Survive This World With Me

1. You Are The Choices You Make 

2.You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. 

3. Millions of people can believe in you and yet, none of that matters if you don't believe in yourself. 

4. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. 

5. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

6. Happiness is found when you stop comparing yourself to other people.

7. Before you talk, listen. Before you act, think. Before you quit, try. 

8. A short run is better than no run at all. 

9. It always seems impossible until it is done.

10. Do not watch the clock. Do what it does. Keep going. 

Hi guys! Again, I'm sorry that this is late. My weekends are usually super packed so for now on, if I don't post on Sunday, I'll probably have one on Monday or on Tuesday. Now, let's get on with this week's topic.

1. The Internet Holds A Lot Of Useful Information 

We have so much data on the internet and some of it can be be useful. Google itself uses 850 TB (1 TB = 1 024 GB). That's a lot of information so why not use it while we're in school? For example: if you need a definition but don't have a dictionary with you, you can just search it up online. Or if you need to translate a word, just go on google translate (although google translate can be quite useless sometimes). Just remember to use trustworthy sources. Wikipedia is NOT a trustworthy source. It can give you basic information but don't take it too seriously. Anyone can just write ridiculous stuff on the page.  PS: Google scholar can help you write essays.

2. Students Can Have Access To Textbooks That Are Constantly Updated

3. It's Good For The Environment

4. Students Will Be More Interested In Class

That's it for today! I hope that you liked this post. This is the last week of the month which means that the school theme is over. Next week, or should I say next month, I'll be back with a new fresh theme and great articles.

Have a nice week guys!

Before I begin, I just want to say that I'm sorry for not posting this yesterday. It hasn't even been a month that I've had this blog and I'm already not posting on my regular day. Anyway, now that I've done that, let's get on with this week's post.

Sometimes, I question myself about school. Is it really important or is it just a waste of time? I'm sure that I'm not the only one who asked this question. I did my research and I realized that school is actually essential. Here are 5 reasons why.

1. Without Education, Society Would Not Progress

2. School Teaches Life Skills

4. You Learn About The Past

5. Education Means A Happier Life

I know that studying can be hard. Sometimes, it's just really difficult to concentrate and you can't seem to get any information inside your head. But don't fret! Maya's here to help you study better.

Know Your Learning Style

For Visual Learners

Use Index And Flash Cards

Use Highlighters A Lot

Make The Study Area More Appealing

Let's face it, for visual learners, if the study area looks bland, then you won't really want to study. Make your information eye catching and use pictures. This will help you visualize things inside your head. 

For Auditory Learners

Study With A Friend

Record Yourself Reading The Information

Use Flash Cards

For Tactile Learners

Move Around While You Study

Take Frequent Breaks

Ah, high school... It can be great, it can be adequate and it can absolutely horrible. I don't want you guys to be living a dreadful 4 years of your life so I'm going to share with you a few do's and don'ts of high school.

Do Pay Attention In Class

I know you've heard this a lot all your life, but it's true.  If you don't pay in class, then it's as if you weren't even there in the first place. Plus, most of the time, everything that your teacher says will be on the test. If you have a hard time paying attention, try looking at the teacher while she talks or take notes. Participating in class can also help.

Do Make Friends

Do Learn Stuff Outside Of School

Do Study Even If You Don't Have A Test

Studying everyday even if it's just for 30 minutes is very important. Sometimes, you forget things you learned in class and you need a little reminder. It would also be a great chance for you to ask your teacher questions if you don't understand something. You can even invite your friends over a couple of times and make if fun!

Don't Date

You can do whatever you want, but I would advise you not to date. First of all, dating is a huge time commitment and you probably won't have enough time for it. Plus, there's a low chance that your high school sweetheart will become something serious since usually at our age, we don't really know what love is. We just experience infatuation.

Don't Get Caught Up In Drama

High schoolers are hungry for drama. I guess that it's a way for us to stay entertained at school. However, it can hurt your friends and other people if they find out that you started a rumour or if you passed it on. Drama is very tiring so don't hangout with people who love it.

Don't Care Too Much About Being Popular

I hope that this doesn't contradict what I said about making friends. I think that in high school, we should make friends without trying too hard on being popular. After all, you're at school to learn so that you can make it somewhere in life. Plus, in a few years, most of the people you met at school won't be important in your life.

 

Don't Drop Out Of School

I know sometimes it can be very hard to come to school every day but don't drop out. Without education, you can't really get a decent paying job. No matter how much you hate school, just remember that you are an important person and it would be horrible if you don't get a full education.



I hope that you guys liked this post. Remember that this month, my theme is school. If you liked this, then tune in at my post next Sunday for something simular.
