to class even if you zone out 99% of the time. You know 1% more than you did when you walked up in there. Congrats, asshole.
2. All that free time you have during your first week of classes? Make it your bitch. Don’t just print the goddamn syllabus and be like all done. No motherfucker. Take a good fucking look at that assignment list. What’s due next week? Yeah, do that shit now bc I know you don’t have anything else to do. Then when you’re coughing up a lung six weeks into the semester and don’t feel like getting your ass up to do that calculus homework, you’ll remember this week. You’ll remember that you’ve been a week ahead this whole damn semester. Pat yourself on the back, ass wipe.
3. Prepare yo self. No seriously. You got notes to print for class? Sure you could be like all those other bitches and just shove them into your backpack, or you could actually /prepare/ for class. I’m talking looking that shit over, identifying key concepts, getting a decent grasp of the material before your ass is even in class. You a STEM major? Yeah, make this kinda shit your life because now class is like one bomb ass group review session. Again, you’re welcome.
4. Snack like a motherfucker, but save that junk food shit for the weekends. From now on, you are a fucking health guru during the week or if you’re a slacker like me, at least on the days you have class. Fruits? Hell yeah. Pack some of those. Mind wandering in class? Snack on some apple slices. Can’t stay awake? Keep eating some almonds or some shit, but don’t be that bitch with the potato chips. Just don’t.
5. Read. Yeah, you heard me. Read and I’m not just talking assigned reading. I bet my left butt cheek that your campus library has /something/ of interest to you. Commuting and don’t want to drive out there? Library databases bro. We’re in the digital age, motherfucker. I’d bet my other butt cheek that the shit you want is in a nice little PDF somewhere. But na man, you thinking maybe you want to go into computer science? Check out computer science books and eat them up bro. You don’t like reading them? Probably not the field for you. You a biology major in your second year? Yeah dumbass. Time to break out the bio books and not the ones your professor is shoving in your face. Amaze your friends and teachers with your out of class knowledge. Be a fucking star.

korean notes from my morning study session (feat. my new adorable cat clips from midori)

I really love this beach and strawberry inspired spread and it feels very much like summer!

Your illustrations are charming!
Thank u !!!
friendly reminders:
• stop obsessing over people who don’t put any effort into your relationship (platonic, non platonic, whatever)
• if the “love of your life” is happy with somebody else, be happy that they’re happy and move on
• stop comparing yourself to people who are so bland, you are astronomical
• don’t say shit about other people that you 1) wouldn’t say in front of a large audience and 2) wouldn’t want said about you
• “friends” that tell you you’re annoying or weird, don’t talk to you about your general interests, and leave you out of shit are not your friends
• if you can only gossip with somebody, they are also not your friend. also, why you out here gossiping? get a hobby. gossip is only best in small portions. if you just blabbing ‘bout Stacy and her 10 boyfriends all the time, that just makes you dull
• don’t get hung up on bad grades, bad people, and bad shit. you have approx. 80 years on this planet to do something great before it’s all over. don’t waste your time being down. go pet a dog, hug your friends, have some hot chocolate, and scream your favourite songs

