q - do you like the rain?

more depth study notes! I spent a really long time on these, collating info from the Netflix TV documentary Hitler's Circle of Evil, as well as my school textbook (which is kind of bad) and an extra study guide I bought.

I'd really recommend that you explore other materials to help in your study outside of the school assigned books, sometimes there are really detailed resources that are a huge bonus, especially when you need depth and detailed knowledge of a subject!

21.12.20 I've been trying a new study method for history, which involves me mind mapping whatever I know about a topic, then filling in the blanks and correcting it in red.

it's been particularly useful, esp when I'm feeling too tired and not up to a practice paper (which TBH, is becoming more and more often despite the increasing coffee intake) and I honestly think it's like,, study fatigue? my exams have been postponed twice, now scheduled for jan, and I've had to mentally prepare myself and study and then it just didn't happen twice...

what do you do when you feel like you're in a long slump? let me know pls!! I would love to try something... anything.

✨ hello tumblr! will you forgive the horrid quality and over used insta filter? (yes, you will, aw thank you)

welp, our schools done a flip-flop and I'm having online mocks next week! in an effort to clean up my space so that my desk can meet the camera 12 inch away from you regulation, I decided to clean up my room and organise my shelf!

finally got my binders and past year papers shelved neatly and labelled :) and wiped away tons of horrid dust :")

hows your weekend been? ✨

another angle of my nervous coordination notes ~ I need to get to highlighting my other chapter notes too.

q - what's your take on highlighting?

a - there are a lot of mixed opinions about it, I think a lot of a studies have shown it's ineffective for studying, but I'd say it's good for helping you pick out important details. I still highlight my textbooks, mostly to make it easier for me to write notes from because I can literally "see" all the salient points.

of course, there's also the attractive factor. if you're someone who, like me, enjoys colour, then add colour to your notes! take pride in what you do, because then ultimately, you'll actually want to make notes and want to study.

doesn't work for everyone of course, and highlighting the WHOLE textbook really defeats the purpose - what information do you need to make the connections? what can you do without?

at the end of the day, you don't want to be looking at your highlights only to see there is so much content it's overwhelming.

consolidate. summarise. revise.

Hey guys! I've been journalling a lot lately, as well as using my bujo for planning! This here is a snapshot of a story I'm writing with my friend, and it's essentially trying to hash out the basics of our magic system.

We are still very much in the planning phase, and honestly, I think this whole process of falling in love with our world is just... artful. I can't really find another word for it.

What's your favourite trope?

tumblr queue is the best social media functionality and yes, i will fight you on this ;)

when are you going back to school /uni?

I go back next week Monday and I'm absolutely PUMPED!! the school got a make-over (an absolute glow up) and though it's going to be super stressful and we need to organise a bunch of new duties for the Prefects,,, i miss it sm and can't wait to go back!

14th Aug - What is your favourite summer clothing?

... especially for beach-wear, it’s GOT to be breeeeezy long (or short) dresses with cute floral motifs, or bright, vibrant colours. I usually dress casual, all the damn time, so breakin’ out the breezy dresses is something I don’t usually do.

physics notes on wave diffraction, reflection & refraction! i took these recently in-class, and I have to say, one thing about online classes is (at least for physics) my notes are much neater since we go slower?

q - do you prefer online classes?

a - no, not at all! online classes aren't bad, I just miss the physical element of being in class & seeing my friends.

8 Jan 21. happy near year, study buddies! my promise to post more fell through, and that's mostly because this year got off to an interesting start. I went back to school on the 6th for (finally) my mock exams, finished my English paper and then we were told to go home because our school was closing down :")

unfortunately, we had one covid case (teacher was asymptomatic and didn't come to school that day, but was in sch previously to getting a positive test) and sooo we closed down. it's kind of scary honestly, and really wild, but thankfully and hopefully the rest of the staff test negative and nothing horrible happens.

all my study motivation has kind of evaporated at this point and I really can't bring myself to do papers or absorb any info ;( and I know I should be making use of this time and still preparing because we may have exams held online - hell, they could even be next week.

advice, anyone? hope y'all are doing okay!

