Writing up the outline for my first Medieval history paper. Honestly the outline is the most important part of writing an essay in my opinion, it’s so helpful to organize your thoughts and then afterwards all you have to do is fill in the gaps and edit.

Shout out to mentally ill people who dropped out of school

- shout out to the kids who were “so bright” and ‘heading somewhere” and had to drop out because school was too much to handle along with mental illness

- shout out to the kids who struggled to get where they got before they dropped out

- shout out to the kids who tried and tried and tried and still couldn’t finish

you aren’t unintelligent because you dropped out of school, you aren’t a delinquent or a bad person because you dropped out of school, just because you did what you had to doesn’t make you a bad person

What’s the difference??—Making choices in Korean

Hello, everyone! Back again with another “What’s the difference??” post. This time we’re going to look at choice words in Korean. This post is actually inspired by a question someone asked on Reddit about the difference between seven (seven!) decision/choice words. I answered the question very briefly, but now I’d like to look at the words in more detail. 결정하다, 정하다, 마음먹다, 결심하다, 고르다, 선택하다, and 취하다… what’s the difference? Let’s find out!

결정하다 (決定)

We can consider 결정하다 as a pretty standard word for “decide.” You can use this when you make pretty much any sort of decision.

내년에 일본 여행 가기로 결정했어요. (I decided to travel to Japan next year.)

대학교 가서 뭘 공부할지 결정했어요? (Have you decided what you’ll study at university?)

정하다 (定)

정하다 is not so much as “decide” as it is to “set” something, like guidelines, rules, a meeting time, or something like that. 

동료들하고 의논해서 연수 날짜를 다음 주 금요일로 정했어요. (After consulting with my coworkers, we set the training date for next Friday.)

정해진 시간에 만나서 같이 출발합시다. (Let’s meet at the decided time and depart together.)

마음먹다

마음을 먹다 is a phrasal verb that is used to express making up one’s mind about something. There is a nuance of difficulty here, like the decision was not made lightly, or perhaps that you were hesitant or nervous beforehand and just decided to go for it.

태형 씨는 마음먹고 태국에 이사가기로 했어요. (Taehyung made up his mind and decided to move to Thailand.)

마음에 걸리는 할 일이 있으면 계속 끙끙 앓느니 차라리 마음 먹고 해버리는 게 낫다. (If there is something that you have to do weighing on your mind, it is better to just make a decision and do it than complain about it.)

결심하다 (決心)

결심하다 is similar to 결정하다 but has a stronger sense of conviction about it. It’s also similar to 마음먹다, but with less hesitation and more firmness. We could translate it in English as “to resolve, to determine.”

아이가 태어났을 때 유찬 씨는 가족을 위해 금연을 결심했고 이제 담배를 안 피운 지 거의 5년이 됐어요. (When his child was born, Yoochan resolved to quit smoking, and now it’s been almost five years since he last smoked.) 

너무 오랫동안 마음에 안 드는 일을 하던 효정 씨는 더 좋은 직을을 찾기로 결심했다. (Hyojung, who had been doing work she hated for too long, set herself to finding a better job.)

고르다

고르다 means “to choose” or “to select.” You can use it when you pick something.

나는 아무거나 좋아서 네가 골라. (Anything is fine with me, so you choose.)

오늘 중요한 면접을 봐야 돼서 옷장에서 가장 예쁜 원피스를 골라 입었어요. (I have an important interview today so I chose the prettiest dress in my closet to wear.)

선택하다 (選擇)

선택하다 is very similar to 고르다, with the small difference that it sounds a bit more… academic? formal? I’m not saying it’s a particularly formal word, but it is approximately the Hanja equivalent of 고르다. It’s pretty normal for Hanja equivalents to sound a bit ~fancier~ than their native Korean counterparts.

옵션들 중에서 하나를 선택하세요. (Please select one of these options.)

돈을 아끼려고 더 저렴한 걸 샀는데 사용해 보니까 잘못 선택한 것 같아요. (I bought the cheaper one to save money, but having tried it out I think I chose wrong.)

취하다 (取)

Lastly, we have 취하다! This word means to choose in the sense of taking up or enacting something. For example, you can use this verb when you talk about enacting a policy, taking up a particular stance on something, and so on.

네오나치들은 백인 우월주의 자세를 취한다. (Neo-Nazis take a position of white supremacy.)

질환관리본부 바이러스의 확산을 막기 위해 급한 조치를 취했다. (The Center for Disease Control took emergency measures to stop the spread of the virus.)

With practice, you can make the right choice (haha) between these verbs every time!

Happy studying~

ways to study for exams that are actually productive

use actual note cards for vocab. yes, apps like quizlet are dandy when you’re on the go, but actually physically writing out each note card helps put the information into memory faster than typing them.

visual learner? make charts and diagrams. they don’t have to be pretty. the lines don’t have to be perfectly straight. it doesn’t have to be photogenic. but if it helps you learn, do it.

after you take notes (in class or at home/from your text book), write down possible quiz questions about the material on the next page while it’s still fresh in your mind. later on when you’re studying for the test, use these questions to gauge what specifics out of that chapter you need to work on the most.

start sooner rather than later. i know, you’ve heard this a million times from every teacher ever. but it’s legit. especially as you get into harder level classes and college courses because there is literally so much material that the tests cover that you simply can not accurately learn all of it over night. instead, start about 10 days in advance (but of coarse, the sooner the better).

studying doesn’t have to be a big giant study session that takes hours. if you start far enough in advance, study sessions can be around an hour, hell even 45 minutes is a good. if you go too long in one study session your brain will be fried and studying will be pointless because your brain won’t be processing any of it. that’s why it’s important to take breaks and not just cram for 5 hours the night before an exam.

actually study. hold yourself accountable and make your education a priority. if you have homework and studying to do, make it a priority over going partying or watching tv. there will be another party. you can dvr your show. you can’t take your test on a later day because you don’t feel ready. so be ready.

be careful with study groups. if you have a study group with all of your best friends, lets face it, you’re going to end up spending more time talking about harry styles and supernatural than actually studying. it’s better to have a study group with people who are your friends, but not best friends. and it’s better to keep it between 5-7 people so that everyone can be involved.

if the material is just super confusing and you can’t seem to understand it no matter how hard you study, it’s not you. it’s the way you were taught it. each teacher teaches a bit differently, and maybe their style of teaching just isn’t for you. if this happens, find a way that explains it the best for you. for example, if chemistry is just super confusing for you, try watching the Crash Course chemistry videos on youtube or have a friend explain it to you. this will give you a completely different perspective on the material and will help you understand it better.

at the end of the day, remember that everything will be okay. studying can be stressful, especially if it’s in a class that you struggle in. but i promise you that you are not the only one who struggles sometimes in school, it’s a part of being human. as long as you actually put in an effort and try your best, be proud of yourself. take a deep breath. and remember: you got this.
