Studying Isn't About Grades, It's About Falling In Love With A Subject.

some biology notes from last semester 🦎

I will succeed. Not immediately. But definitely.

it’s the first official day of freshers week and i’ve got my uni opening ceremony is this morning! yesterday i also took part in my first uni tradition - the Pier Walk, which is where everyone walks down the old pier in their traditional red robes. it took FOREVER (literally stood around waiting for about two and a half hours) before we actually got to the end of the pier because there were so many people, but it was super fun and a great memory that i know i’ll have forever!

I'm in my "I don't know how but i will" era

i'm procrastinating on my homework as i'm writing this this

Whenever I take a break from reading because I'm too lazy and return to it later, I'm always surprised. Because I really really find my courses interesting and I love reading and finding out more things about it. I'm always like "I didn't want to read this??"

Anyways, I'm locked in again! I have to catch up on A LOT of classes, so wish me speed. I also have a test by the end of this month and I've not started prepping for it. And it's PSYCHOLOGY! Oh well

remember to thank yourself for how far you’ve come.

it hasn’t been easy.

166 days to go

More writing.

When I study, it helps me a lot to write down the information, even if I don't go back to look at it, so it would've been a lot of paper waste on my part. I decided to get a tablet and I'm a huge Android fan. This is my Samsung tab s6, i got it second hand, and after one year of using it a lot, I still have no complaints!

Highly recommend it :)

I request advice! I'll be starting on a new academic road this coming August and I desire to not use as much paper as I did in undergraduate.

For context, I'm a mathematics student for whom hand-typed notes are made more accessible by LaTeX but still not easily producible during a lecture, particularly if that lecture involves multiple operations, fractions within fractions, and symbols I haven't encountered before. In geometry classes, there is no hope. Moreover, practicing mathematics context is best done by hand, at least for me.

What I'm seeking are paper-less options that will still allow me to "hand write." I've seen iPad and Apple Pencil recommendations online, but I prefer non-Apple products. What has worked well for others, math or non-math?
