Just completed and submitted the final version of my Extended Essay !!! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
So I compiled lists of words that I found super super useful in making it easier for me to finish any essay !! Here is a masterpost of some sort with transition words + key vocabs grouped together for easy access as well as an IB IOC ‘cheat sheet’ I used for my english LAL orals last year (though most commentaries follow a similar structure so its generalisable) ~

Study Pack #2
by Eintsein
It’s a new year, and whether you’re looking to organize your current study process, or try out something more productive, this study pack can help you out. These are some of the methods I use to help myself study more effectively, and I’ve decided to make some printables out of them so that you can use them too!
In this study pack:
Day Tracker: to schedule your day or keep track of how you use your time.
Past Paper Tracker: to track all the past papers you’re practicing.
Past Paper Summary: to summarize the trends in your past papers so you can plan your studying accordingly.
Topic Tracker: to track the topics that appear in the past papers.
Syllabus Tracker: to help you know where you currently are in your syllabus: what’s been done and what’s left to do, along with how well you know the material
Click here to download! (link to study drive)
Hope these help, and don’t forget to tag me with #eintsein when you use them - I’d love to see them in action! And if you have any questions, drop me an ask/message. Have an awesome day :)
P.S. Examples of how to use some of these printables are in the gifs above, but of course, you’re free to use them in whatever method works best for you. For example, for the topic tracker, instead of distinguishing between the number of marks for the question, you could keep track of how many marks you’ve received for that topic (i.e. 100% means you get full marks for every single question of that topic).
other people succeeding and achieving things (school, jobs, relationships, etc.) before you do, does not make you a failure. it doesn’t make you bad at these things. it just means some things are going to take a little more time for you than it will for other people. you have time. there are no rules or deadlines by which you have to achieve and experience things. there’s too much pressure to have all these things done by your early to mid twenties but you have your whole life to figure yourself out and do what you want. you are doing your best and that’s what matters. i’m proud of you and you are going to be okay.

Tips for studying with ADD
I have been dealing with ADD since forever. Through all those years in school I’ve learnt a few things that help me study and keep my grades good.
🌼 Have 2 things to focus on
This might sound a bit odd but you have to distract yourself a little bit. Sitting down to a book, in a complete silence won’t help at all. You’ll find something else no matter how empty the room may be. Give yourself two things to focus on instead. The first thing is studying and the second should be something that doesn’t cost you too much thinking. Here are a few ideas for your second focus:
Have something simple in your hand to roll it around (e.g. a stone)
Music with no lyrics
A piece of paper to fold
A pencil or pen to play with
A ball to throw around
A calm pet (the calm part is important, no cat chasing!)
🌼 Try to study alone
Other poeple will not only distract you but you will aslso distract them too.
🌼 Turn off your phone
🌼 Switch between the subjects often
Study one thing for some time, then other thing and then come back to the first thing. Change things up as often as your memory can take it to keep your brain intrigued.
🌼 Change study spaces
🌼 Give yourself time to stare into space blankly
🌼 Ask someone to snap you back
Ask someone to check on you and snap you back to reality in case you lose attention
🌼 Learn in as many forms as you can
Try things out (if it’s safe to do so), hear them, look at pictures.
🌼 Give yourself enough time
Don’t wait until the last minute. Give yourself as much time as you can.
I hope I helped and have a nice day!
2019 Goals/Resolutions
I carefully thought through my goals for the upcoming year. None of these is actually something that could be done in a week. They’ll take time and energy and I can’t wait! At the bottom you can read about how I want you to join me on my path to dream life!
I divided my goals into five cathegories: Mind (includes school and work goals), soul, body, social and financial.
Mind:
Read at least one book every month
Learn to drive
Study ahead for graduation
Learn to cook
Soul:
Create something every week (drawing/writing)
Learn more about tarot and other spiritual things
Get more plants and learn how to take care of them properly
Learn how to use make-up and create my own fashion style
Get more habits into my life (meditation, streatching etc.)
Work on my confidence
Reduce waste i leave behind
Body:
Start doing yoga
Go for a walk/go jogging twice a week
Get physically strong (start strenght training)
Get my goal weight (Let me just say that my goal weight is the most healthy weight I can be at. it’s the weight recommended by my doctor and the weight I feel best with)
Social:
Spend time with family at least once a week
Spend more time with my little brother
Find at least one new friend
Hang out with people more
Financial:
Save up to 20 000 Kč (around 880 dollars)
Now the fun part! I want you to join me! Every week I’ll work on something out of this list. It can be incorporating a habit into my life or just trying out something new. This is how I want it to work:
Before the week starts I’ll post about what we’re doing and the rules. if you want to join you can reblog or just message me.
Week goes by and we’ll work on it by ourselves. I might post a little notes about it but nothing too big.
At the end I share results. If you joined you can reblog with your own results or again just message me how it went! I’d love to do it with you all!
I wish you all love and happiness in 2019. Please let me know if you’ll want to join!
Reblog if you actually give a shit about anyone who's suicidal or depressed.

