Parents: That music is the reason so many kids your age are so sad all of the time.

Me: That music is the reason half of those "sad kids" are still alive. Do you even listen to the lyrics? Do you really listen to a song and judge it so heavily by how it sounds? So what if there is heavy guitar and a bit of screaming. The kids that listen to the music usually know the words that the band is singing. Music gives kids courage to get through the day some times and you are just going to trash talk a whole genre because you think it's saying bad things. Just because it sounds angry to you doesn't mean it doesn't hold a good message. Don't down talk certain music just because you don't understand it.

Grade Tracker  by  thecollegekid

Hello guys! Since school’s about to start and I’ve reached a follower milestone, I decided to make my first printable (yay!). I created a simple two-column grade tracker, since I couldn’t find any grade tracker online that suits my ~aesthetic~ lol.

5 colors (black, gray, blue, red, and yellow)

A5 (however, there are 2 grade trackers in each file, so use an A4 paper when printing)

Download them here!

Since this is my first printable, it would be great if I get some feedback (even if it’s negative ehe he). Hope you guys like it!!

UPDATE: I made a portrait version (with a few changes) which you can put it in a binder. :-) but I think I kind of screwed up with the margins and stuff *sobs* I’m still trying to find a way to correct it.

Anyway, it’s in the folder if you still want to try it out. I’m so grateful that everyone seems to like the tracker so far! Thank you guys!!

how I revise for exams...

everyone revises for exams differently, and there’s no ‘one size fits all’, but an important part of revision for everyone is breaking your subjects down into manageable chunks. 

This year, I have really taken my methods seriously, so this has become a key way I revise for my exams. 

as you can see, there’s a blank table, but this can become so much more than that. 

Fill in your subject title at the top - you make take 4-5 subjects, so you can have 4-5 of these planners. 

eg. pharmacology 1

Break said subject into the individual topics you studied this semester

eg. cardiovascular system, nervous system, pain, opioids

Break individual topics into individual sections

eg. Cardiovascular system:

hypertension

A –> E of hypertension treatment

major side effects, minor side effects

contraindications

causes of hypertension

primary vs. secondary hypertension

outcomes of untreated hypertension

heart failure

stages

outcomes

identification of heart failure

treatment

drugs - indications, classes

side effects [major and minor]

coagulation

coagulation cascade

virchow’s triad 

coagulation risk factors

coagulation medication

new anticoagulants

warfarin

heparin

streptokinase

clopidogrel 

aspirin

indications for sole aspirin treatment

warfarin treatment planning

Now you’ve thoroughly broken down your subjects, it’s important to identify what needs more revising and what needs less revision. - before highlighting you may want to make an unhighlighted photocopy of your plan, so you can re-highlight it again in a few days - week time.

I tend to use 3 highlighters - one for each face on the chart - highlighting each individual broken down area of each topic - giving me an idea where to focus when I allocate time to said subject.

Once you have identified areas of the individual topics that may need extra attention, identify how well you understand the topic as a whole - here you can use the three faces as an overall measure. 

I tend to do this with a highlighted line in the box of the face for each topic - I also find it useful to put a date on when I make this identification, so when I move from 😟 -> 😕 ->😄 I know how long it took! 

 This has been a method that has worked quite effectively over the last exam period, and we’re all in the same boat - trying to find what works for us. When you annotate the life out of this revision planner and it moves from being a blank table to something full of life and writing and colour, it becomes your greatest tool and one of your best friends! 

happy studying

I’ve been really inspired by some of the studyblrs with amazing handwriting, and @emmastudies did a great post a while back about how to change your handwriting within just a few days. I went ahead and made two practice sheets for myself that I wanted to share with you guys, one in cursive and one in print. The cursive one is actually gray type when you print it so you can see your pen marks more easily over where they’re supposed to be to compare! Let me know if these are helpful to you!

Handwriting Practice Page - cursive

Handwriting Practice Page - print (no numbers)

There are 5 different styles that you can choose from: cornell style, grids, side margin, middle margin and plain! There’s also a date section on the top right corner to help you organize your notes.

Where do I start with this video…

Well, the name of this song is the number to the suicide hotline.

The video focuses on an African American male teenager who is gay as well as suicidal.

I am glad this video exists and is trending right now.

We are tackling lgbtq issues as a whole and specifically in the black community while highlighting black men. We are talking about suicide in the black community and specifically black men. My heart is warm, this is powerful.

We are finally given the space to talk about it. And I hope this video inspires anyone who is struggling to get help. And I hope that young people in the black community find the courage and strength to ask for help.

*Warning, the video may be triggering to some*
