Broke: sci-fi technology, plasma weapons, lightsabers, lasers, and more will most likely always be fiction

Woke: tech youtubers have literally created plasma laser guns because they wanted to make an irl plasma laser gun from a videogame they like

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

these lists of books to read before you die that are full of classics are all well and good but what if you don’t like classics? and what about the ya ones that are just full of popular series? so this is an alternative list of ya books you should read before you die. thanks to everyone who contributed books; i’ve had to miss some off because i’ve got more than 100, so i’ll probably include them on a second list. (also, i’ve not actually read all these books. it’s a group effort)

Hi everyone! I have most everything on this blog set up now so I thought I would give an introduction :)

Who am I?

My name is Shumaita. I’m a gay WOC, 20 years old and in my senior year of college. I’m an English Major with a Creative Writing minor. I love my cat, reading, photography, cold weather and fine tip pens. An in depth description on myself can be found here. 

Why did I start this blog?

This past year I started college at a new school and it was amazing, but a lot of stress and a lot of work. This was also around the time when I discovered the studyblr community, and it really helped motivate me to manage my academics and stay positive. I’m also really big on stationary and journaling, so everything about studyblr just seemed like the perfect fit for me.

So I decided to make my own! I’m super looking forward to sharing my experiences with you all and making new friends in the community. 

 What Classes I’m Taking This Fall

I’m taking a 400 level course (my first one!) on the works of Zora Neale Hurston

A pre-1800′s lit course

A gender studies/social justice course on the concepts of normalcy

An intro to philosophy course

What to expect on here?

I will be posting photographs and journal entries on my life in relation to what I’m studying, reading, etc. It’s currently summer so I don’t have any classes, but I plan on practicing my French, reading a lot of books, and getting a lot of journaling done. Once school starts, you’ll definitely see posts on my classes and studyings! 

I also made this tumblr to help to me record my goals (both academic and personal) and see my progress, so photos and posts on productivity and positivity will be on here as well. I often get depressed over the summer, so I’m hoping to stay in higher spirits through posting on this blog and interacting with everyone here!

Here are some studyblrs/blogs that inspired me to make my own:

@emmastudies @delthenerd @triflingthing @warmhealer @studylithe @smartstudy @polcry @studyfulltime @post–grad @studylustre @lillastudies @literally-studying @elienstudies @bluelahe @bookmrk

How to write an essay at the last minute:

Do a little research so you know the basic themes or arguments around what you’re writing about. 

Write a plan. Plan what you’ll write in each paragraph- just a topic or a main argument for each paragraph. Make sure you can use each of these ideas to justify your overall essay argument. 

Start writing. Start with a paragraph that interests you or that you already have information on. This way, you can find info for other paragraphs while writing this one. NOTE: your writing does not have to be 100% academic or flow too well at this point! Start by writing a main point, and then:

Do the research to back up points as you write them. It’s a challenge yourself to find information that contradicts or supports the sentence you’ve just written. Correct your sentence if your research suggests otherwise.

Note references as you go along. These don’t have to be detailed; a link to the article you read and a note of the page number in a footnote will do. If you like, you can include in-text citations as you go, too, but keep the footnote so you can write the correct bibliographical entry later, and check your source later in case you mess up. 

Write the conclusion and introduction. Now you know your main points for sure, and you’ve backed them up, summarise it in these paragraphs. 

Go over each paragraph. Sometimes I do this in a seperate paragraph to make it less confusing. If your writing really doesn’t flow, re-write each paragraph so it does. Maybe you’d like to ad your linking sentences and topic sentences in here if you haven’t already. Then insert them back into your document with the right formatting and fonts. Go through each paragraph until you’re done. 

Write your bibliography/reference list. Remember those footnotes you made?  Go through and write a bibliographical entry for each source. 

Finishing touches. Make sure you’ve met the formatting requirements. This might include things like giving your essay a good heading, page numbers, line spacing, font, and text size. 

Submit your work and celebrate! Your essay is complete! You might want to read over it once more if you have time for spelling errors etc before submitting, but hopefully most errors were corrected in step 7. Now you should probably reward yourself, or at least praise yourself mentally. Congrats and good luck! 

Notes: 

If you need to, take a micro-break to dance or rest your eyes or something for like 1-5 minutes between paragraphs. This is especially helpful if you’re pulling an all-nighter. 

It’s also a good idea to supply yourself with snacks and lots of water so you can maybe enjoy the process a little and stay healthy. 

And finally, this is what works for me, but if it doesn’t for you, that’s okay. It might only be good as a last-minute strategy, and thereby not ideal.
