Sunday, September 20th, 2020 | This Morning Was Nice! I Had A Smoothie And Did My Planning For The Week,

hello!! I’m new to studyblr and really love your blog!! I was wondering what your note taking process is... for example do you write your notes the way they are the first time? or do you write your notes as anyone would in class and then rewrite them after you have your first draft? thanks!!

hi thank you so much and welcome! my note taking process varies from class to class, and i’ll put overly-detailed info abt that in the read more but if u take 2 points pls let it be these:

don’t rewrite your notes (it might b fun but unless you’re making a review sheet from a lot of different notes or something: it’s just a huge waste of time and it’s not helpful for actually reviewing material!)

all you need to take notes is a pen/pencil and a notebook (seriously. if you are abt to spend a bunch of money on colored pens or w/e for fun? go nuts. but if it’s bc you think it will help you study better? it will not.)

ok here we go (no pictures! bc 1. i am too lazy to take the time to find my old notes and 2. i don’t want u to try to emulate what my notes look like. these are supposed to work for u!)

Happy Friday loves!

Be the academic you've always dreamt of being. Stay up till 3 a.m. with your paperbacks scattered on the table and a cup of black coffee, write annotations beside the lines you want to remember, consistently scribble down your notes with your favourite black pen. Absorb whatever your professor says, think about it, come up with questions and hang around in the library pouring over thousands of books trying to quench. that. thirst. for. knowledge. Just do it, stop coming up with excuses that studying can't be romanticised. Live that academia life.

gotta write a research paper for astronomy now whoops

shouldn’t be too hard tbh

done

Hi Ranowa! I LOVE your stories so much omg!! I was wondering if you could maybe help me find this one specific fanfic that I lost? It's post-Reichenbach, where John is grieving, and it takes him like 42 days to realize what Sherlock meant by his phonecall 'note', and John works on clearing Sherlock's name then waits in a house by the sea for a year and a half, after which Sherlock shows up? It's driving me nuts that I lost this! Thank you!

Thank you so much!!! <3

Hmmmmm on one hand it definitely sounds familiar (the house by the sea is definitely a John-during-the-hiatus trope I’ve seen a few times) but I don’t think I’ve ever read this one! Anyone else have any ideas?

Colleagues AUs

We have to do a project together and it’s like the group projects in school: one is doing the work and the other one’s only sitting around and comments on everything.

We’re sharing a small office and we always fight about the temperature.

There is only one copy room on our floor and we both have to copy something, but someone’s obviously having a good time in there, so we both stand there awkwardly and wait for them to finish.

You took the last bit of coffee and didn’t make a new one. That’s unacceptable.

Since you started working here you never stopped asking me out for lunch and it always seemed like a joke to you, so today I say yes and wait for your reaction.

The company is searching for a new slogan and made a competition out of it for their employees and we both want to win the car that the winner is getting.

I hear you swearing at your computer because it doesn’t open your mail account, move over, I’m going to fix it.

One of the colleagues is retiring and we were supposed to order a cake and forgot about it, the party starts in half an hour, we have to do something!!!

Did I daydream this, or was there a website for writers with like. A ridiculous quantity of descriptive aid. Like I remember clicking on " inside a cinema " or something like that. Then, BAM. Here's a list of smell and sounds. I can't remember it for the life of me, but if someone else can, help a bitch out <3
