My Notes Masterpost

Hey guys! It’s finally that time of year, the time where I post all of my notes from the semester! (I’m actually posting all of my notes from the last three years) Feel free to use and distribute these notes as you please, but please do not repost on Tumblr without giving credit!

High School Notes

Algebra II- These are by far my largest files to date. Both PDFs are a mixture of my own notes and notes that my teacher gave me. 

Physics- I don’t have a whole ton of these notes, but they include key ideas, as well as step-by-step instructions for 1-D and 2-D motion problems.

AP Human Geography- This folder includes chapter outlines, worksheets, articles, and practice tests.

AP World History- FIFTY PAGES WORTH OF APWH NOTES! These are the notes that got me through the exam!

AP Psychology- Chapter outlines + two projects I did. I don’t have a whole lot of notes on this subject because I mostly used a workbook.

Introduction to Digital Technology- These notes are helpful for anyone taking a computer science class, but these do focus fairly heavily on web design.

Digital Design/Web Design- These are from second and third year web design classes, focusing on HTML/CSS.

Sociology- All vocab from a textbook written in the 90s.

Spanish II- I’m gonna be honest here and say I did very poorly in Spanish, but I did at least take a decent number of notes.

College Notes

ENGL1101- These are all Blackboard handouts from my professor. 

ENGL1102- These are all vocabulary terms for all things literature.

HIST2111- EXTREMELY HELPFUL FOR APUSH. This folder is literally hundreds of pages of American History notes from my college lectures.

American Government- Every single vocabulary term from my American Government textbook. These notes were written with Mildliners so I apologize for the light-colored text.

That’s all I have for now! As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions/technical problems with these notes. Remember that what I did may not work for you, but I hope these notes will at the very least help you out come exam time! Good luck and happy studying!

Story of how 6 years of med school paid off in 5 minutes.

I was at the gym at this sports center the other day, doing my workout session. At one point a guy is running into the gym asking if there is any doctor or nurse cos a guy collapsed. I run out with him. When I came over, there was a man laying on the floor. He was not looking good. No pulse,  irregular breathing, pupils dilated. I started CPR. After few minutes ambulance came. I continued to work with them. It was VF, but luckly we got rythm after first electro shock. He was stabile and they took him to hospital. I went back to my training. Tomorrow I got a message from that man’s daughter. She wanted to thank me for saving her fathers life. They told her that if I hadn’t started CPR he wouldn’t be alive when ambulance arrived.

6 years of hard work, studying, sleepless nights, missing on social life, stress…it was all paid off in those 5 minutes of helping that man. When I heard he was alive cos of something I did all those years were suddenly worth all the struggle. That is why we do what we do…to make a difference. That’s why medicine is such beautiful job!!!

Need a boost? Some natural antidepressants:

Turn on the lights. Having everything lit up can help boost your mood, and lamps are often used to treat SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)

Citruses have high levels of vitamin C, which increase dopamine levels in your brain. Dopamine is one of your “feel-good" chemicals  Also, they have high levels of vitamin D, which has been shown to be lacking in people with depression.

Spinach has lots of folic acid, which helps produce serotonin in your brain, another “happy” endorphin.

Red peppers contain lots of vitamin C.

Walnuts, salmon, and mackerel all have lots of Omega-3. A lack of Omega-3 has been tied to depression.

Water. Yep, just water. 60-70% of your body is water, and when you’re dehydrated, it takes a big toll on your health- including your mental health

Dark chocolate can raise serotonin levels and has lots of natural stimulants.

Whole wheat foods have complex carbohydrates, which can increase serotonin levels.

Popcorn also has these carbohydrates that help your serotonin,

Most importantly, sleep. You know how if you don’t get enough sleep, you feel grumpy? Well, if you’re seriously lacking in snooze time, you feel depressed. Your body needs that time to recharge! Try to get at least 8 hours a night, or more if you feel groggy when you wake up.

It’s my understanding that Black voters are aligning with Trump in greater and greater numbers as election day draws near.  This is a picture of Donald Trump with his parents.  For those of you too young to know the significance of what they are wearing, they are Klan robes, an in the Ku Klux Klan, and they were life long members.  Fred Trump, Donald’s father was arrested in 1927 at an event for Klansmen, almost 2 decades before Donald was born.  This picture is towards the end of Fred Trump’s life in 1999.  Fred Trump, Donald Trump’s father, was a member of the Klan for more than SEVENTY years.  Yet, this year, Donald Trump said he didn’t know enough about the Klan to disavow them.  Why would he lie about that? 

