this classmate is trying to stop me from concentrating

i don’t like it when you speak to me as if i was below you

things i say now that i’m a feminist

you’re in the way of my degree

you’re disrupting my education

you’re making me feel anxious and you have to stop

why are you, the male cis white financially stable and physically + mentally healthy, talking about issues that don’t correspond to you?

yeah, this is my mind map and it works for ME guess what, i don’t work for you

no, i won’t share my lecture notes with you because that was my effort and you’re just a lazy asshole that wants to get away with shit

listen carl, you either support all women or get out of my face

i won’t debate with you until i believe that you have educated yourself on the subject

if you want to date me you have to be a feminist or else get out and stop wasting my time

go educate yourself you 19th century abusive landlord

funny how you only care about your money and not my health, director.

if I ever say anything that annoys your fragile male egos then go whine somewhere else, i’m gonna be a president and none of you can stop me

am i too noisy for you? too bad, i live up to my standards not yours

pay me a hundred dollars and maybe i’ll consider giving a fuck about it

teacher, you don’t have to attempt to justify yourself, just say you’re too lazy to find out how to help me and we can move on

surely, your rape jokes are so funny, surely, they aren’t contributing to rape culture

i want to develop my skills and your stereotypes are in the way

if you test me i’ll destroy you

“Miss, excuse me, my classmate is being a misogynistic person and is trying to distract me from my work, could you please show me you care about my learning or else i will speak to the director or the authorities or whoever i have to speak to in order to get my education”

i’m captain marvel and you’re just whiny wannabes

you can’t even understand my insults, that’s how low you are

hey, don’t listen to them, boys can be mean, but they don’t know what they’re talking about. you’re a princess, but you’re also a warrior and superhero, and i’m with you

educate yourself or i will ignore your opinion

your arguments are as empty as your brain

listen here you selfish baby, go play football, i’m trying to learn

i’d rather have three cats than marry a man like you

you know, my bestie says that if all of us girls get together, we can do anything. i think she’s right, and i’d like to have you on our team

stop prioritizing my teacher’s commodities over my mental health

do you want me to get the authorities on this case?

i’ve already spoken to my parents and we have all agreed that your school does nothing to help me

ethos logos pathos, except you don’t even know what that means

you’re uninformed, get out

if any of you ever dares to try and diminish a girl for the way she dresses or for her hobbies, i’ll kick your asses all the way to the mars.

my emotional labor isn’t free, you either pay me 200 dollars an hour or get out of my way

hey, i know that we live in a world where boys dominate the area of computing, but i know a few things that can help you shut their nasty mouths

miss, i feel like my classmate is interrupting my learning process

i’m going to wear earphones because music represents me better than you

excuse you, but that’s historically inaccurate

are you pretending to imply that i’m crazy?

i know more about this than you, get out

get out, i’m working

miss, jared is distracting me, could you please show him the consequences of his actions?

look, some of us have to work hard to get where we are, get your privileged ass out of my way

mr teacher, your classes have been a waste of time, patience and effort.

that’s no justification for what you did

explain all you want, but you’re still gonna face consequences

*calmly and almost in a yoga relaxation state* no, darling, i won’t share my hours of work with you

you’re using that argument incorrectly

don’t make fun of her, she has way better hygiene than you

i’m a queen and you can’t change that

you made me feel insecure, you ridiculed me, you ignored me. i’m not shutting up until you face the consequences

i don’t need someone to ask me about my opinion, i stand for myself

excuse you, i wasn’t finished

what’s the point of your insults, i don’t care

stop it with the contamination

shut up greg, if i was related to you i’d be ashamed

my attention isn’t something you demand. it’s something you politely ask for and then i’ll consider if you’re worth my time

i know i’m better at teaching than you, don’t get offended by me being successful

stop overreacting, i only said no

you’re only using “devil’s advocate” as an excuse to get away with your discriminatory behaviour

i’ll shut up once he stops bothering me

send him out of the class if you respect my education

Studyblr Gets Real. Life Gets Real.

Alright so I have not posted any original content in a couple weeks maybe? I’m not sure, I haven’t been keeping track but for sure I know I’ve been slacking so here is somewhat of a life update or like idk rant? Spoken word? Whatever.

