HOW TO WRITE A //HIGH SCHOOL// ESSAY
When most* English teachers grade essays, they aren’t actually sitting down and reading your work like it’s a novel. They scan through and make sure you have all the key components for essay writing (that’s why you see little checkmarks over your essay when it’s returned. Once they see you have the sentence there, they leave the mark and move on).

This is the template I used for 90% of my essays in high school:
I just filled in the sentences for the relevant topic, copy pasted them into a paragraph, and proofread once or twice to make sure it flowed and there were no basic spelling mistakes.

*THIS IS NOT //GOOD// ESSAY WRITING
In an academic capacity, these types of essays are weak, boring, and won’t hold up. It works in high school because /technically/ it has everything you need, so it gets a 100/100 (or close, fingers crossed) on the rubric.
If you end up with a teacher that doesn’t let you just plug in sentences and actually pushes you to /write/ something, take advantage of it! I learned more about writing from one teacher that ignored rubrics and actually graded the quality of my work than I did in all four years of high school combined.
That being said, this is not meant to put down teachers or make it seem like I know everything. I’m absolutely sure all the english teachers I had saw through what I was doing (one or two of them even commented on it), but it was still enough (the bare minimum) to get me through the slog of high school. Good luck and happy writing!

NOTES ABOUT THE TEMPLATE:
Add in transition words at the start of each paragraph and at the beginning of each new piece of “PROOF”
Repeat the “BODY PARAGRAPH” template three times with each different piece of your thesis
You only need 2-3 ‘PROVE, EXPLAIN, CONNECT” sections for each body paragraph. A good idea is to aim for one longer paragraph with three supports, and have that be your strongest argument, and let your two other paragraphs only have two supports.
This template works best for PERSUASIVE ESSAYS. It can be used with tweaking for comparative essays, but I don’t recommend it because it’s specifically designed to cater to the persuasive essay rubric

Here’s an example of the template in use for a body paragraph. This was, in fact, one of my old high school essays, I just pulled up the old document. The thesis was that there are no heroes in Hamlet.
STEM writing advice
Ok so this could probably work for a lot of writing, but the only writing I've done in years is scientific papers, so I don't wanna lay untrue claims. Anyways, here we go!!!
Don't just put in a quote. Unpack it. By that, I mean explain the contents of the quote and then how it relates to your topic. For example, let's say you're writing about the sky and use the following quote: "the sky gets its color due to the reflection of light". Your followup sentence should explain this, looking something like: the blue color therefore is a result of this reflection in the atmosphere. It both helps explain the quote and its relevance. This is very important for supporting evidence for a claim.
Titles are hard!!!! I recommend writing your intro and discussion before deciding on one. This way you can pull a summary phrase from one to use for a title!
Download or save all your sources!!!! Trust me trying to find them panicking at 2am is no fun.
When compiling resources, make an annotated bibliography
WRITE ON YOUR SOURCES GOD DAMN IT!!!!! I don't know why this belief that you shouldn't write in books or on papers or anything is so prevalent. But fuck it. Trust me you want to write on them! It will save you so much time when you're looking for that once super specific, amazing, perfect quote you read.
Before you proofread, do not touch your paper for at least a day. Don't even think about it. You're too attached. After 24 hours of absence you'll be able to go "wow that really sucks what was I thinking?"
If you hit a block, just word vomit. Just write down anything and everything.
Or start with your evidence or quotes and build from there.
Use something like [zz] for missing information. That's what I use and it allows me to search the document for that to find where I'm missing something whether it's a citation, an explanation, a data point, whatever.
You don't have to write the sections in order. Write your methods first and your intro last. It doesn't matter at all.
It helps having someone else proofread your paper, but if no one can, Google translate or any read aloud service is amazing
Stuck on an idea? Talk about it to someone or something. I use my ferret. I'll just sit there and be like ok this is what my data is and this is the analysis from it, but how do I explain its relevance?? Like sure it shows this but what about this? And then eventually I figure it out. Bartenders are also great for this
If you don't like working at a library, make yourself a spot at home that's just for writing with no distractions. Yes, even that plant will get you away from your paper, trust me.
Get you a nice, soft pillow to bang your head against.
Learn to do calculations in excel and run analysis in a statistical software like R which is free to use!
If you want to access an article without paying, email the authors! A lot of time they'll send you the paper!
Keep track of ALL vocab. Any niche terms might have to be defined, so keeping a list with definitions/explanations is very helpful.
Make a folder with subfolders. Keeping things organized will save you so much time I promise. Put drafts in one folder, papers in another, lists in another, etc.
Save! Always save! Even better: set up autosave to occur every like 10 minutes.
Early mornings and/or late nights are gonna be your thing now I promise.
If your eyes start feeling strained or your head starts hurting, take a break! Trust me, once you start writing in what I like to call the "goo stage" (where you're starting to get foggy and tired, rubbing your eyes, stretching your back, etc) your work quality is gonna go way down. Get up, stretch, drink some water, take a walk, whatever.
Get a stress ball or something. Especially for running data analysis. Things get very frustrating.
Set up a news alert for your topic. It can help you find real world applications for your discussion as well as maybe find you a super recent publication!

