I’m honestly kind of digging the silver tone.

Today I studied:

Calc 3

Linear Algebra

And Physics 🙃 (sometimes I can’t stand this field, but I shall persevere)

Also, does anyone have any tips on HOW to study? It’s new to me 😔

Stressed? Have a relaxing time lapse

Calc 3 notes ✔️

Linear algebra notes ✔️

Linear algebra HW (in progress)

If I can do it, then so can you

One of my favorites (and there are a few pictures)

Here, have some thermo notes

I want straight A’s at least once in my life, but I find that I don’t actually put in the work to get it done. Often times I find myself doing just enough to get by, and despite being a STEM student, I really haven’t done much in the way of studying.

As much as I enjoy math and science, I find it painful to get into studying the material, and do just enough to get a decent grade.

All of this revolves around time management and coping with my adhd, but THE BOREDOM IS REAL and there’s only so much I can do to combat that.

I know grades aren’t a true measurement of success, but just once I’d like to know the joy of being that student.

-28 years and counting 😔

The infinite shades of gray.

Theorem: Take a circle, the area of this circle is the same as area of a right triangle that has one leg equal to the radius and one leg equal to the circumference of the circle..

A long time ago in a faraway land people led simple lives by the means of agriculture. There was plenty of food to eat and to be merry. They had roofs on their head and fresh river water flowing nearby. Life seemed perfect but it was not. Every year when the rains 🌂 began, the river nearby would flood into the village and destroy their lands and homes. The people in the village would move to a nearby village for shelter with their cattle. When the rain stopped they used to come back and each time they came back they found their place in destruction. Their houses had to be rebuilt and their lands had to be outlined again. Fights were a common scene on how the outline was before the water washed it away. So the concept of the area came to maintain peace.

Finding areas of lands made with straight lines was easy but how to find the area of a land that is a curve ?

Firstly instead of taking a land made up of crazy curves let's take a land made up of the simplest curve, the circle.Draw a circle and fill in its area. Then divide it into large equal parts and arrange them in a rectangle.

It's not yet a perfect rectangle.So divide the circle in parts and try arranging these sections into a rectangle.You'll get a thing that starts looking like rectangle.

Now as you divide the circle more and more and try to arrange those parts you'll get a more nice rectangle. This more and more is nothing but the concept of limits in calculus.

So the area of the circle is the area of the rectangle.The area of the rectangle is Base×Height. Here the height of the rectangle is the radius of the circle and Base is equal to twice the area of the circle. So cut up the rectangle diagonally and you'll get a right-angled triangle with a Base as the radius of the circle and height as the circumference of a circle.

To Kill A Mocking Bird By Harper Lee

"Shoot all the blue jays you want,if you can hit'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mocking bird"

This book throws light on various topics like prejudice, racism, civil rights, gender roles, perception, integrity without discussing them explicitly yet showing us a way to comprehend all of the topics and their effects on society.

The events take place in Maycomb, Alabama around the 1930s. It is as seen through the eyes of Scott Finch, a young bright girl of 6, inquisitive and brave to say the least. The book has the power to connect with the reader at a deeper level and help change the perspective on how one sees the world and the people in it.

What does FTC say?

It says that if a person takes the derivative of a function and then integrates it over a region on the number line say [a, b] then this is the same as evaluating the function on its endpoints.

What does the Green's Theorem say?

Green's Theorem is the fundamental theorem of calculus in 2 dimensions.Instead of taking the derivative of a single variable function we take the curl of a 2 variable function.Instead of integrating this over a number line we integrate it on the xy plane.Instead of evaluating the function at the two endpoints a and b and taking the difference, we take the line integral of the function and integrate it around the curve in a counterclockwise direction.

What does the stokes' theorem say?