Early morning anatomy study session at the sunlit library. So far I really enjoy the respiration module :-)
a list of my favorite study tips (and when to use them)
summer:
invest in a book of short stories for each language you’re studying, and keep the book(s) on your bedside table. take advantage of the free time while out of school to get in the habit of reading through the short stories whenever you can. just a few minutes of reading the short stories every day will immensely improve your foreign language skills and keep you from forgetting the vocab & grammar over summer break
acquire a list of the books you’ll be reading for school in the fall and start reading them. to get the list of books, try asking someone who’s already taken the class, your future teachers, or a school counselor. reading the books ahead of time will not only put you ahead of the rest of your class by giving you time to work through the material in advance; it will also significantly lessen your workload during the school year.
this applies to the school year as well, but especially when you’re reading books in advance, keep a journal and pen at hand every time you read. write down the major plot points of the section you’re reading, what you like/agree with, what you dislike/disagree with, and one or two quotes that summarize the main themes of the section (make sure you include page numbers!!!!). when school starts & you’re assigned an essay on that book, you’ll already have the main points of the book laid out, and lots of great quotes—with page references!—to use in your essay.
two weeks before school starts:
take a look at your syllabus and get started on your first assignments. if you start now, you can stay at least one week ahead on all of your assignments throughout the year. this is a HUGE lifesaver when something comes up unexpectedly during the school year—like getting sick or having to go out of town for a few days at the last minute—and you don’t have time to get homework done, because if you’ve done it in advance then you won’t have to worry about falling behind.
get a planner app for your phone. i like egenda, but you can use any app where you input homework assignments in advance and it alerts you at various intervals of time before they’re due. it’s impossible to get a good grade on an assignment if you forget to turn it in on time, so just alleviate that issue altogether.
throughout the school year:
take notes. have a notebook open in every class, and write down all important names, dates, quotes, formulas, and theorems. write the current date at the top of each page, and have a separate notebook for each subject. if a teacher repeats something more than once in a class, underline it, because those are the things that appear on midterms and finals.
help yourself memorize things by writing essays about them. even if you’re not assigned an essay about a topic, try to write/type two or three paragraphs every week to summarize what you’re learning in a class. writing things in your own words is one of the best ways to remember them, and it will also help you to improve your writing skills. additionally, this should be applied to all subjects, not just literature or history (because even if you’re studying a STEM field and writing isn’t a huge part of the curriculum, you should still have the ability to write about STEM concepts in a way that is understandable and engaging).
befriend the smartest person in the class. figure out who always has the right answers and make yourself their ally. be a good friend to them, and then when you’re struggling with a concept, they will either explain it to you or—if they don’t know what the explanation is yet—they’ll help you search for it.
take advantage of indexes. almost all books have one, and they can be lifesavers if you don’t know the answer to a question. especially in history class, when there are a bunch of names that are super difficult to memorize. i know this is a pretty basic tip (if you can even call it a tip), but i’ve had a lot of friends completely forget about indexes, so this is just a brief reminder. :)
participate in class. this might sound super obvious, but you cannot retain information without discussing it! if you’re like me and participating in class sucks because of social anxiety, try to force yourself out of your comfort zone & remember that you are your own worst critic, but it’s also okay just to discuss things with a close friend or family member instead. the important thing is that you’re repeating what you’ve learned out loud and practicing explaining it to someone else, which will really help you to grasp the concepts.
three weeks before midterms/finals:
now is when all of your notes come in handy. go back through the notes for each class and study them, particularly the parts you’ve underlined. you shouldn’t try to memorize the pages, but you should study them enough that—by finals week—you could summarize the contents if someone asked you pointed questions about them. this is also when it becomes extra helpful to be friends with the smartest person in the class, because they will be an excellent study buddy. just make sure that you reciprocate if you ask them to help you study.
fill in any gaps in your notes by talking to your teachers and attending all of the office hours that you can. many teachers will give you a study guide if you ask for one, and you can literally go through and fill it in with info from your notes. remember, most of your teachers really do want you to do well, and they’ll try their best to help you achieve the best scores possible.
if any of your quizzes are open book, ask your teacher if you can put completely blank sticky notes on pages. bookmark the pages that have important events, quotes, facts, etc., and then if you forget something on a test you can refer to the book & it will be much easier to find the information. personally, the only open book finals i’ve had are the kind where you just write three 1000 word essays in 3 hours, but we are required to have at least 5 quotes in each essay, so if that’s the case for any of you guys then this tip is super helpful for bookmarking those quotes as well.
while taking a final/midterm:
read through the whole test first. figure out how long it is, how much time you have, and how many points each question is worth. if you’re worried about running out of time, start by doing the problems that are worth more points, and then out of whatever’s left do the ones that look easiest first. this will guarantee that you make the best use of your time & get the highest grade possible
and that’s all i can think of right now! hope this can help at least a few people :)

Mandarin Chinese: Prepositions
(Alright, here goes an attempt at a Mandarin grammar lesson. It’s what I’ve just learned, so I hope I can explain it clearly enough.)
Prepositions link pronouns, nouns, noun phrases, etc. with words like with, for, and to. Here are some common ones in Mandarin:
对 duì - to (someone)
跟 gēn - with; from
给 gěi - to; for
替 tì - for (someone)
用 yòng - with
Important Points:
a) Object comes directly after the preposition
b) The prepositional phrase (PP) comes before the verb. Example:
这个小男孩对我微笑。(This little boy smiled at me.)
[preposition: at // object: me // verb: smiled]
c) Modifiers (adverbs and such) go either before the PP or after the verb’s object. Example:
我明天会跟他说。(I will speak with him tomorrow.)
[adverb: tomorrow // preposition: with him // verb: speak]
Prepositional Phrase Examples:
{Identify the prepositions and notice where they’re used!}
今天晚上我要跟他去吃饭。(This evening I am going to have dinner with him.)
[lit. ‘Today’s evening I’m going with him to go eat food.’]
李先生想给他的太太买一条金项炼。(Mr. Li is thinking of buying his wife a gold necklace.)
[lit. ‘Mr. Li is thinking for his wife to buy a gold necklace.’]
他用木棍敲我的头。(He hit me on the head with a stick.)
[lit. ‘He with a stick hit my head.’]

That’s all I’ve got for today, and I really hope this is helpful for somebody. I’m still figuring this out myself, so if I made any mistakes, please correct me, or let me know how I could be clearer!
