Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.

“My philosophy is worrying means you suffer twice.”

The housemates bought me Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and I wish I was reading it instead of reading my biology textbook. BUT I only have two more exams, and two more lab meetings to wrap up this semester. Favourite teacher is flying back from Korea to visit over Christmas break, favourite people are coming home for the holidays (thought I wouldn’t be able to see them this year) and my favourite place on earth is wonderfully snowy (huzzah Banff!), so life is pretty good :)

First part of the guide is here!! And this will be all about styles. But first, what exactly are styles? According to the MS Word description.

“A style is a set of formatting characteristics, such as font name, size, colour, paragraph alignment and spacing. Some styles even include borders and shading.”

In plain English, they are a bunch of programmed formats for text. So, instead of going paragraph by paragraph, an setting, font, size, alignment, spacing, and so on; you just click and the text is done.

Besides the convenience of using them, and the benefits of a great look, they give your document consistence and that makes it easier an more pleasant to read. Also, they help you navigate your document, which comes handy when you have a lot of pages.

With that said, the guide is on!! But below the cut, because I am conscious of people’s dashboards and my own.

Note: I’ve just hit my first 100 followers! And I wanted to thank everyone, for helping me reach this first milestone. I hope to be able to keep contributing to this lovely community. Thanks!

Love, Andrea
