𝟭. my notepad ( 📱 )

i take very messy notes, especially when the professor speaks fast and i have to write in a hurry. many note-taking apps allow you to record the teacher's voice, so you can listen back to the lesson when you reorganize your notes at home. the notepad allows me to write pages and pages without wasting paper.

𝟮. charger ( 🔌 )

i often spend 9 or 10 hours at university and i can't risk one of my devices running out of battery. with a charger always in my bag i never risk finding myself unable to use my phone or notepad.

𝟯. water bottle ( 🍶 )

it is important to stay hydrated during the day, especially if you spend a lot of time at university. i recommend always having a two-liter water bottle available, especially during long lessons that require concentration.

𝟰. snacks/lunch ( 🍲 )

preparing healthy meals for lunch improves not only your health, but also your productivity and concentration during lessons. having snacks high in phosphorus and magnesium to consume throughout the day will prevent you from consuming junk food from vending machines. ( + don't forget chewing gums !! )

𝟱. hygiene bag ( 🌷 )

i'll make a specific post for this.

𝟲. umbrella ( ☂️ )

i admit i'm terrible at this because I always forget my umbrella. i'm lucky enough to live near the university, so i walk there, but it becomes a real problem when it starts raining and i have to run home in the rain. so always carry a small pocket umbrella in your bag, i suggest it from experience.

𝟳. books ( 📚 )

it may seem strange but i don't use books at university. many of the lessons in architecture are practical and we do not follow specific textbooks for the theoretical lessons (the professors prefer to provide us with materials and use powerpoints), but it depends on the faculty you attend, your study method and the teaching method of your professor.

any interaction with the post will be appreciated !! ♡

(17) 𝐕𝐀𝐋 ’ ( studyblr ) on Tumblr: my goal in life is to become the most well educated, well dressed, well mannered, most successful, most humble person you'll...

But then what will you do with that knowledge

knowledge should be the food of young people, and i'm sorry that many don't understand this. only through the exploration of experiences far from everyday life - either through the study of literature and the classics, gaining conscious information through the media, and through the empirical experiences of life - critical thinking can be acquired.

critical thinking is "the process of thinking carefully about a subject or idea, without allowing feelings or opinions to affect you." [source: dictionary.cambridge.org]

it's what my generation is missing. the ability to form one's own thoughts based on information, and not having to scroll through the comments of a tiktok to develop an idea. by studying you acquire this skill, and by acquiring knowledge you gain the ability to form opinions and defend them coherently using logical tools; ergo, you do not end up making senseless sentences and then not being able to defend them.

then, when i'll consider myself sufficiently mature, educated and well-informed (which may never happen, but it is definitely my goal), i will pass this wisdom and hunger for knowledge to my children and to the people in my life who will be willing to face their personal path of openness to knowledge.

plato (probably reporting socrates' words) said, "ὅτι ἃ μὴ οἶδα οὐδὲ οἴομαι εἰδέναι" (in english: “i know that i don't know”) and there is no shame in that. but not being able to know everything doesn't mean we shouldn't know anything.

i don't wanna be a victim of this society and time, and i'm gonna do everything that is in my power to avoid it.

so yeah, this is what i'm gonna do. sounds good, right?

discipline is self care

self care isn't just face masks and bubble baths, it's also doing your assignment in advance so you won't pull an all nighter before the deadline, cooking at home instead of ordering out; discipline is an act of self love and care

me: finds intelligence hot

also me: unconditionally and furiously despises anyone who is even slightly better than me at anything

the STEM part of my uni major is hitting a little too hard these days >:(
