An Overview of Note-Taking Styles
Note-taking is one of the most essential skills a student should master. It allows you to record and review information to be used in the future. But what’s the best way to do so? Here’s an overview of note-taking styles that can help you maximize your learning!
my desk
the universe conspires in my favor. good fortune and positivity have arrived. my dreams are physically unfolding. i deserve prosperity and fulfilment and release any unconscious resistance to this. i have the power to create my reality and this is the reality that i choose; my blessings are abundant and multiplying. i naturally attract the flow of divine riches and welcome the uninterrupted stream of this.

about periods
they’re the worst
make sure you have Comfy Clothes
heat packs/hot water bottles? absolute essentials
if you don’t have them, lying on ur stomach helps LOADS
if you’re feeling nauseous, the smell of peppermint eases the nausea. no one likes throwing up. if you don’t have an aroma diffuser, drip a few drops of peppermint oil into a cup of water, smell it if you feel like puking
chocolate !!! especially dark chocolate
hot drinks, like soup,,,,, or tea !!! hot tea is so nice during periods, and it has health benefits !!
ice cream is nice but not great for periods :( TEA IS GOOD !!!!!!
this list goes out to anyone who doesn’t have periods as well. if u know someone who has periods, know that cramps are bitches. help them out.
sometimes the nausea gets really bad, but ALWAYS REMEMBER TO EAT REFULAR MEALS. when u wanna puke eating is hard, i understand sweetie but even a snack. not eating makes the nausea worse.
if the cramps get real bad, remember to BREATHE. unclench your jaw, loosen your shoulders and neck, breathe in for 4 seconds, out for 5. repeat.
if there’s someone to rub ur back or play with your hair, ask them to !!
seriously, it feels better
periods are like small demon babies that bloat your stomach for five days and make u feel icky, you deserve someone to rub ur back for ten fucking minutes goddammit
keep hydrating. water, tea, whatevs. but hydrate.
pee regularly, change your pad/tampon regularly. REMEMBER THIS. set reminders if you need to.
play some chill music, watch a sitcom
REMEMBER THE HOT WATER BOTTLE. THAT SHIT IS A LIFESAVER
i’m lying on my stomach as i type this now and i feel the sweet warmth blossoming in my sad bloated stomach where the bad gremlin period baby is hiding
THIS GOES OUT TO PEOPLE WHO DONT’T HAVE PERIODS
THIS GOES OUT TO PEOPLE WHO DONT’T HAVE PERIODS
THIS GOES OUT TO PEOPLE WHO DONT’T HAVE PERIODS
THIS GOES OUT TO PEOPLE WHO DONT’T HAVE PERIODS
THIS GOES OUT TO PEOPLE WHO DONT’T HAVE PERIODS
THIS GOES OUT TO PEOPLE WHO DONT’T HAVE PERIODS

oh yea if you sleep a certain way (on your stomach, on your side, etc) make sure to adjust your pad so that you won’t leak
borax is good for cleaning period stains

[ID: screencap of Mae Martin doing stand-up comedy, subtitled in yellow text with “So I wanna preface the whole next section by just reminding everyone that I’m fine.”]
sometimes, things start getting bad or my thoughts get too loud or my chest gets too heavy and i am so sure that i am going to hurt forever, but it gets better every single time. i just never seem to remember.
Because of coronavirus, a lot of recent grads are moving back home. After four years (or more) of freedom, being back home is a big adjustment and it’s easy to revert back to our teenage behaviors. Here are some of the things I’m doing to feel a little more like a grown up while I’m living at home!
i. make your space your own
Just cleaning out your room can make a huge difference. Donate your old clothes and take your old posters from high school down. If you’ve got the time and resources, a fresh coat of paint or new bedding can also do a lot to make your old room feel more adult. You can also rearrange furniture to make a workspace if you’ll be working from home or applying to jobs.
ii. set boundaries
Lovingly set some ground rules about how you can best support each other. This is especially important if you’ll be working or taking classes from home – let them know you’ll be unavailable during certain hours so they don’t barge into a Zoom meeting.
iii. build a routine
Even if you’re not working or in class at the moment, it’s important to be intentional about your time. The biggest thing that contributed to me feeling like a kid when I first moved back was spending my days watching Netflix and napping. Which are totally valid! But add in other daily activities, like taking your dog for a walk and making yourself a nice breakfast.
iv. make time for friends
I normally hate virtual hangouts, but they’ve been so important for my mental health during quarantine. Schedule a weekly Zoom coffee date with your group of friends. FaceTime your old roommates. Meet your high school bestie in the park and have a distanced picnic (don’t forget masks!). Having a support system is so important right now!
v. find new hobbies
This is the perfect time to try out new hobbies. Plus, craft stores have been having great sales since they know everyone is cooped up all summer. I found some really fun craft kits that I never would have tried normally, and now I’m the proud owner of a woven frog wall hanging. A few ideas: painting, tie dying, embroidery, yoga, running, learning a new language, reading, etc.
Having a long-term project to work towards – like a larger art project or trying to master a difficult yoga pose – helps to keep the days from running together.
vi. find ways to feel “normal”
Everyone, no matter their living situation, is feeling really upended right now. Find the little ways to bring back pieces of your “normal” life. Learn how to make your favorite coffee shop drink at home. Cook for yourself. Wake up at your normal time even if you don’t have to. Keep up with your normal exercise and self care routines – they’re more important now than ever!
Could you maybe reblog this post if you think respecting trans peoples' names and identities is a basic right and not a political opinion?
No pressure. Just seeking some validation of my sentiment. Due to some. people
thinking about the last scene of fleabag and how it’s about life still having meaning without an audience.........your best and worst and most boring moments still mean something with no one around to see them. our worth isn’t based on the perceptions of others and learning that is the first step to take toward growth
when fleabag said “I love you” and then the priest said “it’ll pass” I had no choice but to go completely insane in my bedroom
so today is bad i just got off the phone with my sister and she told me that the plumbing is so bad in our NYC house that they’ve been shitting in plastic bags, taking showers with cold water and washing the dishes both in the back yard, spitting toothpaste in the garbage, basically unable to use water and i have no words to how much this breaks my heart like i can’t believe they’re living like that and our abusive father is literally going to let them live like that i cant stop crying