MIT engineers have developed a magnetically steerable, thread-like robot that can actively glide through narrow, winding pathways, such as the labrynthine vasculature of the brain.
In this new paper, the researchers combined their work in hydrogels and in magnetic actuation, to produce a magnetically steerable, hydrogel-coated robotic thread, or guidewire, which they were able to make thin enough to magnetically guide through a life-size silicone replica of the brain’s blood vessels.
The core of the robotic thread is made from nickel-titanium alloy, or “nitinol,” a material that is both bendy and springy. Unlike a clothes hanger, which would retain its shape when bent, a nitinol wire would return to its original shape, giving it more flexibility in winding through tight, tortuous vessels. The team coated the wire’s core in a rubbery paste, or ink, which they embedded throughout with magnetic particles.
Finally, they used a chemical process they developed previously, to coat and bond the magnetic covering with hydrogel — a material that does not affect the responsiveness of the underlying magnetic particles and yet provides the wire with a smooth, friction-free, biocompatible surface.
They demonstrated the robotic thread’s precision and activation by using a large magnet, much like the strings of a marionette, to steer the thread through an obstacle course of small rings, reminiscent of a thread working its way through the eye of a needle.
The researchers also tested the thread in a life-size silicone replica of the brain’s major blood vessels, including clots and aneurysms, modeled after the CT scans of an actual patient’s brain. The team filled the silicone vessels with a liquid simulating the viscosity of blood, then manually manipulated a large magnet around the model to steer the robot through the vessels’ winding, narrow paths.
Engineers at MIT and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have designed a heat engine with no moving parts. Their new demonstrations show that it converts heat to electricity with over 40 percent efficiency – a performance better than that of traditional steam turbines.
The heat engine is a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell, similar to a solar panel’s photovoltaic cells, that passively captures high-energy photons from a white-hot heat source and converts them into electricity. The team’s design can generate electricity from a heat source of between 1,900 to 2,400 degrees Celsius, or up to about 4,300 degrees Fahrenheit.
The researchers plan to incorporate the TPV cell into a grid-scale thermal battery. The system would absorb excess energy from renewable sources such as the sun and store that energy in heavily insulated banks of hot graphite. When the energy is needed, such as on overcast days, TPV cells would convert the heat into electricity, and dispatch the energy to a power grid.
With the new TPV cell, the team has now successfully demonstrated the main parts of the system in separate, small-scale experiments. They are working to integrate the parts to demonstrate a fully operational system. From there, they hope to scale up the system to replace fossil-fuel-driven power plants and enable a fully decarbonized power grid, supplied entirely by renewable energy.

