I Wish The Stigma Of Going To Community College Wasn’t So Big. It’s Seen As A “lesser” Option,

this and those two adhd studying tips posts on reddit are LIFESAVERS

some people were asking for actual advice and i can never pass up an opportunity to procrastinate so here’s just a couple of things i always need to remind myself of…now back to my paper :(

it’s the start of the new block and i’m taking up radiology and veterinary epidemiology this time. i also moved my setup around and i feel like this one’s comfier. compared to my study space at home, i only have a relatively smaller table here so a laptop, rather than a full pc setup, seems like the right choice.

Reblog if you’re an active studyblr account so we can follow each other.

Hello! Apologies if this question has been asked before. Is there any way to get a job curating/storing/classifying/cleaning/whatever artifacts without getting a degree? I don’t know much about archaeology but sitting in a back room dusting off pottery shards and sticking them in labeled baggies sounds awesome, honestly I’d far rather do that than do field work anyway lol.

You could try to volunteer, but I don't know how much luck you have. One of the hardest things to do is "get your foot in the door" and being a student is one of the best ways to do that. I very forcefully shoved my foot in the door by seeking out internships with two of the archaeology professors at my university. They already knew me and knew what I was capable of, so they let me work with them. I don't know if the same opportunity would be given to someone they didn't know, and who doesn't have any background education.

I hate to say this because I really do think that archaeology is for everyone, but without any sort of archaeology education I don't think that you could get a paying job doing lab work. There are to many trained archaeologists looking for positions, and not enough job openings, so it doesn't really make sense to hire someone who has no prior knowledge and no credentials.

See if your state (if you're in the US) has an Archaeology Day. It's usually at a State museum, and a lot of different archaeology groups will be there with tables about their programs. This is probably the best place to inquire about any sort of lab work volunteering.

Gosh I hate grind culture. My little sister just started medical school and all of her orientation leaders are like “you absolutely cannot have a life WHATsoever you WILL have to give up EVERYTHING besides this program say GOODBYE to your hobbies and relationships” and now she’s calling me feeling guilty for running and going to the grocery store and that’s just WRONG! And that is exactly what I was told starting law school as well, and rejecting that mentality was the best thing I ever did but it was so hard not to buy into. Anyway if any of you are in an intense academic program PLEASE take time to sleep and eat and exercise and maintain your relationships and keep up your hobbies! you are not a robot who exists solely to study and I promise that living a life and staying physically and mentally healthy is not going to make you fail
