Idk if you babes know this, but simply just creating anything that makes you happy, being excited about the field of study you love, or engaging with each other and content in a mindful, compassionate way is how you make a meaningful contribution to this community. There are literally no other requirements.
You have something to offer, even if it’s just one thing from this list (and I know for a fact every single one of you makes this list).
Hi, it’s werelivingarts. I’ve been creating contents about academic life, but I realize that I leave out many students who are having ADHD that can make studying very challenging. I’m a no expert in this field, but I’ve been researching some tips that ADHD students find useful. Therefore, I really hope that some of the tips can help you to make studying less boring and easier! ❤️
Remember: Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re being silly, or lazy, or fussing over nothing. They are trying to apply rules that work for standard brains. You don’t need to explain anything, it is nobody’s business but yours. Don’t let anybody shame you or push you around. All you need to do is smile and say, “Well, it works for me.” 💙💜💻
P/s: If you have any useful tips, please share them below!

Here is a masterpost of MOOCs (massive open online courses) that are available, archived, or starting soon. I think they will help those that like to learn with a teacher or with videos. You can always check the audit course or no certificate option so that you can learn for free.
every minute spent on planning saves you ten minutes spent on execution. short essays probably don’t require that much preparation beforehand, but if you’re writing something longer you should probably spend some time planning first. this is the process i go through when planning my essays, and i find it works really well!
On this day; September 30th, 15 years ago, 12-year-old Palestinian boy Muhammad al-Durrah was shot to death in his father’s arms by Israeli troops.
It was the second day of the Second Intifada, the father and son were caught in a cross fire and hid behind a concrete cylinder. For 45 minutes Jamal al-Durrah shielded his son from Israeli fire as several bullets narrowly missed them. He desperately waved and shouted: “Don’t shoot!” but to no avail.
Muhammad al-Durrah was shot four times and eventually slumped across his father’s legs, who was also shot and lost consciousness.
An ambulance driver tried to rescue the boy and his father but the driver was also killed, along with a jeep driver, and a second ambulance driver was wounded. Muhammad and his father laid bleeding for at least 17 minutes before an ambulance was able to pick them up.
We will never forget.
Seeing this the first time stopped my heart. This was 20 years ago. What has changed until now?
