It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a sleep-deprived student in possession of deadlines, must be in want of coffee.

I did something a little different for my greek mythology spread: layering! I used to love layering, but it just isn’t my thing anymore. 

I still had a ton of fun with this spread, and I hope you all like it! 

[theflemface-deactivated20210507]

Apparently this is funny. Do you find this funny? I don’t see anything funny about a sentient being losing their child to someone else and trying to fight back for them. Pretty sad actually because you know after this the people, as always, got their way and ripped a baby from their mother.

I see videos like these and it really makes me wonder how all these meateaters can say that mother cows dont have good maternal instincts

[stephtriestostudystuff]

^ especially since cows used to be so well known for their maternal instincts that ancient middle eastern mother goddess were often dipicted as women with cow horns (ie, Isis and Hathor) or in the case of Hathor, sometimes as a LITERAL COW in order symbolise their role as a Devine mother.

You Are Going To Have So Much Success In 2018 (pass it on)

[athenastudying-deactivated20220]

I write so many essays these days that I’ve developed a proofreading routine by now - I thought I’d share it in case it helps anyone out! You don’t have to do all of this of course, and this isn’t in any specific order, but some of this might help you improve your essay before handing it in. :) 

1. Read it backwards

It’s easy to skip to the end of the sentence when you already know what it says. That’s why you should read your essay backwards - especially for spelling! It makes you focus on each word and you’re less prone to skipping ahead.

2. Professor mode

You can’t do this if you finish your essay two hours before the deadline, but otherwise: Let your essay sit in peace for two or three days, then print it out (!), get a red marker, and get into teacher mode. Proofread your essay like it’s your friend’s - what sounds incoherent? Which structure is off? What isn’t made clear? Where do you need citations? Really go to town and be strict with yourself, then edit.

3. Selective proofreading

Don’t try to proofread spelling, grammar, and content all at once. Read your essay several times, each time focusing on a different thing. This goes especially for correcting citations and references as well as punctuation.

4. Defend it

Give your essay to a friend or family member and then ask them if they’re convinced by your thesis statement. Ask them to grill you with questions. If you can’t defend your essay, it’s probably not convincing enough - and if you have to defend it a lot, maybe include some of the points you use in defence of it in your actual essay.

5. Resources

hemingway - proofreading tool that measures readability and makes improvement suggestions

Purdue OWL - for referencing and style guides

how to use endnote (university of bath)

grammarly - grammar checker

English grammar, especially punctuation

thesis statements

Hope this helped! :) If you have any more tips, feel free to add them.

“be stubborn about your goals but flexible about your methods.” the best advice I’ve ever received.

January 30 // wasn’t really feeling the whole Valentine’s theme for this month so I went with constellations instead!! (((still worked in one heart though heheh)))

[a-media-student]

Eight-hour study session! I decided to not just understand the two first units but expand vocabulary and grammar. The result is somehow tedious but reminds me how much I love writing and revising π∆π – Update: Just came from revising and wow, I’m so tired. Remember kids, divide your work by blocks so you don’t become a mess like me
