I hope I give off the vibe to all animals that I am their ally and friend

When to use flash cards: memorizing words/vocab, numbers, equations, names, dates, and verbatim facts or lines.

When to use mnemonic devices: memorizing steps of a process or sets of facts/information/people, especially in an order.

When to use concept maps or drawings: learning (rather than memorizing) relationships, processes, concepts, systems, etc.

When to use tables or charts: learning or memorizing systems (eg. conjugation in a foreign language), sets of sets of information (eg. people and when they lived and what they did), and other large/complex groups of information.

When to use songs: for learning or memorizing anything.

Disclaimer: this is a general guideline. If something else works for you, do it!

Here we go again 2018 ready or not here I come :)

10 years, 10 goals

I was tagged by @crumpetofcuriosity !!! Thank you!!!

List 10 goals you have for the next 10 years, write it down or save it somewhere you can find it again, then tag 10 people.

To be happy with where I am. Hardly anyone knows if where they are is the right place, I want to understand that.

Be confident!!! I have come so far and have loved to watch my confidence grow. I can’t wait to see where it has gotten to in 10 years.

To be working hard. As long as I am showing some serious effort, I can be satisfied. 

To still be learning Latin, because truth is, I am nowhere near where I want to be. Hopefully, ten years is a good time span to improve…

To befriend more people!!! I have made so many new people in the past few months and it has made me such a better person. I want to continue.

To read more. I have just started reading more and finding time to read, so I hope I continue that.

To make changes where changes are necessary. A lot of people don’t quite believe in quitting, but I think sometimes quitting is healthy. Sometimes, we give things our all, but they are doing us more harm than good. Some changes are necessary.

To take risks!! Some risks are good and can teach us important lessons. Risks don’t have to always be scary and huge. Some are beneficial.

To laugh at myself more. I take things wayyy too seriously and I hope to change that.

To stop procrastinating. I have literally had this in my drafts foorreevveerr, so I hope to get things done when I can, rather than just when I feel like it.

I can’t think of ten people to tag, but I encourage everyone to try this out! It really helps to put things in perspective, even though ten years seems like a really long time.
