How I Make My Stomach Stop Growling - Ana Tip #2

1) Take appetite suppressants! That could be diet soda, tea, coffee or just water.

2) Breathe with my stomach rapidly for like 15 seconds. Make sure your tummy is going in and out, instead of your chest going up and down.

3) If you’re lying down; don’t lay on your back! instead, lay on your side. When you lay on your back, your stomach sinks downwards and looks thinner, but for me, it also makes my stomach growl.

Get to know your own body, and find out what works for you!

STAY SAFE

the way that becoming pregnant and giving birth to living children is framed as like an extremely important thing for women to accomplish and an ability that should be preserved in any way possible when considering medical treatment for women is honestly one of the most sinister forms of misogyny in medicine. the way women with debilitating endometriosis aren’t offered hysterectomies/oophorectomies because they might want to have children some day. even though it’s the only way to permanently relieve the chronic excruciating pain that condition causes. the way women with PCOS just have to deal with it, and the way PCOS treatment is framed in a way to preserve/foster fertility rather than to treat the horrible chronic symptoms it causes. the way my happily childless 30 year old sister was diagnosed with stage three lymphoma (a type of blood cancer) and was actually given the option to delay her treatment by months so they could harvest an egg from her so that she could still have a child by IVF if she recovered. a delay which would have almost certainly cost her her life at that point. the fact that her doctor told her to take a few days to think about it and consult with her husband before deciding against the delay and getting on with the chemo that would make her infertile and save her life. that something like that was even offered to her, knowing that they could not afford to delay treatment, i always wonder how many other vulnerable women in her position may have actually chosen to delay and subsequently died in the name of a non-existent offspring.

yes medicine has improved and in developed countries pregnancy and childbirth isn’t as much of a death sentence as it was 100 years ago, but the attitudes towards women’s bodies and their value being measured by their ability to reproduce hasn’t gone anywhere at all - and it still influences the actions of doctors, their decisions for treatment, their priorities, and in that way these attitudes continue to affect women’s health and life expectancies. this is a uniquely complicated reality for trans men who are excluded from discussions of birth control/pregnancy/PCOS/endemitriosis et al, and trans women who are devalued by their inability to become pregnant and have bio children. its a Lot.

ESSAY WRITING 101: HOW TO GET A FIRST/A* IN ANY ESSAY

I’ve been preparing to start my masters after a one-year break from academia, so I’m a little apprehensive about getting into essay writing again. I found a great resource on my University’s website, giving a universal guide to writing a First Class essay. If you’re about to start your first year at uni, want a refresher, or are taking essay-based classes at your high school, this is the post for you!

C O M P R E H E N S I O N

Use a wide range of relevant sources, well understood and fully appreciated.

What do I need to do?

Read beyond the recommended reading given to you or the textbook in class. Can you explain what you’ve read to someone who isn’t studying your course - if not, do you really understand it?   

C R I T I Q U E

Ability to set sources and view points in context and evaluate contributions. Methodological awareness and theoretical appreciation.

What do I need to do?

I posted here about the WHAT-HOW-WHY paragraph structure. The critique is your WHY. WHY is the source written in that way? What was the context of the time or geographical location where it was written? Can either have impacted the writing? What are the limitations to the source - have they avoided discussing something that you believe vital to their argument? Critical thinking is the key to obtaining the highest marks in an essay.

A N A L Y S I S

Excellent answer to the question. Locates suitable concepts and makes a comprehensive assessment of issues involved. Understands the relevant theories and applies them to answering the question.

What do I need to do?

Answer the question. It seems silly but answer the question. What are you actually being asked to talk about, and are there any limiting factors (e.g. a specific time period)? Make sure that everything you’re saying is relevant to the question. If you’re anything like me, going off on a tangent is second nature. A good tip is to read your essay aloud to yourself - if you can sense you’re waffling on about something, then cut it out. 

P R E S E N T A T I O N

Well structured and planned. Clear, articulate style (good spelling, grammar, and syntax.) Proper referencing and bibliography. Confident presentation and appropriate length.

What do I need to do?

