– Pen Case. I really enjoy this case and have found it’s small enough to easily fit in my backpack with my other supplies but large enough to fit my essentials. – Zebra Mildliners. A lot of people on studyblr have these and they’re definitely not necessary but they are pretty if you enjoy highlighting and color-coding. Currently I don’t have anywhere else to put them so they all stay in my case. – Hand Lotion. – Notecards. I love love love flashcards so I always keep a small stack of blank ones with me for studying. – Pencils. Not too sure where I got these but my sister didn’t want them (since they have no erasers) so she gave them to me because I don’t typically use pencils. I mostly keep these around for tests and quizzes. – Ball-Point Pen. My most-used piece of stationary. I love writing with ball-points and these ones, by Pentel, are my absolute favorites. – Gel Pen. I keep this white gel pen with me for little corrections when I don’t want to use Wite-Out (since it creates that thick bumpy layer). – Felt-Tip Pen. A black Staedler triplus fineliner that I keep just in case. I don’t really like using these as much as ball-points though. – Ruler. This is actually the broken half of a ruler that used to sort of flip out. It’s nice and compact though! – Wite-Out Pen. I don’t really like liquid Wite-Out so I’m trying this out right now. It’s fairly decent.
30 . 05 . 2016 // the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
12.06.2016
Some flashcards i made for math while studying for my exams a while ago. Hope everyone’s having a great day!╭( ・ㅂ・)و
10/06/16: i started reading this book last year but i couldn’t finish because of exams, also summer is coming early this year!! 🌸☀️🍥
Sat 18/6/16 I like to start of my weekend with making a list of things I would like to get done by monday
13/100 days of productivity + TUE 6.7.15// 10:01pm << posting this the next morn b/c i got back really late last evening ゜-゜
theme of the day: “the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell”. I’ve totally forgotten how much I loved biology and I am once again in awe of nature and how our bodies work on a microscopic level. Amazing. ಥヮಥ

Finallyyyy finished the paper I was writing! (Not pictured: about 25 post-its stuck to my desk and wall)
In less than three weeks my exams will start and even though I feel pretty unprepared I try my best to catch up 📓
💭 coding gives me headache but at least these pics are cute
Naturally I’m making this post as everyone is finishing education for the year so keep hold of this for September, and I hope that it is of some use! This is a semi-carry-on from my 'how to take notes from reading’, so I’ve structured it in a similar manner :)
Any questions / requests feel free to direct my way!
*I’ve made this how I would lay it out for my lectures as they’re predominately all powerpoint based. It does work if you’re in a lesson without powerpoint though!
Explaining things from left to right:
On the left-hand side, on the line: the module or course name, for example ‘The Cold War’ (if you’re using loose paper this can come as a god send if you’re not super organised and get your papers muddled up)
Right-hand side: the date of the lecture / lesson (makes organising notes much easier & quicker)
Right-hand side, above the date: what teacher taught the lesson. This is handy if you have more than one teacher per module / class so if you have any problems or questions you know who to contact rather than thinking it might have been this Professor but you’re not sure…
Left-hand side, one or two lines down: the title of the lesson (or powerpoint), for example, ‘The Influence of the West’.
*If you know you’re going to use more than one sheet of paper, number it in one of the corners :)
And this is what the finished product of my lecture notes looks like (obviously never this neat, b/c time)
I’ll talk about the margins first and then the main body because if not I’ll probably become confusing…
Margins:
The ’//’: I actually stole this idea from one of my friends at uni because it’s such a good idea. So the two forward slashes (//) in the margins means new slide if a lesson has been delivered in powerpoint. This is really useful if you’re likely to re-visit the powerpoint post-lesson so you don’t get lost.
Names, Dates and Other Words & Numbers: in the margins jot down important dates, people, places or figures etc. If they’re really important circle them or, if you have time, highlight them. I guess it’s similar to the Cornell note taking system but I’ve never looked in to that so I can’t comment.. In this area, also write down things you want to research further, as well as things that you don’t know so you can come back to it at a later date.
Main Body:
Title of slide / Main theme of slide: I always try and write the title of the slide down (or paraphrase it) so when I go back to my notes I can chunk everything down, and find things quicker. I always write the title of the slide next to the ’//’. My exception for this is when a series of slides are under the same title or theme.
Underneath the title: This is where the content of the slide goes, and what the lecturer has said. It’s normally in bullet points, and I try to summarise both what’s being said and what’s written on the slide (yes, it can get hard & messy with lots of arrows)
Things in brackets: the things written in brackets often relate to what’s being discussed but not directly or; a name or title of something. It can also be used as a note to yourself, i.e. (see x’s work) or (to be covered next week).
Arrows: these are used to link slides or points together. Use as necessary :)
*something written in stars*: I tend to write things withing stars as ’*see slide*’ or something to similar effect. This is because the slide has a large chunk of text on it (for example a quote) or lots dates and events etc whereby I know I’ll be able to see it after the lecture and make amendments to my notes. In most cases like this, I just write down what the lecturer has been saying.
I hope that this has been useful!

this week’s spread was pretty, but I didn’t really use it.
18.06.2016 I really like my spread this week! I think it turned out really nice.
In other news I had my first exam of the semester today and ….. Honestly it could have gone a lot better. A lot of guessing took place (at least some of them were educated guesses) which I’m not too happy with. Just hoping I got enough to pass the unit!
I fell in love with my new school’s library 😍 I can’t wait to explore this building
as some of you might’ve noticed, i’ve abandoned this blog for some time. may was the busiest month this year so far - i’ve been tutoring twins to help them get into a german school, had lots of assignments and erasmus stuff to tackle, travelled a bit and roamed around my city as often as i could. i’m going to have to say goodbye to poznań since i’ll be studying in vienna for a year! i’ll be sad to leave, but there are exciting times ahead!
