Making a come back to studyblr because god I need get myself on track this year. I am halfway through law school now and while my peers seem to be making decisions as to their careers and steering themselves accordingly, I am more confused than when I started law school! Love this for me.

Plus, law school was going great academics wise but the past semester turned me into an academic victim. The doubts and insecurities are really coming in full swing.

Okay. Can't really do anything about that now apart from putting my head down and working my ass off.

Please pray for me💌

1. ainda indecisa se farei um 100 dias de produtividade - tendo em vista que nunca completo os que eu começo, mas seria uma boa oportunidade de adaptar para mim.

oie! apesar de estar de recesso férias da faculdade, o grupo de estudos continua a todo vapor. estou tentando dividir meu tempo livre com os estudos e leituras por prazer, está fluindo e sendo cansativo ao mesmo tempo (sei que o semestre vai ser muito pior quando voltar).

o grupo de estudos do qual faço parte tem o foco em estudar Violência de Gênero contra a Mulher e Feminismos. a dinâmica é, resumidamente, a cada semana temos um texto para ler e discutir nos nossos encontros, sendo que a apresentação do texto varia de cada componente por semana (quem vai apresentar esse texto sou eu).

acabei imprimindo o texto pq estou um pouco cansada de ler em telas, até mesmo o kindle deixei de lado nos últimos dias.

voltei a assistir as lives de leitura e que saudade que eu estava 🫶🏾

Today was a little bit rough emotionally, but I changed my sheets and did some more work on the online course. I also cleaned up around my temporary room and burnt some Dragon's Blood incense, so I managed to stay at least somewhat productive.

Here’s some of my very messy notes from my cramming session today right before my ethics final. All I can see is thank goodness I’m done with it. ✌🏻

Tip For Creating Thesis Statements in Essays

Hello everyone! I thought I would share a tip I recently learned when it comes to creating thesis statements in essays, something I used to struggle with tremendously.

Your thesis statement is going to be the answer to whatever questions your essay is asking.

For example, in my art appreciation class, I was asked to answer the question of what the artist's intentions were when creating the artwork and why it may be misunderstood today. So my thesis statement looked like this:

After viewing [insert name of artwork here], by [insert artist name here], I was determined to discover the intentions behind creating this portrait and why people from today's society may misunderstand it.

I hope you found this helpful!

30.10.2023 | 2/100 days of productivity 😅

a segunda começou ótima: meu professor cancelou a aula, então tive 30 minutos de leitura hoje antes de começar a estudar (para surpresa de ninguém foi o continente e como é difícil largar desse livro).

continuei a leitura do texto de ontem, terminei e já fiz toda divisão do seminário. agora é por a mão na massa, pesquisar, fazer slide e estudar um pouco mais - esse professor é bem exigente, então nunca é demais se preparar.

amei conseguir cumprir minhas metas diárias logo cedinho e hoje percebi que meu foco ao ler foi muito maior.

essa foi minha singela caixa de entrada quando cheguei no estágio, mas amo ter o que fazer e estar ocupada que nem vejo a hora passar.

bom, tentei dar uma lida no conteúdo da apresentação, mas por hoje vou encerrar o dia lendo umas páginas do meu livrinho já que amanhã começa o dia cedo!

Disco Elysium and my Badtzmaru plush came in! Did some work on the online course as well. I'm currently downloading the Disco Elysium updates on the Switch version, and I think I'll do a sheet mask while it downloads. I'll finally have my own room Thursday or Friday, and I'm really looking forward to it.

Notion - BASIC and EASY Note taking system FOR STUDENTS

Hello everyone!

I hope you are well!

For this weeks #Microbiologynerddweeklytips post, I shall be sharing my university note taking and organisation system using Notion.

I have been using Notion for roughly 1 year, and have used it to organise my second year university studies, in addition to my voluntary position as the VP of my society.

So below is a very BASIC and EASY to use format you could adapt for yourselves! Enjoy😊

Contents

As a directory to everything I need at university, I have a contents page. Here I have each of my modules, as though they were chapters of a book. Each leading to a separate page of their own.

After this I have the required ‘modules’ for my placement year. I have arranged this slightly differently to my regular university notes - more details on this later.

Below this you can find pages for my summer microtalks hosted by SFAM. I attend these weekly and make notes in that subsection.

And finally I have a section for Taekwondo, to organise tasks I have to complete as the VP of Taekwondo.

Module pages:

So i have tested 2 different methods for module layout, each only having a slight twist.

- Please click the photos to enlarge -

In the photos above, I visualise the 2 different systems. Each of the systems involves having a new cell per lecture. However, in the first 2 photos (from left to right) I have separate pages for my lectures vs my lab notes. Whereas on the right, I have my lectures, labs, extra reading and questions all formulated into one table. Clicking the See All button at the top left of the table, above the search bar, you can choose to view classes by type i.e. just see my lectures or just see my lab notes for example.

The second system I have found works best, otherwise you are just clicking too many buttons to get to the area you need. However, in future I shall implement the ‘breadcrumb’ at the top the page, like i did with the first and second photos. (Breadcrumb = univeristy/ BMS2037:cellu../lecture below the page titles). Breadcrumbs make it easier to shift between pages instead of clicking the back button all the time. They are essientally hyperlinks to other pages.

