hey! I saw the post of your Great Gatsby annotations, I was just wondering if you use a colour coding system for your annotations bc it looks really nice!

Yeah! I also posted it in the comments, but red is for literary devices, green is for vocab/word choices I found interesting, and blue and brown are for tracking different literary themes. I can’t quite remember which color corresponded to which because that post was from more than a year ago but I believe brown was for economic analysis and blue had something to do with synesthesia?

hey! long time no see :) are you still posting?

I took an extended hiatus sorry for the late reply but I might get back into it soon?

wOAH !! it’s been a hot minute since i’ve posted hasn’t it? what is it? 7 months? oh well !! i’m back now, right? and i didn’t skip the past 7 months. here’s my loooong overdue october spread !! this month was quite a lot, since it was halloween and also my birthday month. i decided to do an overwatch theme because i bought a bunch of junkrat skins for my birthday! i also mixed in some halloween elements like the “black” cat, the crows and the pumpkin. more spreads to come in the future, for real this time !! • 🗒: 0.5 mechanical pencil, black and orange muji capped gel pens, orange zebra mildliner • from my studygram !! • here’s a song: out of my league - fitz and the tantrums • tap/click the photo for higher quality!

hey guys!!! I had my last exam yesterday and now I’m freeeee. I haven’t been the best at updating my blog during these extra stressful past two weeks, but I’m so ready and happy to have time to do fun things now! And by fun, my nerdy self mean language learning, looking at next semester’s subjects, making my own printables and reading the books I bought right before exams ✨ ig: nerdysophie

05. 16. 19 | What a great day to be alive, I got my Physics exam results back and I got an A on the exam, which shocked me because I honestly did not feel as confident as the results came out to show. I am extremely happy and now I just need to prepare for my next Organic Chemistry Midterm (which I know won’t end well lol)

I studied on campus today and everyone in the study room looked so sad because there’s only two days left in the exam period and we all are all unlucky enough to not be done yet. I’m almost there though! One more final and I will officially be done 3rd year.

I’d like to think that I’m prepared for my memory final tomorrow, but, when I was studying, I learned that our judgements of our own learning aren’t very good (I feel like I’m constantly getting called out while studying – but at least that means I’m learning something)

I’m trying to expand this project and add all kinds of new features. If you want to help, you can pledge 1$ to my patreon here, and in exchange, you’ll get access to a second project where I try to create the coziest/warmest art collection on the internet.

Actual good first-time college student advice:

Wear jeans/pants that “breathe” and bring a sweater, even if it’s scorching hot out, until you know which building blasts the AC to 60 degrees F and which feels like a sauna

Backpacks with thick straps are your friend!  Messenger bags are cool and all but if you’re commuting with a lot of stuff, symmetrically styled backpacks are better for your back

You are your own person and you can walk out whenever you need to or want to, so long as you’re not disrupting the class.  Meaning you can go to the bathroom without permission, take a breather if you’re anxious, answer an important phone call, etc.

If you don’t like the class on the first day, if you can- DROP THAT CLASS AND TAKE ANOTHER ONE!  It’ll only get worse from there!

If you can, take a class outside your major; it’s a good break from your expected studies.

You are in charge of your schedule.  Your adviser and guidance counselor is there to ‘advise and guide’ but if you don’t like certain classes and you can substitute for others, that’s your choice.

Consequently, if you are changing anything drastic in your plan, talk with your adviser and instructors.

Pay attention to your credit hours and grades.  Never leave this to the last week of school, you will be sorry and stressed beyond belief!

Unless it’s a lab book or otherwise specified, go to the class for a week or so before buying an expensive textbook.  Some classes, while having it on their required list, do not actually use the textbook a whole lot and you might find some of it scanned online.  Rent if you can or buy used online (schools actually don’t give discounts).  Use your best judgement on what you think you need.

Tell the people who go up to you selling or advertising things you are not interested in that you are in a rush to class and don’t have time to listen to them.  It’s less rude and they’ll leave you alone.

The smaller the class, the better it is to have some sort of acquaintanceship with a couple classmates.  They might save your ass if you are absent one day or need to study.  And talking with them makes the time go by faster without it being so insufferable.

You don’t need to join a club or sport, but internships are cool and useful!

If you can afford it, take a day off once or twice each semester if you’re too exhausted.  Just be aware of what you missed and if it was worth missing!

Your health is the most important, this goes for mental health too!!  Note: College-age/upper teens is when mental disorders like depression and anxiety are most commonly diagnosed.  Most schools have therapy services, especially during exam time.  Look into it if you need to!

Communicate with your professor if you are having trouble with something.  Anything.

Eat and stay hydrated.  Bring a water bottle and snack to class.

All-nighters will happen but never go over 36 hours without sleep.

It’s going to be hard and there will be times you might think about giving up.  This WILL happen.  You just have to make sure what you’re doing isn’t making you absolutely miserable and/or there is something rewarding and positive to look forward to at the end!

1 May 2019

My new bullet journal is set up. I had a fantastically productive day, especially taking into account I was beat from work. I’d show my algebra but it was very messy. 😅

Hit an hour for French for the 50 Hours challenge!
