There’s something about getting a good grade in something I half-assed that makes me never want to full-ass anything! Ever!

｡･ﾟﾟ･ Socstudies: Sociology 103 ･ﾟﾟ･｡

.⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆..⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆..⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆..⋆｡⋆☂˚｡

Due to unexpected demand, I'm picking this series back up! Today's post is: Why study sociology?

.⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆..⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆..⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆..⋆｡⋆☂˚｡

｡･ﾟﾟ･Why choose any subject?･ﾟﾟ･｡

I think first of all it's important to think about why you would choose to study any subject, as prioritising your criteria can be really helpful. Here are some examples, but you will likely have your own too:

it leads to a high paying job

it's interesting / you enjoy or will enjoy studying it

you have to study it to get the job you want (high paying or not)

you have the pre-requisites (unfortunately sometimes this will rule out a subject)

Now that you've ranked these let's walk through them.

1x Luke's coffee cup earnt for making it this far!

｡･ﾟﾟ･Can sociology lead to a high paying job?･ﾟﾟ･｡

It depends! Sorry! Sociology is quite broad which means it can be applied to other fields that aren't directly sociological. For example, having a good knowledge of people and how they interact can be helpful in jobs such as a consultant or PR manager, but you don't need a sociology degree to do these.

1x Luke's coffee cup earnt for making it this far!

｡･ﾟﾟ･Will you enjoy studying sociology?･ﾟﾟ･｡

Of course as a second year sociology student I'll say yes but this is up to you! Our classes cover literally anything (one of my highest grading essays talked about kpop and stan culture) so you can really tailor your classes and assignments to what interests you, since absolutely anything involving people can be related to sociology. This means that class discussions get really interesting since people bring all sorts of examples and case studies to the table. An added bonus: if you're shy or not a lover of group discussions, you'll definitely have something to say in sociology since you're a part of what is being studied - you can just relate your own experiences or observations to the class material! You're like a walking textbook!

1x Luke's coffee cup earnt for making it this far!

｡･ﾟﾟ･Do any jobs require sociology?･ﾟﾟ･｡

The most obvious one is a sociologist but other jobs list sociology as part of potential entry requirements, such as social worker or teacher. To be honest, a lot of jobs just require you to have a degree (other than lawyers, doctors etc, but you can always to conversion courses or postgrad to do that, and having a sociological background will help with that!). It's all about transferrable skills. As you're studying such a wide scope of things, you will likely discover a certain area that you're super interested in (such as me with criminology and internet culture).

1x Luke's coffee cup earnt for making it this far!

｡･ﾟﾟ･Are there any other reasons to study sociology?･ﾟﾟ･｡

Most people probably say this about their subject, but I do genuinely think it should be a requirement to take at least a few sociology classes. There's been so many times when people have said something that they would have a completely different view of if they had studied sociology; it completely changed my whole perspective of things.

1x Luke's coffee cup earnt for making it this far!

.⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆..⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆..⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆..⋆｡⋆☂˚｡

Review Questions!

1x Luke's coffee cup earnt for each correct answer! (and half a cup for attempting!)

What jobs could sociology potentially lead to? (Doesn't have to be from this list - could do your own research!)

What topics would you like to explore from a sociological perspective? (No right answer... unless you're lying....)

What are four possible reasons to keep in mind while choosing a subject?

How I’m Planning on Working Through Executive Dysfunction for College

(As a sociology major)

Videos. TV. Movies. Applying learned concepts to film & pop culture. Watching shows, documentaries, & videos that depict history, social concepts & theories.

Social media. Creating content & gaining a following to (hopefully) motivate myself into studying more in order to produce more content for others [the idea that I’m not studying for myself, rather I’m studying for other people, helps me]. Doom scrolling while also applying social & other learned concepts to the content I see. Following sociologists & related content on social media to learn while I doom scroll. After all, I’m a SOCI(al)ology major.

Not pushing it. I will not sit & hyperfixate for hours on end to the point I have no mental energy to accomplish any other task that day.

Studying where I want to study. Outside? Kitchen? Bed? Couch? In the car? Park? It doesn’t matter. Be where you want to be. Studying is studying no matter where it’s happening.

Designated days & hours for nothingness. Designating one or two days a week, and a few hours a day as “wide open space & time” to do anything at all, even if it’s doom scrolling. No studying or school work allowed during these times.

Podcasts & educational background noise. Even if you’re tuning it out, important points might still stick out & be remembered.

Caffeine. Caffeine. Caffeine.

Taking meds regularly 🙃

Making a habit out of getting dressed after waking up. Then you feel like there’s something important to be done. Don’t stay in pajamas all day. Even if it’s just wearing shoes.