Tip: to insert a breadcrumb simply put /breadcrumb and a breadcrumb will appear. This works for anything you are trying to insert e.g. a table

You can also choose to insert materials e.g. any lecture slides or resources you used within that lecture. Personally I dont find this helpful, as our VLE is clearly laid out with our lectures. But it might be something worth trying, as you can also insert pictures or any sort of media you require.

I also use the tick box function to keep track of whether I have written the lecture into Anki cards (flashcards)/ attended the lecture.

Side note: Please ignore my spelling/ how I label lectures, they make sense to me, they dont need to be 100% correct - right?

Internship/Placement Page:

I have recently been dabbling in the layout I would like to use for my internship year, however, I shall update you at a later date with any additional details, as due to COVID-19 the formate of the year and my assessments has changed. I also will find out more when I start my internship... which is soon - yay!

I’ve decided to have reminders at the top, which I inserted using /callout - you can change the emoji to anything you would like. This is for me to know instantly any important documents or tasks that I need to complete.

The external work to that provided by my internship is included in the table. This is essientally the coursework I have to complete on the side of the placement. Here i decided to note the deadlines and percentage of the year that it is worth. This is just to help me grasp the format of this year, since as mentioned above, it is slightly different.

Underneath this I have a selection of details to do with the company. This includes my acceptance letter and any insurance forms I need to send off. I just wanted to have them at hand so i can reference them at any time.

Summer 2020/Taekwondo pages:

These pages I format the same as the ‘Module’ Pages, so I haven’t included any pictures etc.

Miscellaneous things:

- NOTION IS FREE FOR STUDENTS - if you have an educational email, you can sign up for free! If not, packages start at $4 a month, which isn’t too bad for something you use frequently!

- This service is avaliable on tablets and computers, so anyone can take advantage of this organisational software!

- You can change the cover and icon at the top of each page. They include emojis and a standard image database, but you can also upload your own unique images if you desire.

- There are also template designs for pages, with different themes for different needs. So if you don’t want to start one from scratch you have lots of options to choose from. Use those as a base and edit them from there! For example, there are calendars, habit trackers, resume trackers and whole load of other things.

- Using a device for notes, such as notion, allows you access to any notes you have made at ease. It is organised, and you are unlikely to lose your notes. Paper is great until you scrunch up that important sheet, or it rains and the paper gets wet, or you are carrying every single note you have ever made - that can become heavy. Just something to bear in mind, especially if you can afford a laptop/ note taking device of some kind.

- You can create multiple pages for different aspects of your life (photo below). For example I have 2 additional pages, 1 for personal things and another for blog post ideas - to keep you guys entertained... haha! 😆

Conclusion :

What I have shared here is a very BASIC overview of how I use notion. If you desire a detailed in depth report of how notion works, it might be worth checking out Ali Abdaal, who can give you this information. As for me and what I require from the service, Notion has been working really well, keeping me organised with all my notes in one area. Knowing what I am doing, when, and being able to keep up with the speed of lectures - considering my writing speed is questionable. 😂

When you first download notion and look at all the templates, it can be a bit overwhelming/ exciting. Start with what you need, and then explore new ideas that you want to incorporate. There is no point setting up hundreds of pages if you aren’t going to use them, just like writing out pretty notes doesnt help you learn content - but more about that in a future post. Start small, being organised involves consistency, you can’t be consistent if you have given yourself too many things to do daily. Or at least you are unlikely to be.

One word of warning, Notion is not compatible with the Apple Pencil, so if you like writing notes on your iPad, this may not be the best software for you. As well as this, if you are a faster writer than you are typer, DO NOT USE NOTION. The whole basis of this app or at least how I use it, is to stay organised and write notes productively and efficiently. If you prefer writing, keep at it! Don’t just switch because suddenly you hear lots of tapping on keyboards in the lecture theatre.

Play to YOUR STRENGTHS , enhance what you are good at, not what everyone else is doing. As always, you’ve got this 💪

Let me know if you have any questions, or whether you’d like any further posts/details about my notion workflow. I’m happy to answer any queries you have.

Speak soon,

Lucinda x

day 1/100

hey there, i desperately need motivation to do anything for school, so here goes nothing. i’m gonna try this studyblr thing out for a bit, we’ll see what happens. starting at the bottom so it’s gotta get better from here right? Not starting off super strong, as Thanksgiving break began today, but i wrote 3 pages of a 5 page paper. ran some errands as well, hope to finish more assignments in the next couple days.

Am I surviving my first semester of my PhD? Possibly

29ᵗʰ of July, 2021

I don't remember my camera being this shitty, but I guess it'd have to do... I started a 30 days of productivity challenge for myself because 100 days weren't it for someone like me with commitment motivation issues. I'm hoping to at least finish learning the basics of social media management and have read 3 books by the end of this so wish me luck lol

i’m back, now a graduated unemployed adult 😌 ive been away for a while during mocks & exams season, but now i’m happily in quarantine after traveling home 🏠

so here’s a book to start off my summer— perfume by patrick süskind. a novel about a young murderer’s journey of self-discovery, and absolutely the most bizarre and grotesque book i’ve ever read— the plotline threw me off every other chapter, and you can hear me yelling “what???” every now and then, yet it’s such a literary gem! the writing is so vivid and descriptive and especially uses the sense of smell in such a witty way that i’ve never read before. i would definitely recommend if you enjoy somewhat dark literature and don’t mind reading gruesome details of death and murder!
