Surviving The Semester- School Hacks!

Hi babies, it's the beginning of a new semester so I thought I'd throw out some tips on how to survive this last semester. These tips are not categorized in any way, so some may help socially while others may be beneficial academically. It just depends on whatever order I think of making the list, lol.

Okay, here we go...

1) So, in order to want to succeed in school, or anything really, you must have some kind of motivation. By a certain time in the semester, determination seems to be completely lost. If you are having this problem, I recommend you reading, watching or listening to speeches to help. There are tons of apps, pages and YouTube videos for this and after the results may be effective in helping your ambition. Trust me this makes a difference, I do this when I get lazy with work.

Some of my favorites are;
-Daily Quote ( App)
- Pep Talk Motivation (App)
- Oprah's Life Class
- STOP WASTING TIME https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3FA2kALScU (Video Series)

2. Actually pay attention in class. This may sound cliché but it really helps. I've come to the conclusion that paying attention in class sometimes allows you to skip studying and helps you become more comfortable with the material, if you paid attention to your teacher teaching.

3. Invest in an agenda or a book for writing down assignments and due days. This one is self explanatory.

4. Stay ORGANIZED, I can't stress this enough. Organization allows you to keep up with work and what needs to be done.

5. Use Quizlet & Khan Academy. Quizlet is really helpful when trying to retain information fast. Yeah, regular flash cards are cool too, but face it your phone is always right by your side, might as well flip through a set for a minute or two. Now Khan Academy is useful when you need to understand and practice a whole lesson, or if you're really convinced your teacher can't teach and need to resort to the internet.

6. For each class, create a class survival group, yea, that's what we'll call it. Start with a group chat and do what you gotta do from there. #OnePassWeAllPass !

7. Stay on your teachers good side. Be on time & speak when you see them, results will pay off.

8. Chocolate &peppermint help stimulate the brain (Most def not together tho).

9. Stay away from drama, it ain't nothing but a setback.

10. Take notes in color ... I hear its scientifically effective & I believe so also.

2018- Why I Think I Started Wrong (An Update).

So listen, avoid what I did at any cost necessary. Looking back at my previous blog posts from earlier in the year, I was most definitely more determined and more productive. At this point I don’t know if it’s just the end of the semester or if I'm really just being lazy. I do know one thing for sure, school is kicking my A$#. Then again I'm sure I'm not the only one, so I shouldn’t be complaining right. So now that you all are caught up (sorta), we can get into more relevant, interesting topics. As of now it is only April. If you are anything like me and have gotten side tracked and lazy along the way , it is always time to get up and recover . Everything depends on you , just remember every set back has a comeback and all pain doesn’t last forever , I promise ❤️. Now this blog wouldn’t be a blog if I didn’t throw my usual tips in every post, so I’m not going to get too detailed, but these are ways to avoid the mistakes I think I’ve made this year and also just some ...

Kanye West's New Jewelry Collection

It is no secret that celebrity Kanye West has also taken the role of fashion designer, creating unique and well sculpted pieces. His Yeezy fashion line is now doing its best. West's line got great ratings and enthusiastic recommendations for his “Calabasas-theme” season 5 collection this previous fashion week. Yeezy sneakers are still so desired, only a few can get their hands on a pair. And the sneakers are currently being resold for as much as 3 grand. Growing his fashion empire, he has recently expanded with a new addition to Yeezy mania — a jewelry collection. “I wanted to create something that represented timeless love,” told West . He gave more detail to his first jewelry collection, a line of all gold rings and heavy chain pendants. Of course, this means the pieces must be tested and modeled by fiancé, Kim Kardashian West , who picked them off the Yeezy Season 4 runway and has been caught styling them secretly in various ou...

How to Have a Productive & Positive Year- A Guide To Mastering 2018

HEEEY GUYS, This is my first post of 2018 so I've decided to write something related to the new years and goal/resolution setting and what not. So here I have you, a guide on how to stay productive and positive this year. First, one may ask why is it important to be productive ? (I'm assuming the positivity part was already common sense to everybody... hopefully) From experience, I can say tuning out negativity and unnecessary drama becomes quite easy when you're busy bettering yourself or working towards your goals. Keeping yourself productive always makes neglecting bs simpler. (A valuable life tip there, you're welcome <3). ALRIGGGGHT, let's speak (or type, whichever is best for you) some stuff into existence. This year we will be selfish with our time. If you spent time running around or chasing people who never bothered to check on you, stop it. This is the year to stop. If you wasted time on ungrateful people in 2017, STOP, stop it now. We...