Stokes' theorem is the fundamental theorem of calculus in 3 dimensions. Instead of taking the derivative of a single variable function, we take the three-dimensional curl. Instead of integrating this over a number line, we integrate it on the surface (To evaluate the surface integral one has to dot the vector field with unit normal vectors). Instead of evaluating the function at the two endpoints a and b and taking the difference, we take the line integral of the function and integrate it around the curve on a surface in a counterclockwise direction just like in Green's Theorem.

Today is Biologist's Day, it's my first celebration as a student of this science, there were several conferences at my university and they were all very interesting! , they made me remember why I started this

it was a fun week but now I have a lot of homework and things to study

This is my first post here ! , I want to stay motivated by romanticizing college, I'm in my first year of biology , so I hope to be more productive , this week I had studied thermodynamics in ecosystems and some basic chemical equations :)

Manifesting and Working hard towards THIS🤞🤞

And yet we don't take them.....we still live the same day everyday....procrastinating eating and repeating

it’s awesome how we have unlimited chances to become a better version of ourselves

Its 12:55am and I'll study as if my exam is tomorrow...I'll update you on how it goes

honestly, I think all I needed was for my bestfriend to come and scold me and then help me to make a plan to reach my goals...

I just studied for 1 hr today.....my day was wasted 💔

Today was my result day and I got 64%....never in my entire life have I gotten less than 90. But this year I was just plain arrogant , I wanted to get good marks by just studying on the last days and I was getting annoyed that it wasn't working in class 11 because for the previous years it was working out. So in the end I actually failed physics and gave retest for it and barely passed. My parents expressed their disappointment and honestly I'm dissapointed in myself too.....but I FAILED PHYSICS THEN WHY ARE THEY TELLING ME TO GET MATHS TUTION? I mean Ik my maths werent that good but I failed physics not maths besides out of PCM my highest was in maths.........................but idk how to speak about this to my papa

Give up your bad habits and do atleast one thing better than yesterday, improve yourself day by day, don’t ponder much on people’s thought and comments they don’t even know the tip of your inner self. They might know some sides which your parents don’t but realize that they still don’t really know who you actually are, so their judgements are not applicable to you. Just go and become better than yesterday,, DO better than yesterday. This is YOUR success, No one, not even your parents will care that much, You have to take care and pain for your success, No one will give a shit. It is your life, Your goals are something no one would understand not even your parents, your definition of success is different than everybody’s so take care, take pain

I need to study because I want to get in the best college/ university so that I can get good placement and starting package can be good also to have sophisticated and quality education compared to the rest of the people. I really want to be the girl who would make it above average. I want to be that girl who is disgustingly overeducated so that the second anyone has a question I am the first person they turn to and I am able to answer that question surely without a doubt on myself or my answer. I want to be appreciated and known for my knowledge because that is also the one thing that no one could ever take from me. tbh i just want to be that person which other parents use an example infront of their kids.(I swear this is the Indian in me)

I just had my retest today and I would like to thank God , because I passed my retest. Thank you so much god for listening to me. I promise this session I am gonna aim for 96%. I am going to study consistently everyday. I am going to prove it to myself that I can do it. All the mistakes I made in 11th, I'm gonna correct them now. I would just like to retell myself that it's never too late to correct your mistakes or it's ever too late to start studying. You can do it. All the best

(And yes, I'll keep updating..)

I started a productivity challenge for myself a few days ago....I was barely conpleting it. Only able to tick off 1 item off my to do list. I was still procrastinating watching tv shows, reading fanfictions, daydreaming. I still started this challenge of productivity, I was falsely trying to convince myself that I'll make it, that atleast I started with baby steps such as thinking about this, then posting the first 3 days of it on tumblr. But the real reason that I did this was because I was afraid I was gonna fail my physics exam. This was the fear inside me that I was trying to hide from myself and the people around me. And that is exactly what happened to me, I failed my physics exam and you wanna know the worst part? I kind of don't really care. And my parents didn't care either. Not in the way that you're thinking but last year in 10th grade, I was always being pushed to do best and my mom did so much for me, she used to teach me but since 11th I've heard it from so many people that 11th goes bad for every pcm kid and everyone suffers a downfall from 10th to 11th. But I literally failed. I went from getting atleast 95% to not even passing. That's how low I have fallen and i haven't cried yet. I feel like since I've been exposed to too many people saying that bad grades are literally a cannon event in 11th, I've grown numb to getting low score. Even though I'm realising this and writing it out, I'm still not feeling the sadness and the determination I know I would have felt in 10th and this is so sad. It is so disheartening. And tbh I'm clueless on how to study now. I have 2 days for the retest. A part of me is still sad about the indifference and the lack of emotion I'm showing regarding this.

