i cant explain that little feeling of joy when you read a book you thought you wouldn't like but it turns out to be muuuuch better than you'd imagined

I spent so much time at home that I had forgotten how comforting it is to go out and read in the park ✨

📖: Atomic Habits

[lifebuoyjournals]

Had this for a while (can you tell from the cover? Lol) and finally got round to reading it. I like it a lot better than "Milk and Honey" and I find the longer poems more enjoyable than the shorter ones.

9 people I want to know better

I was tagged by @slasherstudies (don’t panic if you see a lot of me in your notes in the next few days)

Last song: miss Rhode Island - Elizabeth Gerardi, I’m very excited about this new release and how excited I am for her EP

Last show: the walking dead, currently on season 3 I’m rewatching it all with my partner, if we’re talking last show I finished though it has to be heartstopper which I devoured in one sitting.

Currently watching: Killing eve season 4, I’m watching this one with my mom and I’m also watching first kill on my own

Currently reading: where the crawdads sing by delia owen (owens?), I started it today and so far it hits my sweet spot for historical fiction

Im tagging @cloudy-studying @venustudy @voyagenotes @cafeoiogy @saff-studies @huitingreads and let’s just say the whole knife gang to catch up with all of them (sorry for being away for so long), no pressure do it only if you want

THE NOTETAKING PROCESS

what to do before, during and after class

BEFORE CLASS

How should you be preparing your notes for classes or lectures?

Print out and review any lecture notes or slides if available so you can figure out the structure of the class and the main headings that will be covered

Identify main concepts and terms you expect to learn

Search up any unfamiliar terms, phrases or concepts and get definitions or one sentence explanations

Write questions you hope the class will answer 

Make note of any information that could be helpful from previous classes or readings, for example, key people, dates, formulae, definitions, etc. 

Read any set preparation material from textbooks or articles and notes down your immediate thoughts

DURING CLASS

What should you do while in class to get the best notes?

Take notes in your own words

Use consistent abbreviations and symbols 

Include notes for all aspects of the class (eg. discussions and visuals)

Answer any questions you wrote before class 

Add depth and detail to the notes you bring to class (eg. are there any specific examples that the teacher brings up for example?) 

Note new questions or areas of confusion from the lecture so you can review those concepts later

Capture main ideas and sufficient detail (definitions, examples, images)

Make connections between concepts both from within the class and from previous classes 

AFTER CLASS

Now that you have notes, what should you do with them?

Make time to return to your notes after class, at the very least to read over them 

Add clarification and explanation to any areas where you were confused and look up any questions you had (you could also ask your teacher)

Compare notes with a friend or study partner to check for any missed information

Transform your notes into a new format (e.g. mind map, quiz questions, study guide)

Create short summaries with the most important information and keep for later revision (you could even challenge yourself to a certain word limit)

Use your notes to self-test on key concepts by creating your own practice questions and mark schemes

Hey lovelies!! It’s been a while, but wow, these past few months have been so busy! I also can’t believe it’ll be the new year soon. Here’s some old pics of my never-ending TBR that I haven’t updated in a while! I’ve finished some already and a few are rereads and I’m hoping to get through more of them soon! As for what I’ve been up to, I’ve been reading, watching more YouTube vids of topics I’m interested in, journaling, doing a little bit more planning for college, trying to find a routine I wanna stick with, and spending time with family. I’ve also started Hungarian on Duolingo and it has been super fun!! Tbh, I never thought the day would come when I’d learn it bcs I always thought it was one of the hardest languages, but one day, I just fell in love with it and, my gosh, it’s so beautiful. 

That being said, with the new year coming up, I’ve found myself reflecting a lot and thinking abt how much I’ve grown as a person in these past two years away from academia. I’ve learned so much, not only about the world and life, but also about myself and I’ll forever be grateful for it. I don’t know what this new year will bring, but I know that as long as the sun continues to rise, there’s always hope! By the way, thank you so much to everyone who wished me a happy birthday last month!! I’m so thankful to be a part of such a kind and lovely community!! I hope y’all are staying warm and embracing the cozy holiday vibes wherever you may be!! 🤍✨
