hot tip: set specific goals for your new year’s resolutions! you don’t have to take on enormous, ambiguous resolutions. you can also set short-term goals: what you’ll accomplish before july, in the month of january, this week! reaching your overarching goals takes time and it’s a good idea to map out the checkpoints along the way. good luck in 2018!

Here’s part 2 of my Studyblr University Orientation Week! The first part of this post may be coming a bit late for some of you who have already started school, but the second half should still help and I know there’s a bunch of you who haven’t moved in yet. 

Move In Day 

Accept help from the volunteers that are there. They’ll be careful with your stuff, I promise. 

It’s okay if you get lost and need to ask for directions. 

Your roommate isn’t the only student you need to worry about. Greet your floormates ASAP. These are the people that you’ll be sharing a bathroom and shower with for the next year, and it’s important that you all get along. A good first impression can go a long way. 

Your RA will have some sort of icebreaker game prepared to help everyone relax and get to know each other. This is usually optional, but I highly recommend that you go. It’s a good way to meet the rest of your dorm and begin feeling a little more at home. 

Take your time unpacking. You don’t need to get it all done in one night: it’s okay if it takes you most of orientation. 

Start with your bedding. Having a cozy bed to climb into the first night will make all the difference. 

There’s no shame in crying when your parents leave. Everyone else did it too. 

Have some sort of icebreaker prepared to get all of your floormates talking. The floor I lived on had six girls on it (we lived in a tower so it was a small floor) and one girl brought non-alcoholic champagne for us to drink the first night. It’s still one of the best memories I have with them. 

A lot of dorm room doors have an automatic lock. Find out if yours does. The first person I met in uni was the girl in front of me in line while I was waiting to get my key. She didn’t know this and had locked herself out of her room in the first five minutes. 

Bring your student id with you everywhere. This is typically how you’re going to get in and out of the dorms. 

The first night will be the hardest. It only gets easier after this. 

Dorm Life 

I’m repeating a point here, but it really is important: make friends with your floor! These are the people you’ll be around for the next year and they’ll also be the people who will see you at your weakest (kind of a side effect of being right there when you break down over schoolwork). It’s important that you can at least stand each other. 

Don’t leave things in the bathroom. You share that space and it’s really rude if half the counter space is taken up by one person’s stuff. 

If you’re going to throw a party, keep it down but also let the rest of your floor know. There’s nothing worse than being woken up in the middle of the night by an unexpected party. It also allows your floormates to make alternate sleeping plans if they need to (such as crashing at a friend’s dorm). 

Respect quiet hours. People are trying to sleep. 

Try to keep your noise to a minimum. If you want to listen to music, either use headphones or keep your door closed. Same thing with watching tv. Close the door if you’re making a phone call, especially if you’re arguing with your parents. 

If your hallway’s echoey, don’t stand out there and talk. If you do, everyone will hate you. 

People are here to study. Respect that. 

Never go into another person’s room without their permission. And if they tell you to leave, leave. 

Don’t keep dirty dishes in your room. You’ll get bugs and it’ll smell. 

Your dorm may come with a mini fridge or you may choose to rent/buy one. Keep an eye on your expiration dates and buy smaller sizes of products than your family did. It’ll amaze you how little you go through in a week when it’s just you. 

Set a timer for your laundry. Nobody likes a machine hogger. It’s also polite to only use one machine at a time, especially if it’s busy. 

The weekend is the busiest time for laundry. Do yours Tuesday night. 

Take out your garbage regularly. Same deal with your recycling. 

If you’re going to get drunk, vomit in the toilet. Not in the sink. And clean up your own vomit. (I’ll be making a longer post about drinking in uni later). 

Don’t. Use. A. Microwave. Or. Toaster. Or. Kettle. In. Your. Room. You will set off the fire alarm and the entire building will hate you when they’re standing outside in their pyjamas at 5AM the morning before a big test. In the middle of winter. 

