High School frustrations:Exams

Hello lovely little number readers! yes, I am back again. I have been studying a lot for my AP History mid-term exam(yes, I know seems smart right? not really, just requires more writing and analyzing.) The exam is tomorrow at lunch, I'm so very nervous!

    Studying for exams requires a lot of focus and dedication(both of which I do not have, I get distracted very easily) Not only do we have to worry about maintaining a good grade in class by doing work we also have to do tests that see what we have learned through out the class program. Studying can be very hard to do especially when you leave it for last minute(not recommended!!!) Procrastination is the main cause of low marks(and of course not understanding what is going on, go see a teacher and get help.) When I study there are a few things I do. Want to get a little inside my study routine? no? Oh well I'll still tell you =D

 -I get food and maybe a drink, something fast like crackers or toast(don't want to take time out of studying just to make food) and for a drink it's usually water(with ice and lemon wedge for me) or milk, quenches thirst longer than something like juice and pop.
-Set things out with priority; identify what it is you are stuck on or iffy and start looking at it first, and take notes!! physically writing things down does help a lot, there's a connection to your brain with it. Then try to explain some things to people, saying it out loud will also aid you in remembering(trust me in works)
-Once you are comfortable enough  with the slightly unknown move on to what you do know just to get more comfortable with it. Read more up on it, see if there's additional information you never knew. Just like the slightly unknown repeat the facts in writing and vocal.
-Remember to take breaks though! If you study too much you wouldn't have accomplished much. All of the information you just hammered into your brain will disappear when the exam comes. This is because you worry too much and the information goes poof because you are thinking of all the negative.
-Play some instrumental music, like Bach and Beethoven and so on. The music helps you concentrate more, probably because there is no lyrics distracting you. I also listen to Ed Sheeran but that's because he's a ginger God :)
That's all I do, my breaks are probably 45 minutes then I get back to work, I think I study for 1-3 hours. But that again is just me, you can adjust the timing to your preferences as long as it gets done =P . Some fun facts I learned are; wearing a white lab coat to an exam will increase your result, probably because smart people wear the lab coats and it just tells your brain to do better. Also if you write down your worries right before an exam you'll do much better! I'm going to try the writing down my worries tomorrow, but not the lab coat. It would be interesting to go to school with a lab coat, but there are a lot snobs at my school and they won't acknowledge my creativity hahah!
Anyways, I must go now, time to study again wooooooo. blah. Anyways, good luck to all of you!

Tah tah for now xx

Creativity and Individuality

My friends and family would say that I am a creative individual, as well as unique. I dress my own way, I do things how I want and I don't let the negative comments get to me, most of the time.

The other day at school I was walking to my lock and a girl had said indirectly to me " I don't see why people would dress differently, like you aren't going to start a f**king fashion statement." This brought me to think about how people's attitudes towards individuality and personal interest is more negative. One can not simply express themselves or dress how they want. Our styles, attitudes and actions are more than ever affected by media and our peers. I dress differently because I embrace my different side, I'm not afraid to go against everyone else's fashion. I would rather look different and be my own person rather than follow some fashion trends and be the same as everyone else. There is no characteristic when fashion trends are followed, sure there will be some people who try to make it their own, but it ends up looking like everyone else. When I go buy clothes and accessories I try think about how I can Ange-fy it, and if I can maybe do something different with it. The thing about being different though, you need to have the confidence to do it, because there can be people who won't accept it. Being different isn't bad, even if there are people who don't accept your individuality. You just need to remember that you are you, and there isn't anyone who is like you. Look for people who love you individuality and accept there love, ignore those who try to push you down. When you are down there will be someone at some point in your life that will help you back up again :)

Well I would believe this is all I have to write about right now. I do apologize for the lack of a steady posting time. I have been busy with grad stuff and just being lazy. crazy life I live ;)

tah tah for now lovelies :)xx

Introduction

Hello there!
I'm Angeline, but you may call me Ang :) I have created this blog because I want to try and be known out there for my writing. I am planing on attending post secondary school for media, preferably broadcasting industry or publicist.
I will be using this site to write about anything I feel like, it won't have a sense of theme or anything. I will try to write about anything with the news and updates about what goes on in the media. It can range from politics, celebrities, or just random news updates I hear and feel like writing about.
I am not too sure how much I will be writing because I will be trying to figure things out for my school, I am in grade 12 currently trying to graduate and balance my life out. 
Also in the blogging field I will be trying to set up a vlog on YouTube for fashion because I do have a sense of fashion that I make my own. But these dreams I will have to try my best to commit to.
In the mean time I have to stick with doing my homework, letting my dog out, sleeping and spending time with friends and family.
my next blog thing i guess will be just a little blurb about me then I will get to some blog-things! anywho, i must be going now so i bid thee good night! 
tah tah for now :)