Studyblr gets real. Let me tell you something: it is now 9:48 am that I am typing this and 2 hours ago, I had my second panic attack in 3 days. That is a new record for me. I have very bad anxiety and have been struggling with it since 7th grade. I am in 11th grade now and this year has been the worst for me in terms of dealing.

I stopped sleeping completely over the past couple of weeks. When I say completely I mean like 0 hours if I wouldn’t literally pass out at like 5 pm from exhaustion. What would happen would be I would finish my homework and sit in my bed when my brain just starts going haywire. If you have anxiety you know what I’m talking about, it’s literally like thinking about everything but nothing at once and then all of a sudden your heart starts racing and now you’re sweating so you sit up from your bed and just sit there. That was me for 2 weeks. I would sit up from 11pm until 7 am the next day and get ready for school. I would mainly worry about school and my future and expectations and stuff like that. Then during the school day around 1-2pm I would have splitting migraines. By splitting I mean the pain is so sharp sometimes my vision would get blurry. But still I would push through the day and do my homework until my eyes literally close themselves at around 5pm. I would skip dinner and sleep until 2-3 am the next morning. Sometimes I wouldn’t even finish the homework I needed to and then I would stay up to make it up- do you see the vicious cycle?

I lost 5lbs in 3 weeks. I stopped having an appetite, stopped finding the motivation to do anything but study. On top of that, I broke up with my mega language nerd boyfriend. It was hard, and sad and messy for me. How was I supposed to keep up being a girlfriend to someone else when I was destroying myself? It wasn’t just that though, there were other reasons why I ended it but that was a big factor.

I suck at math- I always have, I maybe always will. I am good at trig and geometry and most complex math ideas from Algebra 1 and 2 but I suck at the basics. Like middle school math, like inequalities and stuff. It sounds ridiculous because math builds on the basics but I just figured my way around those things. I have to take the SAT in about 5 months but my “dip my toes in the water” one is in 3 weeks. The SAT math section tests the basics mostly and it’s been killing my scores. I almost got a perfect score on the English portion but the math killed me so badly. I have been struggling to relearn the basics and I cannot afford a tutor right now… that’s why I had another panic attack.

My GPA right now is a 3.7 and I am so proud of myself. I have worked beyond belief to get it up this high and maintain it like this. But I cannot say I feel good as a person. Every day I barely make it through the school day, eating is impossible to get me to do unless I force myself, sleeping is only better because I have stronger medication now that I can’t fight, sometimes I think about missing an econ class because I sit right behind him and it kills me (thankfully I haven’t because I love econ so much), I find myself sacrificing everything in order to maintain my scores.

I have been a victim of the aesthetic. I spend hours taking photos and making posts for this account. I have been restraining myself from driving over to Muji and buying hundreds of dollars of stationary using my hard-earned money. I have thrown away mind-maps because they haven’t been pretty enough for me to post. But somehow I still manage like this. It’s time for me to wake up and for you to too. Studying is good, it goes towards your future but please don’t think that the aesthetic is real a lot of the times. Sure we clean our rooms, and nice notes are good! I still have nice notes because I can refer to them in 5 months when I take my finals but that’s not all what studying is, we like to eat our avocado toast and run every day sure, but that’s only the beautiful part of being a student, we are ashamed to show our dark days: the days we don’t sleep, that C you got on a Chemistry quiz even though you studied for a solid week, that 3rd Advil you’ve taken today alone, the 3rd meal you’ve skipped in a row to do “just one more assignment”, your parents yelling at you because you’re never going to be good enough for anyone: A average or C average, skipping a class because you literally don’t have any strength to get up from bed. I have seen my friends cry when they wake up because it’s just too much: life and school. Studying with a mental illness is one of the hardest things to do like ever. And it’s not even just mental illness being a student is like the hardest thing ever and it seems like most adults forget what it’s like being a student when they scream at you for getting a B.

This is my pledge to start exposing more real sides to the Studyblr. I’m going to stop re-writing my notes, I’m going to make more posts that people want in terms of advice for anything, I’m going to start taking photos of my actual failures. We are all human, we all have bad days let’s just help each other out a little okay? We shouldn’t build walls of expectations for people to uphold. The Studyblr community has helped me with so many resources to improve myself and my grades and let me tell you not every day is bad, not every moment is bad, but let’s continue to help each other out for when it is.

Thank you so much to @universi-tea and @piratestudy for opening my eyes recently

Love,

Nonso

Paper 2 tips

Crit A: describe 1 social/ethical concern which can arise from the IT system. descibe 1 stakeholder’s relationship to the IT system.

Crit B: use IT words and go “beyond the article” always.

Crit C: consider positive and negative impacts. Don’t go into detail describing the solution as this is done in Criterion D. Plan before writing.

Crit D: Identify 1 problem > 1 solution > Evaluate solution (+ve and -ve)

ITGS blog and subsequent opening of the The Fried Rice Computer Emporium

Difference that distinguishes it from IT: 

- ITGS covers the computer systems (hardware, and software) that IT does as well as the stakeholders (any person affected or interested in the subject matter) affected by the IT and its development. 

What is a Global Society: 

- How is society being built in the modern age with technology and the increased connectiveness that follows with its increased adoption.

Is ICT bringing the world closer together or causing people to become more isolated:

- It is bringing the world closer together through the extremely fast spreading of information and its easy accessibility from almost anywhere on the planet.

- Although there is the caveat of almost, governments where the population at an aggregate doesn’t have access to IT or the government has blocked information from escaping the country’s borders (or a combination of both). It can lead to this population being completely cut off from the rest of the world and not knowing anything that the government doesn’t tell them.

Does increased automation of manual labor lead to unemployment:

- Yes, a majority of low skill jobs could, within the next 5 years, easily be replaced. Such as Long road trucking (across the USA potentially) this process could easily be automated by the increased adoption and reliability of the technology they could replace humans in this field due to them not requiring any form of rest or have the added risk of crashing due to them being tired. 

What is cyber mobbing:

- When cyber bullying escalates to involve a group of people sharing the same malicious mindset in terms of attacking this one individual.

Who are digital citizens:

- People who use IT to engage in activities involving society at large, politics, or government. 

HOMEWORK DONE

The Student Hierarchy of Needs

Physiological Needs

food: EAT. PLEASE EAT. it’s important to have a full belly when you’re gonna tackle your studies. it gives you the energy you need. and no, i’m not talking about those awful junk food snacks that we’ve all had sometime. get some decent snacks. fresh fruit, nuts, yogurt, whatever works for you. but eat. please eat.

drink: IT’S WATER OR NOTHING BABEY YOU GOTTA STAY HYDRATED AND IF YOU DON’T I’LL FORCE YOU TO DRINK WATER FOR YOUR GOOD OKAY??? but please keep a water bottle with you at all times. and drink that mf water. if you’re gonna take a water bottle then you gotta drink it. i’m sorry i don’t make the rules. make those 300ml count. bonus points if you get a reusable bottle. extra bonus points if the design makes you happy. hyper mega bonus points if you customize your drink so that you like it more: add slices of fruit, go for some juice, try a smoothie. just be sure to secure the cap when you close it. spills are messy :/

warmth/temperature: got air conditioning in your classroom? bring a jacket. got no windows at all? bring a fan, make a paper fan, use some cardboard, idc, get something you can air yourself with. hot as hell? frequent bathroom breaks to splash water on your face, maybe grab a few paper towels, wet them, lock yourself in a cubicle, take your shirt off and get that sweat out of the way. move your shirt to get mini air currents and dry off. put your shirt on and enjoy being refreshed. get back to class and smash those studies.

comfort: you can’t work if you ain’t comfortable. nothing too tight that cuts off your circulation, nothing that itches, nothing that distracts your attention from your work. eg. if i wear a sweatshirt with those tiny cottonballs on it i’ll pick each one out and lose focus for 45 minutes, so nope.

breathe: ik ik, “but ari why the fuck is this here that’s obvious”, i know my dear fella, i know. but I used to think my breathing was fine, until I realized that my breaths were shallow as fuck. slow + deep breaths work fantastic. pair them with a powerful thought or phrase and boom you get inspiration.
