Trying something new with a super simple, box spread this week. Preparing for formal presentations is kicking my ass, but I think by the end of the next week I’ll come out of them stronger and more confident in my work!

Now Playing:

Poison & Wine- The Civil Wars

Mom jeans + philosophy papers + journaling + project planning. The end of this semester is coming so fast and I’m trying to make every moment count! Also, starting to plan outfits for my summer trip… any guesses to where I’m off to? It’s in Europe!

Now Playing:

Shelter- Dermont Kennedy

First Burn- (Hamilton) Ari Afsar, Julia Harriman, Lexi Lawson, Rachelle Ann Go, and Shoba Narayan

Warm tones for this week, inspired by the color palette in a series of hand photographs I found in a magazine spread. Sooo many projects and papers coming up this week as my spring semester is quickly coming to a close. Thank God for the weekend!

hi emma ! do you have any tips to remember a lot of things more easy ? im getting stress now cause i have a super important exam next month and i dont know how to improve my memory. If you can, please give me some advice like what time should i study ? what can i do to improve my memory ? thanks so much !

Hi! Thank you so much. I’m glad you recognise it heh! Try a few of these things:

read and summarise - read the passage over. Highlight or underline key words and only key words! Summarise in your own words what you’ve read. Try to make it simpler and more to the point.

listen to audio - either place your notes into google translate or if you have a mac, select the text and click “add as spoken track to itunes”. That way you’ll get a file just talking about your notes which you can add to your phone. I did this with an essay two years ago and still remember it haha!

make sure your studying in an active and meaningful way - just passively studying isn’t going to put the information in your brain. You need to find ways to engage your brain. This could be using different study methods such as mind maps, study groups or flash cards!

handwrite your notes - by writing things out you’re giving your brain more time to process the information and therefore it is being more absorbed.

set up a study schedule over time rather than trying to cram - you’re better off doing an hour of study of a topic over a few days or weeks compared to trying to memorise everything in 4 hours.

talk about it to someone - ask a family member or friend to test your knowledge. Try to explain the concept to them without your notes. If you can manage, awesome! If not, you’ll be able to see where your knowledge gaps are.

use mnemonic devices - this could be making a story, an acronym, or rhymes!

get some sleep - sleep is an easy way to boost your remember. A lot of people recommend reviewing notes or flashcards before bed!

use a colour code - I love colour coding my notes! It helps me visualise my notes when I need to remember things!

follow the curve of forgetting - You can’t be expected to remember every single thing from a class. Here is a graphic on the curve of forgetting. As you can see with the blue line, most of what you learn is forgotten if you don’t review it. But what the other lines show is how is can be retained if you review consistently. Make an effort to review your notes after class, after a day, after a week, and after a month. I have this printable which may help!

I hope this helps!! x

I’m satisfied with my marketing notes this time around hehe, and I am loving the post-its. I usually don’t buy Post-It brand sticky notes cos there’s usually some cheaper alternatives, but they are working so greatly! They stick so well but not in a super sticky way, so much so I sound like a sponsored ad. 

I woke up nauseous today and ended up skipping my lecture for the first time ever (but only because I knew it the class would only be half an hour) in my entire year of being in uni. Hope everyone is doing better than I am :’)
