My Zener Diode notes for Electronic class. I switched to digital notetaking last year and it was the best decision I made. It was perfect for online classes. I reduced a lot paper and save so much time! Whenever I have exams or quizzes, I don't have to take pictures, export them to pdf then submit. I can just directly export from Goodnotes then submit them!

If you are interested the notebook I'm using, you can purchase them on Etsy. I also have offwhite version! I can make dark mode too if I see a lot of people demanding it :)

✨2/30 days of productivity✨

started taking notes on QM today. i think i figured out how i want to take notes this year (at least in this course); reading and taking a bit of notes pre lecture and then i made a column of space for adding things during the lecture so i don’t have to write everything down during the lecture, only the things i missed in my notes! this way i can focus more on listening and understanding during the lecture, i damn hope it works lol

I made lavender lemonade and LOOK AT THE COLOUR.

21|08|2021

Today I was supposed to work all day, but unexpectedly we managed to get everything done by 13.30. This means that I had enough time to make this amazing lemonade, and start reading the last chapter of my book on medieval archeology. I am also planning on finishing writing a short story I started a few days ago.

Summer studying challenge //21st August - Sandals or flip flops?

 I don't wear sandals, cause I prefer cosed shoes. I do wear flip flops at the beach, and in the garden when I'm not barefoot.

8.27.21 Classes have started! Today I had my first Endocrinology lecture, received a package of plant-based salami from my uncle, reviewed limits for Calculus, and visited the university museum! I’m so grateful to go to a school where my Arts of Japan course only needs to field-trip across the quad to study an extensive collection.

how to get prepared for the new school year

hey guys!! so if you’re like me and living in the southern hemisphere, school is starting in about a month, which means that now christmas has come and gone, it is the perfect time to get ready for the coming school year!!

i’m starting ib year 1, so some of these tips may seem a little extreme, but i’ve used these in previous years too and found them very useful in getting ahead before school starts!

loooool i hope this helps as it is my first masterpost!! anyways, enjoy ^___^

declutter your room and study space!

 ok so i can’t stress how important this is enough

 if you have a really untidy workplace (not like a little cluttered, like suPER untidy), you probably won’t be able to work as efficiently!!

 you don’t need to worry about buying fancy stationery or expensive organising things, if all you have is a bookshelf and a table, that’s great!! if you have a large desk with built in storage, that’s great too!! make good use of what you have

 it’s a good idea to sort out what school notes and things you have from the previous year and what might be helpful or necessary for the coming year

 trash what notes you don’t need and sort out what ones you do

 personally i like to keep my textbooks from previous years, but this is up to you.

 make sure you have a space for your timetable, folders, etc

 make it a happy space to study!

 i also like to make sure my happy sleepy relax place (probs ur bedroom) is clear from clutter and will be conductive to sleep and relaxation

 try and keep technology away from this area - i know it’s tempting to watch netflix until 3 in the morning (cough*guilty*cough*) but try to keep this to a seperate area - ur brain knows and will associate this to this area, which isn’t good for when school starts

TL;DR sort out your study space and your room so that you’re ready and prepared for the school year!

get ahead!

honestly i know it sounds lame to spend your summer holidays doing MORE schoolwork but it really doesn’t have to take up all your time!!

pick a subject you found difficult that you’re doing next year, or something you want to revise and get ahead in, and make a plan

set aside a certain amount of time during the day that you’ll spend doing some schoolwork

it can be half an hour, or 5 hours!! it doesn’t matter how long, it’s still better than doing nothing at all!

but don’t stress yourself out. chill, you got tons of time!!

so…. “i will do 45 minutes of maths problems every second day until school starts!” or “i will make sure i get 50 xp on duolingo every day until school starts!”

make sure it’s realistic for the amount of time you have during the holidays and how much you want to achieve

i like doing this for subjects like maths, french, and the sciences where having a strong foundation is crucial for when you start doing more complex topics!!

for maths i typically revise the difficult topics or things i might have not have done as well on and just make sure i’m all brushed up and ready for the year

for languages, DUOLINGO IS YOUR BEST FRIEND!!

honestly it’s free and such a great way to learn new vocabulary and phrases!!

also, skim your textbooks, find out what’s in the syllabus, and the assessments for yo subjects

if you have any books for english or anything, try to read them - i’ve always heard and abided by the rule that the first time you read a book you’re sort of learning the story and focusing on the plot, but the second time you read it is when you should be looking for literary devices and techniques

get organised!

use a planner/calendar/bullet journal omg, just use one pls

or something that works for you!

handing assignments in late is literally the worst way to lose marks because you could have had them and saved yourself stress just by handing it in on time

bullet journals are pretty popular in the studyblr community, and there’s an awesome masterpost on them by @studyign​

or you can use a planner!!

good brands include kikki k, erin condren, the day designer, typo, etc

ofc you don’t have to have an expensive one!! you can make your own using a spare notebook and a pen!!

plus there are lots of wonderful printables out there

look at @theorganisedstudent​

also, sort out your school bag/pencil case and make sure you have everything you need for the upcoming year

get organised…. pt 2!

figure out how you’ll organise your subjects and notes and things

personally i like to have a binder for each subject for handouts, take notes in a notebook and homework in a separate notebook, and have secondary notes on my computer using OneNote

knowing how you’re going to organise your notes and handouts and assignments before the school year starts is so helpful - meaning you spend less time looking for notes and more time studying!!

accordion folders can be really great for taking specific papers or assignments from school to home

i personally prefer writing my notes by hand as i feel i take them in better, but writing them on a computer is still ok!! just do what works for you.

just relax. take time for yourself.

honestly after such a big school year too, don’t get too stressed about the coming year. instead look at it in a positive light.

yes a little bit of stress helps to keep you on track and make sure you don’t simply say “i’ve got SOOO much time” but too much (as I’m sure you all know!!) will simply hinder you… yerkes-dodson law (i’m a psychology lover i’m sorry)

so take time out during the holidays to destress and relax at the same time!!

you’ve got this!!

whether you’re starting year 7 or going into your final year, you can totally do this.

i believe in you!!!

Beautiful Thursday you all!

Today is a very productive day. I already got so much work done and I’m very happy about that! It is a little hard sometimes to keep being energetic and motivated but I always try my best!

I hope you guys are having a productive and nice day too!

I‘m very happy about how my notes turned out today :)

My study tip for today:

Drink enough water when you are studying. It keeps you energetic and awake and is good for your health and skin! And don’t forget to be grateful to yourself, you’re doing great!

kisses xx

08.05.21 | Lovely day courtesy of my awesome therapist and my professor who decided to cancel today’s lecture. The fun thing about being so distracted by summer work is suddenly realizing senior year is literally around the corner and I have zero clue what I’m gonna end up doing when I graduate :) <3

[mathilda-studies]

So this is just a PSA, y'all should never sign a contract until you read it. I’m talking in rl right now. I just got through reading my employee handbook/service contract and my bosses slipped in a lot of bullshit like telling me I can’t complain about my job on social media, demanding I work off the clock in the name of good service, expects me to show up on time during inclimate weather, and considered disability or religious accommodation a direct threat to the company.

These are all things I took issue with and brought to my employer for further discussion before signing the contract. Most of my coworkers signed without reading, treating it like an internet terms of service contract.

Tl;dr real life is serious shit, lawyers write contracts to protect your employer FROM YOU, read contracts before you sign them - fucking ARGUE about contracts before you sign them