Plan plan plan. I never really understood the importance of proper essay planning before I got to University, but it really cannot be emphasised enough. Try and plan in a cyclical sense, taking a thematic approach to your writing and ensuring your main thesis argument is clear throughout your writing. It can be good to break one large essay into 2 or 3 smaller ones, but make sure that they are well connected and don’t read in a disjointed manner. Linking your introduction and conclusion can be an excellent way to ensure that your essay reads fluidly. Another top tip for writing a conclusion is to point your reader to further reading in the area you’re writing about - this helps to place your work as part of the academic conversation on the topic.

Back To School Shopping List.

I know that shopping for back to school can be challenging, only for the reason why you just want to buy everything in the store😂😂…even though you won’t use half of them😑…Sooo here’s my BTS list with all of my essentials that may help you do less damage (damage that will probably destroy your wallet😬).Okay let’s begin.

Back To School Shopping List.

• Classic Notebooks (remember that you don’t have to spend 5$ only for cute notebooks, just buy classic ones; after all they are not that bad) • Pencil case (Basic Black One) • Bag (Basic Black One) • Pens (3 Blue,3 Black,1 Red,1 Green) • Pencils (2 basic ones) • Correction Tape • Highlighters (MUST!!!) • Binder (Basic Black One) • Agenda (For this you can choose your own,based on your style but I just bought a black one) • Folder (MUST!!) • Earphones (I know this isn’t necessary but, I always need a pair of these whenever I’m at school; when you’re waiting for the bus or just have a free period you might feel the need to listen to music or watch a YouTube video or something) • Lip balm (I don’t know about you guys but my lips always get dry during winter or fall so I always need one * KORRES Natural Care Sweet Almond *)

REMEMBER: You don’t have to spend much money in order to have cute school supplies.Your backpack can still be tumblr even if your budget is low just buy classic (EVERYTHING) you will be surprised by how tumblr can this turn out.

Hey guys! Here’s some advice for writing that rhetorical analysis essay on the ap lang/comp exam in a few weeks:

intro paragraph: 

This should only be 3-4 sentences long. Don’t spend too much time on it! Make sure you cover the SOAPS. 

This is how I like to do it:

speaker, occasion, subject (1 sentence)

purpose (1 sentence)

audience (1 sentence)

thesis (1 sentence)

Your thesis should tell what you’re proving about the effects of the author’s techniques– it shouldn’t straight up list the techniques you’re discussing! Also, your thesis will ideally be a complex-compound sentence, which means it will have at least one dependent clause and two independent clauses. That makes your writing more sophisticated! 

Here’s an example thesis (that I wrote for an analysis of a single paragraph):

“As Martin Luther King Jr.’s ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail’ addresses the criticism of his actions and defends his methods, his twenty-third paragraph declares his complaints against the intransigence of the white moderate, defining the white moderate’s innate complacency as the single greatest obstacle in the Negro pursuit towards freedom.”

body paragraph:

There should be 2-4 body paragraphs, depending on the length of the passage. Remember: go with the flow of the text, and don’t force yourself to write exactly 3 body paragraphs. 

The paragraphs should be organized chronologically through the text, not by technique! This means sectioning the text by paragraph (1, 2, 3) or breaking it into parts (beginning/ middle/ end), depending on the format of the passage. 

My body paragraphs generally follow this structure:

topic sentence- briefly describe what the paragraph is about. use transition words to identify the segment of the text you’re talking about 

2-3 CSAs (basically examples)

claim: your position on the use of a rhetorical strategy

support: the quote, summary, or paraphrase of the text

analysis: explain how the strategy enhances the meaning and purpose of the text

synthesis to tie together the examples and state how they work together

closing sentence

Limit yourself to 2 strategies per paragraph to keep your essay focused. When writing under time constraints, I tend to be able to provide 2 examples of one strategy and 1 example of a second strategy, per paragraph, but that’s not a hard and fast rule.

conclusion paragraph:

Make this short and relevant. You’ll still have one more essay to go after this!

restate your thesis using different wording (1 sentence)

call to action, reflection, or extension (2-3 sentences)- it can be any of the following:

ask readers to evaluate the message of the piece

ask readers to agree with writer’s purpose

ask readers to examine how message is pertinent in modern-day

ask readers to reflect on the appropriateness of the piece in modern-day

another closing idea