I believe someone already mentioned this, but we know that Lil Nas X survived the snap because Shaun and Katy are singing Old Town road in a bar in Shang-Chi. But I’d like to point out just how close these two events were, (the release of Old Town Road and the snap).
In spring of 2018, Thanos snapped and wiped out half of all life.
In October of 2018, Lil Nas X started recording the original Old Town Road, but he found the instrumental even earlier.
The song released on December 3rd, and later re-released with Billy Ray Cyrus on April 5th, 2019.
So, essentially, in a matter of months:
*half of all life is destroyed, governments are in ruins, world consumed with chaos*
Meanwhile Lil Nas X:

the fact that marc takes every same step steven takes before sleeping to ensure he knows when he's been awake when gets home before the shift, like cleaning the blood, changing clothes, putting the tape on the door, the sand around the bed (unless he carefully steps over it when he leaves which cool), and chaining himself to the bed again is hilarious cause like, dude's a mercenary yet he cannot let poor shop gift-ist steven realise his body is out there in the world, god knows where, every night, sometimes for a couple days, fighting the leader of a cult and his minions to try and stop them from murdering people and all in the name of khonshu, an egyptian god
it's hilarious and i love it
« For many, including myself, mathematics is comforting. In an era of fake news, worldwide illness, and economic uncertainty, mathematics provides proof of another reality which is harmonious, universal, and eternal. Or so it would seem.
In fact mathematics, like all literature, is none of these things. Mathematics is, of course, a human artefact. It is a language which consists of a vocabulary, a grammar, and a community which employs these enthusiastically. Arguably, mathematics is the most refined language ever produced.
[…] The practical […] usefulness of the work of mathematicians does not concern them. Even a brief exposure to number theory, for example, is sufficient to convince most outside the mathematical community (or even outside the community of number theorists) that the things mathematicians are concerned about are essentially trivial. The strange and often captivating relationships among numbers are simply alien to practical experience. The non-mathematician can only ask ‘Why bother?’.
And the answer to this question must be the same as it is to the issue of literature in general. There is no reason for mathematics other than itself. Mathematics is a form of highly refined, esoteric poetry. Its form and subject matter is not to everyone’s taste. But neither is the Iliad, or The Wasteland, or Finnegans Wake. It takes considerable linguistic skill and aesthetic fortitude to comprehend the content of mathematical poetry. Success in such an endeavour is, as usual, its own reward. »
— From a review of Reuben Hersh’s What is Mathematics, Really?
I can only describe my internal states, feelings and moods well enough via graphs and equations. I literally think in visualized math: patterns, statistics, probabilities, wave functions, interference patterns. They are good tools to store very much data while requiring so few memory capacity as you can extract a majority of details from that 'big picture'.
So yes, math is a very useful and efficient tool of expression and cognitive processing.

What are your thoughts on this?
Interestingly Richard Fenyman remarked the occurence of the Fibonacci sequence and the 'golden angle' (primary part of the fine structure constant) in his work on quantum mechanics. And according to my information progression stuff, yes it wouldn't surprise me that this elementary principle of 'self-replication" might be one of the fundamental underlying patterns.
This is a plain idea I head: dividing the Fibonacci numbers: Larger Fib. number/smaller Fib. number (like 3/2 or 8/5) results in a damped wave alterating around large PHI (1.618...) and smaller number/larger number (like 2/3 or 5/8) results in a damped wave around small phi (0.618...) in the pic I just combined them in a strange axes system - and it's fun to imagine what would happen if you cause torsion and skews upon that visualized model:
Interestingly, the Fibonacci numbers also exist in a certain interference-diffraction pattern/fourier transform, Fraunhofer diffraction to be more concrete.
Made a post about that some days ago(or was it weeks already?): (Although the stretched x-axis is not really required)
In concrete, these describe position probabilities of superposed/entangled elementary particles. It is the pattern recognized in the double slit experiement.
Secondly, as the standard distribution also has connections to the concept of Pascal's triangle, in which the pattern of the fibonacci numbers are also omni-present, this would hint even more on the fundamentality of this logical sequence. But what is it concretely interpreted? In a different approach of interpretation, the Fibonacci sequence can be ragarded as a simple replication sequence, of continuing certain progression patterns, somewhat, yes it sounds silly: "Past+Present=Future, and Present=Past+more previous past", although it is far too simplified if taken literally. In a very rough pattern, this might be correct. But the exact details are generated by that same process just interacting with uncountable similar parallel versions of it (these are what i regarded as butterfly clones in my thesis)- chaos theorists might call them "feedback loops", and you can imagine it as a ball of uncountable worms knotting each other...

