this is a breakdown of how i go about doing research for my essays! do keep in mind i am an arts student, so i don’t know how well this method carries over into other disciplines. check out my other guides to writing essays here and here!

“in this essay i will explore” memes piss me off because it implies y’all still using first person pronouns when writing academically. childish ass

[prismatic-bell]

In this essay, this writer will explore the implications of pretending that one’s own personal view is not part of one’s essay, and the inaccessibility of academia related to established custom of artificial detachment.

[shredsandpatches]

In this essay, I will demonstrate that the blanket ban on first-person pronouns in high-school and some university English classes is poorly understood and hastily adopted as a result. I will further illustrate that it is a mere substitute for explaining to inexperienced writers that excessive use of phrases like “I think” or “I believe” is unnecessary and rhetorically weakens academic writing, and that opinions expressed in an essay are already assumed to be those of the author. Finally, I will address strategies for effectively conveying that information to students, who often find it difficult to grasp.

In this essay, passive voice will be used throughout in order to distance the work done from any researchers, or, in reality, kind of imply all experiments were done by magical lab gremlins and the results were simply recorded.

in this essay, enlightenment will descend upon you without the agency of any living being. you will know things, yet know not how you know.

prepare yourself. it begins.

to absolutely nobody’s surprise, i’ve procrastinated too much and now i have to work my ass off at an ungodly pace to get my undergrad thesis done in roughly three weeks time. wish me luck

[constellatedlove]

it’s easy for hobbies to turn into things we avoid because of the pressure we put on ourselves. but i promise, u have nothing to prove. if u enjoy drawing, draw!! it doesn’t have to be museum worthy. ur baking doesn’t need to be master chef worthy every time you do it. hobbies are hobbies because they make you happy and u enjoy doing them. there is no pressure for u to become a professional in everything u enjoy; enjoy it for the lack of pressure. try and let yourself participate in things without tying ur worth to the final products. if it makes you happy, anything that comes from that is worth it.

Why it’s important to know how YOU study

During my first few years of secondary school, I struggled to keep up. I studied everything I needed to, understood all the concepts and participated in class. Yet, I still couldn’t seem to achieve the grades I so desperately wanted. 

I created a schedule I could barely keep up with but still tried to anyways, pulled several all-nighters and annotated every textbook with a range of different highlighters until I couldn’t recognise which pieces of information were actually important.

Why? Simply because I modelled other people’s study methods in the hopes that they would be just as effective for me. 

The end result? My mental health started deteriorating, I was severely sleep deprived, the information I tried so hard to reinforce failed to do so and my social life was barely existent. Burnout was inevitable.

Now, several years later, after experimenting with numerous study methods and figuring out which ones produced good results and which ones wouldn’t work for me, I’ve learned quite a few things:

annotating doesn’t really help me reinforce the information effectively, I’d probably forget the information not long after that session

all nighters are a huge no-no and I work best when I start early in the morning

study groups rarely work for me since my friends and I almost always steer off course

and so much more!

This didn’t come very easily and I personally didn’t enjoy the time-consuming process of going through all those study methods, but it was definitely worth it. It saved me a lot of time during preparation for my IGCSE examinations and reduced a bit of the overall stress. Further to this, since I had actually tested and tried out these methods, I was confident which helped ease my anxiety.

Overall, I highly recommend experimenting with different study methods. Everyone has different abilities, so it is important to determine what works for you and what doesn’t. You might actually be more productive when working in a group or waking up early may not be your thing. That’s completely fine. Studying methods should be tailored to each student. There is no set method when learning how to effectively study. Please remember that!!! :))

sending love and wishing you all a wonderful day!
