I’m not in the best mental state RN - I’ve been really depressed lately and I just don’t want to get out of bed. my pArents doesn’t really understand and is angry I’m not keeping up with my grades but it’s just so difficult and tiring and I just don’t know what to do

/hugs/ 

Seek professional help. If you’re not ready to take that step yet, that’s ok. Reach out to your networks, outside of your family. This can be online, your friends, your school’s health services. 

And reach out to yourself. It’s a odd thing to say. But sometimes we need some time to take stock of where we are. I find... writing helps. Or doing small things - watching the tv show I’ve been waiting to watch for ages. Reading. 

Re your grades, consider seeking special consideration (or equivalent in your country) for your grades. In some schools/ universities this could mean taking the exam at another time, having extra time in an exam, or taking it in a separate room. See my post here re: dealing with failure 

You have to be upfront to your teachers/ professors/ examiners about your circumstances. Because they’re not getting the full picture of your performance, Think of it as making the playing field even. 

Here’s some resources from other studyblrs who deal with a similar issue:

This post by @academicmind on the pros of getting a diagnosis  

 With your parents... that’s a tough one. It is frustrating that they don’t understand and view success through a single lens. It hurts when we don’t have the support of those closest to us. 

But know that your mental health is part and parcel of your academic “health” per say. And here, prioritising your mental health is not neglecting your grades - in fact it’s actually part of the whole ‘studying’ process.

Your parents may not understand that at first. They may not understand that, ever.

But when you’re better emotionally, mentally, physically, your academics will soon follow. And you can start a dialogue through that process. It may feel like you’re screaming at a brick wall at first, but persist. Don’t let their comments or critique or anger stop you from taking care of yourself.

Annotation

Make sure to read the poem at least 3 times over. Skim once, and read twice. Skim and read once each if you don't think you have enough time. Don't let the length of it to intimidate you. Annotate anything that will help you to answer the question. Answering the question, aside from literary devices on their own, is the most important. Be selective about the quotes and literary devices you find, and which ones you can write about more.

Yep, the main reason people tend to believe in anything is because people don't have a mindset of reading information that is of quality. Sometimes they tend to bully those who don't view the world like them and believe in "alternative facts"... #information #informedcitizen #qualityreading #newspaperreading #mentality #alternativefacts #getoutthere #getuncomfortable #getuncomfortablesquad #research #researchmind #academic #academicmind #notoantisemitism #holocaustdenial #lovethyneighbor #lovetrumpshate #lovenothate

[weasel-studies-blog]

Hi! I’m Weasel and I’m new to studyblr. I’m 25 and I’m a first year PhD student at Oxford working on Medieval English Literature. I’m really struggling to stay focused and motivated so I’m hoping studyblr can help me get my act together! 

Things I like:

video games 

rodents

literature

Latin (especially Ovid)

hanging out at museums

vegan baking

coffee

I’m currently studying:

Anglo-Latin

Old English

Literature

Translation theory

Italian language

I made a studyblr because the positivity in motivation in the tag seems genuinely amazing, and I’m hoping it can help me focus. Doing a humanities PHD in the UK can be a uniquely lonely experience, so it would be nice to meet other people going through the same thesis wrangling struggles and joys as I am!

Studyblrs that inspire me:

@academicmind @emmastudies @h20-phd @literallystudying @noodledesk @post--grad @procaffeinator 

Please like/reblog this if you are a grad student / 22+ studyblr so I can follow you!

[studyign]

academicmind ~ yep ur right beb!! my url is supposed to just be typo of studying :] i still just pronounce it differently in my head i guess lol

[fuckstudy]

Sup home skillet!( new nickname if you're okay with it!) I noticed you had really epic notes and that you said you had a masterpost for them but I can't find it, could you shoot me the link to it? Thanks!

Hi! Thanks :) I actually…. haven’t made that masterpost yet (because I am an epic procrastinator; its been a year, I know orz) 

Usually my final exam notes would look like this: 

above: usually a booklet with a contents page, coloured tabs, each section w a different heading scheme colour. Handwritten comments added after practicing past exams  

As to how I took notes during uni, my method was very similar to that outlined by  @strive-for-da-best​ (see links below), cept I used microsoft word 

Cornell Method using OneNote 

How to use OneNote

How I use OneNote for University by @vanessastudies (bonus!)

+ for those who use MS word - I achieved my layout (e.g. headings, table of contents etc) using styles (see tutorial here by @mechanicalmisfit)

BUT I AIN’T GONNA LEAVE YOU HANGING, so here’s a bunch of other posts I’ve made which tangentially address my note taking method + some advice from other studyblrs: 

How I prepare my exam notes + using sticky tabs (Law focussed though)
