Don't think that!! Meet new people!! Make friends!!

I can tell you want one so Pm me anytime I'll be there. Just like I am for anyone.
Soon your "Friends" will see you can move on they might crawl back. It happened with Me but I don't like her so I refused. If you need to vent just pm me!

I already quit, and trust me I've tried to make friends, but nobody will hang out (I've asked multiple times), I'm NOT annoying, and I try to be the best I can- I'm nice, friendly etc.

Trust me I'll be your friend!! Never be afraid to PM me!

Get info on flashcards! Stick notes in your room and when you get board studing you might look up and you can read them instead!

I can actually maybe provide some suggestions on this ;u;

for me, strategies for last minute studying vary by subject, because some thing notes work well for and some
things you just need to visualize more.

Generally, the time you spend on it is crucial. I do my cram sessions in 20-30 minute sessions with 10-15 minute
breaks. Always drink water and have healthy filling snacks out so you can refuel if you need too. Don't burn
yourself out, always take the breaks. I don't usually listen to music, but if you chose too make sure it has no words
and is quiet in the background, preferably not in ear buds unless you're in an area where you have to have headphones.

If it's math or number related, try to write any formulas you know that you will need from memory,
then go back and see how close you were. Keep doing this until they are second nature to you. Math
related stuff is more about basic functions that build off each other, so knowing the small stuff can help
you tackle big stuff. Charge/locate a calculator if you need one, and just review your notes on specific things.

If it's science or history or any subject where you need to remember specific facts, I suggest retaking concise
notes. Ignore what you've previously written and go through carefully but fairly quickly and bullet point the
stuff or information you know you'll need to know. Then go back and read over your old notes and compare them
to the next ones to see if you are missing any information, and also to reinforce the ideas. Make sure you look
at any study guides if you were given any, since those are good ways to guide your study. Making flashcards might
be a bit late at this point, but perhaps try looking for online flashcards on sites like Quizlet. Otherwise, quiz
yourself. Write a description/question on one side while you take notes and the answer on the other. When you
finish a section, cover the answers side and see how many you can get right.

If it's English/language related, cramming will be harder. If it's a book you need to look at, highlights specific
page numbers in your notes that stick out to you, and make sure you understand the full concept/theme of the
book. Plan generic quotes if you need to write an essay, and make sure they are quotes that can relate to many
different prompts. Skim any sections you weren't sure on, or study any key terms that you need to know. If it's a
foreign language, I highly suggest having someone quiz you, reading the word in your mother language and asking
you for the language you're trying to learn. Then switch it around.

Ahhh I don't think I missed any subjects? Let me know if I can offer any more help to you, good luck!

So I need to decide by next week if I really want to test out of physiology.
I know I won't get an A if I do, but I think I'd get a pretty solid b.
The only thing it would do at this point is hurt my GPA and only minimally. Let's be honest no one is ever going look at my physio grade and care, I'd take a C if I had to.

I don't know that I can handle my dipstick of a professor anymore (I've only had two classes, and she already hates me, but that's okay because the feeling is mutual) I will never understand why they split anatomy and physiology into two separate classes now. For what I need physio by its self is such a waste of time.

I want out. But I know my history with the school systems, and if I try to do anything out of the norm it will bite me in the butt. I can't afford to have to retake it if something stupid were to happen.

My mom just yelled at me for wanting to eat chocolate covered pretzels, because I am on a diet (which is 100% my choice) I know if I deprive myself of food I enjoy I will give up, so I asked her if I could have a few. Bad idea. She said that I never eat healthy. (I ate spinach and okra yesterday) and said that I eat too many carbs, which is true, but it really isn't her place. If we had healthy food in the house that I enjoyed, I would eat it, but bananas are too high in calories and give me mouth sores, and apples hurt my teeth. I have asked for spinach, grapes, cucumbers, yogurt, all sorts of things, but they are 'too expensive'. But she buys all sorts of sweets, and then won't let us eat them until they go bad. I just don't understand... Sorry for the long aimless rant. I am just frustrated.

grr im happy? kinda? i did some research and found out that most colleges dont look at freshman year of high school and only look at junior/senior and community service gahhh??

i basically have two questions about this-
a] if i dont do so well during freshman year, but then get straight A's on all of the other years, will that freshman year have a severe impact on my GPA?
b] what are the most important thing that colleges look at? what do they like best? [ex- community service, etc]

thank you ^U^
i have promised my self that i will try my very hardest next quarter, wish me luck grr!

