Surviving college
I saw a really helpful post by @daisystudies about tips for college (link to post) and I felt inspired to share some things I learnt during my first year:
Commute will get easier - If you live close enough to your college, that you don’t have to move there, but far enough for it to be a long commute, I promise it’s worth it and it gets easier. Make sure to research ways to make commuting cheaper especially for students (most countries offer long term tickets for cheaper).
Everyone is just as lost as you are - Not even the older students are much wiser trust me.Being confused and stressed is super normal! It’s a big change, but you’ll adapt and it will get easier.
Everybody is lonely and everyone wants to make friends - People do not want to be alone and they will want to talk to you. Everyone seeks a companion and they are opened to a conversation. If you’re not brave enough to start talking to strangers (that’s okay) just try to look opened to talking to someone. Smile a bit, don’t spend all of your time staring into your phone, take part in class. I promise people aren’t as terrifying as they seem.
Professors who try to scare you are assholes and are not worth to stress over - I meet two types of professors: those who try to encourage students and those who are proud of their class being difficult. My very first lecture started with the professor listing reason why we don’t deserve to be there, which was scary. I later realised that people like that are not worth my attention. I promise you will meet great professors who will feel like mentors and will help you.
You’re largerly on your own - I know this sounds awful but stick with me for a second. In high school you are told all deadlines, reminded of important tasks and you get a very rigid schedule. In college it’s up to you to look up deadlines, find all necessary requirements and sign up for exams. This will be stressful at first but it also offers far more freedom and often allows you to do things on your own schedule.
Physical health and activity is way more important than you think - I beg you to move your body at least 3 times a week. Walk, do yoga, stretch, do sports, go to the gym - anything. Just make sure you don’t neglect your body just because of a busy schedule. It can and will do more damage than you might think.
College social life is a bit over romanticised - This might be the covid era student in me speaking but I still feel it’s important to mention. It won’t be like you see in shows and movies. Doesn’t mean it’s never fun... but still make sure not to expect the greatest years of your life. Best case scenario: you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Get a light laptop - this depends on what you study, but most majors do not need you to have an expensive computer. It’s just better to have something to have all your notes on and a lot of classes are so fast paced it’s impossible to hand write without having to go back and fill in large amounts of information, which in turn takes a lot of extra time.
Your mental health is not worth sacrificing for good grades or even a finished degree - Please set your priorities right in the beginning. Your health is the most important thing you have. You can always live an amazing life without a degree but not without your health.

I’ve been reading about Frank Kameny, an astrologer and crucial part of the gay rights movement who I’d never heard of until this New Yorker article about him in the June 29th issue. He’s described as “square and unromantic,”- which I think explains a lot about why I haven’t really heard of him. 
I think the straight need to romanticize and eroticize the LGBTQ+ movement throughout history as some poetic, tragic, pining battle tends to erase many of its pioneers who do not meet that rose-coloured view of things.

Today can only be described as tiring. I woke up at 7am and had 3 project reunions, besides working in all of my group assignments that need to be delivered this month and notes of this week since I promised myself that tomorrow I will do nothing besides relax and watch this week’s episodes of my dramas.
「  Day 27 of studyblr community challenge - Tag someone who makes you laugh 」
Like I said before I’m not really close with anyone in the commmunity so I don’t think that I can really answer this one.

sunday, may 17, 2020 | 2/4 ap exams in the bag! studying for bio on monday :)
i hope you all are doing well and staying safe ♡ that’s way more important than any studying and should be your top priority. i just wanted to share a technique that may or may not help you:
my favorite (re?)studying method that i’ve found is to annotate notes. (here is the video where i learned this technique. i love love love her channel, please check it out!) i made lots of notes over the year because that’s how i learn best, but imo it’s really difficult and time consuming to make new study guides, because not only do i have to look at my old notes and copy that, but also look at videos, etc. for new content...it just doesn’t seem helpful when i already put so much work into my notes, and only set aside a day to study (lol). the solution? note annotation.
i’ve been adapting it for my ap exam studying by watching videos (bozeman science >>>) and making new notes on top of my old notes from class. in these notes, i reinforce my old notes and add new content that i didn’t get in the first time around! this technique has also helped me decide which concepts i know really well, and which to improve on. i hope it helps you!
good luck to y’all!! i’m rooting for you!!

