Some Photos From My Studygram!!!!

almost everyone loves space. we are all fascinated by some aspect of the universe at some point in our lives, whether that aspect is the changing colours of the sky or the millions of stars and clusters of stars in our never-ending galaxy. as someone who plans to study astronomy and cosmology when they grow up, space definitely means a lot to me. the sad part is that we know so little about the universe, even after studying it for centuries. but what we do know now is what’ll help us make huge new discoveries, so here’s a masterpost of common questions/answers + resources for learning more about something we know almost nothing about - the universe!

Psychology & Handwriting Analysis: Size

Aristotle spoke of dividing man into three aspects: the mind, the body, and the spirit: “Speech is the expression of ideas or thoughts or desires. Handwriting is the visible form of speech. Just as speech can have inflections of emotions, somewhere in handwriting is an expression of the emotions underlying the writer’s thoughts, ideas, or desires.”

Meaning: The size of the writing reveals whether a person is feeling socially extroverted or introverted. It also reveals your capacity for concentration.

Note: Sometimes your size changes, look at the definitions that describe your mood.

1. Overly Large Handwriting:

This person demands to be seen & heard

This writer overdoes (exaggerates) the size in compensation for an inner feeling of smallness and/or unimportance

Obsession with attention & will go to great lengths to obtain it

Displays obsessive tendencies by writing huge letters (to call attention on himself)

Hey! I have to do a quick presentation (like 2 minutes, tops) about literally any topic for a nuclear science class. I was thinking something along the lines of radiation in space but I'm clueless. Any suggestions?

You could talk about nuclear fusion in the core of stars, and how stars don’t create elements heavier than iron because instead of creating energy through fusion it requires energy.

All elements heavier than iron are formed during supernovae. After a star dies, the energy can be transferred into creating heavier elements! Thank a dead star for your existence

I have found it challenging, even within the langblr community, to find a list of beginner resources for learning German, so I decided to make one!

Tips ⭐︎ Try to practice every day! It really makes a difference and learning a language isn’t something you can accomplish overnight! ⭐︎ Keep a journal of your notes, grammar rules, and so on! Use sticky notes and flags to stay organized and easily flip back to charts and important rules! ⭐︎ Set a goal! It’s much easier to work toward a defined goal than just the overall hopes of mastering a language! ⭐︎ Film yourself speaking! I know it sounds weird, but it helps with pronunciation, and you can always look back to old videos to see how far you’ve come! ⭐︎ Learn through media! Watch tv shows and movies, read the news, listen to music, and so on in your target language! It’s a fun way to learn and will help with sentence structure, vocabulary, popular culture, and pronunciation! ⭐︎ Know that your studyblr/langblr community is always here for support! Reach out to bloggers who are fluent in your target language, and message them! Casual conversation in your target language can be helpful, but having a native speaker assist you is even more useful!

MUJI/STATIONERY GIVEAWAY ~ MULTIPLE WINNERS

Hey guys, it’s been a while. I’m in my second semester of college now, realizing that my school stationery days are coming closer and closer to the end.

Everyone has their different tactics for notetaking, and although I have been an absolute stationery fiend since I was a kid, I noticed I prefer taking notes in class with just pen and paper, no real fancy sticky notes, index cards, tabs, or washi tape. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When I was a sophomore in High School, a friend and I would go into NYC often during the summer (we live 15 miles outside the city) and literally RAID the muji stores STUFFING OUR SHOPPING BAGS WITH STATIONERY AND OTHER SUPPLIES. We would walk all the way from the financial district and hit up EVERY muji store until 42nd street. (That’s over 50 New York blocks WALKING because him and I were too shy to flag down a taxi—- and at this time there were only 4 mujis in our area, now there are 6.)

So I have, like, 30 muji pens, 15 notebooks, maybe 30 altogether if you count the various sizes, TONS of little sticky notes (like the infamous cat sticky notes that muji carries) sticky tabs, special letter writing stationery, all sorts of stuff!!

And over the years I’ve also had the opportunity to shop at various Japanese and Korean markets and stores that carry ENDLESS supplies of kawaii themed stationery.

I don’t need this stuff in my life anymore and for the past 3 years it’s all been stowed away nicely and untouched as desk accessories.

I would like to hand down these items to MULTIPLE lucky winners of a giveaway I had in mind.

Because I have SO MUCH muji stationery and other kawaii stationery, the giveaway prizes would be randomized but equally divided as much as possible. And based on the popularity of products (like the popular pens and notebooks) I would make sure each winner gets at least one or two of those “special items”.

^^^ I know that this is a really ugly pic but I just spent some time hauling out the HUGE load of unused (or very lightly used) stationery that is just laying around my house. Everything is in super good if not perfect condition, and anything that has writing in it will NOT be included in the giveaway. (Obviously)

What prizes are included?

Muji pens

Muji notebooks (in various sizes)

Muji sticky notes

Muji notepads

Muji highlighters

Muji lettersets (mini and standard size)

Muji erasers

Kawaii themed stationery:

Rilakkuma

Pom Pom purin

Sumikko gurashi

Kakao Friends (possibly, not sure if I’ll give it up hah)

EXCLUSIVE Studio Ghibli stationery found in the Japan store in Epcot, Disney World

Kiki’s Delivery Service and Totoro

Moleskine notebooks!

Special art markers (similar to mildliners)

And I’m still going through A LOT of my stuff so there will be more, I may have some pencil cases to give away!!!!

How do I enter???

All you have to do is reblog this post!! I want it to get lots of exposure so I can get rid of this stuff!

You don’t even have to follow me if you don’t want to. But I will say that in the future I will be doing a special Pusheen Box giveaway as well! (Probably in May!)

Deadline:

I will announce SIX (6) winners on March 15th AT RANDOM from the list of reblog s this post gets.

I will message each of the six winners for their mailing addresses, if a winner doesn’t respond by March 17th, then I will go on to a different random entry.

Please get this around the studyblr community, I hate seeing my lovely stationery untouched and unused, it breaks my heart. :”( It would mean a lot if you could reblog this for entry!!

Everyone have a lovely day and also, it won’t count as an additional entry, but if you follow my Instagram @jesspurr I will be posting my own hand drawn stationery and probably more pics of the giveaway prizes from there! (As well as on this tumblr account).

Keep studying friends, and good luck! ♪( ´▽｀)

10 Interesting Psychology Facts

1. Cognitive Dissonance - the idea that when we hold two conflicting thoughts or beliefs, we unconsciously adjust to make one fit with the other. My social psychology professor gave an example of a student who values studying all the time, but slacks off when it comes to their favorite television show. So the student tells herself that watching the television helps her study later when it really doesn’t. However, telling herself that helped her eased the anxiety.

2. Hallucinations are common - one third of people report experiencing hallucination at some point in time. Similarly, normal people often have paranoid thoughts. So when was the last time you hallucinated?

3. The Placebo effect - this is when you think that something like a drug has an effect on you when really it doesn’t. It’s your thoughts that actually resulted in you getting better.