god u ever just wanna… get some matching friendship bracelets with a gal… or maybe some matching rings… maybe some matching marriage certificates…
my skills include eating a bowl of cereal in approximately 4.56 minutes
the most painful social interactions are when you miscalculate someone’s meme literacy and reference something and the person/group doesn’t get it and u have to half-heartedly explain it knowing FULL well it’s 0% funny if people don’t have the full convoluted context of the joke and u feel the flames of hell start to lick at ur feet as they all give u a pity laugh
out here having a weird bad not so bad okayish day wbu
are you a warm bread, sunshine, honey, sunflowers type person? a strawberries, bunny rabbits, fairies, dresses type person? or maybe a green tea, painting, jewelry, gardening type person?
shoutout to all high school dropouts, students who didn’t get accepted into college, students who used to be on honor roll but became overwhelmed, students who study for hours but still fail tests, or student who don’t study at all due to depression/anxiety, you are all stars and I’m wishing y'all the best luck possible to get back on your feet
who you are in high school is not who you will be in college and who you are in college is not who you will be when you are 30.
when you accept that you are malleable and ever-changing, you will be less resistant to new ways of thinking and being and you will grow into the beautiful person you are meant to become.
resist the urge to remain stagnant. there are always things to learn about the world and yourself. let yourself learn them.
LET. ME. TALK. ABOUT. THIS.
“I think it’s suppose to be my romantic interest, but I’m too threatened by that concept so it never takes shape.”
First off, the possibility of Dewey being biromantic is STRONG as the romantic interest itself has a mix of a feminine and masculine voice all mixed into one, and this makes my bisexual heart cry, love that.
Second off, Dewey explicitly stating he’s “threatened” by the concept of a romantic interest highlights the fact he’s legit a 10 year old kid, so love and romance isn’t something that’s entered his brain that often and he hasn’t given it much thought. Which makes complete sense, most young boys don’t look into the concept of love.
Third off, going back to the mixed voice of the romantic interest, this can hint at the idea of Dewey himself not even knowing what he likes yet. Dewey clearly hasn’t given love much thought. He knows that it exists. He makes fun of it (along with Huey and Louie) when it comes to the relationship Scrooge has with Goldie. But when it comes to himself having an interest in another person, he doesn’t know what to think because he’s still growing up and doesn’t quite understand it yet. This hints that Dewey is still figuring that part of himself out, so the concept of a romantic interest “threatens” him because he doesn’t understand the concept. And this is realistic and totally understandable. He’s a kid. Kids don’t know these things. They’re learning.
He has plenty of time to figure out this part of him. He has time to figure out if he has interest in anyone. He has time to figure out if he doesn’t have any interest in anyone. He has time to figure out what kind of attraction he has. He has time.
It’s incredible this idea is being hinted at. I’ve always been a fan of the bisexual and ace Dewey headcanons, and this scene really hints at it hard, and as a bisexual myself, who struggled with this concept as well, I absolutely love it.
I love everything about Dewey’s character and this just adds to my love for him.
