— ap history homework with my red-gray color scheme

[pseudocodead-blog]

for those of you who are also stressed by deadlines and exams, i have a weird way that i’ve been pumping myself up to take on my work, and maybe it’ll work for you too

you are clytemnestra, and your projects are the bastard agamemnon returning home to ruin your life. you’ve been having an affair with happiness this whole time and no way are these assholes gonna stop that. you lie in wait with ax in hand, waiting for just the right moment to tear these motherfuckers to pieces.

you are achilles, and your papers are hector at the walls of troy. they have just taken from you your best friend, your lover. no more. you will kill these papers and eat them raw.

you are diomedes and odysseus, and your exams are dolon. you will fall upon them like a predator in the night, and by a combination of trickery and brute force you will weasel out their secrets and bring them to their end as they beg for mercy. you don’t show mercy.

you got this shit, guys.

Tips for when studying is the last thing you want to do!

1. Write out on sticky notes the name of objects in your room, then go ahead and stick them on everything. Next time you turn on your light, make yourself look (or at least glance) at the word. Next time you open your drawer, look at the note. Any time you turn on your lamp, your laptop charger or your speakers, you’ll always have that vocabulary there and you’ll learn each of them in no time.

2. Play the radio/podcasts or a Korean show for background noise. Most of us don’t like to sit and scroll through Facebook in total silence. I recommend 슈퍼맨이 돌아왔다 (which is available on youtube!) as it is centred around children and any vocabulary you pick up will be helpful. Others include:

• 2 Days 1 Night

• Hello Counselor

• 이웃집 찰스

• Hello Baby

3. Write down phrases on flash cards. Break down the words. Some people have more success reading phrases on flash cards rather than just single vocabulary. Stick these in a place you’ll sit at often, or you could also stick them on items they pertain to just like in tip #1.

4. Just once a day, when you’re out and about or even just at home, search the dictionary for a word. Say you’re out eating, and you don’t know the word for “to order”. Whip out that phone, search it up and try to commit it to memory. One word a day is 365 words a year, and odds are you’ll pick up more than that anyway!

5. Google Play has a selection of multi-language books. Buy a Korean and English children’s book and try to read it (if you’re up to it). The English translation will always be there, so it’s less brain power for you to go and search up everything you don’t know! Plus, you might learn some small phrases in the process.

6. Watch Korean YouTubers. YouTube is fun to watch, so why not watch it in Korean? - 영국남자 (Korean Englishman) is an English man who is great at Korean, he always has English and Korean subs on. By the end of a few episodes you’ll know what “ 남자답다” and “살아 있네!” Means! - Pony’s Makeup is a great channel if you love makeup. You’ll pick up makeup related vocab and phrases, as well learn new techniques and styles. - Maangchi is a Korean lady who teaches you how to cook Korean food. It’s mostly in English but she talks about Korean words sometimes. - 꿀키 is another cooking channel, however there’s no talking, only the blissful sounds of soup boiling and onions frying! She puts small instructions on her videos in both English and Korean. Take notes!

7. Download a widget on your phone that gives you a new word every time you swipe to unlock. Simple, easy and there in your pocket.

8. Fill your social media with Korean. Follow Korean study blogs (though don’t rely on them 100% as most are run by non-fluent speakers), follow Korean daily vocab twitters and Facebook pages. Everything you see will be Korean and you’ll start to pick up on words that you see all the time.

9. Don’t feel discouraged if you haven’t studied for a week. Don’t feel like you’re the worst at Korean, or that you’re so far behind everyone else. Everyone learns differently and at different paces. Me, I’m competitive and need to absorb as much as is humanly possible in a short amount of time. Others stick to a schedule. Some learn stuff here and there. There is no right and wrong way to learn. Do you. Remember, just one word a day equals 365 a year. 2 words a day is even more!

[11.18.17: anatomy study session]

Studying in a new language is… well, harder than I thought, but it’s going good so far! I’m typing most of my notes on the computer and also doing some handwritten summaries, I hope I’ll have time to finish all of them before the exams begin.

Just to stay true to reality, I have to say I do not ever study lying down on blankets, because I find it uncomfortable for writing and typing and I get easily distracted; I just took the stuff I’d been using on my desk and layed it around on the blanket in different ways to take the pictures because the white background made it look much nicer.

little goals for the new year

“one day or day one?” start learning a new language and try to stick with it. better to do less regularly than big study sessions once per week! 

buy yourself an art notebook and fill it during the year with doodles and drawings

meet with old friends and acquaintances who might become friends

keep a journal and regularly write about your day

appreciate the little things in life: the snow lying outside, the scent of flowers, the little smiles on people’s faces

make it a habit to start your assignment as soon as you get it; it saves you from so much stress!!

more cozy study dates in cafes

don’t buy too many books while still having to read all the ones you bought last time, otherwise, you’ll be overwhelmed soon enough

reach out to people online and make more friends, a lot of people on here are extremely nice and welcoming!!

look at the sky more often

don’t dwell on the past too much, what’s done is done, try to grow from it

buy more little things that make you happy, such as candles, bath bombs or stationery

go for a walk at least once a week, especially if you live in the city

accept that it’s okay to ask for help, in school and in personal matters!!

[pseudocodead-blog]

Hey! Here’s some journal entries you know, because I’m kinda done with school. Also I made tea just to take these pictures and then it got cold but I drank it cos I’m South African and I would rather die than waste Rooibos tea. Also that is an original drawing in the book. 📷:me

you can like both humanities and STEM.

you don’t have to “pick a side” and completely discard the other field after choosing your major.

you can like both science and art, and none is better than the other.
