24082018 - One day, you’re 17 and you’re planning for someday. And then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.

Rainy days call for studying in bed (even though I have a perfectly good and clear desk I could work on...)

“…those of the other sex were the most interesting of this company of binders, by reason of the charm which is acquired by woman when she becomes part and parcel of outdoor nature, and is not merely an object set down therein as at ordinary times. a field-man is a personality afield; a field-woman is a portion of the field; she has somehow lost her own margin, imbibed the essence of her surrounding, and assimilated herself with it.” — tess of the d’urbervilles, thomas hardy

happy new year everyone! i know it's a little late but i hope you all had fun, one of my big new years resolutions is to read more and become more educated, i've been very lucky and had access to education and have been encouraged to read and learn but i feel like theres no limit to new things you can learn. this led me to buying this brilliant book of latin phrases which i hope to learn and quote pretentiously! also in this pile of books is "if we were villains" which i finished yesterday and...i am devastated, i cried and cried, i loved it so much just!!!! please read it, anyway, thankyou if you read all my silly ramblings and have a lovely 2020!

Do u have any advice on studying a subject that you really can't understand? (Chemistry in my case)

HOW TO STUDY A DIFFICULT SUBJECT?

STEP ONE, ALWAYS, is MINDSET.

Eliminate “can’t understand” from your vocabulary. Transform it to “will find out”. This way you open your mind to accepting new information, without it hitting the wall inside your mind that would have said, “Can’t. It’s too much. It’s too difficult.”

Appreciate the fact that you get the opportunity to learn the amazing science to know the world at an elemental level.

Remember that no one is born with knowledge, we all learn it, some topics just take a little longer, esp if were aren’t that familiar with the related concepts. Don’t compare the fact that others in your class are learning things at a different speed. Because you’re living your own journey. You’re in a lane of your own.

So allow yourself to spend extra time exploring the topic. There are two parts to learning: understanding and memorising. This helps with the understanding.

Familiarise yourself with the concept from various points of view, not just the way the teacher is teaching it. Because often the way you are taught something can make something seem more difficult, vs a teacher who really takes the time to make it seem easy.

Take the time to learn the basics.

Find other ways to learn the same info. Have multiple sources of info: YOUTUBE (helped me personally), textbooks, google the topic.

Ask a fellow student who knows it better and ask them to talk about some of the points with you.

Relate what you learn and see how they impact and exist in the real world - turn it more practical, beyond theory. Connect it with other disciplines.

Read the textbook - slowly. Give yourself time to understand it esp the early paragraphs

Practice the questions at your own pace allowing yourself to see how it works.
