Learning Calculus (one) Is Easier In University Than In High School Tbh. There's More Support And Office

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

this is so cute, like a tiny adventurer

my soul elevated

wondering for who it was created

reading the silent books

trying to keep my innocent look

wanting to hide in the crook

of your neck

but there's no one there

what else was to expect

to find out who will be the lucky heir

golden hour

headbands decorated with flowers

honey of our ellipse

the porcelain handle containing our tea

weaving the eclipse

Is this where I’m meant to be?

empowering bbe Tuesday afternoon; whatever that means

what is your daylist title on spotify today?

My apologies for the inactivity. Many things have been hectic. But, hopefully I'll be able to work towards becoming active consistently again. Thanks.

this is a NEED

Sending emails is already stressful enough; why make it more difficult by writing them from scratch each time? Above I’ve posted several email templates that I’ve used throughout high school and college with a pretty high success rate. I apologize for how not-pretty they look, but I promise the lack of aesthetic appeal doesn’t detract from the overall usefulness of these templates! You can also find these templates in this doc.

The templates given here are for:

Scheduling a meeting with someone

Sending in application materials for a job

Asking for an extension on an assignment

Sending a thank you email

Applying for a research position

Asking for a letter of recommendation

A few other tips:

Depending on your level of familiarity with who you’re emailing, you can start the email with “Hello NAME,” especially for the extension email. But when in doubt, err on the side of formality.

Don’t just copy and paste these templates! Use these as outlines/first drafts, and personalize your email before sending. 

A lot of professors will list their extension policies in the syllabus, so look that over before asking for extension. If a professor gives one-week extensions, don’t screw yourself over by asking for a three-day extension. Also, try to ask for an extension at least 1-2 weeks in advance. This shows that you’ve planned ahead and didn’t just slack off until the last second, and professors are more likely to be lenient.

You should try to ask for rec letters in person rather than over email. However, if you’re busy as hell or socially anxious (or both, as I was), this email should work in a pinch. I secured 4 out of 4 recommenders using this email format.

A list of professional salutations: sincerely, best, best regards, regards, thank you, thank you for (xyz). Mix and match to avoid repeating something you’ve already said within the email.

Now go forth and email!