I honestly just really don't like my situation currently. I'm tied of living with my parents, but I'm still way too young and broke to be independent. I hate living with other people; there's always somebody somewhere, no doors are to be locked, constant questioning and yelling. I'm just tired of it. I'm going to hopefully get a job soon, but I don't know when I can move out. Not for a few years at least. And I'm barely allowed to go anywhere on my own, either from having no means to get there by myself, not having any cash, or just not being allowed. Sorry, just a rant because I'm tired and angry.

I found this website it might help if your trying to lose weight. http://calorieneedscalculator.com/
It's for calculating how many calories you need to take. There's other information too, on how you would gain or lose weight, and how this calorie thing works. I really don't have the problem, I'm trying to maintain my weight, and stay healthy. I run, but because of the weather I realized that I was dropping in my weight. (wonderful ) But, I tend to like to try new foods. There are actually pretty cool fruits and vegetables that you may want to try. I have an obsession with dragon fruit. You should also try to buy a blender, I love smoothies, maybe that would help on your diet. I tend to see smoothies make me feel full for some reason. But I wouldn't feel to ashamed if I ate some candy or chocolate whatsoever once in a while. I always do it, and somehow I see I'm losing weight, which I really don't want to do. Don't feel to ashamed of your weight or anything, the best tip for losing weight is to be happy with yourself.
(want any more tips pm me, I'm a health freak just because I love healthy foods, I've always been this way)
And don't worry I have parents that are the same way as yours.

Hey everybody! I just wanted to say that if you are looking for somebody to
talk/vent/rant/etc to, feel free to PM me. I´ll always be here with open arms
and ready to read/listen. I hope that everybody has an absolutely amazing
day because you´re seriously worth it!

Below, I am going to be putting short and hopefully helpful advice/ things to
think about on specific topics. If you apply to any in the list that I am going
to create, then continue to read on until you get to your section.

Here is the list:

• Feeling down for ¨no reason¨/ cannot cope with the past
• Having trouble in school (education)
• Having trouble in school (social)
• Absolutely done with society and can only think about the negatives
• Other

Ғɛɛℓιиɢ Ɖσωи Ғσя Иσ Яɛαƨσи

Of course it depends on the situation you apply to, but if you´re feeling down
and you´re not sure why, then this is your place.

You can feel down due to past life situations. Your subconscious can be thinking
about a passed loved one and you might not even be aware of it. You may be
looking at something/someone that reminds you of them, and it may trigger your
subconscious to think this why. If you catch yourself in the act of thinking about
the past, then stop. Stop thinking about the past because you are done with the
past. You are in the present, not the past. Once something is done, it´s done.
You have no special powers to go back into the past and repetitively ask yourself
those haunting ¨what if¨ questions. You are worth so much more than drowning
in your past. You are in the now, and you must make the most of it.

Ħɛяɛ´ƨ ғιʌɛ ωαʏƨ тнαт ʏσʋ cαи ℓɛт ɢσ σғ тнɛ ραƨт:
1. Make the decision to let it go. Things don´t disappear on it´s own.
2. Express both your pain and your responsibility.
3. Stop being the victim and blaming others.
4. Focus on the present- the here and now- and joy.
5. Forgive both them and yourself.

Trust me when I say I completely know what it´s like to struggle in school,
whether you are having procrastination problems, getting frustrated over
not being able to learn in certain subjects, getting too much homework
piled on your shoulders, etc. I understand.

