EXAMS

TIPS ON HOW TO ACE YOUR EXAMS 💯

Hey guys, its me again! Today i have some helpful ideas on how to pass your tests like a boss! Trust me these have actually worked for me and i'm not trying to exaggerate but the results were amazing!!👌 Now without any time to waste, let me get on to the post.

TIPS

⇊. READ!! -  No i'm not trying to be funny or anything but this is the most important thing to do when preparing for exams. I would advice you to read a week in advance for your exams, not any earlier than that because you can easily forget some information and really that can cost you. If at all you are lazy like me, you could try my risky method of studying (😂) This is what i do; For every exam, no matter how important it is, i always read a day before each test, i don't know but i think its the reason for my A's. Mind you, my reading is not for me to understand, i use the CAP method (Cram And Pass) so its for me to get everything crammed into my head for the test and later forget the information. I know its not a good thing to do, but it just seems to work perfectly fine for me. I can actually spend 10 hours straight reading everything for that subject, and the next day it will all be in my brain and voila i'm ready to ace the test.

⇊. LISTEN TO MUSIC - I do this all the time guys, listening to music actually helps me concentrate more, and understand clearly too. I believe that if you use earphones and listen to songs, it blocks out all the distractions and keeps you secluded on your own and privately you can read without being disturbed. You can listen to calm music, or instrumental music so you can only focus on what you are reading and not the lyrics to the song. With music, there is always a way!

⇊. AFFIRMATIONS - Writing a list of positive words which you can recite to every night and day can tame your brain to think in a certain way, and can increase your intelligence as well. If you say these words repeatedly, your brain will eventually get used to it and change to act in the way you want it to correspond. Within a short period, you will realise that you have gotten smarter and you have adapted to a different way of thinking. When you say the words, you have to believe. Believing plays a big role in your success, and no negative thoughts should feature in your brain, remember positivity is the key. You can write something similar to this:

• I am clever
• I get smarter each second
• I believe in myself
• I can do anything without doubt
• I have a robust brain
• I can grasp information with ease
• I only pass with flying colours
• I understand everything instantly
• I am one of the top achievers in school

If you continue saying these positive words to yourself (aloud) you will notice a big change.Thank me later😙

⇊. ROYGBIV - (Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet) Yes i know, these are the colours of the rainbow, nope that's not all, the abbreviation to this combination is the easiest way of remembering the colours of the rainbow in order. As long as you can remember this short term, then you are sure you can remember all the colours of the rainbow. Now let me get to the point. What i'm trying to emphasise is that if you can simplify an arrangement of words or just sentences in particular you can simply use this ROYGBIV method to easily remember long sentences and words. I use it all the time and it has helped me a lot.

⇊. PRAY - I know there are some people who don't believe in God, go to church and don't pray. If you are one of them, without any disrespect or discrimination, this tip is not for you. It is only for the believers and people who practise prayer. The reason i'm addressing this is because there are people who are atheist and i'm not trying to offend them in any way, which is why i'm saying it. Now if you go to church, you know that Prayer is very important. Its one of the most important things in our lives. Without prayer, you cant go anywhere in life, because thorough prayer you are communicating to God,asking him to help you and guide you. If you pray everyday, even during your examinations, just  know God will answer your prayer and he will guide you throughout the paper and when you get your results you will realise God really did answer your request.

⇊. FOCUS - When you are writing your tests, try to focus on them and them alone! If it means giving away your devices up for confiscation then it is what you need to do in order to focus. All the time when i'm writing exams, my parents always put my phone away (because its the only thing that keeps me distracted) and i wont lie it helps because if i was to write exams while focusing on my phone as well, then ,my marks would all be BAD,HORRIBLE!! So i advice y'all to put away things that can easily distract you from focusing on your school work, especially during your examinations.

⇊. SEEK HELP - No, i don't mean from psychiatrists and i don't include anything that has to do with mental disorders or anything related. What i mean is seek help from your colleagues, parents and people you are close to. If you have problems with understanding certain subjects, then do ask the others for help. Their help might actually benefit you during your exams, and you will get the information you needed.

⇊. FIND A STUDY PARTNER - If you aren't the kind who likes studying alone, then finding a study buddy or getting in study groups could help. I have never been in any of those, but i think its useful because in the session you will be discussing important aspects with the others, and you can learn different things you hadn't known before and it could also benefit you in the exam.

