@thebibliosphere in light of your curse breaking post recently I thought this would also be a good post for anxious people!

when you find an academic source that’s perfect for your paper but it’s behind a pay wall

[deadmomjokes]

Deciding to cite it anyway base on the abstract, knowing your professor probably won’t go through and look up every source in works cited

How do you get over nerves in uni presentations? Help OMG lol

Heyyy! So this is a hard thing to do, tbh. Because if you’re like me, I think that at least for now I’m always gonna be nervous before giving a big presentation. I’m sure there’s some people who just swagger in, but I think it is a normal thing to be nervous. A bit of nerves can be good! 

But of course, if your nerves get the better of you it can make things a struggle. I’m not the most experienced person in giving presentations, but some tips I have are:

- the main thing is to PRACTISE! The better you know your presentation, the more confident you will be. Be sure to practise in front of your friends first too, as well as just to yourself.

- things like breathing exercises can help calm you down if you get a big jolt of nerves before the thing. Also, if you’re anything like me then don’t drink coffee on the day - I love coffee but it tends to make me more jittery/anxious if I’m nervous.

- smile. This sounds cheesy but I think smiling is supposed to relax you, so when you walk up there give everyone a big smile, and try to smile a bit throughout (but not in a weird way haha)

- think to yourself, what’s the worst that could happen? You stutter a bit? You forget where you were? big deal, who cares. Everyone’s been there, no one’s gonna be like omg s/he’s shit because they stuttered.

- try to think that the audience/assessors aren’t analysing you as much as you are. You’ll probably be up there feeling really self conscious, over-thinking every little word and body movement you do, but for the people watching they’re likely not doing that. Especially if you’re one of many people presenting that day, they might even be bored and switching off a bit

- remember how great you are! Don’t get into the mindset of ‘I can’t do it, I’ll be rubbish’. Think about your good qualities and achievements and big yourself up a bit beforehand. 

I hope that helps! x

sooo basically my stationery-loving nerd ass has a tendency to over-buy when ordering, and so i have a few bits and bobs that I don’t really use??? I’ve been hoping to do a giveaway of some sort for a really long time, so i’m hoping to use this as a tester and maybe do another bigger one if it goes well !!

items in the giveaway:

cloud-shaped correction tape

two sets of page markers (blue + grey/beige)

three black-ink cactus pens

two marble-pattern washi tapes (one white, one black)

a set of small plant-patterned envelopes

although I initially ordered them for myself, I’ll just clarify that all items are unused and are in the condition that they were when I first received them.

how to enter:

reblog this post (likes won’t be included)

be following me (x)

thats ………………. literally it 

if you enter, please make sure that you’re either over 18 years old or have parents’ permission to give me your address (so that I can post it to you)

if all goes well and 10+ people enter, I’ll be ending the giveaway on tuesday 1st may 2018 and posting it asap once a winner is chosen w a random generator. the giveaway is open worldwide, but if you live outside of the UK, just be aware that I’m not sure how long shipping will take!

thank you !!!!

Who DOESN’T need this Imposter Syndrome Resistant Lab Coat?

[mybuckystar]

some things i’ve learned about adulthood that no one warns you about

you will in fact continue to have acne past the age of twenty

you will eventually hit a point where you start to feel icky inside if you go too long without eating some sort of vegetables

depending on your current level of athleticism/physical activity as well as the kind of activities you did as a kid/teenager, your joints may start acting whack in your twenties, despite what everyone says about that not happening until middle age

eventually you will reach a point where you wonder how you were able to stay up until 3am nearly every night and be perfectly fine the next day (and this moment will come much younger than you expect)

it is much harder to meet new people after you’re done with school than sitcoms would have you believe

don’t let society tell you shit: it is perfectly acceptable to live with your parents after you graduate, there’s no need to be broke and miserable just so you can have some misguided attempt at independence straight out of school

[mezimraky]

giving away some (2) czech books translated into english !

dear pals, what is this? you ask … a very good question. i have had this blog for a while but – who am i kidding this isn’t about the blog. it somehow happened that i have doubles of these books and though i am no minimalist, i feel that it is my god-given duty to offer them out to the Public. in case the public is interested in something as obscure as the history of czechoslovakia, you know – the country you think still exists, though it has ceased nearly thirty years ago ?? yes. (i’m just kidding, please don’t be offended)

the books i am giving away are (1) The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera and (2) The Cremator by Ladislav Fuks. the both of them are EXCELLENT IN THEIR OWN WAY and considered something of a classic and what they have in common is that their stories pass on the background of some important events of modern czech history. (more information about the both books is provided under read more <3)

you can win one of these by the end of february, i will ship them internationally and free of charge, provided that you follow my very basic rules: 1) reblog for entry. in the tags, please state which of the books you would prefer. you can state both, in case you really would not mind either way. stating nothing however doesn’t qualify for entry. please give me tags so that i don’t feel so alone !! 2) you must be following me ! new followers are welcome, though i would appreciate it if you didn’t do the thing where you unfollow me when the giveaway ends – it really would be unfair towards the people who have been bearing with me all this time if you won 3) multiple reblogs are allowed but please don’t spam your followers <3 4) there will be two winners, one for each book. those will be contacted via a private message or whatever. good luck, pals !!

Question Time!

Hey guys! It’s been a while since I last spoke to you, but university’s got me busy (like, really busy and depressed).

The reason I’m here today is because I want to talk about sports.

I’ve never been a sporty gal, I’ve never liked working out despite trying desperately lots of sports, routines and self-motivational therapy. Since I was a kid I had this feeling that basketball or volleyball (for example) didn’t fill my needs, and it’s still present nowadays.

A couple of months ago I had like a kind of spiritual revelation when I was about to fall asleep. I’ve always liked superheroes and jedis and I’ve always wanted to be like them: strong, agile and powerful. And it makes sense, at least to me, to think that one of the main reasons I have this passion resides in my physical state. I mean, if I can even consider I have one. They are exactly the opposite of what I am now, they control their bodies but, most important, they are confident.

So as I was saying, I had this sort of revelation one night. I thought it’d be a great idea to start looking for information about trainings that these people (or characters, whatever) follow to be as fit as they are.

Finally, after thousands of hours of search, I came up to the conclusion that the answer to my question were martial arts. All these badass men and women had one thing in common, which was the mastering of these disciplines. And this idea really soaked into me, because it meant that the path I’d have to follow was completely accesible for a person like me, who lives in a small city from Spain with practically no resources.

Now, as I’m laying in my bed again I come up with this incredible idea: asking you guys about your experiences with martial arts. Now that I know what I want to do and invest time into, I’m stuck, because this path has a lot of alternatives and my brain is about to explode (I like the idea of Krav Maga, but my father tells me to do boxing and my cousin’s had great experience with kickboxing, and I’d like to learn sword techniques, blah blah blah).

So, yeah… that’s it. I’d really appreciate knowing your opinion and thoughts about this topic.

Thank you so much for reading until the end, sorry for some grammatical mistakes which I’m sure I’ve made. I hope you have a wonderful year and you find what you really love.

Lots of love xx
