~ Confucius
Read More, Read Better
Many of us are looking for more ways to enjoy our time at home in these stressful circumstances. Some of us have turned to books. But how can we make sure we get the most out of them?
Keep reading
Is there a skill you’ve always wanted to master someday, but kept procrastinating on? A language you started learning – then abandoned? A topic in class you’ve never quite grasped? Or maybe you just want to expand your horizon and try something new? Distract yourself from your usual studies?
This challenge is the perfect opportunity to achieve that! Pick a skill and see how much you can improve and grow in 30 days – or really start working on your to-read list (I know those books have been piling up), your portfolio for that dream job in Illustration you want, or your blog you’ve been meaning to post more original content on.
Self-growth and development are so, so important, which is the main reason why I created this challenge.
The idea of this challenge is that people from all communities come together to gain knowledge, add skills and just have fun with the amazing amount of resources out there. This way, we can all support and motivate each other, whatever field you might be interested in.
Post an introduction with the hashtag #30dol with your goals and expectations for the month, and what your current level is. (Of course, you can join in later as well, but it’s fun to start a the same time!) In the end, you’ll be able to compare and see how much has changed!
Rules:
choose a topic or field you want to concentrate on
post an introduction to #30dol
define your goals or aspirations
update daily or weekly, we want to hear from you! ♥
post a picture, a sketch, or audio, whatever you deem fitting to show us all your progress for the day/week
Here are some ideas for you:
bullet journaling (read about it here on @emmastudies, here’s an amazing online course on it)
books/reading (if you don’t have a personal to-read list, here is one with the best books of the 20th century, best series with a gay plot/subplot, and books everyone should have read at least once)
coding (here are some sites to learn html, css, data science, python 3, java, etc.: x x x x)
design/illustration ( stickers and illustration, character illustration, Ink Illustration, 45 best adobe illustrator tutorials,
business/freelance/open your own shop (tips on how to open your own sticker shop, digital skills: web analytics and marketing)
languages (apps like lingodeer, duolingo, lingvist, busuu, blogs like @lovelybluepanda. there are also so many pdfs and amazing websites out there depending on your target language!)
online mass education courses (edx, coursera, skillshare, futurelearn where universities and professionals teach you about their subject - be that astronomy, engineering, ancient greek history, artificial intelligence or medicine!)
social media (learn to take iphone photos for your tumblr or instagram, and here’s a great post by @studyquill on how to start and maintain a studyblr!)
photography (travel street photography, find photographers you admire like annie leibovitz or henri cartier bresson and read about their path, or browse youtube channels like negative feedback which specialize on photography)
creative writing (there are tons of workshops online - you could also try to set yourself a piece or word limit similar to nanowrimo)
culinary (check recipe websites, or challenge yourself to try one new recipe a day, or dedicate the month to a specific cuisine)
music (learn music production, andrew huang has also made a video on how to start making music here)
film and filmmaking (karsten runquist’s channel is wonderful for film analysis, learn about cinematography basics here and film history here)
painting (acrylic painting, sketchbook illustration. you could challenge yourself to fill an entire sketchbook/create a piece every day or week, or to improve a specific technique)
Every resource linked is free (if you click on the links you can get Skillshare for free for two months and cancel anytime), so all you need is some free time and lots of motivation!!
I’m very happy to be announcing this to you all, and will be working on my Japanese for this challenge – so excited to see what you all and I will do and how far we can come!
Use #30dol as the general tag, and add your field (your specific subject, or writing, painting, lang(uages), pho(tography), film, book, design) to find people doing something similar! Though honestly one of the things I’m most excited about is the multidisciplinary aspect - we are such a brilliant and colorful community :)
Have fun guys!!
officially bringing this back for July!! so excited! i’m gonna start studying korean again!!!
exam season is coming up, tag ur preference
once you stop fantasizing about that ideal version of yourself and start working towards becoming that person by setting your alarm clock earlier and actually going to the gym and actually volunteering at places and actually eating healthier and not procrastinating and working just a little bit harder you’ll realize that it was so easy all along. becoming your ideal self will only ever exist in your mind until you make the decision to work towards becoming that person. get up!! get going!! it’s now or never!! there is no light at the end of the tunnel!! get that flashlight and pave your own path bitch bc no one else is going to do it for u!!

