Hello there! I'm Dainty, a grad student studying Public Health in the United States. I'm in my second semester and hoping to get my masters by the end of 2026. This semester's classes are Epidemiology and Biostatistics (which I'm really enjoying far more than I thought I would!)
I'm a bit bad at consistently studying every day so I hope that this studyblr helps keep me accountable! Going to keep track and share my study achievements here no matter how small.

what i've learned from one year in uni
...as a humanities student focussing on languages and history.
do all your readings at least a week in advance. honestly a lifesaver. make a list of the readings you'll need to have done for the next week and divvy them up along the current week.
annotate your readings. either by hand, or download them, import to a pdf annotation app (or just google drive) and make comments/highlight important parts,
don't sign up for early or late classes, especially if you're a commuter. i signed up for a 9-11 AM class and a 6-8 PM class and they were both hell even if I enjoyed the material. Don't do it.
join the class group chat. if there isn't one, make one. you might not think you need it, but you do, you really do.
if you can't get yourself to do the whole reading, read the first sentence of every paragraph. listen, we've all been there when the reading is 36 pages and you're just not feeling it. most well-written academic articles start with a topic sentence that will give you a sense of the general direction of the work, so skimming the first sentence of each paragraph can actually equip you better than nothing for your discussions.
the syllabus is your bible. read it THOROUGHLY at the beginning of term and reference it CONSTANTLY.
skip lectures. NEVER skip tutorials. it's better to not skip lectures either but sometimes they're just not helpful. but ALWAYS go to tutorial.
find out your task capacity and worship it. i can't allocate myself a certain number of hours of work a day because sometimes i can work for 10 hours and sometimes i can barely focus for two. however, i can generally manage around 5 academic tasks a day. so I'll allocate myself two readings, an outline, a draft and a note-taking session and that works pretty well for me.

not getting A’s doesn’t mean you’re not smart
not getting A’s doesn’t mean you can’t have a good future
grades don’t define you, they’re only a small part of who you are as a whole human, and people need to know that.

10/11/2021 - 1/100 days of productivity 
Restarting this challenge again, and here’s just a picture of my IB Gov HW. Senior year is already looking pretty stressful, so I’m going to start using my studyblr again to hold me accountable.

I've always felt like my pics weren't aesthetic enough for this community which is stupid if I think about it for 1 second. This is about progress and learning, not wasting time trying to take a pretty picture (which may come as a talent for many people, but not me). So my first original post in almost 2 years .... Ta da ! I'm currently part of a book club and we are reading 'La Sombra del Viento' from Carlos Ruíz Zafón ♥️ today I'm going to be hosting the online meeting so I made a few notes.
PD. I always put leaves or flowers in books. So when I take a book from my bookcase I have to be careful of things falling off !
I hope you are all safe ♥️

Get to know me tag
Tagged by @zahra-studies, ty lovely!<3
What’s your name?
Willow
What year are you in?
I’m going into Year 12 (England).
What are you studying?
A-Levels: French, Biology and Art
After graduation, what next?
Hopefully taking a gap year to work in France, before going to university and studying French and ab initio Spanish.
Are you a morning or a night person?
Can be either tbh.
Front/middle/back of the class?
Front.
Best feedback from a teacher/professor?
Honestly, nothing specific comes to mind. However, there was one teacher who always saw me as more of a human than a student, and acknowledged my accomplishments outside of her subject, and tried to find the parallels between them, in order to motivate me. Somehow she always seemed to know how my mind worked, even though we didn’t talk much about personal things.
Best study tip?
When preparing for language speaking assessments, remember strings of vocab, rather than whole sentences - it makes your answer seem more spontaneous and natural. You can also use this preparation to use much more high-quality vocab, if you’re not focusing on remembering every detail to a sentence.
3 fun facts
My favourite flower is lavender.
I play bass.
I play for the girl’s team.

