Finals and test anxiety

It's that's wonder time of year again where all of the college students are stressed out beyond their wildest dreams. And why is that? Because it is finals season of course! I don't know one student that doesn't loath finals. They stress you out to the point of no return. Then they are over, just like that. Like notching every happened. Except lots can happen: grades go up, grades go down, students pass a class because of them, students don't pass a class because of them. They are pure hell. In my opinion I think that finals should be optional. That should be used for raising grades. Not lowering them. Some students do gray in all the class work and the quizzes but when it comes to test they bomb them and that's not fair. Test anxiety is a real thing. People could know it all and take a test and flunk it. It is not fair. They probably studied harder than the kids that get A's on the tests but it won't matter because grades are how lots of teachers view you and if you ge a bad grade, well to them it's like you didn't try or even study. That's not fair. So who is with me to make finals optional? Why can't we do this? :)Let me know what you thin! :) have a great night everyone and good luck on your finals! :)

College and Finals... BLEH! (the finals not college)

College can be one of the best times of your life. You meet a lot of your friends that you will have for the rest of your life. That roommate that was once a stranger is now your best friend, that cute boy that you noticed on the first day of class is your new boyfriend and things just get keep getting better from there. You'll now have tens of hundreds of new friends and friend requests. You'll have new followers on Twitter and Instagram that will actually like your posts because they like you and not because they feel obligated. Those people you never thought you would talk to because you thought you were invisible are now your good friends. You have your friends in your snapchats and not just your pets or family. And right now you probably have Snapchat streaks that go on for days on end. You can go to games and not have to worry if you'll be there by yourself. Things do get better in college you just have to put yourself out there even if you are not a people person or are just shy. These people will be your life long friends I guarantee it. There is a chance you may lose friends throughout college too but that's ok you have hundreds more you can make. Plus you are young and you don't need people in your life that don't need you! And if you ever want to make friends go to a party people there are usually really nice or drunk or both but it makes them fun. Have fun and just let your guard down, you'll never know what will happen!

As for finals, they are just a test. Yes they are big tests, but if you are willing to put in the time and study you will do just fine. If you stress while taking tests or have test anxiety here are some tips from the professional at stressing over tests because of test anxiety.

TIPS:
1. Study little bits at a time. If you have several subjects study little bits of each so you don't feel overwhelmed
2. Take a break ever 30-35 minutes to have a snack and make sure you are drinking lots of water.
3. Listen to music so you can zone out everything around you, I would suggest classical just because its been proven to help people concentrate better because there are no words.
4. Have a study buddy, they can help you stay focused.
5. Relax during the test and if you need to don't think of it as a test.
&6. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE STUDYING!!!

Christmas, Christmas Presents and Gift Ideas

It's the most stressful time of the year. Haha tricked you, you thought it was going to be the song, well you were wrong. Ok people let's get serious. Jokes LOL when have any of my post been super serious. Christmas should not be a time you are stressing out worrying about presents (or gifts, whatever you prefer to call them). This is going to sound like a broken record to most of you but this is the time of year that you need to be sending with the ones you love: friends, family, boyfriends, girlfriends, best friends, friends with benefits, who cares I don't judge. Just be happy with the people you want to be with and who make you happiest. Spread the love and spread the joy of the season. Some people don't get to experience this, so be happy you are lucky enough too. I want to go on by talking about presents. People can he hard to shop for so for so down below I will list of moms, dads sisters, ect and some ideas they might enjoy!
FOR:
Moms- You can never go wring with SCARVES. They are comfy, warm and fashionable. Most moms love them.
Dads- Dads love TOOLS and if you don't know what brand they want get them a GIFT CARD and make sure to specify it is for TOOLS only.
Sisters- No matter what age you can never go wrong with NAIL POLISH girls love it and any color will work. If you know their favorite color (or colors) get those.
Brothers- Boys like HUNTING and FISHING gear so this is acceptable for any age,
Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, & Uncles- I recommend RESTAURANT gift cards. They are simple and easy and everyone loves food.
Cousins - ITUNES gif cards these are east to find everywhere. Also TARGET and online shopping places are good places to get gift cards for them as well.
Girlfriends- Men you do not need to spend a million dollars on your girl. I would suggest a cute NECKLACE or BRACELET or even maybe a ring but not something that needs to breaks the bank, just show her you care. Also you could get her, her favorite CANDY and even some FLOWERS. And men this may sounds cheese but make homemade card and give it to her. She will love it guaranteed.
Boyfriends- Girls it may seem like shopping for a guy is impossible, but you can do it! If he likes to HUNT or FISH get him hunting and/or fishing gear. Make him a homemade card and be creative. If you don't know what kind of fishing or hunting gear he likes get him a GIFT CARD.

