If Only Studying Was As Easy As Singing A Song


Oh boy, studying. It's funny how when you're approaching a new semester and you're all excited about studying and finally having something to do, but then all of a sudden when the time comes you suddenly find yourself having to a dozen other things and well that poor books get neglected and then exams are fast approaching like a sudden thunderstorm and the next thing you know, you don't even want to hear the word studying because your head feels like its going to explode. Whew. Deep breath in, deep breath out.

Yup, that's studying for you. Oh should I rephrase?

It's more like not studying and then dealing with the pressure of those actions.

I'd like to think of myself as good at studying but then when actually writing the paper, suddenly all the information flies over my head. I'm sure there was a time for you when you're sitting with your pen raised to attack that question but then the next thing you know, you suddenly can't find the words or it's on the tip of your tongue. Oh, the nightmares. Actually, it's every students nightmare when you suddenly can't remember your work.

Here's some helpful tips for when that dreadful time is approaching:

  • Prepare in advance

  • Make sure to make a lot of notes

  • Take well timed breaks

  • Avoid all distractions but do focus on one goal (other than getting all As) to keep you motivated
  • Revise all notes before writing

  • Take a chill once a day before the exam period because stress can be your worst nightmare


Remember, if you do fail, it's okay. No one is going to chop your head off. Yes, you're going to feel like it's the end of the world and you're the worst person and all those other devilish thoughts but forget all of those. Why, because there is always a second chance. And if you do pass everything, yay to you. Celebrate and jump for joy! Bask in the glory of the feeling of winning by passing. You've done well. Consider this a pat on the back.

All Things Hair

You know that feeling when you're looking at an advert and you see this woman with the most gorgeous, soft hair and you think, wow so if I use that product my hair is going to look exactly like that. And then you go ahead and spend loads of money on all these products and guess what? Your hair is still the same frizzy mess as when you first started off. Now, where's the hope in that? No matter how much I try, my hair is still one heck of a mess. I so, so wish my hair could look amazing and soft but nope, it just goes ahead and does its own thing. Who gave you permission, hair. Certainly not me.  It's funny how no matter what you do, what you use and how much you try, things just don't happen the way you expect them to. That's reality, I guess. Sometimes expectations are far off from reality. But still, I keep on trying.  Another funny thing is how every single person praises this certain hair straightener and when I go out and buy it and it's my f...

Movie Experience

Is it really better to have any excitement and expectations for a movie or simply have no at all? On one hand, being excited makes you all riled up and ready to take the movie on while on the latter, you're saving yourself from all the disappointment in case the movie down right sucks. Yes, being excited for a movie has its perks but then again not being excited has its own perks too. The question now is what do we do about it. I'm guessing the right and most reasonable solution to the problem would be too have a little excitement and very little expectations. The funny thing is sometimes our brains and bodies does the complete opposite of what we want. Although the feeling of being excited and having loads of excitement which then turns to be completely right is quite a good feeling. But then again, the opposite makes you think, what the hell am I watching. Sometimes it's like a lucky packet. You can't really predict how a movie is going to be until you watch it...
