Study Tips for Students like Me & You
Organize your time if it's not a distraction. Planners are meant to help you and get work done, not procrastinate by planning.
Get all the jitters out before studying, addressing all of your concerns so you enter with a clear, determined mind.
Eliminate distractions when possible, or filter out the distractions with music!
Create mini-goals to make the daunting tasks more simple and less scary to complete.
Step away if you get too frustrated with a concept or don't understand it. Come back to it when you have energy and tolerance.
Know how to balance your hobbies with your responsibilities, allowing you to avoid burnout for much longer.
If studying a weak point, remind yourself it's okay, and no matter the outcome, you're going to go down with the ship trying and fighting.
Be realistic and optimistic. Don't procrastinate too much when you think you have more time than necessary.
If you are doing last-minute studying, acknowledge the possibility that you might not do as well, but don't lose hope as any amount of studying always counts!
Create one big goal to help motivate you for your little goals. My grand goal is to one day earn a PhD.

How to Study History & Why I Love It
How to Study History (my way):
First, understand the cold facts - such as dates and context - what’s going on and why?
Imagine history as a roadmap you are creating in your mind as you study events and movements.
Try to imagine historical events as a drama. That way it’s easier to digest as a subject
Understanding context and why is the foundation of writing an argument, creating a comparison, seeing what changed and what didn’t, and allowing you to connect and feel history more deeply.
Truly be invested in how historical events have helped shape the world and the innovations around us.
Why I Love History as a Subject:
History allowed me to become more eloquent in speech and writing by allowing me to take rigorous humanities based classes.
If the teacher is interesting, it becomes a great class discussion with emphasis and thought-provoking ideas and arguments.
It has helped me see both the beauty of the human mind and the horrors of humanity.
It gives me hope that though change is slow (and sometimes unlikely), a better world and future is possible if we work together.
It has given me confidence as a student to achieve great things while thinking of each and every consequence an action may have.

Where dark academia and history share a dance:
learning calculus (one) is easier in university than in high school tbh. there's more support and office hours to help you out. but the practice problems are so much more complex to implement. But at least I'm not forced to teach myself like in high school. I'm slowly getting more confident in math o(^o^)o
when the code works perfectly by the compiler, but the test fails for some reason. and you spend your time trying to figure it out only to realize that if you placed it earlier into the code, it passes both the compiler and the test. Coding makes me so dramatic and frustrated, but I love figuring out the answers at the same time ◉_◉
What is your favorite music to study to?
My favorite music to study to depends on what my mood is. If I'm doing alright, I'll listen to something deeper like chemtrails over the country club, evermore, folklore: the long pond studio sessions, or red tv.
If I'm anxious about my studies I usually listen to happier or upbeat music like: lover, 1989 tv, speak now tv, honeymoon, lust for life, born to die, midnights, or even electronic music like keep up by odetori lol.
But, if I'm really frustrated with math or coding, I do it in silence to really focus. If I have any music on when I'm frustrated it irritates me so much lol.
Reblog if you ARE a woman in STEM, SUPPORT women in STEM, or ARE STILL BITTER about Rosalind Franklin not getting credit for discovering the structure of DNA and the Nobel prize going to Watson and Crick instead.
Eukaryotic cell gang!! We love women in STEM.
The organelles of the cells have been translated into human anatomy, so the nucleus is the brain, the vacuole function as the lungs, and the mitochondria is the heart since it’s the… you already know, I don’t have to say it ;)

I just got back from my first conference as a grad student! It was a really wonderful experience. I learned so much, met tons of people, and even won the poster competition :))) I'm also feeling very encouraged after seeing how many bright, passionate people are working on solutions to intimidating environmental problems. 10/10, can't wait for next year!
Can I just say that as a future engineer, and hopeful candidate for the NASA space program Katherine Johnson, and NASA engineer Mary Jackson are the women I look up to. Every day I go to class I get my male peers treating me like I do f have the capability to understand the coursework. I get declined internships because they don’t feel I could handle the workload like the “strong men on the floor.” However none of these small inconveniences even pale in comparison to the suffering these brave, brilliant women had to go through to garner the respect they so deserved. Despite all the hardship, injustice, prejudice, and hate they received from a society who refused to see their worth simply because of what they looked like, these women kept fighting. They fought the good fight, and helped pave the way to a better future. A future where men and women alike could touch the stars. These are the women I want to make proud. These are the women that I want to succeed for.
Katherine Johnson (b. 1918) is a physicist and mathematician who has made crucial contributions to several NASA missions, assuring their success with her highly accurate calculations. She worked with NASA for several decades, and helped advance the rights of both African-Americans and women.
She initially worked as a human computer, and later as an aerospace technologist. She calculated trajectories for missions such as the 1961 Mercury mission or the 1969 Apollo 11 flight. She was portrayed by Taraji P. Henson in the 2016 film Hidden Figures.
sometimes being a woman in STEM is about color-coding your lab data into a perfectly organized Google sheet and honestly? that's ok
Anna, Rose, and Margaret, completely covered in dirt, after one of those days where everything hurt, raise a glass to toast the past. To Maria Cunitz.
Subjecting my girlfriend to oxidative stress, repeated freeze thaw cycles, and direct sunlight as part of her soft “irresponsible laboratory practices” kink
you tell your girlfriend you're into degradation and she nods and says she's willing to try that. later that night, she ties you up and gropes you some before stopping pouring a bucket of water on you. she does this repeatedly while you are stunned into silence. you manage to ask her what she's doing and she looks at you confused saying that she's trying to erode you
Research alert! A new study finds that an extremely well-preserved fossil of Triarthrus eatoni, a trilobite found in upstate New York, has an additional set of legs underneath its head! What did researchers learn from this discovery? Find out with Museum Curator Melanie Hopkins, who coauthored the research. Read more.
