[270821] Summer must-haves; iced coffees and loafers
Friday, August 27th
One day I will have dark brown furniture and more space to store all my stuff rather than this mess, but for now this will suffice.
School starts in three days, and I may not be able to attend due to issues with me qualifying for instate tuition despite the fact that I’ve lived in this state my whole life and qualified last year. Out of state tuition is 3x the amount of in state and I simply cannot afford it. I’m doing everything I can to make sure I can start this upcoming Monday, but the bureaucracy is testing me. If anyone has any advice for this sort of situation, it’d be greatly appreciated.
Trying not to stress too much though! If I can’t go to school this year, I will figure something else out in the meantime.
Idk who needs to hear this but your tummy isn’t ruining your outfits, you look hot
How I Use Notion To Organize My Life
I discovered notion last year after falling down a YouTube rabbit hole, and I cannot believe how perfect the tool is for me. I constantly have a million thoughts in my head, and on-going tasks to track. Notion has simplified that process immensely, and made it possible to make a fully customizable portal that suited my preferences.
Every month there’s a new tweet that’s like “I cannot BELIEVE libraries would just THROW OUT decades-old copies of popular books instead of investing money, labor, and space they don’t have to slowly donate each moldy copy of Brave New World to a child who’d want it” and every month librarians will write painstaking threads detailing why this practice occurs and why these well-meaning suggestions do not work, and every month nobody reads them and then this happens all over again
This is book burning in my opinion on a mass scale! 😢😭😠😤😡🤬
@vampiregrrl98 It’s REALLY not, though, which is the point of this post. They’re not throwing out books anyone wants to read, or books anyone is trying to check out. Some of those books are damaged. And if they’re damaged because people have been checking it out so much, then they’ll probably get another copy that isn’t falling apart. Libraries don’t have room to keep everything. For example: when I worked in the school library in jr. high, we threw out a whole shelf of non-fiction books about other countries because they were 30-40 years out of date. They were better sources, some of them were about countries that didn’t technically exist anymore (because, in the interim, the cold war had ended, among other things), and a lot of them were kind of racist!
Another difference someone else pointed out is that book burning happens to destroy information. These books are being destroyed because they’re unwanted, the information still exists either in a better form or just in a newer wrapper. Books don’t last forever. I was shocked the first time I learned about weeding, but mum explained it to me. Libraries do often give away a lot of books for free or at low cost. They sell them at the library itself. If people don’t grab them what’s supposed to happen then? Do you know how many books are kept in the stacks? They pile up really quickly.
I really appreciate all the people who are kindly and patiently explaining the weeding process to those who are shocked by this practice because I need such people to counter my tired ass just telling them “Fuck you and fuck your books too I love pulping them actually, and fuck you, again”
The school library was weeding some books while I was teaching art camp this summer, so I grabbed an armful the day we were going to make collages.
The shocked gasp that rose from those children when I lifted a book up and Ripped it in two thrilled me a bit more than is probably okay. I then had to explain that these are old, cheap books, no one will want or buy them, they’re falling apart, etc. Reusing them for art is a kinder fate than throwing them straight in the trash.
A few of them ended up being delighted in the transgressive feeling of cutting up a book to use in art. If they remember anything from camp, it’ll probably be that moment
Books are not, in and of themselves, sacred. They are the vessels of knowledge and stories, but vessels age and wear out and must be replaced.
Sort of calm, sort of terrified right now
3 Websites/Apps that every student needs.
• Photomath: Photomath is an app where you can take a photo of a math equation and it solves it for you but unlike some other apps that give you straight up the answer Photomath provides you with a detailed analysis of the solving procedure.
• Hemingway: This a site that comes really handy when it comes to double-checking essays. After finishing a big essay most people make mistakes (e.x. some words might not be correctly written or might not “fit”) so you copy and paste the whole article or whatever you’re writing there and it highlights the vocabulary or syntax mistakes made.
• IXL: This is a website for maths practice problems that I mentioned in my previous post. There’s not much to explain, it provides you with all kinds of exercises for whatever you need and at least for me it has done wonders.
Day 12 of Summer Studying Challenge
I’m going through hard times lately but yesterday, talking to my family and my boyfriend really helped me even though I knew it was going to be hard to talk about the problems that i have and indeed it was harder than I thought. Just don’t save your thoughts or emotions to yourself, it’ll never be the best way to deal with it so think about sharing without any fear. I’m just saying don’t mind me.. (baby if you see this ily)
12th July - What is the worst vacation you have ever been on?

hey everyone! i haven't been posting lately because i haven't been feeling well for the past few days. it's not that i'm sick or anything, my mental health just isn't in its best shape. but here are some life updates during my slow, off-days:
I finally got to decorate my boring and bare white wall.

made a playlist full of kpop songs that i can't lie, are sooo good especially if you're like me who isn't into rap music.
🎧 kidult - seventeen ☄️
Hey, can you tell me how to memorize something faster.
Hello, anon! I'm honestly the worst person to answer this because I have terrible memory and also because I haven't take a test in years (I'm guessing that's why you want to know how to memorize something faster, but if not please let me know!).
However, I know our wonderful studyblr community has several posts about this subject, with amazing tips and each one with different methods you can try. I gathered some that I could remember off the top of my head, but if anyone knows any other posts let me know, and I can add them here.