Survival tips for exam week
TO SURVIVE EXAMS LIKE A BOSS
1. Get your electronics out of the way. I’m a huge advocator of technology in the classroom. But no so when you’re in your bedroom. I remember I had a chemistry exam the next day and I slept at midnight reading a novel. Even though I knew the material and the answers, I couldn’t finish the test on time because I was slower than usual and couldn’t concentrate. SLEEP IS IMPORTANT. So get your phone, tablet, laptop all out and just sleep. Learn from my mistakes people.
2. Take a day off and meal prep the shit out of your week. When I’m in exam week, I forget to eat. My bodily needs go on vacation to a dark corner of my mind and I simply forget about them until I’m at the verge of collapse from hunger and dehydration. What I did last year to avoid this is to have healthy food at hand all times by meal prepping inexpensive, light and nutritious snacks that can survive in the fridge.
3. Have your professor’s email or phone number. We are not perfect so from time to time, we are bound to cram everything in a day. In these days, it’s very beneficial to have your professor’s contact info to ask relevant questions. Be bold and ask right away if they have past tests so you can train with them in those lasts couple of hours. When cramming, it’s best to practice instead of reading. Your professor can make a huge difference in this game.
4. Make an efficient summary. If your professor isn’t willing to help (I see you Law Prof), then I recommend you to take notes using the chapter outline. You know that one page where they outline the chapters paragraph and give it numbers? It’s been extremely useful to me. Why? Because the paragraphs are usually named after the main ideas of the subject. Let me give you an example. One of my introductory classes was Marketing. The first chapter is named Wat is Marketing? The first paragraph is The definition of marketing, the second The marketing concept and the last one The role of marketing in a corporation. So knowing the answer to these 3 paragraphs should give you a strong idea of what marketing really is. A 20-page chapter was easily summarized in only 3 paragraphs. This saves me lots of time and I’m able to identify the most important info right away.
5. Organise a study session with your classmates. I have saved and have been saved by these. Just gather around 4-6 people from your class. Then make sure each one of you has mastered a part of the study material. Then teach what you’ve learned from the others. At the same time, you get to learn too without doing a lot of research.
6. Search it up. If you understand something, the esier it is for you to remember. So if you don’t understand the explanation the professor gave you, ditch him and go look on the internet for a video or article that explains it easier (or slower) for you.
7. Don’t cram it at the last minute. Yes, don’t do it. It’s likely not going to stay in your mind and it will only give you more stress. I would rec to stop learning all together some 5 hours before the exam and take a nap instead so you feel more fresh and relaxed.
8. Once you get your test, write all formulas, mnemonics and models. I like to do this before even reading the first question. This way I get all the tools I need out of my mind right away. Therefore I’ll have more space in my mind to think about the actual questions instead of thinking “what was the formula for that again?” and enter in panic.

How to Brace Yourself for a New School Year
August is fast approaching once again! Though I’m all for “starting the year/ school year right”, I think it’s pretty much unavoidable for us to get off track. A lot. Because of that, I put together this infographic to help minimize those stressful moments in your brand new school years.
First of all, get your shit together. And I mean both physically and emotionally.
it’s a new start my friend!! detox your mind of all those negative thoughts (and people) and embrace the opportunity to start over.
gather all the supplies you need. if you’re moving into a dormitory, make sure it’s equipped with everything you need to feel at home.

do’s and don’ts
don’t go overboard with this step, but go get yourself some new stationery. choose wisely, and ensure that you’ll actually use it and it’s not just for purposes of aesthetic. we all want nice instagram feeds, but don’t let that be a reason for you to buy too much pretty stationery.
why not think of a note taking system before classes begin?
the cornell system
mind mapping
flashcards
not all may find the idea of going back to school exciting, but you gotta have the motivation to keep that positive mindset in your head throughout the year! go you.
Organize your study space. You may have to stay in it much longer than usual now.
lighting is important. it’s oversaid, but never untrue. opt for natural lighting when you can, but if you can’t or you’re a night owl, get a good study lamp to brighten up those long hours of work.
I did say you’re probably gonna be staying here for some long bouts of time, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. make your desk one of your favorite places to be in. if you want to, make it really pretty. hang up some motivational posters or quotes - perhaps you even want a color scheme with that.
desk inspiration
quote posters to get you going
quotes from writers
have an accessible stash of stationery on your desk at all times so that you don’t have to go looking for a pen and a sticky note when you need to write something down. keep pens, pencils and highlighters in a jar near you.
keep something green on your desk, like a succulent. plants are adorable and the sight of them can boost your productivity.
have a planner or a bullet journal, and make space for that too.
a bujo masterpost
if working with music helps you, have headphones with you as well. always have a study playlist on hand. go for instrumentals or wordless tracks.
study playlist masterpost
make it a habit to keep your space in check every night before you go to bed. it really could make a big difference in how much work you’re gonna be able to do. don’t forget to stay clear of distractions!
Create a stress management system.
okay. this is what i’m telling you to brace yourself for. there are gonna be those days or those moments when you’re gonna feel really depressed or panicked. you’re gonna be okay. feel free to message me or any other studyblr - we’re here to listen =)
take some time out to practice self care and put off work, even for a bit. school is not the most important thing in the world, keeping yourself alive and healthy is. you can sleep, be kind to yourself.
self-care reminders
soothe yourself
go get some food too. you can prep some of your own if you’d prefer.

