Biggest life lesson or advice you would give to others:

The most important thing you can ever do for yourself is build up a good group of friends/family. Invest in your relationships no matter how difficult it is to fit in time. Because lots of things happen on this journey of life and different things will strike different ppl at different times and you will need people to lean on emotionally, physically, etc. I know we are in an age of independence and everyone living alone but no matter how much screentime we consume and advice we can get from youtube videos nothing replaces real humans who care about you and you care for them! A single smile from someone you know can do more for your problems than 100 informative youtube videos.

Personally I think sometimes as studyblrs we can become so engrossed in our studies and goals we may sacrifice time with loved ones without batting an eyelid. But we need those relationships!

I’ve never heard of blurting, though after looking it up I think it would help me a lot! Thanks for suggesting that.

Also I wanted to do practice tests but couldn’t figure out how to do them but I’ll look into UQuiz. Thanks so much, because yeah a lot of study tips I’ve been told to do are passive (like highlighting and rereading) and they never help me actually retain the info long-term.

Okay genuine question that feels stupid to ask at this point in my life: how do you study with your notes? Because I’m currently having to blast through writing notes and I know I will not retain anything right now.

I don’t know if it’s ADHD or what, but I also get bored with a lot of the study methods I’ve heard of. Like flashcards, highlighting, etc. It just feels like I learn it again for 5 minutes and the information is then gone from my brain.

What could I do to help study for quizzes/tests? And if this helps, it’s mostly for my intro to sociology class. Studying Spanish is a lot easier, but sociology feels harder to apply to my life since with Spanish I could watch a Spanish show or listen to music in Spanish.

i see a lot of people talking about how awesome it is that countries are singing in their own languages at esc and that there should be a year where everyone has to sing in their native language, and then they add “and the uk should have to pick a language from a different country” and i just want to take this opportunity to remind you that the uk does, in fact, have multiple indigenous languages that we would be able to choose from other than english: scots, scottish gaelic, welsh, irish, cornish and manx. most of them are vulnerable to some degree, and two of them (cornish and manx) have been revived from extinction as a first language. just imagine how awesome it would be to see a song in one of those languages.

A messy desk always feels like I have a bunch of tabs open physically. Am I trying to plan, write notes, read a book, draw, paint, or eat lunch? No one knows. Not even I 🥲

#felt this 😅