Hope this helps some of y'all feel less stressed about shopping and gives you a little help on what you could buy! Have a gray night see you all tomorrow!

getting over a break up (that was a long time ago, that you thought you were over but it still bugs you)

So there is always going to be that boy or girl that will tug at the heart strings no matter how much you convince yourself you are over them. You'll see a post on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and so on and so forth that will kill you a little inside. That's ok, things like that will happen to anyone, you are not alone. This could even happen to you if you are in a new relationship now and know you love the other person. These things happen, you were in that relationship with that person before for a reason and there were feelings for them. The feeling might have gone away but you will always care for them, it's natural. But you are not alone, it happens to the best of us. I bet you're wondering what you can do to get over it. Well in my honest opinion you should just try not to think about that person, if something reminds you of it, get rid of it or put it something so you don't see it. If you are friends with the guy or girl on Facebook or Instagram just unfollow them or unfriend them. It might bother you for a while but you will eventually get over it and won't be reminded of them because you won't be able to see their post, pictures, ect. So my philosophy is the less you see of them, the less you'll think about them, and the faster it will all go away. And if you are in a relationship when this is happening remember you are with that person for a reason. If you didn't like or love them you wouldn't be with them. They have also probably gone through the same thing so if you're comfortable enough with them, talk to them about it. I can almost guarantee they will understand. You'll make it through this, you've got this, you can do this!

Starting over :)

Starting over. There seems to be a lot of starting over these days. Friends, family, relationships, and jobs all seem to come and go. This either happens on its own or you can do it for yourself. Starting over is never a bad thing. In fact for a lot of (or most) people it's a rather good thing. If you do not like something than change it. This is your life that you are living for you, no one else. If you want to be happy make yourself happy, regardless of others say. If they are not happy for you, you don't need them in your life. Make yourself happy before anyone else. This is your life not theirs. They should be happy your happy. So here's my advise for you: if your friends suck and are not being good friends, kick their butts to the curb and get some new ones. If your family is being awful get away from them and move, if the really care they would make an effort. If you are miserable in a relationship, dump his or her butt and move on. It may sting for a while and hurt but you will move on to bigger and better things and hopefully with time find the right person for you. And if your job sucks, here's a secret for you, there are many more jobs out there, do what makes you happy and get a job you love not loath.  SO as you can see starting over is an option and if you want to and or need to, do it! I believe in you and support you! You can do it! Yay you! :)  

Bullying

Bully: someone who used superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.

Please enjoy my rant. Growing up I was a victim of bullying from the 4th up until I was a senior in high school, so I know how these poor kids feel. When i see thah someone is getting bullied (especially a child) it breaks my heart. Most children get bullied and they don't even know why. What makes me sick is when the an adult goes fo help a child and the school does nothing about it. This is not ok. Are we going to sit by and let a child go through this. This children get bullied and they don't want to go to school so they fall behind. Some get depressed and commit suicide because of being bullied. Some kids are punished because they miss school because of a bully. These kids should not the punished because of what the bully is doing to them causing them to miss school. The schools need to take action and punish the bullies and put a stop to this. Most schools don't even do anything until a victim of bullying has harmed themselves it has committed suicide. This is not when the problem should be taken care of the problem should have been taken care of long ago, right when the problem started. That bully should not have the satisfaction of thinking they got away with this. They need to be punished for what they did. There are kids that go through this everyday. Bullying will not go away unless we do something about it. Let's take a stand and do what's right. We need to help the victims of bullying and let's them know we are here for them and we will not stand for this. Rant over.