never ever ever underestimate the power of exercise. the feeling of finishing a workout is so so so satisfying and I can guarantee you will feel better in no time.

take out your mat and do some yoga. stretch out all those muscles you held in place for so long sitting at your desk.
I find it important to always have a mini-collection of unread books. if you don’t have any, one of my favorite places to be in is a bookstore or library - and I just read whatever I find. the results can be life changing.
take time to hone your skills in your hobbies. if you can, do it everyday - do that one thing that makes you really happy daily. maybe you like singing. or playing the guitar. or painting. whatever it is, go do it.
write it down! I keep an electronic journal and it really helps to just spill your thoughts out on a notebook or your phone.
honey, please talk to someone if you need to. it won’t hurt.
Get a headstart on academics.
especially on subjects that are easier with advanced reading. if you already know what books you’re going to be tackling for english or literature, go read them.
sparknotes
shmoop
try asking upper years who used to take your classes if they still have their course outlines, or any material they were given before. this can save lives.
gonna be taking a language class? why not start learning it already?
duolingo
memrise
find textbooks and start using them!!
don’t have any idea of what you’re going to study yet? that doesn’t mean you should stop learning something new. you can listen to a ted talk or join an online course.
ted
crash course
coursera
Finally, set SMART goals for the school year. And have a concrete plan for how you’ll reach them.
what average are you aiming for? what organizations do you want to join? make your goals realistic and specific.
motivation is very important, but honestly, you can’t count on it to be with you every single day, every single moment of your life while you’re working for your goals. what will push you forward then? discipline.
building discipline
surround yourself with a community people who support you. like I said in the first step, detox all those negative people from your life. find ways to work with your friends and help each other in attaining goals.
set rewards for yourself too, not just in the long run but for the little things like finishing a good study session or passing a paper early.
study reward ideas
that being said, don’t underestimate the power of setting your short-term goals. those will be your stepping stones to pursuing the bigger picture you envision for yourself.
Tumblr and Pinterest, provided you don’t go too far in using them, can serve your daily doses of inspiration. don’t just use them for the sake of looking at aesthetically pleasing shots, though.
on a final note, don’t let academics take over your life. I hope you have a fantastic year, and good luck!
difference between a report & a research paper
sources used: my history teacher & “Tips for Writing Analytic Research Papers.” (1998): n. pag. Harvard Kennedy School Shorenstein Center, 19 May 2009. Web. 29 May 2015.
• report
- organized regurgitation of facts gathered from research
- thesis statement is a general statement summarizing what your whole report is about
- thesis statement is NOT opinion or argument to be proven
- topic sentences of body paragraphs summarize what facts you’ll describe in that paragraph
- research + writing facts = report
• research paper
- organized analysis of facts gathered from research
- thesis statement identifies the overall argument or academic opinion that you will prove in your paper
- thesis statement must be (academic) opinion and argumentation
- research + writing facts + analysis = research paper
• so what is analysis? how do i do it?
analysis is basically breaking apart the facts you have found in your research and demonstrating critical thinking about those facts. make your analysis explicit - your reader should not have to infer or guess what your analysis is. it looks like:
• dissecting or breaking down larger events or concepts to explore the smaller parts [“dr. king’s plan comprised of three specific political and social actions” - then the author explains the parts]
• cause/effect [author describes situation that outrages dr. king - “this outrage motivated dr. king to deliver his speech”]
• identification or explanation of significance [“this speech is iconic in american history because…”]
• comparison of ideas from different sources, or differing opinions; examination of counterarguments [“critics of dr. king said…” “historians disagree…” “others have said…”]
• connection to broader ideas and themes in the relevant discipline [“king’s actions exemplify the overall trend in social activism towards nonviolent action to achieve change”]
• connection to experiences, examples in other geographic areas, time periods or disciplines [“this behavior is explained by psychologists as…” “the american civil rights movement was inspired by actions in…” “another leader who inspired people in similar ways was nelson mandela in south africa”]

Join us on the 17th and protest
For everyone’s information:
The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.
To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.
On the 17th, dead silence.
People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.
But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.
What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’
A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.
If you want to join in, here’s what to do:
Do:
Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th
Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad
Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion
Come back on the 18th and check in
Don’t:
Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)
Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.
Open the app or website (including specific blogs)
Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)
Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.
Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.
Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.
Me: I love fanfiction with slow burn and slow built relationships, I love the pining and I want to wait 1628 chapters and three eternity before they get their shit together and end up dating
Also me, two lines into the fanfiction: WHY DON’T THEY JUST KISS OH MY GOD THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING IT’S SO OBVIOUS THAT THEY LOVE EACH OTHER! JUST KISS ALREADY!!!
Synonyms are funny
