tips for school!!

Since I am from singapore we use primay and secondary school instead of elementary and high school and this year I'm in secondary 2 despite the fact that I am actually 15. It's sort of my important year because based on my results this year i will be choosing the subjects that I am going to take next year so. I SHALL NOT GO TOO DEEP ABOUT IT BECAUSE I AM SURE YOU WILL GET BORED AND FALL ASLEEP. Anyways, few days ago i saw videos on "back to school tips" thus i decided to blog some tips for studying, beauty and facing bullies! SO LET'S GET STARTED ☻

STUDYING TIPS✓

1. Use/Get a planner!!! 

I have no idea how someone survive without one LIKE HOW DO YOU REMEMBER SO MANY THINGS??? I forget everything by the time i reach home. You can use the planner that your school gives you (if they do) or get one on your own just like me because the one my school gives is shit so.

 This is the one i use and i got it from Paper Stone. I'm sure you'll be able to find other cute planners at other shops! ☻

2. Complete your homeworks and submit them on time.

I know we all get lazy to complete them but just try and to finish them so that your teacher is able to mark it and return to you this way you'll be able to know if you got any mistakes or not and that way you can learn!

3. Organize your things.

This way your things won't be in a mess and you won't lose your notes and worksheets. You'll also be able to find whatever you want easily.

4. Write your own notes.

Don't rely on the notes that your teachers give you, write it down in your own words. This way it would be easier for you to understand about the topic and you can easily memorize it.

5. Ask questions!

Don't be shy and afraid if you don't understand something besides we are all humans so we aren't perfect. Just raise your hand and ask the teacher or you can always see the teacher after the class and ask him/her about the things you're not sure of. This way you won't have any doubts before the exams.

6. Study with a few of your friends.

Studying in a groups can be a good motivation for you to actually study and you guys can also teach one another. However, do chose the people to study with carefully because you don't want to end up spending hours talking instead of getting your work done.

7. Take breaks!

Don't sit on your chair for hours because this way studying would seem even worse then it already is. So take breaks in between and do what you like. Try creating a study routine.

8. Eat 'brain' food.

While studying we tend to have a bag of chips of can of soda next to us. Instead eat healthy food that helps you concentrate better and keeps you energized! Some examples would be like walnuts, low-fat/non-fat yogurt, berries, almonds and fish. This way you would also not gain weight.

9. Use different colored markers and pens.

If you're the type who can study notes better when it's filled with different colors then use as many colors as you can and decorate your notes. This way you will not only remember your notes better but also enjoy writing them ☻ ( this might not be the same for everyone though )

HOWEVER, not all these tips works for everyone. Everyone is different thus i would say try things out and see what suits you the best and stick to it. ☻

BEAUTY TIPS✓

1. Drink lots of water!

I know you've read this everywhere but water is amazing and it really works if you keep drinking it. It not only helps in weight loss but it also helps your face to look brighter and clearer. You will see less pimples appearing this way you can not worry about your acne so much while being stressed with exams!

 SO DRINK UP ☻

2. Try and exfoliate your skin once a week.

We go out almost everyday and we sweat. Especially after playing sports. This causes dead skin thus try and use a face wash that helps to exfoliate your skin!! Don't overdo it though because you might end up having dry skin so use it at least once a week. 

 This is the one that i use, you can get it from any body shop outlets! ☻

TIPS WHEN IT COMES TO FACING BULLIES✓

1. IGNORE WHATEVER THEY'RE SAYING.

People may call you fat, ugly or even a slut. So instead of listening to them and crying, ignore them. Just because they call you that doesn't mean you are that. Prove to them that they are wrong. Besides you should know yourself better than them. 

2. Tell someone.

If you can't take it, tell someone about it. Don't keep it to yourself because things might get worse. It is okay to get help. Go talk it out to your friends or your teacher. Even better tell your parents, they would be happy to help you.

3. Believe in yourself.

People might want to bring you down due to jealousy or whatever reason. Don't fall for it. Stay strong and always remember to think positive. ☻

These are some tips that I can think off and i may not always be right but I'm just trying to help and most of the things that i listed out are based from my own experiences to be honest. HAPPY SCHOOL YEAR.

WHAT YOU SHOULD NEVER MAKE ME DO ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

New year which also means the start of a brand new year in school. WHY UGH. I started school on 2nd January and of course it was bullshit. First day of school was annoying and boring. Anyways on my way back home i decided to blog about the things that should never be done by the teachers and parents. So i shall start listing out the things instead of telling you guys more about my stupid school.

THE THINGS TEACHERS SHOULDN'T DO:

1. DO NOT give long talks (this goes to the principal as well)

After months of not waking up early i have to wake up at 5 in the morning and come to school and see the people that i hate so i would really appreciate if you didn't give LONG boring talks.

2. DO NOT nag at us about life or studies or any other crap.

The more you nag the more i hate school and you. So take my advice and shut up please. It's the first day of school so maybe you should have fun activities for us to do?????

THE THINGS PARENTS SHOULDN'T DO:

1. DO NOT make me have tuition on the first day of school please.

Come on, i come home from a place a hate and all i want to do is sleep, eat, read and do whatever i like. And i assure you studying isn't something that i like. Besides it's not like my exams are coming up in few weeks so don't kill me.

2. DO NOT nag at me and then get pissed at me when i shout back.

I can't handle one teacher nagging at me so don't make me go through another round of nagging by someone else. I don't want to spend my whole day by listening to people nagging at me. Thank you.

These are the things that i hate with a passion and guess what? It happened to me on my first day of school so my day was ruined. But at least my second day of school was better ☻ i still can't believe my two months of holidays passed extremely fast and now i am back to school. Really hope this year turns out better compared to last year. And this year is important for me so i have to study hard and not daydream during classes. 

I hope you guys had a better first day of school though because mine was just....no comments. Hope that your school year goes well and that you guys survive school!!!! I know it might be hard BUT YOU CAN DO IT I KNOW YOU CAN.  ☻☻☻