Dogs... Are better than people

Most people would agree that dogs are some of the best companions out there. I would have to agree. Dogs are so loyal and helpful. They can also make you laugh and happy. The great and amazing things about dogs are that they can tell when you are sad or happy. If you are having a good day they can tell by the tone of your voice and that you are happy and that makes them happy. If you are sad most dogs will come to you to be petted or even snuggle up with you and that is an amazing feeling. So much love from one creature. I have always loved the quote, "Be the person your dog thinks you are". This to me is beautiful. Just think. How much better the world would be if people acted the way they did with their dogs to other humans. I think it would be so close to a perfect world. So what do you think? Are dogs better than people? Let me know! I would love to get y'alls feedback so feel free to comment below! :)

Why Can't I Sleep?

It's the age old question. Why can't I sleep? This seems to happen the most when you are tired. You try your hardest but you just can fall asleep. So what do you do now? You play on your, phone, iPad or computer hoping that you'll fall asleep. For some of us this works. Yay! For others it doesn't. Nay.. But we can't lose hope! We should remember a few things: 1. We will eventually fall asleep (and if that doesn't happen I'm sorry, that kinda sucks for you. Maybe try some NiQuil?) 2. I should not be playing with anything electronic and bright. Even with the brightness turned down, play on these devices makes your brain stimulated and keeps you awake even longer. Here is what i suggest: read a book, it does not have the bright lights and it will help you fall sleep. Something else i suggest is coloring, even if you are an adult there are adult coloring books and this can help you wind down and get you mind off of things. I just want to add on to that when you have  lot on you mind that doesn't help you fall asleep, so anything that gets you mind off what you are thinking about will help. The last thing I want to suggest is Googling breathing techniques to help you fall asleep, they really do help. I have tried all of these and they really seem to help. Have a great night y'all!

Friends? & One-sided friendships

So today I came to the realization that one sided friendsips are a real thing and can happen at any place and anytime. Today I got a new Instagram account because my old one was full of fake accounts and I just had a lot of crap I didn't want to see anymore. As anyone would do I added, well followed all my so called "friends". To my surprise a lot of them had private accounts. Mine was private too but I still followed them and thought for sure they would follow me back. I guess not because barely any did. I thought to myself that this was strange, but what can you do, you can't make them follow you back so you just have to deal with it. This hurt me at first but when I really thought about it they were never really the best of friends and I could probably survive. You do not need people in your life that make you upset or do not need you just remember that.

Now my next rant is about one-sided friendship. It is the typical friendship where one friend is was nicer or does way more for a friendship. They go above a beyond for the other person. The other friends typically doesn't care as much and takes advantage of the other person. My advice: GET RID OF THEM!!! These types of friends are not ones you need in your life. They will bring you down and make you feel bad when they don't give you the attention you deserve. Have friends that give you the attention you deserve and treat you the way you treat them. Make tousled happy and get rid of your toxic friend. It may hurt in the beginning and you may be sad for a while, but in the end you will be happier! :)

things to do today?

Why can't we ever find things to do during the day and why do most people want to hangout at night? We can but I feel like most people just want to relax during the day (Self included) which is kind of strange because didn't we just sleep all night? Well I guess that's just an  unknown and we are going to have to deal with it. I think more people are becoming night owls though because that's when they are finally awake and finally have the energy it's like in my previous post we never actually want to go to bed but when we do we never want to get up. What do you think?

Sleeping Habbits...hmmmm

Why can't we sleep? We can but we just have too much on our minds most of the time. I, for example, should be sleeping but hey I'm wide awake talking to all of you! Don't get me wrong you all are awesome but shouldn't we all be sleeping? I find it funny how we all don't ever want to go to bed at night, but the next morning we don't want to get up. The bed is so comfy and warm in the morning but at night its all cold and hard and we would just rather not, you know? hmmmm. What are your thoughts people of cyber space? Let me know because I'm still trying to figure it out! And wait, what about naps? Ahhh naps. :)

Break ups

Why can't we just break up with someone? We can, we tell ourselves that we can't because we are afraid of what will happen to us and what the other person will do. We are are afraid that if this happens that nothing will ever make us happy again. But shouldn't we be happy that we did something we wanted? Well the answer is YES, duh, if we want to be happy we have to make ourselves happy and not worry about what others want. This is all YOU kid, you can do it!