As someone who spends a *lot* of time online, especially with the current half-online schooling system my school uses, I thought it would be helpful to share some apps, websites and extensions that make my learning experience a lot easier! I’ve seen a lot of master posts like this by other studyblrs, but I often get overwhelmed by the many options they recommend for each function; so I thought I’d share the ones that I find work the best for me :)
desktop apps
Spotify - for music & podcasts
Drawboard PDF - helpful for annotating and reading PDFs!
Grammarly - great for correcting English grammar!
Virtual Cottage - very cute lil productivity tracker; plays lofi & rain sounds, kind of like forest but cuter! Has a full-screen option.
Discord - ok this isn’t a study app, but given that we’re at home a lot of clubs at my school use servers on Discord to organize & hold meetings!
websites
sleep calculator - helps you figure out when you should go to bed
CBC Gem - has a ton of free Shakespeare performances in full HD
duolingo - free language-learning website! 
conjugemos - Literal life-saver for learning Spanish grammar
wordreference - Great language dictionary/conjugation resource
unsplash - free HD pictures
free harvard courses - what it says on the tin!
chrome extensions
coffeelings - basically a “pixel a day” bujo page that you don’t have to draw out by hand!
smallPDF - file conversion & compression
Forest - productivity
Reading List - helps you bookmark webpages & articles to read later
LanguageTool - grammar and language correction in multiple languages
Grammarly - grammar and language correction
MyBib - citation generator
PrintWhatYouLike - print the content of a webpage w/o ads
SleepMode - set your webpage to close at a certain time
Outliner -  simplified, clean outlines & annotation features
WHA New Tab - clean new tab page with clock/quotes

school and anxiety
just a disclaimer first, this is an incomplete list and it's just based on my personal experience! everyone's level of anxiety and experiences with it is different so some of those might not be helpful. feel free to add your own!
PLANNING. We know planning is important. But it's also exhausting and maintaining a planner in which you write every day seemed very hard for me. I was already stressed out about it in mid-September! If you find yourself in a similar situation, my advice is: homework calendar. Take a little calendar to class every day (little ones don't weigh a lot) and whenever you get homework or a test date, write it down! It isn't as stressful as a whole planner and you still remember about homework!
HOMEWORK. In the perfect scenario, students do all of it. But it's not easy, especially when you have anxiety or go through depressive episodes. Figure out who actually checks homework and who doesn't. My math teacher gives us tons of homework and never checks it, so I save those for test prep.
TEACHERS. If it's possible, talk to them (or have a trusted adult do it) about what's going on. I know it varies from teacher to teacher but some of them are really understanding. A school's counselor opinion could also be helpful.
SCHOOL COUNSELORS. Again, experience varies here. If your counselor is okay, make a deal with them (like "is it okay for me to come over when I feel a panic attack coming?"). It feels a little safer, knowing there's a place where you can go and calm down.
THERAPY. If it's possible, go to a therapist! Try to set the meeting hours directly after school so you don't have the time to sit at home - once you do, you will not feel like leaving.
TIME MANAGEMENT. Sometimes it feels like leaving things for later is a brilliant idea. It usually is not. Try doing little things, like bits of research or reading: on the bus, during breaks...
AVAILABLE SPACE. If school breaks get too loud for you, go to the library. You can just sit there in peace and quiet! The advice also refers to your home. Change rooms where you study. Or change places in one room. Even sitting on the other side of the table makes it more interesting to my brain.
A PLAN JUST IN CASE. Having a panic attack at school is definitely not something enjoyable and I sincerely hope it never happens to you. But have a plan in case it does! Knowing the exact steps calms me down a bit and I don't have to worry about that thing adding to my anxiety.
NO ALL-NIGHTERS. It's actually important for everyone. But I learned it the hard way, all-nighters and anxiety don't mix well. Sleep before a test because even low quality sleep is better than the jittery feeling of anxiety and sleep deprivation.
STUDY METHODS. Anxiety really takes a lot from your energy. Study smart, not for long. My recent method is reading my notes outloud while gesturing with something (I'm using a plastic pitchfork, and I have used a sword in the past).
SELF-CHECK. Yes, anxiety sucks. And it makes you feel bad. Whenever you feel it hit, ask yourself some questions. The basics are: did I eat? Did I drink water? Am I getting enough fresh air? Have I done anything nice today? (I created a special printable table for myself with questions like that, I could upload it if anyone wants to use it!)
That's it from me! Again, experiences vary but I hope someone finds those helpful! Feel free to add your own tips. This is also your reminded to pour yourself some water and drink it 💖