🎼: Bored - Deftones

How does someone choose a major for their degree? Im about to finish highschool and I have no idea what I wanna do.

being a stem major with high love for humanities feels like being in a business marriage with a rich high class wife and having a constant affair with a dark academia mistress

National Technology Day - 11th May 2025 Tech Tok: The Short Attention Span

Instagram: ABC just sent you a reel. Instagram: XYZ just made a post. Snapchat: DSH sent a snap. Do you also see similar notifications pop up on your screen right after you keep your phone aside after hours of doom scrolling? And what do you do? Subconsciously pick up that phone again, reply and get lost in the world of videos and content again! If you think I spied on you, nah. Most of us are on the same boat, credits to the new favourite on the internet, the short-form content. What probably began as TikTok went ahead with Instagram Reels and Youtube shorts, and now, this short-form content greets us good morning before the people around us do. Constant notifications throughout the day disturb our focus and multitasking while watching these videos ruins the concentration of an individual. Though these videos cover more information in less time and are efficient, they affect the human brain and can be dangerous in the longer run. This micro habit develops overtime and subconsciously, we tend to check our phone in void times, as our brain is addicted that it unknowingly switches from one app to another where you spend hours endlessly scrolling videos and double tapping them to like. The human brain is tricked by features like infinite scroll and auto play, making the user spend more and more time on videos. These videos are smartly shot and scripted to grab the attention of the user in the least amount of time and keep them engaged with hooks or infinite loops, smooth transitions etc. Your social media feeds are tailored according to your interests with the help of cookies, and exploring videos on social media platforms is so easy that all you need to do is scroll to move to the next video. Does short form content have a bright side? Oh, yes. Educational videos have been able to perform well, with the aim to share maximum information in the least amount of time. But, not this doesn’t serve as the most efficient method. There is a difference between learning the information and consuming it. Educational reels do not serve their purpose unless the students are able to learn something rather than just watching it for fun. Though we’re advancing in the field of technology and finding new ways to reduce human work, somewhere in the background, these technological advancements are decreasing human efficiency. Our attention span has decreased over time and the ones who once watched a movie for 3 hours or had study sessions for long hours are now easily distracted within an hour. Learning through short form content is superficial and often lacks the core concepts and understanding, as perfection takes time and is not something that can be covered in less than a couple of minutes. Hours and hours of aimless scrolling through social media increases our mental fatigue and decreases our capacity to think critically. Though technology is a historical invention, it is our responsibility that we don’t get lost in the sea of reels and shorts!

Symphony of the Cosmos

In the swirls of the universe, is sung a symphony of poetic verse. The tunes of stars that burn so bright, Burning balls of nuclear fusion, lighting up the night. The gentle hums of the cosmic waves, like the songs of the sirens, carry stories of a distant place, in the hums of radio and gamma rays. Woodwinds of drifting planets sing the tune to their waltz, shillouettes of celestials dance around their stars. Percussions of a harmonic phenomenon, The Big Bang, Black Holes or a Hazy Nebula, Either the nebula's lullaby of a blossoming life, or the black hole announcing the swan song of light. They echo across the silent cosmos, exotic remnants of stars that shone bright. The seraphic strings of the harp are played, by the moons of the planet's waltz, a subtle tune of joy and merry, by the satellites lighting up our nights. Hear the symphony of the cosmos, The melody of our universe.
