Hurricane Irma

This hurricane has officially hit a category 5. To give you an idea of the strength of this storm:

Harvey was a category 4.

Katrina and Andrew were a category 5 and Irma is at the moment is stronger than both of them. This hurricane is going to cause absolute destruction when it hits. Puerto Rico (especially this beautiful isla)  Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic and Florida are all in it’s path. Here’s a checklist if you can afford these supplies.

Food

Bottled Water- a week’s supply minimum (One gallon daily per person)

Non perishable items that don’t require cooking ( Tuna, nuts, fruit cups, Cereal bars, peanut butter, crackers, dried fruits, canned vegetables, chili)

Dry pet food 

Packaged juices 

Powdered or canned milk 

Supplies

DREAMers, don’t stop dreaming

You’ve probably heard by now that President Trump and his Attorney General Jeff Sessions have decided to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Originally created by President Obama, the program provided hope and protection to nearly a million children of undocumented immigrants, many of whom have growing up knowing no other nation besides the United States of America.

In their hearts, in their lives, DREAMers are Americans. And they are human beings. The cruelty of deporting them to an unfamiliar land is matched only by the recklessness of doing so. Immigration is vital to our identity, our economy, and our culture. To extinguish the dreams of DREAMers is not only unkind, but fundamentally un-American.

So, Tumblr, here are some ways you can help each other out:

Call Congress and tell them to pass the DREAM Act. There’s a six-month delay before Trump’s order kicks in, and that’s six months for Congress to get their act together on this. Light a fire under them, will you?

Join an event near you, and connect with others IRL who are fighting for what’s right.

Don’t forget to take care of yourself, especially if you’re one of the people directly affected by this. You can’t just fight—you also have to heal.

Tell your story. Tag it #DREAMer. Let people know what you’ve experienced, and let other DREAMers know they’re not alone.

And if you could use some perspective on what it’s like for a DREAMer right now, please read this Answer Time session with an undocumented immigrant who took your questions on her situation, her hopes, and her fears. It’ll open your eyes, it’ll open your heart. It’s what the world needs right now.

Stay strong, Tumblr.

hello seo. I created my studyblr a while ago but I do not feel very motivated anymore. I have the feeling that all studyblrs need is a MacBook, muji stuff, very pretty stationary, handwriting, super neat homework, bullet journals etc, etc, and it makes me go crazy. I don't have the feeling of having a chance to be noticed.

you don’t need a single bit of that shit to be a studyblr.

i’ll say it as many times as i need to. sure, i might sound super hypocritical, but a studyblr is not comprised of the stationery and the amount of money that they have. instead, all a studyblr needs to be is a student that wants to pursue their dreams and their goals. you don’t have to have certain grades or certain requirements to be a studyblr, and if anybody tries to tell you otherwise, they’re wrong. if the studyblr community starts to feel toxic for you, then i suggest that you take a break from the community for a while. i’ve taken short breaks too + it did wonders for me.

Hi i am starting ib in two weeks. Do you have any tips?

hello!! i have. a few tips

time management is so important!! i procrastinated more than i should have, and i still got my diploma, but. i suffered so much. the quality of my work suffered too aahh h. but yeah make sure you do things in advance and always leave time for revision

do CAS consistently (((lol))) – like, if you’re cooking or something. just be like. wow this is some Creative initiative i’m showing right now

do reflections consistently too please god

ask for help if you need it!! you might feel dumb asking for help sometimes but u know what else makes you feel dumb? getting bad grades that’s right

develop some A+ writing skills bc i think almost all of the IB exams sans math/sciences are essay based or have some kind of essay component

sometimes taking subjects you’re worse at at SL is harder than taking them at HL since the pace of the class tends to be faster to get through all the content necessary in time for the exam, so you might end up needing to study even harder for it;; but taking it at HL means doing it for two years instead of one and getting it over with… . (basically me @ chem)

writing your EE on something that genuinely interests u will make the process of writing it so much more enjoyable (less painful)

eat breakfast

drink water

get good amounts of sleep

celebrate every time you turn in an IA

remember you paid for the exams to motivate yourself to do well

good luck with IB!! :’)

some (more) tips for incoming college freshmen, based on the mistakes i made during my first year

a continuation of this post, because i actually made this many mistakes

✎ utilize your professors’ office hours. the best help you can get is directly from the one person who knows how your assignments will be graded and what will be on your tests. and, in classes with a lot of students, getting the professor to know who you are is always a plus

