Now that college students no longer have access to their libraries in the same way we used to and have to do most of our learning at home it would be just terrible if we all knew about https://1lib.eu/ a website which has books on basically every topic ever available for free including college textbooks. Imagine if people were researching their thesis without paying for it. 

DO NOT USE THIS SITE AND DEFINITELY DO NOT NOT TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS SITE, THEY MIGHT START DOING THESIS RESEARCH FOR FREE OR JUST START READING BOOKS THEY FOUND ON THERE FOR FUN BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE INTERESTING. This would be terrible :( :(

Reblog to spread the word so that everyone knows to avoid this site!

[sraithpics]

Hey everyone they have NOT moved to:

https://2lib.org/

Do NOT enter this url to find free books :)

[sraithpics]

Some more websites to definitely not look up:

pdfdrive.com for 79,081,664 eBooks for free

core.ac.uk for the world’s largest collection of open access research papers

citationsy.com which is a free referencing tool for making citations

archive.org a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more

elephind.com for free newspaper articles from around the world

don’t tell your friends :)

My working area. I promise nicer pictures when the light is better and I’m not too lazy to pick up my camera.

i think university is about walking around campus with a tote bag (or backpack) and trying to look purposeful and busy. and whoever manages to look the most purposeful and busy wins

Look I clown veganism often enough but really, truly, don’t ever fucking feed somebody something without their knowledge or consent. It’s hugely fucked up and not OK.

[gotinterest]

also if someone hasn’t eaten meat in a while… or ever… they will get incredibly sick if they just start eating meat again.

[penny-bites]

|| Please don’t do this. Not just with vegans/ vegetarians, but with ANYONE you don’t know very well. You never know what they may or may not be allergic to, their abilities o(or lack thereof) to digest certain things, dietary needs and restrictions, religious beliefs requiring them to abstain from the consumption of certain foods and about a thousand other things.

Some people are legitimately allergic to thd proteins in certain meats and can’t even eat anything cooked in the same pan as X meat product/s.

I’m vegan but couldn’t care less if others aren’t, not an overwhelming number of (not all, just alot, unfortunately) non vegans find things like this funny.

[jhscdood]

Quick reminder: Sometimes people say “I’m vegan” or “I’m vegetarian” because its easier/faster/begets fewer annoying questions than the longer explanation.

As an epidemiologist I can list a few of the more annoying longer explanations that no one wants to have to explain to every person who ever offers them food:

- You drank water contaminated with giardia, which gave you 3 weeks of diarrhea followed by 3 years of lactose intolerance

- You were bitten by a Lone Star Tick and developed an allergy to beef and pork because the Lone Star Tick is a bastard

- You are Jewish and the meat isn’t kosher, but you don’t want to say that because antisemitism is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry

- You are Muslim and the meat isn’t halal, but you don’t want to say that because Islamophobia is A Thing and you don’t want to get bombarded with questions about the Middle East while you’re hungry

- You are on a restricted diet for medical reasons and don’t want to get bombarded with questions about your medical history while you’re hungry

- You are on a restricted diet for reasons that *are nobody’s business* and don’t want to get pulled into Potentially Triggering Diet Talk while you’re hungry.

Listen. Food can be very very complicated for people, and a very very very sensitive subject. Respect people’s food restrictions. None of it is your business.

today we’re making vanilla waffles and putting on a sweater and socks to curl up in bed and read textbooks with a big mug of tea.

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.

[ohhjenesuispas]

I will reblog this every time.

[papayapetal]

Literally this.

[animalwondersmontana]

Getting dirty, asking questions, being unapologetically enthusiastic about things, going overboard on projects. These are a few of my favorite things.

[living-in-an-infinite-fiction]

This is so heartbreaking, but so true. 

[jadelyn]

And it’s even more heartbreaking when you see the transition and how performative it is.

I was a camp counselor at a science/nature camp when I was 16, for a bunch of 10 and 11 yr old girls. And one day while we were waiting around for the naturalist to come get us to go on the day’s hike, the boys cabin we were grouped with was exploring the area and overturned a log and found a salamander. One of the boys picked it up and they brought it over.

My girls all went “ewww, gross, keep it away!”

…right up until I said “whoa, cool, can I see it?”

This boy handed me the salamander and all of a sudden my girls were clustering around. They wanted to hold it. They were asking questions about it. They had stories of other times they’d seen a lizard or caught a frog or something. A couple of them went with some of the boys to look under another log and see if they could find another one.

All they had needed was permission to be curious, to show interest instead of disgust. And as soon as someone they were looking to for cues on “how to be a girl” showed interest, as soon as they didn’t feel like they had to perform socially-acceptable girliness and pretend to be grossed out in order to gain adult approval, all that natural curiosity and the fascination most kids have for the natural world just came bubbling right up.