Adjust your notes to the class
My school year is over for now but I came to lecture you about note taking anyway:
1. Get the right notebooks
What notebook and papers you choose for your notes is way more important than you may think.
Choose large binders that you can rerfill with new papers for subjects you will study for a long (you can use said binder for years) time and that are important to you
Cheap small notebooks are enough for subjects you don’t care about and/or you know you won’t come back to the notes
You can use one notebooks for multiple classes if there aren’t too many notes to take
Checked paper is great for maths, physics and chemistry
Lined paper is great for languages and other wordy subjects
Also don’t forget you can reuse notebooks that have a lot of space left!
2. Rewriting notes
Rewriting notes is most often unnecessary. I rewrite my notes for one class only and that’s biology. I rewrite them because not only it’s something I will study in the future and therefore keep my notes, but also the teacher speaks fast and I need to make quick and messy notes first.
Some good reasons why rewrite notes:
The teacher is going too quickly to make your notes organised enough for you to study from them
This class is quite hard and rewriting things helps you study
You want do your own research later and include it into your notes
The way the teacher talks about the subject makes it hard for you to organise information right away
Reasons why not to rewrite your notes for most classes:
It takes a lot of time
The aesthetic is unimportant and impossible to keep in too many subjects
Waste of paper
It’s more work you don’t really need
3. Give up the aesthetic
Like I said before, the aesthetic is unimportant. Do not confuse aesthetic with organised information. Keep your notes organised but you don’t need beautiful lettering and titles.
You have to allow your notes to be messy. Especially in maths and other subjects where you solve problems, because you will make mistakes and you need to make them in order to learn.
4. Make some things consistent but let other things be flexible
Make sure to use the same colours for the same information across all the subjects but organise the information accordingly to the subject/teacher/type of exam.
5. Think whether it’s really necessary to take notes
Sometimes all you have to do is listen or borrow someone else’s notes. Perhaps you have a book to read or other options.
Hope I helped and have a great summer!
Writing Motivation Tip
“I’m such a shit writer, I can’t get anything to sound good!” I guarantee if you’ve written more than a few sentences, there’s one in there that you like. There’s something that made you glow with pride, or at least made you think for a moment, “hey, a few more of these and I’ll be set!” So here’s what you gotta do. Compile them. Make a separate document and name it “Lines I Like”, “Good Shit I Wrote”, or anything that proclaims that it’s the best of your work. Not “okay stuff I guess”. This is for tooting your own horn, not negging yourself straight back into misery. Then go through any and all WIPs or past projects and paste them into it. Save it to your desktop and maintain it. Add to it every time you create a turn of phrase that sounds right, any time you write a good pun or a striking paragraph. Top it up with fresh material. Open it up when you’re feeling down on yourself as a writer. Anything that makes you doubt your abilities, open it and reread those lines. It’s an instant mood boost.
Be your own inspiration, because if you’ve written a good thing once, you can absolutely do it again.

Korean Grammar Lesson: have you ever~
Not a dumb question at all! The sentence it’s referring to is “애완동물 키워본 적이 있나요?”
This is a grammar principle meaning “have you ever.” The general concept is ~아/어본 적(이) 있다/없다.
The 아/어본 is tried to do something. Like 먹어봐 try to eat this. The past tense noun modifier conjugation is ㄴ/은, so with 보다, we use 본
적 here means something like a time/experience. The 이 is an optional subject marker. It’s usually pretty obvious what’s coming next so you could leave it out, but out of pure habit, I say 적이
있다 would mean you have had something, 없다 would mean you have not. Of course you would conjugate it to fit the formality (있어/있어요/있습니다/etc)
So the sentence I used was “Have you ever had a pet?” But directly translated it would be something like “Have you ever tried to have the experience of raising a pet?”
Should we look at some more examples?
김치를 먹어본 적이 있어요? Have you ever tried kimchi?
한국에 가본 적이 없어요. I’ve never been to Korea.
어벤져스 본 적이 있어요?* Have you ever seen The Avengers?
*since the verb “to see” (보다) is the same as “to try to do” (보다), so it’s easier to just say 본 for the whole phrase as it’s completely understood.
Hope this helps! DMs and asks are always open if you have anymore questions ❤