6.08.2020

a look at my depth study notes for history! I'm combining information from my textbook, and this supplement book about Germany I got from a senior to create more consolidated notes - the downside is, obviously, the notes are muchhh longer and boyyy I already have more than fifteen pages.

it's a work in progress, I'm almost done, but hey, I'll get there eventually.

safe to say, I'm back from my break (of celebrating my bday yesterday with my friends, who are the sweetest people in the world I love them so much) and will be back to posting and 👊 gettin that grind ON!

summer study prompts i missed (there are A LOT oops) 17- what is the most important task you need to complete this summer? easy. all of my subject notes for my mock exams in nov!

18th July - What do you usually do during the summer?

Read, eat, sleep, study... occasionally, I go out with friends. 

19th July - What did you do during the summer when you were a young child?

I probably did a lot less as a young child. My parents would work a lot, so outside of short trips to visit my grandmother, I really just read books, watched TV... and didn’t do very much. 

20th July - Do you usually go on vacation during the summer?

Sometimes - ‘vacation’ is usually limited to family visits, because we don’t really holiday all that frequently. 

21st July - What is the best vacation you have ever been on? (note: does not have to have been during summer)

the BEST vacation I’ve had so far was our trip to Langkawi (it’s a gorgeous island in Malaysia) and it was lovely to be there! the water was gorgeous <3

22nd July - What is your dream vacation?

My dream vacation would probably be me, and my friends, going island-hopping, trying out water-sports, shopping and just generally having a blast doing whatever. The place doesn’t really matter all that much to me - but I’ve really wanted to go to Italy!

23rd July - What is the worst vacation you have ever been on?

ehhh, worst vacation... I mean none of my family vacations have ever been perfect or stress-free, there’s always something gone wrong or my parents fight over something... and i don’t really remember those kind of things. 

24th July - What is your favourite vacation memory?

fav vacay memory was probably glidin’ round on the back of a speedboat around langkawi, or racing around in go-karts and then crashing because i hit the breaks trying to turn (yikes) 

i’ll do the rest in a separate post :)

- final shot of my chemistry, ch14 notes pre-highlighting.

I've found more recently that the more condensed I can make my notes, the less I have a need to highlight. however, i still do highlight because it helps my eyes focus on the page - the colour draws attention to certain areas of the page.

highlighter advice - you do not need any fancy pens to make notes pretty! mildliners are (imo) good quality for their unique colour range, but not a must have. as long as you have colours you like it will work for you (i.e. don't use neon yellow if you hate it, because then you won't want to look at your notes or read them properly).

there's really a lot of research about how highlighting is passive recall vs active recall, BUT if it's something that makes your notes easier to read/more attractive for you, go for it!

at the end of the day, what's important is

doing things that will help YOU to study, or in my case, make me feel better/happier when I look at my notes.

what's your two cents?

7.8.20 - what's your favourite summer beach read book?

well, I don't actually have one, but any light-hearted cheesy book, a light romance, would be a good beach read!

ft. my history notes, which are still in progress 👍

~ here's a look at my Traveller's Notebook journal! I usually have the book in its goregous leather casing with some other refills, but honestly, now that I don't go to school I only really need this one.

I will be posting more of these in future, since I decided to fill whatever empty space in the journal that isn't scrawled and filled with black ink with some uplifting, inspiring quotes.

This particular week in June was:

" Be the energy you want to attract,"

Positivity doesn't come from the outside, it has to come from within. I try to remind myself that the reason why I'm feeling unhappy, or why I am feeling frustrated that the TV remote isn't working again, doesn't need to mean that I feel that way the whole day.

Be the energy you want to attract.

... more bio, anyone?

i have this epic list of items and notes I need to finish before I go back to school, which includes four chapters of chemistry 😭 , finishing this bio chapter, wrapping up history and some CS then I'm good to go!

any tips for staying motivated when in a slump?

for me, it's doing workouts or a nice, cold cup of coffee :)

15th August - What’s your favourite summer drink?

Have you heard of coconut shakes? If not, there’s a MUST TRY, especially if you’re planning a holiday to Malaysia once the COVID pandemic is over. Sweet, refreshing coconut meets vanilla ice-cream and it’s.... perfect. A little too indulgent for regular consumption, but hey, that’s why it’s a summer drink.
