update! i finally made it to my study abroad location: london!!

i’ve been here for like a day and a half and am just trying to get settled as much as possible. today i went to a lovely waterstones and just walked around for a bit, but i’m pretty jetlagged so i kind of wasted half my day in bed lol

while i’m really excited, to be completely honest, i’m also really nervous for classes to start. i didn’t take classes last semester because i was doing a full-time internship, so in addition to the culture shock and uncertainty with not knowing anyone here, i feel like i need to get back into the groove of being in classes. feeling very anxious and stressed, but overall so excited and grateful be here! ok, rant: over.

How to Tackle Assigned College Readings

Okay to give you an idea of the reading load of my current grad program, last week’s assigned reading amounted to 307 pages or about 24 hours of dense dry boring reading. How the fuck am I supposed complete all of this reading AND all my homework AND all my research AND not go crazy AND have a personal life?

Well for five easy payments of 29.99 + shipping and handling I will tell you! Or I guess you could just click “read more” below. I consider myself of average intelligence. Schoolwork/learning doesn’t come “easy” for me, but I don’t struggle profoundly with it either.  Despite my average intelligence I have four college degrees and a GPA of 3.90. The advice I am going to dispense below has worked for me. That is not a guarantee that it will work for you, but I hope it helps!

romanticising studying masterlist, rory gilmore ver.

(please keep in mind that this is just for fun! rory has a habit of knocking herself out by taking on more than she can handle so make sure to learn from her mistakes too♡)

study habits

keep a planner

throughout her school life rory is extremely organised about her classwork and we're shown her and her mother attempting to schedule hangouts by referring to planners a couple of times. as long as you remember to keep it updated, having a planner is one of the best possible things you can do to stay on top of things.

folders for literally everything

while it's unnecessary to invest in the amount of folders you can probably imagine rory goes through throughout her school career, it can be helpful to make sure papers are separated, whether with post-it bookmarks or dividers!

never leave the house without a book and read in spare moments

reading constantly for fun is the best way to improve your vocabulary and be introduced to a lot of new perspectives and ways of thinking, as well as get used to what types of stories you enjoy and what not so much.

homework on saturday, extra credit sunday

this is another example of rory using a structure to keep order in her academic life. although she gets overwhelmed more than once in the show, it never hurts to at least have a loose plan.

work hard, play hard mentality

although the amount of things she manages to go out and do in the show while also juggling schoolwork is unrealistic, rory never fixates too hard on one thing or the other--she always leaves time for movie nights and hanging out with lane. it's important to make sure never to neglect having your own fun even when your main focus is on school :)

vision-boarded future

rory is super goal-oriented and has a clear future path in mind! her harvard board in her room is a constant reminder of what she is working towards.

study with coffee and snacks

in the show lorelai and rory probably drink their weight in coffee. though i'd probably advise against extreme levels of coffee consumption, it's nice to have something to refuel with when you eventually get worn out from studying.

go through with the tasks you put your mind to

one of rory's both positive and sometimes negative traits is that she is extremely stubborn, but a consequence of it is that she goes through with any task she sets her sights on.

study without music (usually)

in the scenes rory's studying she's usually not listening to music unless she's reading, although whether that actually helps always varies from person to person!

if you can't focus on one thing, switch to another

this is actually a pretty sound study technique. switching between subjects keeps you engaged in work and prevents you from giving up too early while also giving your brain a bit of a break from anything you can't manage enough willpower to do.

positive mindset towards learning even when the going gets hard

the most significant thing about rory's studying is that she is curious and likes knowing things. even though her time at chilton is difficult and paris gives her a hard time sometimes, she still enjoys school because of the learning aspect and treats her homework and assignments not as chores but as something to really devote herself to.

update

Hi! sorry I haven’t been on the past few years, but I just wanted to say that I got my A-levels (a couple As and a couple Bs..) and went to university for a Biology degree. I got a First with honours and now I’m about to start a Master’s degree in Conservation (of nature) :)

Hope all of you are doing well in your studies!

14/05/2020; 60/100 days of productivity:

I feel like I’ve been doing this tag forever. 

Today’s revision has included atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes and hhs, pheochromocytoma, and cushing’s syndrome - in total, a lot of endocrinology. I’ve just finished watching a webinar on anaphylaxis, so I’m going to read over my notes before making some flashcards. I’ve realised my flashcards are a mess and I haven’t been tagging them correctly so I now have a mountain of a task to reorganise them.

As most people are working and studying from home right now, I wanted to share some concrete, implementable ways you can help yourself feel better. Though I believe productivity and quantity of work done (or lack thereof) doesn’t/shouldn’t translate into your self-worth and how you view yourself, when you get work done, you actually do feel better in your own body. 

By the way, it’s the first time I’m formatting a tips/guide post like this, so I apologize that I couldn’t be more concise.

I’ve spoken to a licensed professional counsellor as well as to some professionals who have been working from home for a long time, and some of the advice above is from them. I’m also sharing from my own experience as someone who used to be very productive and an (ex-)overachiever, and still attach a lot of my self-worth to grades and other tangible accomplishments. I hope these slides can help you. In case it’s hard to read, I’ve included it (reworded) in text form if you’d like to read more. 

Keep reading
