10 steps on how to survive another year of school.

1. It’ll get tough. Really fucking tough. You already knew that. But that’s life, accept it. Put away the books for an hour, drink some tea, cuddle your pets, stare at the ceiling, watch some Youtube videos, and then finish your homework. 2. There will be a lot of days where you wanna quit or can’t get out of bed. Don’t call in sick and don’t drop out. You can do this, you can survive this year like all the others. 3. Enjoy learning new things. Knowledge is power, knowledge is sexy. 4. Don’t pay attention to others, you are here for you, nobody really pays attention to others anyway. 5. Be nice to teachers and help fellow students. Kindness makes life so much easier. 6. ASK...

My Life Objective: To Learn

okay so, I know the typical, “We don’t go to school to learn nowadays, we just go to pass” and all that sad truth stuff.  But honestly? I don’t feel that way. Well there are really brief moments where I think, “Is this really enough?Is this worth all the suffering?” but I’ll be immediately like, “what the hell?”  I’m able to learn this stuff? Free knowledge so I can like? Be able to throw random facts? and I think it’s really useful when youre sad or when youre having an existential crisis. Because knowledge about the little stuff about the world makes it more interesting?  *trigger warning: suicide* Let’s say, I wanna kill myself? I think, why? and waste all...

Creative Writing Assessment for school.

In this assessment, we had to choose a random news report and write a story on it, or at least that’s what we did for the practice, but the teacher told me to submit the practice writing and I had almost two months to just sleep in class while everyone else wrote their creative writing assessment. This assessment ended up getting me an E8 (Excellence level 8), which is the highest grade in New Zealand schooling, so I got an A+. Here it is. “Oh god, I should not be doing this. I should NOT be doing this. If my parents could see me now, they would be so disappointed.” The man whispered to himself,hands shaking from a mixture of the cold air and his own fear as he pulls his...

My Views On: Education 💫

In my opinion going to school and developing a good education is a big step towards a good future. I view education as something that can open many doors for you in the future and can give you advantages aswell. I see school as a small sacrifice of time that could benefit you in the long run. But don’t get me wrong I do find school differcult at times and very stressful but I strongly believe that dropping out is definitely not a option for me. When I think of dropping out I just think of all the disadvantages I would be giving myself, of course this is only my personal belief and may not actually apply to others. School may be hard and annoying at times but I’d never stop going. My...

Study

Hey everyone - I’ve been a bit inactive lately because I’m currently in year 11 and have a lot of homework and study! Just giving you an update to let you know I’m not dead even though sometimes it feels like stuDYING. Here’s a few tips on how to study effectively and ace your exam :) 1. Do practise questions - this is the most effective way of studying because you can simulate the test and see what you WOULD HAVE got wrong.  2. Don’t review stuff you already know - if you know it, you know it! There’s no point studying stuff you already know.  3. Get someone to test you/teach them - then you can’t cheat by looking at your notes. You also develop a better understanding...
