just wanted to update whoever is interested: my average grade for the first semester was 85% (still in shock lol what the hell). in addition, a professor contacted me to ask whether i was interested in writing a phd after my graduation. i have been doubting my academic performance and whether i can handle uni for years, so this all means so so much!

is there a valid reason why i didn't post for three months? honestly, i don't know.

at first, i was pretty busy with exams and stuff and didn't have time to post but then i just lost all motivation and inspiration. i didn't like any photo i was taking so eventually i gave up. a creative rut i guess.

but now i'm coming back with some new energy and a little collection of pretty nature and what i've been up to recently (of course, calculus) 🌿📖

i wish you all a happy new month!!!

+ make it look pretty note: this is only optional; different people have various ways of retaining information - if you feel like adding colour distracts you, don’t do it! also, if you’re rushing to finish notes at the last minute the night before the exam pls don’t do it omg only do it when/if you have time.

+ more tips from me

colour your notes! highlighting and adding colour to notes helps you retain information and remember things faster. use different colours throughout your notes to have more specific and easy-to-understand notes. [eg. use lighter colours like light blue for points you want to highlight and darker colours like purple for the main body] again, as mentioned earlier, if colourful notes aren’t your thing don’t do it! 

while revising, read notes aloud. it helps you remember things easily, because it sounds like someone is explaining it to you. even better if you do it in a foreign accent tbh, that always works for me (i read notes aloud in an american accent sometimes). this method is most effective if you’re an auditory learner.

most importantly, find what works for you. there are so many note-taking methods out there; find a system that you feel is most effective/helpful based on the type of learner you are. if you feel like nothing you read online is helpful, create your own method of note-taking instead.

Thank you for all the love you've been giving me! I finished my French final and now it's time to study for Chem. I love chemistry more than I used to now that I've taken time to do notes. I found a cute little coffee shop near my house and I think I might go more often.
