study reminder:

the point is not being a week ahead. it’s being on top of things, or the ability to catch up.

Uni/Life Tip:

Line your stove-top with aluminium foil as soon as you move in/get a stove/before you start cooking anything. Spills and accidents happen and once something gets baked on it’s a nightmare to scrub it off (I’ve broken 4 nails scrubbing the stove-top the last 2 weeks ‘cuz I want my security deposit back.) As for accidents, see if any of you can top this: I was cooking scrambled eggs in one of those tiny frying pans (5″ or so). I decided to be fancy and scramble the eggs in a bowl before pouring them into the warm pan...usually I just whip them in the pan as they cook. Anyway...time to pour--WHOOPS! I dropped the bowl of egg into the half-filled frying pan of cooking egg...raw egg splashed all over the stove-top and went under the burner etc. I shut everything down and took the stove apart, trying to mop it all up.

If the damage is already done, don’t despair. Just scrub your stove-top (or the “dish” beneath the burner, if it is removable) at least once a week, or every time you’re already doing dishes. Hopefully if you work at it all the crap will come off it.

Uni-Tip: When writing papers read your sentences outloud to yourself or mouth them to you--imagine yourself saying it. Unfortunately this has bled into my other writings...I’m reading this post out loud as I type it. So...either my roommate thinks I have a hidden pet, am constantly on the phone, am talking to some demons/nasty spirits or whatever, or have a significant other that’s just really good at scaling buildings and entering through the window--all in order of likelihood.

Sometimes something looks good on paper and is horrible when you put a voice to it. I’ve caught run-on sentences and grammar issues among other things that way. Sometimes you can catch “flow” that way too.

There was a tumblr post saying, “if you can’t imagine yourself epic-ly dropping the mic at the end of your conclusion you ain’t doing it right.” I’ve taken those words to heart and my grades have improved.

Uni Tip

It is true. When you have 5 roommates headphones are your best friend. (Roomies are all amazing and cool but some of them like to have guys over 24/7 which hey you go girls but go quietly plz. Ears can only handle so much headphone)

Hopefully this uni tip won’t be needed...

but if you lecturer is acting inappropriately (e.g. hitting on you, offering to give you extra help in return for something, taking too much of an interest in your personal life or romantic/sexual relationships), then TELL THE OFFICE STAFF FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT. IMMEDIATELY. They are there to help you in this situation. You will not be in trouble, and they can’t tell the lecturer you are complaining about that it was you who said anything.
