How to make your essay longer

Change…

‘this means’ to ‘this actively illustrates that’

‘in conclusion to’ to ‘to sum up everything that has been stated’

‘because’ to ‘the reason for this occurence’

‘so’ to ‘thus, the conclusion is that’

‘and’ to ‘as well as’

‘linking’ to ‘bridging the gap between…’

I’m studying at Panera (shocking) and I’m super pissed because they aren’t serving any tea today. Don’t they know I NEED it when I study?!

12.1.2018 | My study environment looks a little different today because I’m at my husband’s med school building with a group of our friends. For a basement, this place isn’t half bad! While I’m plowing through church history notes they’re getting in some much needed ping-pong practice.

Good afternoon! This is a guide to how I take my notes; I hope you find this helpful! :)

how to get a white background on your photos without a white desk! things I used: my chem notes and adobe photoshop cc 2018

1) Use your selection tool of choice on photoshop to outline the subject of your image. I used the pen tool because it creates smooth lines and curves, but you can use magnetic lasso or smart lasso if you want to save time or if you don’t know how to use the pen tool. 

2) If using the pen tool, make the path into a selection. Once you have a selection, invert it and delete the background (make it transparent).

3) Create a new layer, place it below the original layer, and fill it with the color you want. I wanted there to be some contrast between my notes and the background, so I made it a light gray. If you want the photo to look more realistic, apply a subtle vignette effect to the background layer. My instagram feed is adjusted to bright white so I left it as is so it could blend. 

other things I did in editing this photo:

1) I created a curves adjustment layer and set the white balance + made the dark text darker

2) I painted black over the layer mask in places where my image was super washed out. I had a bunch of chem to do so i didn’t do a super thorough job oops. You can also change the opacity of the black to only partially remove the layer mask or use the dodge and burn tools to change the exposure in certain places.

if you don’t have adobe photoshop + don’t want to pay:

1) There are a bunch of free editing softwares that are similar such as gimp and paint.net. Photoshop CS2 is also available open source (but it’s a very old program so expect bugs and so on)

2) Snapseed is a great phone app that can do a bunch of similar things with selective filters! That’s what i use to edit most of my photos because I usually don’t have the time to do it in photoshop. 

3) Try to freeload off a friend who has adobe cc (what I did oops) or talk to a design/photography teacher at your school to see if they can give you a license to the programs for free

04.16.2018 || so much to do, so little time😪.

as you can see, these are not the prettiest photos, I do not own that pretty stationery everybody in this community seems to have, and this is definetely nowhere near to ‘aesthetic’, but, to celebrate that I hit 2k followers (i started this blog like two months ago wtf?? you are amazing guys!❤️) here goes my first original post.

Finally, I would like to thank @emmastudies for having such helpful printables, bless you!

If this ends up being a complete failure please pretend it never happened😂

PS: I’ve been thinking about doing blog rates, please let me know what do you think!

bare basics study tips

for when you just can’t be fucked and your life is more than studying

disclaimer: these are based on what worked for me in my university degree studying education. these will not really work for maths/science/languages based subjects which require a lot more practice, but will be useful for subjects with a lot of essays/assignments rather than quizzes/tests.

going to lectures is great but I also know that sometimes your tute is cancelled and it takes an hour or more to get to uni and it’s just not worth waking up for that one 10am lecture. that’s fine! give yourself a sleep in! notes and textbooks and recordings are always there for you!

keep track of which concepts and terms were learnt each week - if you skip a lecture, at least check what the lecture is about! skim through the notes, maybe list down any new vocab for later. put this on a sticky note on your unit of study outline! you’ll be able to refer to this later when it comes to assignments. this takes five minutes! no excuses!

during a lecture, make notes! a lot of people on studyblr are saying that you should make sure you’re listening and not just copying down the slides/whatever your lecturer is saying, but that’s not for everyone! try to listen, of course, but sometimes it takes more than the three minutes they devote to a concept to understand it, and it’s much easier to revise that in written form at home than trying to understand it during the time the lecturer has already moved on to something else. sometimes your lecturer’s notes are good, but most of the time they at least need annotating to get everything down.

read over your notes after the lecture - maybe on the train home, as you’re waiting for your coffee, whenever, just make sure you can read the words you scribbled down. put a star or highlight anything you’ll need to revise later for handwriting or content reasons.

don’t bother recording the lecture - first of all, a lot of universities either provide recordings or prohibit them. secondly, as if you’re going to be bothered to listen to that again. it’s boring and you already sat through it once, don’t kid yourself. if there’s a concept or something specific you kind of missed/don’t understand in your notes/want to go over again - use your lecturer’s email address or office hours!! that’s what they’re there for. chances are, if you didn’t understand it hearing it once or reading notes on it, hearing it again isn’t going to be what helps. get them to explain it to you differently, or provide more examples. they’re there to help, you’re not alone in this.

essays don’t require all that much information - this sounds a bit nuts but hear me out, essays usually are assigned to test your understanding of content from 2-3 weeks of lectures, as well as your essay writing/argument and research skills. look at your unit of study outline about two weeks out from the due date. figure out which weeks the content is from - look at key words. go back to your notes from those weeks - this is the time to ask classmates for clarification and email your lecturer about anything you have highlighted/starred, as well as actually make an effort to revise the notes for the classes you missed. I’d mention in your email that you’re asking because it had come up as you’re preparing to write your essay - this will encourage them to frame their answer in a way that’s helpful and relevant to your assignment.

then, look at the readings for those weeks (probably for the first time, am I right?). read the abstract (if there is one), the introduction and the conclusion. make some dot points in a notebook/wherever under the author’s name, so you  can easily reference which reading is which. 

that’s usually more than enough information for you to be able to draw up a thesis and start formulating an argument. outline your essay and then send it to your lecturer! ask if it looks like you’re on the right track! that’s what they’re there for! try to do this about a week before the deadline. then it’s just the painful matter of getting quotes from those readings (and any others you found that support your argument - google scholar is your friend) and fleshing it out.

this got longer than I expected but anyway - it’s okay not to study all the time! it’s okay to spend more time on a concept heavy subject like maths or science and let content heavy humanities subjects drop by the wayside! you’re not alone and you can still get good marks without rewriting your notes and doing mindmaps every day! enjoy your uni life outside of class!

Hello! So watching studytubers has always been my favorite pastime, but I always want to find more new ones out there. So, I thought that I would make a masterpost of all of the studytubers out there, big and small. If you would like to add yours to the list, please comment it below and I will edit it for you! Lol, I had to explore the depths of tumblr/youtube to find this many people, and I’m probably missing a lot.

Even though StudyTubers can be fun to watch, please remember that the content that they create is to help you in your studies, not to keep you from your studies. ^^