Math that is art, and art that is math
For me, drawing 3D plots has something really calming. Although the results have uncountable imperfections, the insight-gaining effect of drawing such illustrations is the most satisfying of all aspects. Makes one see the ratios and connections of the depicted plot's underlying patterns from a different perspective.
So the first pic is a deptiction of the plot below, relating to the Fibonacci sequence.
What is this fuckery?
It might describe 'feedback loops" and self-interference patterns of a regression in dynamical information geometry; a set of information transforms.
The neat aspect is that if you expand the "outside frame" (the overall shell with the varying diameters), then neat 'coincidences' happen: the expanded 'virtual lines' often end or cross exactly at points at the "shell"...
I will play with finding loop sequences, as it's really thrilling.
Furtherly, it might also make sense to describe momentum and position of elementary particles depicting them as "progression of a dynamical information geometry". Plus the conceptions regarding relativistic aspects is in parallel 'production', and interestingly, although I didn't intend to put both aspects of my current work (this one and the relativity conception) together, they are each other's interesting addition. Someahat they "weave each other"... These thought processes are somewhat like the two perfectly symmetric, yet antithetic 'loops' of the first picture here. And it is like, so neat! The chaos literally sorts itself.
About proofs
March 18, 2022
I prepared some sources, mainly books, to study proofs in depth. It's funny how they hardly ever teach how to prove in high school. Only students of physical-mathematical areas or those who are oriented to some engineering learn that kind of thing, and they only learn a single technique (yup, induction). I went to review the secondary education plans in my country, and most of the time the word "mathematical proof" appeared in the documents, it was preceded by "without any". The only case mathematical proofs was part of that plan, it was in a concrete math subject made only for engineers.
Kevin Houston's methods seems like a good place to get a first perspective. I will OBVIOUSLY review Hammack's Book of Proof as well, and possibly compare methods to make sure I understand it.
I think I have nothing else to say. Without this, I'm basically lost for practically all the lectures. At the end of the day, I hope to at least prove that if x is an odd integer, then x^3 is odd. Yeah, that's how bad the situation is.
A weird idea of a möbius strip in a complex plane - a somewhat looping sequence in a vague interpretation.
A big part of ADHD (and Graves' disease, which can give similar symptoms) is feeling like it's your fault somehow.
That if you did just try harder or put "more effort in", you'd somehow stop struggling.
There can be times where you're at the absolute end of your rope, emotionally and physically exhausted, and you'll still feel like pushing yourself because you "could" be productive right now.
I'm here to tell you to STOP. When you reach those moments, do not suffer in an attempt to get more work done - let's be honest, if you're in that state, the work you do isn't going to reflect your capability anyway.
Right now, you might feel like "productivity" is defined by working or studying or something similar.
This is a lie. Right now, productivity is defined by self-care. Don't try to push the exhaustion aside, even if there are deadlines on the horizon. Right now, focus on keeping YOU healthy enough that you don't end up breaking down. If you've already broken down, now's the time to stop it from happening again.
Drink some cold water, and eat some food. This does NOT have to involve cooking either! Have a microwave meal. Eat cereal out of a mug or a glass. Don't have the executive function available to make a sandwich? Eat the ham slices and bread by themselves.
Can't find the energy to wash up, but you need dishes? Rinse a dish with boiled water. No, it's not the same, but it'll do for now, just for the moment.
The washing up and the cleaning and the deadlines and the stress can WAIT.
Productivity isn't just stuff that affects other people. It's also doing stuff that helps YOU.
You won't be able to properly do the other stuff if your body and mind are shutting down.
things i did as a neurodivergent person to get straight a’s for the third year in a row
hi hello hi how’s it going. welcome to the 3am-burst-of-motivation-tumblr-post-of-the-day, where i’m sharing all of my study tips that allowed my adhd/austism/ocd/bpd brain to somehow squeeze out straight a’s for the third year (sixth semester) in a row.
1. study differently for different subjects. contrary to popular belief, flashcards and rewriting your notes does not work for every subject (unless it does for you, in which case ignore me and do what works for you). different subjects, at least for me, require different environments, techniques, and associations.
