The start of a busy and very exciting day - I love this time of the year and all the wonderful new projects it brings. I hope you all have a truly lovely day planned xx #workspace #pastel #goodmorning #madefromscratch

Tomorrow is Day 1 of trying to teach myself how to code. I’m kind of nervous, but my renewed determination is making me excited. Wish me luck...

07.22.15 // Russian revision and a snack (not healthy, I know, but I deserve it after today). Can’t believe my Russian program is already almost over.

The "Secret" To Doing Well in School:

Start on day one and don’t stop until you’re done.

As much as you will want to go hang out with your friends the second you get out of class on the first day, resist it. Head to the library, your room, or wherever else it is you get work done and just do it. On the first day you will have such little work to do that it will seem too insignificant to start right away. However, this helps set up the rest of the semester for you. If you can get in the habit of this before the work load gets daunting then procrastination will no longer be an issue. Sit down after your classes and finish all your work (or make a plan on how to finish it) before you relax. Simple as that. Do that and cramming will no longer be your life. If you think that’s too overwhelming, try challenging yourself to do that for 30 days. After the 30 days it will become a habit!

But maybe you’re of the opinion that procrastination is fine and that you do pretty well regardless. That’s fine. But think of how much easier studying would be if you didn’t procrastinate. By the end of week one you would have all of week one’s material down pat. You would have the opportunity to quickly review in the coming weeks instead of still struggling to learn it all. Then come the weekend before the test you will simply be reinforcing what you already know instead of struggling to have complete knowledge of what you’ll be tested on.

Boom. That A is easily within reach.

The culture behind procrastination unfortunately only ends up feeding the habit. The idea that procrastination is just a thing that everyone does and jokes around about is the worst part. Well, it’s time to take it seriously! There actually is no secret to doing well in school! You already know what you need to do. So start doing it!

The Curve of Forgetting (originally called The Ebbinghuas Curve after the German philosopher Hermann Ebbinghaus who developed it in 1885) demonstrates how quickly we forget new information we don’t work with repeatedly. It shows just how important it is to revise everyday - even for a few minutes!

07.19.15 // Went to the library today to try to make a dent in my book. I’m surprised at how much of the economics I’m understanding (and finding interesting). But I have to finish the book by Tuesday, so I better get back to reading now...

To be prepared is half the victory

This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.

That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.

This is why we download.