As a female engineer, I have to reblog this.

[eintsein]

Absolutely had to reblog this and add that in Indonesia

Girls were found to have a higher interest that boys in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; and

Girls outperform boys in STEM subjects and score higher on numeracy and literacy tests; but

Only 12% of graduates with STEM majors are women; and

Only 30% of the workforce in the STEM sector is female

I gotta ask, how do people, like, do stuff???

[maulusque]

here’s what i’ve figured out so far:

-gotta have eat first

-gotta sleep enough first

(seriously so many days i’m like “i have all afternoon I’ma Do a Thing” and then i just kinda buzz around and do Nothing and think “WHY” and then i’m like “oh yeah i’m really fuckening tired”)

-gotta be Excited About It (ADHD brain only does things if they’re Literally the Most Interesting Thing Happening Right Now) (so like, hype yourself up to work on a project, or think about how happy you’ll be with a cleaner room/all those chores done)

-gotta have small, doable first step (like, “get cloth from fabric drawer” or “open google docs”

-FUCK distractions (computer is in drawer, phone is Off)

-Engage the Senses (if task needs Brain, play vague background Music, if task needs No Brain, listen to audiobook/podcast)

-maybe set time limit so i don’t get lost??? e.g. i have a little egg timer that i use because the ticking isn’t distracting but is enough to remind me that Time is a Thing that is Passing Right Now

-gotta have Self Awareness and Thinky about the Moment (get into the habit of Consciously Noticing what you’re doing at the moment, so you’re more likely to go “wait, this isn’t what i wanted to be doing” and be able to redirect)

-be willing to redirect and try to do something else if whatever you want to do Just Isn’t Happening

-DON’T beat yourself up for only doing part of something, or failing entirely- all that does is make your brain associate “trying to do stuff” with “well that SUCKED”. Which means you don’t want to try again. Tell urself u did good for trying, and if it didn’t work, try again later, or figure out why it didn’t work and try a different way. Reward yourself for trying

this is what i’ve figured out about cajoling the Thinky No Worky Brain into Doing Stuff. it’s not 100% reliable, especially if I forget to do some of these things (like SLEEP), but it’s what i got, ya know??

[its-captain-sir]

I wasn’t actually expecting any answers when I made that post but damn this is really helpful, thank you <3

Hands down the funniest thing I have ever heard at college was overhearing the following sentence at a conference:

“I asked him what his pronouns were and he said ‘uh, PhD.’”

[model-theory]

you will refer to me as DOCTOR and as DOCTOR alone!!!

23.05.19 // 7am challenge: day one

Day one of waking up at 7am went well! I made a lovely brekky, watched Jess and Gabriel, just made it to class after making a coffee in my new Frank Green cup, met with professors, studied a lot by myself and with friends, made a delicious katsu chicken dinner and watched Detective Pikachu with friends (it was so good, highly recommend!). Now to prepare for bedtime so I can be well-rested for tomorrow :)

ig: @fightostudy to follow my 7am challenge (my version of the 5am challenge)

gentle reminder

in the future, whether it be months or years away, nothing bothering you right now will matter, things will keep moving, and they will get better

Can we all just take a second to appreciate how fucking powerful and strong women are? Like damn

hello!! (studyblr/langblr intro post)

hi there!

I’ve been lurking around the community for a while, but this is my first time trying out original content. Let me introduce myself

about me

I’m 15 going on 16

I live in Athens, Greece, and my mother tongue is *you guessed it* Greek.

I am also fluent in English (C2 certificate owner yay), really bad at German and currently learning Mandarin.

The main content you’ll see here is me studying mandarin, ancient Greek, history and occasionally other subjects.

I’m thinking about majoring in either law, English or psychology.

I also enjoy making visual art and reading.

I’m also a Slytherin!

If you need any help on any of the following

English vocab

Modern Greek

Ancient Greek

don’t be afraid to contact me. I look forward on talking with any of you!

If we have anything in common, goals, target languages or hogwarts house lol, reblog so I can follow you!

Skills Lab #1

I learnt how to manipulate type I GIC, type II GIC, and composite resin. Working time for type I GIC is kind of short, so we had to work fast before it sets!

We used light-cure type for composite resin, and honestly? The best part is when I got to shoot the light beam B)

[mirustdy]

Hello!

Hi all, I'm Nurul, an 18 years old dental student :)

I'm on my first year at Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Indonesia.

I don't see much dental studyblr around, so I decided to start one! I had had this blog since highschool, but I haven't post any original content since.

I will post photos of my lab activities (here we refer to itas 'skills lab') and other classes.

English isn't my mother language, so please bear with me if my grammar is wonky at times :)

Nice to meet y'all!