✎ be friendly and talk to people! there are so many interesting people you can get to know on a college campus, and it’s actually pretty unlikely that somebody will be rude or judge you for trying to have a conversation

✎ if you found yourself hiding aspects of yourself in high school to ‘fit in’ with everyone else, college might be the perfect time to let that go. don’t be afraid to express yourself more than you might have before. after all, you’re with completely new people in a completely new place (probably). it’s the perfect opportunity to start over and be yourself, as cliche as that sounds

✎ at the beginning of the semester, make friends/exchange phone numbers with other students in your classes. it’s sooo helpful to be able to text somebody who is in your class if you need help. having this connection can also be useful if you know you’re going to miss a class and you’d like to get the notes from someone!

✎ don’t be afraid of the library. it’s a great environment for studying, it has computers and printers you can use, it’s probably fairly large so you can find somewhere (mostly) away from other people, and it’s most likely open really late! it’s just overall a great resource

✎ if you have a problem with your roommate, talk to them about it. don’t ignore it until you can’t stand each other. i didn’t personally make this mistake last year, but i know multiple people who did

✎ if you ever have a question about your degree requirements, dropping a class, choosing/changing your major, etc. don’t hesitate to contact your academic advisor! they typically know what they are talking about, so just email them! it can’t hurt!

✎ on the topic of changing your major, please don’t stress too much if you start to question your major (if you have one already) or the path you’re on. it’s okay to realize the subject you originally wanted to study isn’t what you want to study anymore. it’s only your first year! you’re absolutely allowed to change your mind

✎ please don’t be afraid to use your school’s counseling center if it has one. take advantage of the free professional help. it’s so much better to talk to someone than to suffer alone

some tips for incoming college freshmen, based on the mistakes i made during my first year

✎ don’t get in the habit of skipping class for no reason. really. it might seem harmless (especially if attendance isn’t required) but it will most likely end up affecting you negatively. just go to class.

✎ try to be as organized as possible. organization can’t harm you and there are so many potential benefits to keeping your school and personal life in order.

✎ don’t be afraid to enjoy yourself. honestly, what’s the point if school is only ever miserable. there are so many ways to enjoy your experience at college, so take a break from your studies every once in a while. otherwise, you might find yourself hating school.

✎ that being said, don’t spend too much time socializing and partying. or, at least, don’t choose it over your school work altogether. you don’t want the social aspect of college to overpower the academic aspect. after all, you are most likely paying a lot of money to study there, and ignoring your studies will only harm you. find a balance.

✎ even if your classes don’t start until 2 in the afternoon, wake up at a reasonable time. it might be difficult if you’re used to sleeping in very late, but the morning is the perfect time to get some things done, and sleeping in until 10 minutes before your class does waste a lot of time. plus, you’ll probably do better in class if you didn’t just wake up.

✎ naps are good though! as long as you don’t nap during the whole day, napping is very beneficial.

✎ don’t get too involved in drama with other people. if your friend group becomes draining and exhausting because of drama, recognize that it might be better for you to take a step back.

✎ don’t get caught up in the idea of having the perfect “college experience.” do what you want to do, not what everyone else does or what you believe you’re supposed to do. there are different types of college experiences, and you don’t have to, for example, join a sorority/fraternity, go to parties, get drunk/high, etc. just because you think you’re supposed to as a college student.

