I have acquired several dusty tomes (books) from the ancient archives (college library) with which to perform evils (research paper writing).

#special thanks to the scribe (fellow student at the front desk) for helping me uncover my tomes. u a real one #local queer classicist posts #classics stuff #university stuff #university #classical studies #library #tagamemnon

organization: i know it's the most trivial advice in the world, but i swear it works. before doing anything, i take my planner and review everything i have to do, i divide the study by subject, amount of things to study and review spaces for exams. realistically, you can't expect to do it all in one day, but a good plan could almost allow you to sleep at night!

a clean workspace: i can't fucking concentrate if there's a mess aroud me, i get distracted easily, even by dust, so before i start studying i always deep-clean my desk. i know that not everyone can afford a personal and quiet place to study in their houses, so try to find yourself a small angle where you can really focus.

go to study in a library / café: i didn't believe it at first, but it's actually useful. if you have the opportunity to go to a library or a café after school ( or near your house ) do so. being surrounded by people who are studying like you really helps to focus, you'll be less inclined to get distracted and procastinate. i would feel uncomfortable using my phone in a library with other people who are doing their work while i'm sitting there scrolling on tumblr.

breaks: ik ik, not very blair waldrof, hermione granger, spencer hastings, rory gilmore of me, isn't it? but is it worth it. sometimes i end up having really bad headaches from studying and, even if i keep studying, the quality of my work decreases significantly. breaks are fundamental. i would not recommend using social networks for your beak, because they litteraly drain your attention, rather do your skincare, prepare yourself a snack ( eating is important! it's what makes you focus ), read 10 pages of your book, dance a little bit in your room, do stretching, go outside and buy some mint chewingum, something like that.

EAT!: girls, boys and theys, we know. i honestly think that almost every person that craves academic validation ends up developing a sort of eating disorder. it's not even the food, is the fact that you are too busy studying that you forget to eat, ignoring stomach cramps, or the fact that you didn't get that answer right and now you don't feel like you deserve the lunch. i understand bc i AM like this, like you. but think about it: you need to do it in order to survive ( but this is secondary to the grades, right? ) and to keep your brain active. you can't walk around with blurred vision because you haven't eaten or drunk for fourteen continuous hours. i swear that eating like a normal human being helps you to keep going.

sleep: same thing as eating, but with our terrible sleeping schedules. i know that school is toxic so we end up finishing our homeworks at 2 am everyday ( if we're lucky ) but when you have the chance, take a nap and recover.

repeat things as if you were explaining them to someone: this is litterally the fastest way ever to learn fundamental concepts when you're studying. imagine that you're talking to a friend that doesn't know anything about the subject that you're studying and try to explain the topic to them. finding simple words for a difficult topic will help you understand it thoroughly, on this basis you can then build an articulated and more academic speech. repeat things out loud, doesn't matter if you look crazy, you already are <3

check and organize your notes the same day: i never have time to take proper notes in class, so i review them as soon as possible, with the lesson still fresh in mind. it really helps me understand the subject and makes the further study much easier.

watch youtube videos: youtube is my favourite class. sometimes teachers are dumber than students and you, who don't have a degree in that subject and are tackling a topic for the first time, don't understand a damn thing. ofc not!! sometimes professors are terrible at explaining stuff, but fazal from pakistan isn't. i passed my physics class with a 10/10 thanks to an indian guy on youtube. documentaries and yt videos are a simple and nice way to understand better topics and do insights for extra credits.

delete social media: i'm gonna do another post specifically for this.

"STUDY!" wallpaper: last but not least, the dumbest yet the smartest advice, set as lockscreen a white / black / whatever background with a big fat "STUDY!" written on it. everytime you're about to pick up your phone and procastinate the wallpaper will scold you.

hope this was useful or at least fun to read byee

hii! I’m in university in my 3rd year and all is going well but i’m starting to have a super packed schedule. i’m getting everything done on time but some lab and club responsibilities have taken the brunt of my new schedule. do you have any recommendations for staying on top of your work (and not neglecting yourself in the meantime)?

Currently going through this, so I completely understand where you're coming from. Here are some of my tips:

Prioritize sleep and make getting at 6-7 hours of rest a non-negotiable in your life

Walk as much as you can to get some movement in and fresh air

Focus on eating healthy meals at least 80% of the time. Take your vitamins every day if you need any

Give yourself at least 30 minutes in the morning before you need to get ready/get started with your day

Have a work cutoff time for yourself every night. Book some relaxation time into your schedule daily (especially before bed)

Find one or two simple routines that you really enjoy and can easily incorporate into your day (mine are a cup of coffee in the morning and a walk home/a shower with tea in the evening)

Reframe the idea/habit of rest and not neglecting your needs as a burnout prevention strategy not "being lazy"

Hope this helps xx

Just had THE interaction of all time with two classmates

#HELP. #university stuff

[caricature-of-a-witch]

Hey guys :) I'm conducting a brief survey for a uni course and would be delighted if you could take 5 minutes to fill it out!

