Toxic romanticization of studying

In a word of introduction, my profile partly shows that studying and exploring is wonderful. But as a person involved in science*, I would like to show healthy and true patterns of this beautiful adventure in acquiring knowledge.

The inspiration for writing this post this time was not the phenomenon from Tumblr (although you can also observe it here), but from Pinterest. There you can come across cycles composed of quotes and photos whose aim is to motivate young girls to learn, succeed and get good grades. These images often also show examples of characters from movies, TV series or real life that you can aspire to be like. Overall, I have to agree that it really works! But I would like to draw attention to certain elements that need to be verified.

1. You shouldn't get up at 5am

First of all, the correct amount of sleep is one of the most important factors affecting the proper and effective functioning of our brain. During sleep, nerve cells regenerate, organize information acquired during the day and consolidate memory traces, which is directly related to learning. Lack of sleep increases impulsivity, deepens negative thinking and slows down the body's reaction time!

2. You can be a genius without good grades

Of course, good grades are a pleasant confirmation of our knowledge and praise for hard work. However, sometimes it is worth considering whether the structure of exams themselves, especially those with closed questions, affects the results. We often study for one specific exam, the knowledge of which may be very… limited and sometimes not useful, so it is worth prioritizing the topics that we study hard.

3. It's not cool to think you're better than others

We are different and have different priorities in life. It is also worth considering how many people escape from the rat race and start a slow, stress-free life. So we have to agree that judging people based on grades or responses under stress (sic!) is not cool.

The good thing about romanticizing studying

As I have already said, these types of collages are really motivating. So let's talk about what's great about them and what's worth highlighting and saving for later.

1. Knowledge is beautiful, but your outfit and surroundings can also be

We know that we should never judge a book by its cover, but… the issue of social perception painfully confirms that we do and will continue to do so because this is how our brains work. And isn't it nice when someone looks at us and thinks this girl is so classy?

Moreover, a nice outfit that makes us feel good gives us a lot of self-confidence. There are also many studies confirming the positive impact on motivation and concentration of a neat and aesthetic workplace.

2. Not just cramming, but also discovering

Broadening your horizons is easier with passion and real commitment. And to achieve this, the topics must really interest us. Not everyone has yet found something that they are extremely passionate about in science, so that is why you have to dig deeper and discover different areas.

3. Don't be afraid to use your knowledge in practice

Schools and universities, unfortunately, have their own rules and they do not always allow you to show your 100% potential. Thus, share your knowledge with others externally, write essays, blog and social media. This form of activity also makes you learn things faster and easier. In addition, contacts with others will expand your knowledge.

Therefore, I must say that it is worth choosing your inspirations carefully. Nothing helps you enjoy studying better than a clear head and lack of prejudices.

*This post was inspired by my own experience with studying. If anyone is interested, I think I can share my mistakes that did not help me in an academic adventure :)

i wish someone would just invent an app like simply plural but where you can easily share it. everyone says use google docs or something else like it where you can't create individual profiles that don't clutter the page. we have a lot of alters and we're getting increasingly frustrated that we can't find anything to list them in a way that isn't overwhelming. our alters also like to visually represent themselves but don't really have anywhere to have like a gallery or anything. we do video visits with our therapist so we can't physically show her our phone. it's so frustrating.

Ah yeah, we feel you there. Our system uses Simply Plural but it can be kind of clunky or difficult to use for our specific purposes sometimes (not knocking the app at all… We love the app and use it all the time, we just agree that there are certain features that it just doesn’t have).

Maybe making some sort of physical journal or binder could help you guys. If you have access to a printer, you could print out little picrews or other images to include, and you could also draw and write in it, too. That way, you could have something to bring to therapy that you could show your therapist without needing your phone for it.

Also maybe consider making a Carrd? Though I think the unpaid version of Carrd has restrictions for the number of pages and images you can include, so that could probably cause some issues.

We know the website Lighthouse doesn’t have an app, and we haven’t personally used it so we can’t speak to its features, but maybe it has some capabilities that might work for you? Could be worth checking out…

If anyone knows of any Simply Plural alternatives that work well for outside sharing, please let us know!

This is my final for one of my graphic design interactive media class...LMAO I would have liked to do more but I was going over the time limit. One of these days maybe I'll be able to expand upon this + improve the black sabbath scene + etc.