I am BEGGING everyone to please repost this and repost it often until election day.  Donald Trump is a liar and a racist.  His not so hidden agenda is to restore white power to America.  Understand that his policies will be detrimental to Black people in ways far greater and more far-reaching than we can comprehend. 

[afroerotik]

Which is precisely why I posted the link to his father’s 1927 arrest at a Klan event.  His father was a Klan member. 

And this is further proof that his father was the same Fred Trump and very well may have been involved in the killing of someone.

Sorry guys, I definitely reblogged this blindly because Trump has done so much crazy shit I wasn’t even skeptical. But this turns out it’s photoshopped. Again, sorry for the blind reblog and spreading of misinformation. He’s a major piece of human garbage, but this photo turns out to be fake.

Motivation vs Discipline: Explained

Btw, if anyone is still confused with the difference between “motivation” and “discipline”, let me put it like this:

• Motivation is incentive; something that encourage you to go on by imagining some form of rewards in the future if you do a certain activity; for example, taking a bath with the motivation of not wanting your crush to smell your bad natural body odor;

• Discipline is habit; it makes you do a certain activity without thinking of a future reward because your brain and body already think it is the normal thing to do; for example, putting cereal into the bowl before the milk – someone who do this everyday would naturally do it without thinking of any sort of reward before doing it.

In studyblrs’ case, having studying schedule based on motivations means you keep having to remind yourself about the rewards of studying hard (i.e proving your hated former classmates wrong, making your parents proud, getting lucrative job, etc). While this may work on some people, it doesn’t sound realistic that your brain somehow can think the same motivations sound rewarding enough when you’re feeling down; and it is dangerous when you’re feeling down when you have five essays due or have an exam in the next week.

Meanwhile, having studying schedule based on discipline means that you keep studying at the scheduled times out of habit, because your body and brain thinks it is the right thing to do at that specific time. It sounds more realistic, because although you’re feeling down at that moment, staring down at the same sentences over and over again, highlighting it, and re-writing it down in your notes will make those sentences remembered by your brain. Or, even if your brain does not remember them later, you will know where the important sentences are, because you already highlighted it. Also, working on your assignments based on scheduled discipline means that although you make horrible essay in the first day, you will have more time to revise it later because working based on discipline means you don’t procrastinate it to the last minutes.

In conclusion, we should all devise studying schedule based on discipline.

(i had an idea, i went with it!)

hi, this is imaginativenotebook and this project is now a theory. with your help, it could become so much more!

the idea is:

a non-profit community fund

people from the community either donate via youcaring to the ‘fund’, or they can buy t shirts from the store 

that money (from the shirts and donations) will be used to hold scholarship contests, in which members of the community will be given a topic to draft an essay about/ create a video/ a project with, and the students will include what they will do with the money if they receive it. 

the staff (it’s only me so far) will judge the submission based on merit and overall quality of the project, and whoever wins will be awarded either a grant they can use for college, money they can use to pursue their dream (ex: going to italy) or an item they believe will benefit their future careers/lives (ex: wants to be a photographer, camera)

this idea will definitely require some staff, since it’s only me right now. if you would be as kind as to consider joining the team, apply here  

to sum it up, this is a community fund that will benefit us all in the long run. 

any questions or comments can be sent here

i think that’s it! i know it’s a really rough draft, but i think this idea has some potential! thanks for listening c:

Wound Healing Wound healing is a natural restorative response to tissue injury. Healing is the interaction of a complex cascade of cellular events that generates resurfacing, reconstitution, and restoration of the tensile strength of injured skin.

Healing is a systematic process, traditionally explained in terms of 4 overlapping classic phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. While platelets play a crucial role in clot formation during hemostasis, inflammatory cells débride injured tissue during the inflammatory phase. Epithelialization, fibroplasia, and angiogenesis occur during the proliferative phase. Meanwhile, granulation tissue forms and the wound begins to contract. Finally, during the maturation phase, collagen forms tight cross-links to other collagen and with protein molecules, increasing the tensile strength of the scar.