Don’t force yourself to be physically uncomfortable. For chronic pain, if where you’re sitting is becoming uncomfortable, move somewhere more comfortable. Forcing myself to continue to be uncomfortable because it’s “where I’m supposed to study” only pushes me into an executive dysfunction & shame spiral. If that’s the same for anyone else reading this, don’t force yourself to be uncomfortable. Sit somewhere else. Lay down & listen to educational content instead if you need to.

Go. Outside. In. The. Morning. SEE that the sun is out & it’s day time. FEEL the sun in the morning for 5 minutes. Acknowledge that half the world is awake right now. Feel the busyness & activity in the air.

DO NOT SET EXPECTATIONS FOR YOURSELF. Set LOOSE guidelines. Do not set a time or page limit for yourself. Study until the playlist is over. Read until your food is done cooking. Listen to a podcast sometime before 1pm. Set guidelines like this. Do not organize your day by actual time & time limits. (got this idea from a post titled something about “you can’t time the boiling point of water”)

Motivational music & speeches. Forcing yourself to open & play the playlist will be the hardest part. Once it’s open, it’s all up from there.

A reason to study. What motivates you to do this? Why are you doing it? Who for? Out of spite? Carry that. To fix the world? Carry that. Expose failed structures? Carry it. For money? CARRY. IT. Make a vision board for your “why” & set it as your phone Lock Screen.

That’s all I got for now. If anyones reading this, keep in mind, I haven’t tried these yet so idk if they will work & I know they won’t work for everyone. This is just my plan on how I hope to overcome my executive dysfunction to study successfully.

Southern summer challenge, día 1

1ro. de Diciembre • ¿Te gusta el verano?

Siii, me gusta mucho el verano. El calor no es de mi agrado pero el Sol me anima. El cielo luce hermoso y despejado, el aire es cálido y se siente la libertad. Además, mi cumpleaños es en febrero por lo que el verano me emociona. Todavía es primavera, pero ya estoy pensando en las actividades veraniegas que quiero hacer.

December 1st. • Do you like summer?

Yeeees, I love summer. I don't like hot weather but the sun cheers me up. The sky looks beautiful and clear, the air is warm and you can feel free. Also, my birthday is in February so summer gets me excited. It's still spring, but I'm already thinking about the summery activities I want to do.

[decolonize-the-left]

Artists creating specifically to sell and trading off (some of) their own style to do it, activists begging for attention and shares and media coverage because they aren't being paid enough attention, UNWRA desperate for donations, the percentage of people who don't mask in 2024 compared to deaths and disabilities, ppl who need to be convinced to vote with principles that save lives and that genocide is unacceptable, how a living wage or UBI is believed to be "unrealistic" despite the trillions in shareholder investment accounts.

....I'm starting to think Mainstream People™ fucking suck, ngl. In fact, dare I say that Mainstream People are the biggest obstacle to progress now.

Malcolm X said it was the white liberal as did a lot of other revolutionaries and thinkers.

I, however, think anyone who can hold their own comfort over someone else's suffering is the problem.

Why are the rest of us constantly begging and shouting and changing ourselves and our bodies in an effort to make them care about us? To make them see us? To give us rights? To bless us with the support needed to make a living?

Same shit, different generations. And idk about y'all, but I would love to be the last generations who ever had to hate themselves to survive.

#For starters: why are we asking and voting and protesting for rights. HELLO?? #THEYRE RIGHTS. THEYRE ALREADY OURS. #Secondly: it's been 500 years since pilgrims arrived #they do not call the shots anymore. And one of my rights is to form my own militia #to protect me from a fucked up government... are we waiting for an invitation to start calling shots? or whats the plan with that #cuz im good #id like to start talikg whats mine now ty #....anyway i have no fucking clue what to do #i do know that there two ways to get passed an obstacle tho. around it or through it #idk if you can just Workaround the majority and idk how to go through them either #reblog #politics #mainstream #dems #repubs #liberals #people #sociology #idk #equality #classism #capitalism #biden #lgbt #direct action #leftist #ndn #queer #2024 #social justice

kavetham different meeting au where theres a sort of fair for people who want to study in the akademiya to get to know each darshan, yknow those college fairs? where they talk to you about universities and courses? like that. and the kshahrewar and the haravatat booths are next to each other and kaveh and alhaitham are responsible for them and despite having just met they bicker with each other all. day. every future akademiya student that passes through one of their booths might as well have passed through both because they will not stop arguing about which darshan is better and which one the people talking to them should go to. its a very amusing experience to all involved except for kaveh and alhaitham themselves. and anyways. nuisances to lovers

#inspired by real life situation in the university/career fair i am at rn with my school lmao #the sociology girl and the law school guy wouldn't stop bickering about which major was better it was so funny #not hinting romance between them though that's weird they're real people. it just reminded me of kavetham because i have brainrot #anyways yeah that's my pitch for a 200k words slow burn academic rivals to lovers rated M kavetham fic #kavetham #haikaveh #my posts #alhaitham #kaveh #also what i described might sound like the interdarshan but no that was focused on games this is focused on studying

Should I read the dreamers trilogy. No, really, should I?? Opinions? Advice?

