I love planners, highlighters, giant calendars, nice ball point pens, to do lists, & anything else that gives me the illusion that I’m getting my life together

Some people don’t understand what it is like to feel all alone in a room full of people. They are the lucky ones.

Tutorial: how to make organized notes.

Read the objectives of the lecture. If there aren’t any, flip through the lecture slides and make an outline. This puts into perspective what you need to be learning and what you should get out of this lecture.

Skim the book to get familiar with how the information is divided compared to your outline or objectives. While doing this, you’ll figure out whether or not you need the extra details from the book. Sometimes the lecture is enough and you could keep the textbook just as a reference to things you don’t get.

Write down the first objective and flip to the page in the book that has the information pertaining to that objective. Read the lecture slide then refer to the book for details.

Combine your lecture notes with the textbook information. Do this by rewriting the information in your own words and try to be as concise as possible. 

Keep doing this for every objective. Paste things if it helps.

Make sure that you’re not just copying information. Use visual aids as much as possible. Put the information in a table, flowchart, diagram, etc.. (refer to this post to see how I make my flowcharts).

When you’re done with all your objectives, go through the lecture and your notes to make sure you didn’t miss anything.

General tips on how to keep them organized:

Be systemic. Making objective-oriented notes is one way to do that. 

Use two (or more colors). Color-coding information helps me remember it + it doesn’t look that bad.

Section your objectives according to the topic. Then make sure that when you’re writing out the information, it’s in a sequence that’s understandable.

Disclaimer: this is the way I’ve been making my notes since I started med school. By no means am I claiming it’s perfect or that everybody should follow it.

Hope this helps and as always, happy studying :)

what she says: i'm fine

what she means: i'd rather stab myself in the eyeballs than watch 2 hours of talking yellow tic-tacs yell 'banana.' they were funny and cute in the first despicable me movie but they don't deserve a feature length film. now they're just irritating. dreamworks is milking the despicable me cash cow. the minions do not deserve their own movie

People with anxiety:

Know the worry is irrational

Want to calm down but can’t

Hate the fact that breathing feels like you are trying to breathe rocks instead of air

Feel like they are drowning and suffocating.  Telling them to just take a breath and calm down doesnt help.

Want to stop shaking but can’t control their limbs.

Just plain feel horrible and embarrassed.

Important psa for paranoid/and/or mentally ill youtube users

Um. Maybe signal boost this please?? There’s a new ad on youtube for a movie called “scream” i believe

The audio, right before you are able to press the skip button, repeats over and over, “click skip and die” in a creepy whisper

As someone who cant tell reality from hallucinations, and is triggered by repetition, I threw my phone to the wall and had a break down.

Just a fair warning to all my mentally ill pll out there, try and avoid mobile youtube where you can’t skip ads, and use adblocker on your computer.

if you can’t do those things for whatever reason and you see the ad, remember this post, you are not hallucinating, you will not die for skipping this ad.

Also if you think making ads like that are okay you’re the one who needs to die tbhhhhh

Also please don’t tag this with triggers so people who are triggered by the things in this ad can see this post!

please remember that even though father’s day is sunday, not everyone has a good relationship with their dad. no one is required to forgive a parent for hurting them. no one is required to love a parent just because they are related by blood. forgiveness is not required for peace of mind and if you guilt someone for expressing their hate for their dad on the 21st, you deserve to be punched in the face.
