[annastudyblr]

some people were asking for a actual and i can never pass up an opportunity to procrastinate so here’s just a couple of things i always need to remind myself of…now back to my paper :(

[annastudyblr]

vaguely academic things to do to keep yourself entertained

go down a wikipedia research hole by clicking the first term you don’t understand

binge a crashcourse series end to end (personal recs: world history, history of science, big history, philosophy)

find free books on project gutenberg

download some western classics for free

borrow books and audiobooks from the libby app or borrowbox

start a commonplace book

take a khan academy course

browse MIT’s free online course materials

teach yourself to code

go on a google scholar essay dive

try the open access button to avoid some paywalls for academic media, or install unpaywall that does a similar thing

research the history of the place you where you live

tempt the wrath of the duolingo owl and learn a language

search for online streams of the local tv in your target language’s country and use as background noise for immersion points

print and scrapbook favourite poetry and literature quotes

improve your handwriting by doing handwriting exercises

learn philosophy with the philosophize this! podcast. actually just check out all the educational spotify podcasts there are many good ones

start a weekly club with friends to share new and interesting things you’ve learnt that week

clean and reorganise your study space, physical or digital

check out online museums

fave educational youtube channels that I adore: vsauce, crashcourse, smarter every day, kurzgesagt, school of life, tom scott, r. c. waldun, vsauce3, primer, mark rober, veritasium, asapSCIENCE, scishow, TED-ed

hopefully you’ll find something to enjoy! happy learning x

me, deciding to put off my assignment until last minute: i work better under great pressure :)

me, scribbling my assignment literally 10 minutes before the class: fuck fuck fuck FUCK FUC-

what a great day to remember that we should not colonize mars, the whole concept is anthropocentric, imperialist, unrealistic and just weird, and the idea of establishing the same capitalistic systems that have turned out to be our downfall on another planet instead of solving problems on earth is so incredibly short-sighted and power fantasy driven that it makes me want to eat glass. the exploration of outer space should always be expressively and only for the benefit of all humankind, not to fill the pockets of some billionaires with a god complex. fuck elon musk all my homies hate elon musk

A Guide to Planning Systems

It’s important to have a system of getting things done, whether it’s tackling tasks as the day progresses or having a carefully planned schedule for every single hour of the week. How can you create an effective personal planning system that suits your needs and preferences?

Hey guys!

Because of distance learning I spend all my day from 7am to 10pm staring at my laptop or ipad, and when I'm tired of it I take a break by scrolling through my phone...and now my brain is just 🤯 and I have headache

Do you have any ideas of activities that are relaxing and don't require intense eyes work?

Thanks a lot!

So, basically, week earlier, my teachers told us that from now we will have every lesson in zoom...

And now, when it's time to give a lesson they just never show up...and we need to wait for them to text us 20 minutes after the start that there won't be one.... 😌😌😌love this

😭My holidays are almost over😭

I mean I wouldn't call it holidays considering the fact that I started 100 days of productivity on November 2nd...

Anyways, I just finished my long essay about lazy-lifestyle of Oblomov (and I made a power-move by not saving any place on the sheet for teachers comments and remarks)

And now I'm watching THSMTMTS (...gees...who made up this name???) And! also I'm glad that Biden won, I mean, im not american, but I'm happy that they really have democracy (😔 yeah unlike me in russia oops)

I really don't want to go back to school, because we have like 1200 cases of Covid in St. Petersburg, and also I just don't want to go there in general... my russian teacher doesn't like me....

How are you doing?

Well, love y'all. TPWK,

Ann 🤍🖤

19th-20th cent literature makes more sense when you keep in mind it was all written by depressed alcoholics