#trc #tdt #I follow a couple trc blogs who have Opinions about tdt #and I never tried to find out more #I am a bit previous about trc and especially ronan #so while I don’t mind seeing him struggle etc there is a part of me that likes to preserve the innocence of the gangsey in trc #I also read blue and gansey major in sociology? #what on earth

I changed colleges to study visual arts. dropped sociology after five years and being close to graduating, and yes it's as painful and humiliating as it sounds. but at this point if it swims like a duck (an artist) and quacks like a duck (an artist) the only thing left to do is to surrender to obvious destiny

#it's really funny to me. the transgender. people known to b eok with major life changes and decisions #to have been oblivious to this so long. but not really it all started in 2022 if im being honest #nothing that i studied resonated with me at all and anything close to actually making the sociology happen just wasnt enjoyable at all #it dawned on me last year when i didn't enjoy collaborating at a local trans org. neither in data processing or designing tools and stuff #and like. that was exactly what i dreamed of whne i was 18. and i just couldnt wait to go home and do literally anything else #also i just get stupider each passing year i couldnt pull it off anymore. all my last turned in work was embarrassing as fuck #sociology aborted me. thats it #in 4 years i'll be 28 so what's better than being 28 and doing what you can actually do and have new knowledge regarding it

My New School Mindset: Executive Dysfunction Edition

Content: I’m going back to college online after changing majors 5x, settling for an associates degree, and graduating from that with a 2.5 GPA due to mental health problems & a general lack of coping & self knowledge. I’m using this blog now to document my days, my plans, if they work, what happens, etc… and hopefully that will motivate me to follow through with my words & maybe help others who can relate.

This one is how I’m planning on starting & following through with assignments.

Essays: See: ‘big projects’

Small Assignments: Hyperfixate until the whole thing is done.

Graded Homework: Complete as you read the material. Complete small sections each day. As you review the material, do the part of the homework that relates to the material.

Not Graded Homework: Write all the questions down; now you’ve already started. It doesn’t matter WHEN you finish these. Just plan to finish them before the class or unit ends. Could read & study the material, answer the questions on your own, then go back to check if you got it right or need to mark the topic as something to study more later. Don’t stress over these so much. It’s just a progress checker.

Tests: Make it a priority at the beginning of the week. It doesn’t matter if it’s the one and only thing you do that day. Use your notes. Take however long it takes to hype yourself up & get it done. Half the week will be over after. Celebrate it.

Big Projects: Start 2-3 weeks before it’s due. Just write one paragraph. Or write a brain dump of everything you already know about the topic. Start the planning process or plan your talking points. Do something small like that each week. Keep the file on your screensaver page. It’s already started, now you just have to finish it.

Group Projects: Send the first message at the end of the week before the week the project starts. Just send the message. You can send it from your phone in less than five minutes. That’s it. That’s all you gotta do. Send it, get people communicating, then come back around to it as a priority task on Monday.

Presentations: Design the slides first. Plan what will be on each slide next. Insert media. Then text. Then transitions. It doesn’t have to all be done in one day. Each step can be completed on different days.

Not yet! My vacations start on December 30th. There are a couple of weeks left for my exams and delivery of final works, so this is a busy month. I am still trying to maintain a festive spirit, get Christmas gifts in time and meet my last goals of the year.

soooooo we never got to see that much of the societal complexities or internal power structures of the Hidden City in Rise and i was thinking it would be interesting to explore (i have a LOT of headcanons).

if I were to make a comic that also explores it,,,?? 👀

#so Nova has lore guys #and a LOT of it ties into the Hidden City and how i headcanon it works down there #so i've been brainstorming a comic that explores Nova's backstory and then later ties into Rise post-movie #would that be a point of interest for y'all? 👀 #(very much may do it anyway for my own satisfaction cuz it sounds fun but) #interest check #? #also usagi and big mama would feature in this as well as the Rise turtles later on #*stares in 10 pages of general brainstorming notes* #stars speaks #rottmnt #rise nova #tmnt oc #rottmnt hidden city #i was almost a sociology major guys forgive me i love examining society
