If there’s one college assignment I had to do which I could force on all college students, it’d be this paper I had to write for a Research Methods class. It was later in the semester, and the professor gave us a very straightforward assignment: you need to find a news article which reports on the results of an academic study, read the actual study, and then explain in detail why the article did not properly represent the study’s findings.

Not only was having to do that a really useful exercise in terms of figuring out how misinformation gets passed around, but talking with a class of 25 other students who all had to do the same thing for 25 different articles makes you realize that the majority of all “studies show…” news articles misrepresent the studies they’re based on

Things I learnt now that I’m out of high school

sure someone might have a better educational background or family background, but what really matters when interacting with people is your personality and attitude

If there is something that you don’t like about yourself, admit it, accept it, and change it. Changing something about yourself doesn’t mean you are loving yourself less, in fact you are loving yourself more

Respect others until they prove they do not deserve it. But sometimes for the sake of your future self, doesn’t disrespect them. Just because they don’t deserve your respect doesn’t mean you have to disrespect them or be mean to them. They are humans with mistakes too

It’s fine to not date in high school. Sometimes we’re just not ready. And the people we were might not have been ready to treat others the way they deserve to be.

Mental health is important. period.

HEALTH IS IMPORTANT PERIOD

If your back hurts do some yoga. If you need to de-stress do some yoga. Yoga calmed me before I did anything without a clear mind. 100% recommend anyone to try it out once

Take pictures. With you in them. Yes, you might cringe but you’ll regret not having photos with your friends. Especially nice ones if all you have are funny meme ones

Learn to text, you’ll need this skill when everyone is gone

It’s never too late to apologize

If you are disorganized I beg you to start organizing your stuff now, it’s not because I told you so or because your mum wants you to, it’s because your future self will thank you

Do everything with your future self in mind

Learn a few recipes even if you are terrible at cooking. Practice and master those recipes. They’ll feed you and you’ll have staples to bring to gatherings if needed (then slowly work from there and learn more recipes)

Yes school matters but it’s actually all about how you use the resources available to you

Start experimenting and find out what study techniques are for you. Grades seem much more important in uni than that quiz where you can cover up with extra credit

DO EXTRA CREDIT IF THERE IS AND IF YOU CAN

Learn to and always say no when you can’t. There’s a difference between being uncomfortable to go outside of your comfort zone and being uncomfortable while trying to swallow a panic attack

Learn about yourself. You are not boring. The inside world means as much as the outside world. If you see nothing, build something. try and see what you like or dislike.

How to Really Comprehend a Scientific Paper

**credit to my research advisor, she’s an amazing mentor and I aspire to be just like her someday :)

Read the abstract. Write down what the paper says it is going to be about.

Read the introduction. Write down what the paper says it is looking to accomplish and how.

Read the conclusion. Write down what the paper actually did accomplish.

Go through and find all the pictures, graphs, or diagrams. Write notes explaining these images to yourself.

Read the whole paper start to finish. Write a summary of the paper as though you are explaining it to a layperson, and then another summary as though you are explaining it to a colleague.

Throughout all of the above steps:

If there are words you don’t know google them and write down the definitions

If the paper defines a formula, law, variable, etc in a certain way write that down

If there are references to or recommendations of other literature write those down. After the last step if there’s anything you’re uncertain about or would like more information on look to that list for further reading

Could I just say something real quick? 

It’s all coming. Whatever you’re starving for, whatever that ache is that stings your bones, it’s coming. The love, the happiness, the adventures, and the creativity that you are seeking, it is all coming for you. Here’s the thing, don’t let your right now get away. The things you find mundane, keep them. Store them in the pocket of your favorite coat like found pennies. They aren’t futile. Do not let them cause you to feel empty and hollow. They are going to be worthwhile. Keep the hunger for what is coming, but please, keep a tight grip on these little ordinary moments that are happening right now, because they – these tiny pieces of this ordinary affair you find yourself in – are the foundation to your extraordinary. And I promise you, if you begin to recognize your right now, you’ll see your extraordinary coming.
