CREATING AESTHETIC DIGITAL NOTES YOU’LL NEVER REVISIT.
Follow for more relatable insights into the student journey.
We’ve all been there. That intense, almost obsessive drive to perfect our digital notes. From intricate Notion setups to hyper-linked PDFs and custom-coded templates, we poured hours into making them look impeccable. Choosing the perfect font, the ideal color palette, ensuring every heading was just so. It felt productive, a tangible act of organization amidst the chaos of demanding coursework and endless readings. We told ourselves these meticulously crafted files would be our saviors during exams, our ultimate study guides.
Yet, here’s the unvarnished truth: how many of those perfectly aesthetic digital masterpieces did we ever truly revisit? More often than not, the real learning happened in the process of creation – the synthesizing, the organizing, the wrestling with complex ideas. Once "perfected," those notes often became digital artifacts, untouched and admired only in theory. This ritual wasn’t just about learning; it was a symptom of the unique pressure cooker environment. It was a quest for control, a visual manifestation of our ambition, perhaps even a brief reprieve from the overwhelming academic load that sometimes led to those quieter moments of existential dread in the library’s hushed corners. It’s part of the shared narrative, a quirky yet common thread among us.
Remember those days? The hours spent perfecting something that was, in hindsight, largely performative? It’s okay. We all did it. It shaped us in unexpected ways.