✎ try to participate in class. i failed at this miserably because of my fear of talking to people lol, but it is best to be more involved in class discussions if you can. this is especially important when participation is part of your grade.

✎ if you have a roommate, don’t expect to be best friends with them. you can, but it’s not always best. in my experience, it tends to work best if you’re friendly with them, but you also have different groups of people you hang out with. this is based on preference though. 

✎ get off of campus sometimes! depending on where you live, there may be a bunch of things you can do in your town with friends. you don’t want to always feel stuck at your school. that being said, there are probably a lot of things to do on campus too. 

✎ if you have a source of income, try to be reasonable with your spending. you should definitely save some money for emergencies. and the money you do spend should be spent reasonably. this isn’t to say you should never spend money on things that you enjoy, but you definitely should have some sort of budget, or you might find yourself wasting all of your money on 2am trips to denny’s (if you’re me, that is). 

✎ sometimes you may need to be alone. don’t feel bad telling your friends ‘no’ every once in a while. you may find it easiest to work alone, or you might just wanna relax without the pressure of being with other people. that’s okay! find a place on campus where you can be away from everyone sometimes.

edit: i have made a part two of this post which you can find here

A reminder that all the best people were once beginners. If you want to become really good at something, keep practicing even when you don’t see progress immediately. You can’t see it, but you’re improving a little bit every time you practice. Keep going and one day you’ll be amazing at it.

hey y’all, i’m transgender, and as much as i appreciate the ‘i stand with you’ thing that’s being passed around, if you want to make a difference, i’d way rather y’all donate 5 bucks to the transgender law center, which provides resources to make advances for transgender policies and laws. not to be bitter, while the sentiment of reblogging a flag is appreciated, it does end up feeling hollow.

BASIC KOREAN SENTENCE STRUCTURE

♡ in korean, it is important to use the correct sentence structure, or your sentences may seem really confusing :

-> in english : Subject Verb Object -> in korean : Subject Object Verb

now, let’s look at some examples!

we are gonna use this simple sentence : “i bought a book”, in korean it would be : “i a book bought”

저는 책을 샀어요 책 = book 샀어요(past tense) from the verb 사다 = to buy it’s really different, right?

⚠ the object ALWAYS comes BEFORE the verb, and the verb is ALWAYS at the END of the sentence. ⚠

♡ locations are also used BEFORE verbs :

“저는 학교에 가요” i go to school 학교 = school 에= location particle (to) 가요 (present tense) from the verb 가다 = to go

“저는 학교에서 공부해요” i study at school 학교 = school 에서 = location particle (at) 공부해요 (present tense) from the verb 공부하다 = to study

“저는 집에 잤어요” i slept at home 집 = home 에 = location particle (at) 잤어요 (past tense) from the verb 자다 = to sleep

⚠ you can put the time before or after the subject though :

both of these sentences mean “today I will eat at home” :

before -> 오늘 저는 집에서 먹을 거예요 after -> 저는 오늘 집에서 먹을 거예요 오늘 = today 집 = home 에서 = location particle (at) 먹을 거예요 (future tense) from the verb 먹다 = to verb

“tomorrow, i will study at school” before -> 내일 저는 학교에서 공부할 거예요 after -> 저는 내일 학교에서 공부할 거예요 내일 = tomorrow 학교 = school 에서 = location particle (at) 공부하다 = to study ~ㄹ 거예요 (future tense)

♡ adverbs are added before verbs : 저는 열심히 공부해요 I study hard 열심히 = hard

and finally, adjectives work the same way as they do in english! just put them before the noun they describe :

매운 라면 = spicy ramen 매운 = spicy 라면 = ramen

예쁜 여자 = beautiful woman 예쁜 = beautiful 여자 =  woman

[pharmstudies]

A lot of people have been asking me to make this and I finally had the time to do so. I couldn’t find a lot of resources though so it’s not that long. If you have any questions feel free to ask me! I’ll try to help as much as I can.