Here's the link (pspspsps you want to fill out my small survey about the thrilling topic of "the English definite article" so bad)

really shouldn't take more than 5 minutes - don't think too much about the questions or answers, just rate your spontanous immediate reaction to the 12 sentences on the scale.

I'm happy about every response I get, though if you're an English native speaker I'll be especially delighted because I'm vaguely worried I won't get enough native speaker responses haha. reblogs appreciated :)

Either way - thank you <3

hello kavetham mermaid au fans,

i’ve make it easier for new comers to jump to the next part of my kavetham mermaid au by adding links to the next part after noticing someone else doing it.

it’s long over due and for now you can only go forwards, not back (my apologies, it took a lot a lot scrolling). the new parts will have links to the previous ones and new ones, but not anything before part 14 (sorry again!!!)

small life update while we’re at it in case anyone’s curious. if not hope you have a good day:

—I finished my second year of university (currently waiting back on my exam results), which means i no longer feel depressed and will be able to turn out comic updated quicker (i have sketches for the next part already ready!)

—i joined a small business club on campus! we had our first successful vendor too just last month!

—i plan on quitting my artist position at my local anime club (the people are a bit too unpleasant, i’ve realized the friend group i made in there has some people in it I rather avoid, it’s quite toxic)

—I will be also selling merch at my first anime con but no official announcement yet until i fill out the form :D

My favorite professor in the history department (apologies to all the others) is naming my canes.

And they're puns, my wooden cane is Virgil after Virgil Cain and my collapsible metal one is Able, like Cain and Able and also disAbled. He says he'll name the decorative one once he can see it

He also says I should hit people in the ankles if they piss me off. He's supporting my disability rights and wrongs.

Honestly king behavior

The fact that I have to start thinking about my dissertation is wild to me.

I've not even technically started my second year of university yet (it starts tomorrow but that's neither here nor there).

#and of course my uni had to be *different* and call a dissertation an irp (independent research project) #i have two ideas currently for what i want to write but it's the thought of if it'll fill the 10k-15k word range that they want #but i also have to make it somewhat archaeology related as that is one half of my degree #aaaaaaa too many thoughts #university #dissertation #university stuff #university life #university student #uni student things #hepbaestus thoughts #hepbaestus #hepbaestus at uni

I would appreciate some advice, I haven’t been putting myself out (academically) because of a fear of rejection for a while, this year I decided to change that. I applied to a club related to my major I was interested in, and courses in my university. They don’t filter out participants in these courses, so I got an acceptance email with the details and attended the courses, I learned, benefited, and was excited to attend more courses, so I signed up for multiple courses outside of my university. It’s been a couple weeks and the club has sent acceptance letters, I kept checking my email and my spam folder, but I got nothing. The courses I signed up for sent acceptance letters, nothing. I didn’t expect it to hurt but it does. I know they can’t possibly accept everyone but I want to improve myself and learn more, but it’s hard when I keep getting rejected, and the door gets shut in my face. I don’t want to limit myself to my university’s courses (but I won’t not apply if it interests me). Any advice on dealing with this feeling of rejection (and a bit of inferiority to those who got accepted)? And how would you recommend I develop myself.

Thanks for your advice xx

Hi love. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Rejection sucks, especially when you're really excited and passionate about an opportunity.

It's completely normal (and healthy) to feel upset. Here are a few tips on how to deal with rejection:

Acknowledge the decision was outside of your control. Therefore, you never know what external factors played a significant role in the outcome. Detaching your contribution is the simplest way to not take the rejection personally and start moving past it

Choose to believe that all the opportunities meant for you will work out with a fair amount of effort/consideration on your part

Remember, before being in the trenches, you're perceiving the opportunity with rose-colored glasses – you don't even know if the reality of the opportunity equates with the vision in your head, so except that you're mourning a fantasy above all else

Consider why a specific rejection was triggering and find ways to work through/change the behaviors or patterns that lead to this insecurity

Figure out what you want, especially given this setback, and take daily action to actively pursue these goals (in this case, applying for courses and speaking with professors/fellow members on campus about more personal/professional development opportunities

Hope this helps xx

So me and my brother are taking the same class at the University which fine well ignore eachother but discuss our projects.

But we had to each pick a piece of English literature (very loosely defined) to cover for the entire semester final papers. And while I chose the Rocky Horror Picture show and the way that it was everything straight society feared about queer people and "immorality" at the time only dialed up (not important at the moment) E chose Scooby-Doo.

This man in his mid-twenties has chosen Scooby-Doo as his piece of English Literature for this term to write the final minimum 8 page paper on and I think that's beautiful