#me art #devilman #ryo asuka #akira fudo #ryokira #we were given less than two weeks to work on this... on top of a bunch of other projects expected to be completed #a lot of my peers I saw were doing simply just lyric videos and having fun with like transformations in adobe after effects #which in retrospect is probably a better idea than what I did which is. as you can see. hand drawing every panel for like 2 minutes worth #of content. I hope I will be able to have energy to pull through and finish this term.... after everything I've been having to deal with #I really hope this will not be my last graphic design class :')

The Birth of Copia

Way back in January, I hurt my right hand and I couldn’t draw - or do much in general without pain - with it. Then a friend’s recommendation got me into Ghost and their music really helped me through a time when I felt quite down and restless as I thought I wouldn’t be able to pursue any of my hobbies for quite some time (which was mostly true). But then I bought tickets to a Re-Imperatour ritual and spent the next two months working on this shirt design with my left hand instead. Needless to say, it tested my patience a lot at times, but my left-handed drawing improved quite a bit and I had a lot of fun, which was something I greatly needed at that time. My right hand is better - although not fully healed yet - and I’m seeing Ghost next week (!!!) and I shall be wearing my self-made shirt. <3

more of a reminder to myself but i think it works for others too

its okay to have a crush on characters and create content for the selfship once and not do it again. sometimes its just that little burst of motivation of "if i cant immortalize an imagery of me kissing them then whats the point" they don't have to be your fo immediately its okay to just. create something out of it to let out that lil excitement and they're just a crush

others might expect that you'll be creating more content with them since you might've made a really well thought out concept for your insert/oc but its not the case and thats okay

#this is me with a lot of my pokemon crushes and i dont really bother to say it aloud because its. really minor but sometimes they just swoop #in my head momentarily and im like ohhh i gotta. make something.#me with morty AJAJSJHEJS no but i have a lot of really cute ideas in my head lollll #bil.ly kid works too - but also because the game isnt officially out yet for me to get a grip of the concept #like im also beginning to remember and realize i had MORE genshin crushes than i thought i had but its not worth mentioning because.#ill probably not talk about it again LMAO #thooo if anyone i think morty is gonna be crush im willing to draw a lot for #~ rambling #i think i got off track but yeah

Heya, you know that rhythm game Friday Night Funkin?

I was lately thinking about, how cool it would be to sing against all of the sanses...

... yeah, I guess I have a new obsession...

(also lately got a little into drawing models for animation and the process of organized drawing is kind of satisfying)

Killer Sans by @rahafwabas

#undertale #undertale au #killer sans #fnf concept #i'd love to sing against him #and probably would get stabbed after that #but honestly #worth it #and I already have a rough sketch for the other 4 poses #and I wanted to draw Dust next #and now I realize that this means a lot of work...

Have you ever worked at any sort of animation company?

Yes! Actually currently! Magnetic Dreams Animation.

I am a Storyboard Artist, Character Designer, and make prop designs too! It is one thing I'm very proud of, that I got to do what I've always wanted to straight out of college.

I worked on Sesame Street as a character designer, On a movie called 'Die in a Gunfight' as an animatic artist, various music videos, Storyboarded for 'Lauren's Kids' (upcoming educational program for schools), and currently! My favorite thing:

Bedtime Defenderz, an upcoming kids' Youtube series by Scentco! I had the opportunity to design the main kid characters and have boarded for several eps so far.

I boarded the pilot AND redesigned Magnus for television here:

But I've only worked in the industry for a year and a bit now! Still have a long ways to go.

#im very proud of my work #and I love it!#sometimes its a lot of drawing #because I love drawing for me too #but worth it!

I always forget that growing is a painful process. It's not suddenly being at peace because you're doing something right, it's clawing your way out of old habits and everything stings as you grow into yourself. It's difficult, it is stressful, but in the long run it is so so so worth it

#I'm feeling the development lol #Basically I've moved onto intermediate spanish videos and suddenly I am not restricted to beginner content #INTERMEDIATE #how cool is that??#I am way more motivated in spanish and in school work and in my instruments #I have callouses now which will help with violin a LOT #you all don't even know #I'm practicing piano and enjoying it #I am working on my spanish output #I want to draw and learn to draw more... So that's what I'm going to do for the next few weeks!#like putting in the effort is apparently worth it :0