Take warnings seriously. I knew a guy in first year who was kicked out of rez for partying too much because he threw a party when he was on probation and thought that they wouldn’t actually kick him out. This includes requests from your floormates to keep it down. They will call the RAs on you if you keep it up. 

Be nice to the janitors and meal hall staff.

New Studyblr !

Hello, love ! My name is Hailey Grace but Ley is just fine. I’m on the western side of the United States and in year 11. I honestly love learning, but my favorite thing to study is probably anatomy, however i’m proud of my essay writing ability haha. After high school, I’m planning on getting my bachelor’s in biology and going to graduate school for genetic counselling. It’s truly a pleasure to meet you guys !

Heyo, heyo, I'm Mod Miha! I'm a Canadian high schooler, but I've taken classes in another country once before(long time ago, tho). I'm quite interested in art and psychology, and I plan on studying therapy and psychology once I graduate! Nice to meet you~

Edmond De Schampheleer - Cityscape on a river - 1871

Edmond De Schampheleer (Brussels, 21 July 1824 - Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, 12 March 1899) was a Belgian realism landscape painter and engraver. After his training at Eugène De Block (1812-93) in Antwerp, De Schampheleer immediately profiled himself as a landscape painter. He also threw himself up as a convinced realist in this genre: the objective representation of the landscape, seen from a pictorial point of view. His realism continues the line that begins with Théodore Fourmois (1814-72); we also find the principles of French landscape painters from the so-called Barbizon School. All this implied intensive campaigns of painting in the open air, in which the square airstudies served as basic material for larger-scale oil paintings that arose in the studio.

Like most landscape painters, De Schampheleer undertook several journeys that gave him a whole range of motifs: Bavaria (Munich), the Netherlands, France, etc. In Barbizon he had contacts with the paysagists working there. According to some titles of works, he was also in Oosterbeek in Gelderland; this picturesque region was almost the same as the Dutch equivalent for Barbizon: many landscape painters also came here and met. Here, too, his vision developed based on seventeenth-century Dutch landscape painting. He also liked to paint in the untouched heathlands in the Genk area, as did Théodore Baron, Théodore Fourmois, Alphonse Asselbergs, Edmond Tschaggeny and Franz Courtens. They are therefore collectively grouped together under the name Genk School.

As far as his relations with other artists are concerned, we mention his close friendship with the landscape and animal painter Edmond De Pratere and the fact that he was the teacher of the painters Cl. Van den Broeck and Euphrosine Beernaert. The work of L. Pulinckx is stylistically closely related to that of De Schampheleer.

Together with Charles De Groux, Duwée, Félicien Rops, Camille Van Camp and Otto Von Thoren, he illustrated Contes Brabançons by Charles De Coster (wood engravings by William Brown), 1861. He was also one of the illustrators of the book Les Légendes Flamandes by Charles De Coster. 

In 1869 he became a knight in the Leopold Order.

hi guys! sorry for not posting for so long, i’ve just been so busy trying to catch up with chem! i’ve been studying for chem for at least the last couple hours and honestly, if i put this much effort into studying in high school i would probably be an amazing school right now (not that i’m not, i love my school!). revelation of the day: shostakovich string quartets are AMAZING to study to. also, this room smells like fries.

Hello! I am currently having struggles with my AP physics class because my teacher doesn’t instruct clearly I was wondering if you could help me

hello hello!! I actually didn’t take physics at all in high school so I personally probably won’t be much help :’)) BUT I did find some resources that might be able to help you:

*again since I haven’t taken physics at all, I’m not sure how reliable and/or helpful these links might be*

forgot to mention the youtube channels!

crashcourse is always fun, though I’m not sure if it’s too simple?

Dan Fullerton also have a playlist for AP physics

I hope you find what you’re looking for ; u ; so sorry I couldn’t actually do all that much… but yeah, if any of my followers are taking AP physics or know other studyblrs taking it or have resources, please do add to this and help this anon out! I wish you the best of luck :)
