New background! Hope you like it. How’s your day going? I kind of like Sundays but today it’s been lazy so far 😅 I still need to finish some notes and assignments and I’m far from finishing them hahah. It’s ok though, I know I can’t be 100% productive all the time so I don’t feel guilty 😌 I know I’ll finish my notes later.

9.6.15 // Look guys I finally worked out an annotation system that doesn’t make my eyes want to bleed! 😅 For those of you who can’t deal with highlighters all over the place in your textbooks, try doing what I do and highlighting only the main points and boxing/underlining secondary points/information. It will save you a lot of anxiety when you are going over it later.

In this post, I list 7 of my all-time favorite apps / chrome extensions that I use daily.  I hope I can help out some fellow uni students who are struggling.  This might help make studying less painful and a tiny tiny bit more enjoyable. 
love, edith 🌾

it's ok to take a break!!! please take time to do what you love, and relax, you don't have to be "productive" all the time because just taking time for you is productive all on it's own!!!!!!

In communities of color, mental health care is often viewed as only for white middle-class people, and folks are encouraged to keep their problems in the community and in the church. This myth stems from our lack of privilege to have space and time to acknowledge that we need to heal.
For example, I know that I should reach out to a professional soon about how my personal and intergenerational trauma has recently been triggered by conflicts within my community and in the world. I probably won’t, though, because I have to take care of too many other things.
I’m just one of many Black people in the U.S. struggling with mental health issues. Black folks are 10 percent more likely than non-Latinx whites to suffer from mental illness, according to the Office of Minority Health.
I don’t want to internalize society’s perception of me as simultaneously less than human and superhuman. As a Black nonbinary woman, I try my hardest to reject the trope of the “strong Black woman.”
I dream of a world where Black women are free to be vulnerable as we please.
In a time when communities of color are facing unprecedented attacks from Pres. Trump’s administration and emboldened white supremacists, we can’t afford to uphold myths about mental health. We need whole bodies, minds, and spirits if we’re to survive the Trump era.

how to study when you REALLY don’t want to
we’ve all been there. You have a paper due in the morning, it’s 10 pm, and you’re sitting at your desk, feeling dead. Or maybe it’s 3 pm, and you’re just SO overwhelmed with an endless to do list and so many pages to read or annotate or take notes on that you just think,
screw it. I just won’t do anything. 
Listen, I get it. I understand. I LOVE learning, but I often find myself bogged down by homework, that incessant, painful reminder that you’re being forced to learn.  Nobody likes that.
So below are some of my tips for studying, especially when you really, really don’t feel like doing it.
What’s your absolute dream school? Columbia? That’s amazing. Harvard? Incredible. Florida State? Awesome. Wherever you want to be in two years- whether it be college, grad school, teaching, etc. Picture yourself learning in your dream learning environment, doing what you love the most. Maybe for you, that daydream means picturing yourself in a New York City coffee shop, working on Literature homework from Barnard College. Or maybe it means cramming biology in a crowded, raucous library at UMass. Whatever makes you get excited about learning- take the fuel you feel from those daydreams and use it to fan the flames of your love for learning. 
Treat every single class like it’s your absolute favorite class ever. Listen. I don’t care if you have the shittiest teacher on planet earth. I don’t care if you couldn’t give less of a fuck about quantum physics or functions or whatever. You have the privilege and the opportunity to learn anything and everything, and we could all do good to stop taking that for granted. Treat AP Calculus like it’s your favorite subject EVER, even when- especially when it feels like pulling teeth. But how? You might be asking. The secret is that it’s really, really not that hard. There are so many ways to motivate yourself to do that subject you’ve been putting off for days, and you know it!! Use studyblr to find inspiration for That Subject™, make a study group, trap yourself in your dorm/library/coffee shop until you just finish one problem set, just START. Chances are when you see other people being productive and getting shit done in that subject (cough studyblr cough) you’ll want to do it too. 
Eat, sleep, and live. Listen to me: you HAVE to stop killing yourself to do more school. Your to-do list ISN’T GOING TO JUST GO AWAY. There’s always going to be things you have to do and things you could be stressed about. But stress, school, and homework are not excuses to abandon self-care, friendships and having a social life. Go out with your friends! Go to the movies! Go to that football game! Get the important stuff done and stop worrying about your endless list! Having somewhere to go will motivate you to get done faster, and you’re going to feel a lot better after going out and having fun than sitting at home alone procrastinating. Chances are, you’ll be more energized to get some work done too. 
Pay attention to what your body’s telling you. Switch out midnight iced lattes for smoothies and fruit. Eat lots of food that makes you feel good, healthy and fulfilled. Stop snacking on the same 4 chips every time you study and start learning how to fuel your body and your brain. If you know you can’t eat a full breakfast before school, find things you can eat, and I mean MORE THAN JUST COFFEE STRAIGHT FROM THE POT. Track what you eat for an entire week, and I mean EVERYTHING. Track your water intake, coffee intake, and soda intake. On top of food tracking, also track your mood, productivity, and overall feeling of wellbeing. At the end of the week, see what’s up! Look for patterns, dehydration, food inconsistencies, gross stuff you eat a lot, things you want to change, all of it. And then actually MAKE THE CHANGES.
I know I’m going to sound like your mom friend here, but that’s kind of what I am, so: drink👏🏻more👏🏻water👏🏻!!!!!!! I cannot STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!!!!! FUEL YOUR BODY!!! YOU WILL FEEL BETTER!!!
in conclusion…
- picture yourself learning in your dream learning environment
- picture the payoff, you doing what you want to do - nursing or teaching or building fancy ass AI robotos or whatever it is
- do NOT take your education for granted!!!! learning is such an opportunity and not everyone gets it
- treat yourself like a normal human being.  take care of yourself.  shower.  eat.
- pay attention to your body.  pay attention to what you need.  pay attention to what you WANT
- drink your water, listen to some jazz, and just start somewhere.
- small progress is still progress