*gasp* the introduction post Hi! Hello, my name’s Sabrina, i’m 19 and this is me getting around to running an active study blog (it’s actually my 2nd time creating a studyblr, senior year kinda screwed up my plans the first time around). 
Can you believe i procrastinated writing this post for 4 years? yeah, i know. Though if that isn’t like half of me idk what is. The rest 50% could be summed up with ▫︎ books ▫︎ coffee ▫︎ stationery ▫︎ bullet journaling ▫︎ plants and ▫︎ music. 
I’m starting med school in October and i also enjoy learning languages, so this blog really is gonna be just a wild mix of everything from literature to biology. Original posts are (hopefully) coming soon :)
some less significant facts about yours truly:  ▫︎ i’m a fangirl and incurable perfectionist at heart ▫︎ will sacrifice self for a quality meme ▫︎ i rarely bother to capitalise my writing (it’s a miracle most of this post’s sentences begin with an uppercase letter, honestly)
that’s it, that’s the post guys, i’m tagging a few of my favourites below, i’m v excited to finally have this out there and hope to make new friends soon (i love meeting people so feel free to message me sometime:))
@studyspiration @studyingdawn @sweaters-tea-studying @medustudies @snooze-studies @eintsein @studywithinspo @phoebe-does @asteristudy @pastelmoon-study @joystudie @nicholestudyblr @umichstudies @decaffs @paperbackstudy @anoukostudies @studyspisces @obliviatestudies

Sleep
Okay listen - I know what you’re thinking. College students don’t sleep, though! And guess what? That’s absolutely true. I’ve had two cups of coffee today already and it’s only noon, but you need to learn how to sleep enough. Your body has limits and you need to learn what those are. I have had multiple friends who have fainted from not sleeping enough and guess what? They don’t perform better on tests that way. Figure out how many hours of sleep you need to get to function well. For me it’s about 5-7 hours per night during the week and about 7-8 hours per night on weekends (and I don’t have Friday class so Thursday nights count as weekends for me). This is probably the limit for keeping yourself healthy enough to function and I subsist off of coffee. If you don’t sleep you are going to get sick and your papers are going to be incoherent and you are going to gain weight from over eating. So just put down that paper, get your 6 hours and start up again in the morning. For majors that are reading based (i.e. English, History, Philosophy, Classics, etc) it is so important to get enough sleep so that you can actually comprehend your readings!
Plan
Your planner does not have to be beautiful, covered with script handwriting and cute small artist stickers to be worth putting time into (more power to you if yours is though — that’s a whole mood). I used Hobinichi Cousin planner to plan my day—chores, homework, and meals—but I also use iCal and an app called Things. My freshman year I thought that just having a paper planner would be fine but it did NOT work out for me. I was always late/forgetting meetings and running around like a chicken with her head cut off. Once I downloaded Things (for my assignments) and inputted work, social events, and when I’m really busy sleep/meals into iCal, I started getting better grades. Take 2 hours to plan. Seriously even if you have 372 things to get done by tomorrow, if you plan and make a linear list of the things you need to get done they will get done better and faster.
Things is a paid app. $10 for phone, $50 for Mac. It’s a bit of an investment for both but I have used it every single day for the past 2 years.
Socialize
Just me here with your local reminder that socialize does not mean you have to party. Let me tell you something, I haven’t gone to a party this entire year (it’s second semester) and I feel completely content about it. I am not saying that going to parties is bad. A lot of people have a ton of fun doing that, but let me tell you something—your social life cannot subsist off of parties alone. Invite people to brunch, make friends with the people in your classes by literally just talking to them (!!!), go on coffee dates with your friends as much as you can, take midnight ice cream runs, 1 am fried chicken runs, 9 pm boba study breaks, invite people over to make cookies, go to the cinema. Deep conversations and long talks will sometimes distract you from your work and guess what? That’s okay. That’s an important part of college too. Don’t shut yourself up in your room all day studying every day of the week. You are going to burn out. You need your friends and they need you!
Work smarter and harder
I cannot say this enough—utilize your resources! Go to office hours. It will literally save you to have a relationship with your professor. Not only are you going to get letters of recommendation, extensions when you really need them, and helpful tips—you can have amazing conversation and insight about grad school, research, and jobs. Go to the library. Not only are there a million books for your research project all grouped in the same section, but there are librarians who can help you find more resources with less effort. Use your databases, but also your own school’s archives. There is a reason we save so many books and newspapers. Also libraries are the absolute best place to study. This year I have tended to go to the most social floor because it keeps me awake and it reminds me that I have other people around me working late as well. Use apps. I’m saying this right now—DOWNLOAD ZOTERO. It will save you. It is an app and a google chrome extension which saves your sources in a database and then generates perfect citations/footnotes for your papers. It is the best thing of my life. Use google drive and keep your documents in organized folders. Organized virtual work is AS important as physical work. Also put some time into your LinkedIn ASAP—the sooner you do it, the easier it will be to keep it up to date.
Take care of yourself
Just be smart about your time and your mental health. Both of those I struggle with every day, but take solace in the fact that other people are going through it too. College is an amazing opportunity and even when it feels completely overwhelming it is still an extremely privileged position to be in. Do why you can to make yourself better, be there for the people who need you, grind on your papers and projects and research. At the end of the day your projects/papers are only going to be as good as your individual capacity allows them to be. Sometimes sleeping an extra hour is as beneficial as an extra hour of studying. Figure out what you need by making mistakes and forgive yourself! We are all just trying to make our way though.