There will always be a certain subject that will you won´t be as strong in
as the others, but you can still improve your performance in that subject.
I´d say that the top three things you should do if you´re having trouble in
school work are:

• Ask questions
  Honestly, if you´re confused on something, just ask your teacher! In most
  cases, teachers are there to help their students learn, no matter how bad
  the relationship between the teacher/student may be. Their job is to teach
  people and help them learn. No matter how much you think/know your
  teacher may hate you, asking questions can still be a good thing to do. And
  if that doesn´t work? Ask a friend/classmate who seems to know what they´re
  doing.
• Get a tutor
  If you cannot work independently sufficiently, or if the teachers are confusing
  you too much, get a tutor! They are usually around your age and it may be
  easier to understand them. They can give you useful studying tips, and obviously
  help you out with where you´re struggling.
• Study
  If you don´t study, you´re never going to be able to learn anything. Studying is
  like the key to learning. If you don´t do it, you´re most likely screwed. Find a
  way that you can study without getting easily distracted by electronics or other
  things. Don´t burn yourself out either. Take 5-10 minute breaks and take intervals
  so that you don´t stress yourself out.

If you think you´re just flat out stupid/ not capable of learning, you´re 100% wrong.
If you actually try, if you actually study and find ways to help yourself, you´re never
going to understand the concept. The only reason you´d be ¨stupid¨ is simply because
you´re dumb enough not to do anything about it! You need to learn your priorities and
know that education is very important. You are only incapable of doing something if
you keep telling yourself that. Remember that you have the choice whether to put an
effort or not into your education.


Ħαʌιиɢ Ƭяσʋвℓɛ ιи Ƨcнσσℓ (Ƨσcιαℓ)

If you´re being bullied, consider yourself to have no social life, etc, then this is probably
the correct section to read.

To start off, if you´re being bullied, find an adult. It can be a guidance councilor,
teacher, parent, or another trusted adult. Being bullied is a very serious thing and it
should not be something to go through alone. Please know there´s always going to be at
least somebody around you who can help with a bullying situation.

Always try to be the bigger person. Of course you should stand up for yourself, but don´t
go fighting the person who is bullying you because that will only make the situation worse.
If they´re physically bullying you, scream as loud as you possibly can and I´m pretty sure that
somebody is bound to hear you and come running. You can also take classes to defend yourself
if you were ever in a situation where you´re being physically hurt.

Go ahead and listen to this song. Keep reminding yourself this lyric:
¨And you don´t have to change a thing
The world can change it´s heart.¨

You´re worth more than you think. Keep being you because everybody is different and unique in
their own special way.

Honest to God, I feel ya fam. This is actually something that I need to personally remind myself
of all of the good things that are going on in the world.

There are SO many charities and organizations for many different reasons throughout
the world, but sometimes it´s hard to remember them. Let me just name a few:

The Thirst Project
Imagine a small child, boy or girl, in Africa, sitting beside a river full of dirty water. This kid
has no choice but to collect the dirty water and drink it for themselves. The Thirst Project
collects donations from people all over, and that can provide that kid with safe and clean
drinking water. How is that not amazing?

There´s animal shelters which help deserving animals to get new homes and lovely homes!
There are people who do good deeds such as:

• Help clean up the world
• Help homeless people by donating food, money, blankets, etc.
• Giving people compliments
• People who participate in organizations, charities, projects, etc.

And so many more!
So just remember that the entire world is not cruel. The bad things that go on in the world
can easily block out the good, and you must recognize that there´s so many lovely things
and people in the world! Learn to appreciate and see more positivity! It´ll help both yourself
and the people around you! c:

Ѳтнɛя

For all of those people who don´t apply to any of the above, this is your place! If you´re going
through a tough time, there´s always people on the comfort corner who are more than happy
to help you out. Remember to stay positive and you cannot find stars without darkness ❤ I
hope that you have an absolutely amazing day because you honestly deserve it + you´re a
bright, shining star! Keep being you! c:
