That's me by me 🤷‍♀️ And before y'all go on about how it's not like me, please excuse my 8/10 portrait drawing skills. Also, I hope my last blog was helpful and for my next piece of writing (since I'm relatively more stress free Now) I'm going to be giving movie reviews 🎬🎞 #carveouttimeforart #lifeofanartist #artstudio #dspattern #artinprogress #dsart

#throwback to when the pool and the sea were the same and I felt the singular feeling of how it is to be alone. Even in a magical place, so beautiful and mesmerizing, if there's no people with you, to share, to laugh with, to experience it with, then there's really nothing. . . . . #beach #unlimitedparadise #beachvibes #endlesssummer #findyourbeach #travel #oceanvibes #ocean #paradise #beachy #oceanbreeze #aquaholic #whitesand #beachlover #vitaminsea #saltlife #bestbeaches #sandytoes #saltescape #bestvacations #beachesnresorts #pursuepretty #peace #sunset_sunrise_photogroup #ipreview @preview.app (at Krabi, Thailand)

Why girls are so weird

1. They always go to the bathroom together. 

Me, as a girl myself, have always wondered, why? What do you do with a second person in there? Does one of them wait for the other, does one make the other realize that she has to go use the loo too, do they share secrets, do they prepare for what to say next to the group waiting outside for them, what is it? And also, why have I never done this? What sort of unknown pleasure, that comes out of going to the bathroom together, have I not discovered yet. 

2. Bonding over mutual hate. 

Okay I do that and I have a perfectly good explanation as to why this happens. It's because without it, we wouldn’t have the conversation at all! You need to understand that two girls who don’t know each other will start out talking about general things like school, work, and then suddenly it'll be about how much they hate something or someone and then, they're like best friends. That's just how it works *shrugs*. 

3. What's up with coffee? 

I can assure you, all of us can...continue reading https://www.zoyashah.com/blog-post/27

MY study tips!!!

I think it’s time to share with you what I actually do when I study. Here’s a list (non-exhaustive) of the main tools I use before an exam. Enjoy! 

I read my notes consciously, then I hide them and try to write down everything I remember. Then I’ll take my notes again, and look for what’s missing. Not only it permits me to see what I still don’t know, but it also consolidates what I already know. This one really works if you have to learn pathways, key concepts, etc. Re-write as it comes to your mind, make a mind-map, use arrows, etc.

Once I identified what I don’t know, I’ll just put a mark on my notes, so I know that this specific part needs to be more reviewed.

When I feel overwhelmed by all the stuff I have to review, I’ll just divide it into sections and create a study plan! 99% of the time, this makes me realize that it’s not that terrible and I can get through this! I feel much better then!

The Forest App. I don’t use it systematically but it really helps me keeping distractions away (AKA my phone) and in the end, I can have a little peek view of my study session!

Whenever I’m reading something important that I know I won’t automatically remember, I write it down on a piece of paper. Indeed, I always use a bloc-notes when studying, so I just write down important points. By doing this, I become more active when learning and actually remember better! And sometimes I keep those pieces of paper so I can re-read them just before the exam.

I try to stick to a memorization routine. For example, if it’s the first time I read a specific topic that I have to memorize, I’ll re-read it 3 days after, then again a week after, then 10 days after, etc. This is the best way to memorize: « repetitio est mater studiorum » as my anatomy teacher says.

When reading your notes, always try to think about what could be the possible questions that are “exam askable”.

If you have any specific topics to learn about the same main subject, try to summarize each topic on only one paper sheet. It’s been proven that we tend to memorize more when we see the information only on one paper than many. For example, I’m currently preparing my microbiology exam, so I did a sheet for each virus or bacteria and put them in plastic sleeves and store them in a binder. By doing this, I’ll be able to re-read them all the days before the exam and retain the most important information! 

The textbook is cool, but sometimes I’m in a rush and summaries made from previous years students will do the job. Of course, I make sure there’re no mistakes inside. And it can actually help with difficult subjects. 

I only use flash cards for vocabulary (my dear Spanish!) or pharmacology. They are the PERFECT way to memorize some things by heart!

I multitask intelligently. For example, when I workout I listen to audiobooks or watch medical-related videos on youtube while walking on the treadmill

Shadows plague every color, Love has no place being here, Roses surround a hole in the ground Where a heart lies cold and bare, No heavenly smell from a wild fresh rose can revive a forgotten heart But the roses live on in hope one day One day they shall play their part. @hashimabbas09 you poet, you 🥀 #roses #flowery #visualoflife #stilllifephotography #dearphotographer #photooftheday #dailydoseofcolor #shootandshare #ontheblog #blogsociety #bloggerlife #bloggergirl #creartmood #poetry #bloggersofinstagram #mycreativebiz #thepoet #instapoetry #writingitdown #ipreview @preview.app

Something from my art portfolio from last year. I chose to work on a topic about ribbons and how the colours represent different emotions while the ribbon itself was the object that held the person to that emotion. This specific piece is the representation of a game (that mind you, I hadn't heard of before I made this) and when I actually did play it to know what it is, I found it very frustrating because I could never finish it right, but simultaneously I spent a long time with my brother (the dude in the picture) in figuring it out. Kinda like spending quality time. That's one of the reasons why the ribbon here is red; it symbolises love, and I guess you could say the game makes people bond so yeah #carveouttimeforart #artstudio #calledtobecreative #lifeofanartist #dsart #thenativecreative #art_we_inspire #artfinder #artjournal #creativelife #creatives #instaart #abeautifulmess #doitfortheprocess #ipreview #artblog #sketching
