Just passed a month mark of the semester and looking at this assignment spreadsheet always got me thinking, "what have I gotten myself into?". My forensics class meets once a week and so far we are at least 2 or 3 chapters behind the schedule because of the holiday and a snow day. Another holiday is coming up again and I can already tell that this class is going to cram. 🤦♀️💀 Also, we havent done a single quiz or assignment in that class yet and it's making me worried. 🥴🤡
20 lessons for 2020
2019 has been a pretty challenging year for me. I started it being scared and anxious about everything, and I ended it single, with new career goals and surrounded by my best friends. Here are 20 lessons (100% tested and approved) that I learned along the way!
1. People only show their best sides to you but you would be amazed by how many people share the same feelings as you
2. If you feel like you can’t be yourself around a certain group of people, then you’re hanging out with the wrong group
3. Notice people who make you feel energized and happy VS people who drain all your energy. It’ll change your life.
4. You don’t need to justify yourself when you say « no » to something
5. However, you should say yes more often to spontaneous proposals and experiences
6. Honesty is a sign of respect
7. If you don’t give your 100% to something then you’ll be less likely to get that 100% back
8. Choose flaws over qualities. Your dream job also consists in not-so-dreamy parts, and this is what you should consider when choosing your career. The same applies with friends/lovers.
9. The person you sit in front of at the library can become one of your best friends (true story for me)
10. 99% of the scenarios you imagine in your head will never happen
11. Changing starts within YOUR thoughts and how you react to them.
12. Just because you’re offended it doesn’t mean that you’re right
13. Keep a critical eye to everything you hear/see.
14. Being vulnerable is a sign of strenght and not a sign of weakness
15. You can cope with a lot more than you think
16. Your life can totally change in a year and you can be a whole different person only if you’re willing too
17. Cherish what you already have in your life, happiness lies in gratitude
18. Wanting to be perfect for others will only make you seem a boring and hypocrite person
19. The habits you adopt now will define the person you’ll be in the future
20. Be curious. Read books, listen to podcasts, travel (even in your country), and talk to new people

during exams i used to get really stressed out about not having enough time to study between, so i designed myself a lil study planner that maps out my week
it has a section for events, a checklist, and a time tracker so i can tell myself to stop freaking out :) if anyone wants the pdf, lemme know!
“I know that all of this is going to pay off. I just have to stay consistent. It’s not always easy but this is all going to work out in the end.”

T'was a tough semester. ): Also, I NEED TO SEE MY BIO GRADE. PLEASE PUT THE FINAL RESULTS PROF! ASAP. 😣😭
So I know I have been very, very inactive for several months and that is because I was busy with my classes, work, and dancing as well. I haven’t opened tumblr since spring semester 2017 lol I took a summer class and worked full time at the pharmacy. Now this fall I took 5 classes, worked part-time, and is currently in a dance crew as well.
Anywho, here’s a video of me busting some moves and dancing my stress and worries away 😂

Advice from a uni student
I’ve never really tried to give studying tips before but since so many are starting school, I thought I’d give my two cents as a hopeful second year uni student. Some are probably pretty obvious, but don’t take it for granted, think about it seriously instead.
1. Give it your all. Don’t half ass it because when you get a bad grade you’re going to be regretting watching cat videos for the whole semester. Even if you hate the subject, you need to get a good grade to pass.
2. Ideally, do your readings every week. If you can’t manage, or it’s a long boring chapter, try to at least find a video which explains the subject, and take notes again from the video (make sure said source is reputable, always).
3. When classes are over and it’s time to do readings or homework, if you’re feeling tired don’t force yourself! Unless it’s the week before exams, or a day before the deadline, just take a brief nap and get back to work. If you’re too tired you won’t do your work/ half ass it.
(Try not to leave homework/ assignments for last minute, it’s going to stress you out. A LOT)
4. Compile your bibliography as you’re writing your assignment!!!! Learn how to do footnotes properly, it will save you so much time later + grades are assigned to the bibliography too.
5. Take notes in class, and go to class even if attendance isn’t required. And actually refer to said notes before the exam because they will really help you. ( don’t 100% depend on them, unless you have good notes and you really just want to pass)
6. I’m sure we all have those days when we just can’t bring ourselves to study. Especially two days before an exam. It happens to the best of us. A method that works for me is to try to meditate, or some light exercise. Looking at studyblr pictures doesn’t mean studying.
7. Try to take classes at times when you are less likely to be productive, so that you leave the time when you’re most productive to when you have to study or work on an assignment. (This kind of advice really depends on the kind of person you are. If you are prone to skipping class if you do this, just skip this advice)
8. Lastly, keep some fruit bars or easy to eat food with you constantly. You’re gonna get random food cravings and they won’t let you study. So prepare for that event.
I’m sure there’s plenty more things that I haven’t included, but many other studyblrs have done these advice posts so I’m sure you’ll find what you need. I apologize for not including advice for working students, but since I am not one I can’t give you advice. This has all been advice based on my experience this past year in uni.
If you like these posts or want more tips just let me know ^.^
Been there done most of that, and trust me it wasn't fun, so READ THIS! 😂

Dear Fellow Students
To start off here’s a rant cause I want drama lol
I am back to working again and so my weekends are basically gone, not that they existed anyways but 😂 my point is, I am a full time student, working part time, balancing my studies, responsibilities and some of my hobbies at the same time. All these things are going to take a toll on me whether it’s on my health or my sleep. It is getting difficult to keep up physically and mentally. I have had occassions where my brain was not functioning such as leaving my car keys inside the car.. *criicket sounds* Like who does that? (Actually it happened more that twice already) I always say it is “getting difficult” every semester but look where I am at: I am at it again because I overcame it last time. Haha
So dear students,
As long as we’re alive, the amount of sacrifices, mental and physical exhaustion or whatever struggles right now are not going to vanish forever. The diffilculties, we are currently experiencing right now is a necessity. A necessity for us to survive not just for today, for this month nor this year but for the upcoming, bigger and more strenuous future. (Not being pessimistic here, but I am trying to be realistic) Stop telling yourself “this is hard” because it is NOT going to help. Instead, try changing your mindset! For example, “this is challeging, but I am going to push through”.
High school students, especially to the college students! You are doing very well, you are not alone. I am very proud of you.
Goodluck with your studies! 😁 P.s. you can pm me anytime if you need to talk to someone. ❤ I love you all!

“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.”