2. association! sensory stuff works great for me because i tend to associate physical things with emotions and even personality types, so have something be constant every time you study. example: i have two tubes of chapstick, one peppermint and one pomegranate. i put on the peppermint one right before i go to bed and the pomegranate one after i eat breakfast - i associate the different scents with different activities (going to bed and starting my to-do list).
3. to-do lists! mine are written on sticky notes and stuck to my mirror because i hate hate hate having the sticky glue stuff from sticky notes on my mirror and i’m not allowed to clean my mirror until all the sticky notes are off of it. when i can’t see my mirror, they’re on the outside of my backpack because they’re bright pink and the social anxiety makes me think people are staring at me if they are on my backpack.
4. change your location often. specifically for my adhd peeps who have the attention span of an overexcited puppy, walk around. do things. go to a park or a coffee shop or a grocery store or a sidewalk or a bench somewhere or my personal favorite, the bank. when you’re understimulated go somewhere with lots of different noises and when you’re overstimulated so somewhere quiet or control noises (listen to music, noise-cancelling headphones, humming).
5. keep a piece of paper next to you for the Random Thoughts That Come at Inconvenient Times and write down the stuff you want to look up/do/tell someone about and like… i don’t even know why that helps but it does. just having your thoughts out there i guess?
6. body doubling. find a person who will study with you. bonus points if it’s another neurodivergent person. they are depending on you to finish the studying and get the good grade. THEY ARE DEPENDING ON YOU. DON’T DISAPPOINT THEM. (side note anxiety people i would not recommend this for you)
7. go to a place that will remind you to pee and eat and drink things. starbucks is great for this. so are most restaurants.
8. get a new thing to study with every week. i like new things. if i have a new thing i am going to use it until it’s no longer exciting. i get a pencil, just a boring, manual pencil from the drugstore every monday afternoon for like sixty cents. it’s a fantastic method, at least for me.
9. don’t drink something with caffeine in it while studying. you will either fall asleep or end up on a roof. it is not a good situation. caffeine for neurodivergents is like sleep pills, for me at least and most of the other ND’s i’ve met. if not for you, you’re lucky.
10. spaced reps. in other words, find a big pair of dice and write vocab terms on each side, then hurl it at the ground and define each term. do this for like an hour. it’s fun and gets a lot of energy out.
11. stim. vocal stims, physical stims, self-talk, fidget, yelp, squeal, tap your foot, walk around, shrug your shoulders, twitch your nose, jump up and down, ribbit like a frog. stim, stim, stim. it helps.
anyways. it’s 3:17 am. happy studying!
reblogging to save lives
adhd “get shit done” hacks i’ve found so far
1. the Event
have something scheduled for the day, be it a class, club meeting, shift at work, going to a friend’s, whatever. you must get shit done before the Event. i’ve also done it where the event is my roommates coming home, and I tell them to ask me what i did so i feel like I have to do shit. get creative.
2. exist in a space in which you can easily hyper-focus
pretty obvious, go to a cafe, library, friend’s house, whatever works for you, and do your thing. also! cleaning your house can really help with motivation and focusing, so that too.
3. “multitask”
this one took me a while to figure out. make your brain think you are “multitasking” so getting stuff done is less difficult. ie put the laundry in, meanwhile do the dishes, wipe the counters, vacuum. or put it one of those microwave meals in the oven instead, then you have a reward waiting for you after an hour of studying. for some reason, getting tasks done as a pastime until something else is done makes it way easier to do them

my childhood in one picture
Inej comes from a people who have no physical home, who are constantly relocating. And so home for them is the people they surround themselves with. Their family, their loved ones.
Kaz has been birthed in Ketterdam and is a personification of the city itself. When Inej tells him she's not done with Ketterdam, it's understood that the unspoken meaning is that she isn't done with Kaz himself. But what's more important is that when she refers to Ketterdam as her home she's speaking about Kaz specifically. He's her true home.
As is traditional amongst the Suli people, her restless soul calls her to roam the earth, to travel far and wide, to always keep moving. But her heart will always call her back to her true home in Ketterdam. To the boy that is the beating heart of the city. To Kaz.
Kaz is Inej's home. Inej is Kaz's family.
