usefulness of khan academy

 7/26/2017

 during my junior year of high school, I was introduced to a phenomenal learning program called khan academy by a counselor of mine. i’m pretty sure most students have heard of it since it’s been around for ten years, but i’m not convinced about if it’s widely known of how useful khan acdemy is. beyond its surface subjects, you can find lessons for tons of subjects and tests (and it’s free!) 

the novelties  

math: includes collegiate level mathematics like multivariable calculus, differential equations, & linear algebra 

science: cosmology & astronomy includes cosmo & astro and a little bit of environmental science & geology 

science: health & medicine is great for an anatomy & physiology class, and the NCLEX-RN is also amazing for an anatomy class- great pair

science: electrical engineering is great for an intro to elec engineering 

science: organic chem - speaks for itself

computing: learn how to code, program, and animate

grammar: I’m currently using the grammar section to prep for  ACT English. great if you need to brush up on grammar rules! 

econ: Macro, micro, & finance!   

SAT: obviously can be used for SAT prep, but also for ACT prep! types of questions might be different but it’s great for practice in the  ACT Math content areas- pre-algebra, elementary & intermediate algebra, trig, and plane & coordinate geometry 

MCAT: I personally believe that the MCAT section on  khan academy is a juggernaut- huge amount of resources in this test prep- review of bio, chem, and physics, has psychology & sociology lessons available, i used the MCAT section to understand positive and negative reinforcement and punishment in psych.

there’s also separate sections for AP Physics 1&2, AP Bio, AP Chem, AP US History and info on entrepreneurship! just remember that khan acdemy is not for in depth studying in most subject areas, it’s great for general or supplemental notes! i hope this helps someone! happy studying! :)

🏳️‍🌈okay as part of my pride month celebrations i’ve put together a list of ~most~ of the primarily lgbt+ films/television i’ve seen (as i’m pretty sure i’ll have missed a couple).

please bear in mind that these are purely my opinions and i am renowned for having terrible opinions. (also, many of these films i saw a little while ago and may have changed my mind about!) don’t let anything in this list dissuade you if these are some of your favourite films! you are more than entitled to your own views on these films, and it’s super important to recognise that ALL of them have had an important impact on lgbt+ cinema over the last century.

i just made this list for anyone who wants some good lgbt+ film recommendations and doesn’t have time/energy/lack of social life enough to watch all of them :) i mean no offence by any of this!!

feel free to send me more to add!! 🏳️‍🌈

for reference: (gd) stands for ‘gay death’, just a visual reminder of the ‘killing the gays trope’ in film and tv

some playlists i’ve curated

when you want to be slutty but catholicism has repressed your sexuality (okay YEAH half of it is hozier and sufjan stevens, is anyone surprised?)

i’m sad and i need to fucking cry because i’ve been repressing my emotions my entire life 

i’m so emotionally drained and i need a breath of fresh air. all about that healing, luv 

i’m dealing with a toxic breakup and BOY OH BOY do i need to process it

the perfect playlist to slow-dance to in an open, empty field

i don’t regret loving you, but wow do i ever fucking miss you. you are my musical leitmotif; everything reminds me of you… of us.

I’M SO AFRAID OF COMMITMENT 

summer fling turned sour (it’s entirely in french, though)

i miss you and i promise i won’t ever forget you. (basically if shakespeare’s sonnet no. 55 was ever made into a playlist)

feelin’ absolutely BUCK-WILD tonight! the sun is gone, it’s pitch black, and all i want to do is scream in exhilaration! wow, i’m really feeling that night-time rush. is this how teens in movies feel?

a comprehensive wlw playlist featuring soft, yearning emotions, to anger, to sadness… truly an entire spectrum

Bad Bitch Bangerz

i’m gay and i’m in love with my roommate, but he’s sending me mixed signals and i don’t know what to do (truly any mlm who’s loved a confusing boy will be able to relate to it)

imagine how things could have been if we were still together and i didn’t run away

bitch, i’m a CRAB

things are changing and i’m alright with that

is it simply that the stresses and strains of a long-distance relationship are taking their toll?

I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!!!!!!

stuck in a painting 

they’re best listened to in order since i’m a nerd and i like it when my playlists make sense, sonically and in terms of narrative. also every image in my spotify were all taken by me! (yes, i have rainbow finger hands,,,,,,)
