Studying is easy with a cat around 🐱

I found this on pinterest and it's really helpful and effective and it's so obvious that I usually forget about it ✨

this quote from ovid’s telling of orpheus turning back to look at eurydice makes me crumble

Brown University students are launching an indefinite hunger strike for Palestine

they are asking for their university to divest from companies profiting from the genocide in gaza and openly call for a ceasefire and will not eat until the university governing bodies hears and considers a divestment resolution. if you are not familiar with the physical toll a hunger strike takes on the body, it might be worth looking up to get a better sense of what a significant action these students are taking. the university's highest governing body is having their first meeting of 2024 on february 8-9th so let's rally around them to muster even more pressure on brown university.

brown university contact page: let's state our support for these students and let brown university know the world will be watching what happens next!

Today's learning, 15/05/23

I am back with another learning of today. So, let's explore together what is in this blog :-

Today was my exam of english and I hadn't prepared anything from the beginning. I woke up at 2:00 am in the morning and learned word meaning, watched summary of three chapters and prepared the internal part, prepared grammar section and answered question and answer to check my progress. And at last, everything was prepared but this exam had told me one thing which is in learning part.

Learning:- I learnt that preparing at last moment shows that how weak you are at controlling your mind. Let me explain this sentence:- It shows that you hadn't learnt to control your mind yet because you had wasted your time earlier(you cannot control your mind) and at last moment, you are compensating for that left work. While preparing at last moment, you are in high pressure, your heart beats are fast and at the same time you have a guilt inside yourself that 'why I hadn't prepared earlier?' and your confidence fall down which is not acceptable. Learn tiny tiny portions everyday. So, that whenever exam date are declared, you are not left with nothing prepared. This is very easy to say but it is very tough to execute in real life. But it is true and logical and you had to accept it. I also learnt that exams are very important because it hurts our sentiments and gave us life changing failures and learning.

IF YOU GET TIRED, LEARN TO REST NOT TO QUIT

Spring at the university campus 🌷

An 11 year old girl made fun of my study buddy (my froggy stuffed frog) yesterday.😑

WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS? THAT WAS MEAN! 😮‍💨

The other 4 years old was trying to steal it but I got it back when she was busy with other toys THANKFULLY

reblog if you think these are all valid reasons for a student or an employee to take a day off from their school or their job without their grades or paycheck being affected in any way:

- period cramps

- exhaustion, be it mental or physical

- depression, anxiety, and other mental health related issues

Once you learn something, make sure you stay up to date.

gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