I think that's all guys, hope these will help you, and if they do, please tell me all about it. Good luck with any of you who are writing your exams, get those A*s in your report.

Good day🌟

HOW TO RECOGNISE A TRUE/FALSE FRIEND

PT.1

Hey guys, its Lons! Today i want to share some ways on how do identify a real or fake friend. Hopefully at the end of this post you will know what to do with untrue friends and how to preserve the loyal ones!

Note: This may not apply to everyone, so please don't attack me because this is based on occurrences that have happened to most people.

REAL/TRUE FRIENDS

• They are always happy for your success - True friends would never wish bad on you, no matter the weather because just as they would want to see themselves succeed, they will want the same for you.They might even be happier for you than you are for yourself.

• They motivate you - If you have ever felt down,sad and not good enough, true friends will comfort you, and motivate you to do your best.They will push you to try new things which will benefit you in the future. During your road to success, they will support you throughout the whole journey.

• They will always try to make you happy - Whether you are feeling happy or miserable, your friends will always cheer you up.Not only do they want to see a smile on your face but they want you to always be positive. They will leave you feeling confident and good about yourself.

• They try their best to maintain your friendship - Even if you are going through a rough phase with your friends, or perhaps you have a long-distance relationship, your friends will try their all to conserve the friendship. They will make time to catch up, spend time with you and help you with other things in your life. They will put an effort to keep the connection of your friendship strong.

• They are goodhearted - Good friends are always generous and kind. Even when they are trying to be honest and just with you, they will say it in a calming way, in a way that will not make you feel insecure but even more confident. Some of  the bad things that may need to be addressed to you, they may keep it to themselves, because they are cautious towards your feelings and they only want to see you happy and not hurt.

The above are TRUE MATES, let me tell you what ; They are for keeps! 🔒💕

FAKE/FALSE FRIENDS

First of all these aren't even your friends to start with. But because they are all about the acting and pretending, we aren't sure are we? Right, so for us to come to our conclusion, we have to know their motives when they are around us.

• They are jealous - I'm sure some of us have been jealous of one another, but the kind of jealous i'm talking about here is weighty. Maybe you have just received good news and you are just too excited you want to share the news with your friends. Taking notice of their reactions is one way of finding out whether your friends are supportive or not. If one of them doesn't seem so happy, or rather looks bothered, then he/she isn't joyful to your success. You now know that they don't want to see you live a fortunate,prosperous life.

• They make you seem like the 'bad guy' -  So these kind of friends are those who will turn a small situation into a big deal. He/she thinks you are trying to copy every move that she does, no, that's not all, she thinks by doing this, eventually you are going to do it better than her. She is afraid of you taking the spotlight,SHE DOES NOT WANT TO SEE YOU ABOVE HER!! So what does she do? she says some pretty hurtful things to you and plays the victim. Now for a person like me, i would actually believe i did something bad, i would start believing i'm a bad person and all that. But honey let me tell you something, DO NOT suppose any of these,because you are none of them. HE/SHE is just trying to bring you down, make you feel bad about yourself. You now know what to do ; CUT HIM/HER OFF!!✂

• They only point out your errors - No matter what you do or say, your friend will always tell you the wrongs. Of course maybe you are thinking they are looking out for you, or only being genuine or real. HONEY! that's not being real, that's being rude. I don't know about you but my definition of rudeness may be different to yours, but as long as your friend always has something bad to say to you, then it definitely is being mean. I'm not trying to say your friend should be two faced, but at least they should not use their honesty to make you feel bad, they should just try to understand you also have feelings. Imagine you were to act that way towards them, they would think you are only being jealous right? In my opinion, if your friend denotes your imperfections, flaws and never your merits they ain't truthful, they are petty.

These are all i could gather for this particular post,and because i realised it was getting long i decided i would make part 2 if of course you are interested. Hope this was useful to y'all, and if you needed this information hopefully you have now realised where your relationship with your friends stands.

Thanks for reading!

Good day❤️

BEGINNING

Hey people!

Welcome to my blog!

 Its my very first entry since I'm new here so please don't expect my work to be good nor perfect. I will try to do my best in my entries and please feel free to give me suggestions on what topics i should write on and criticism is allowed, just be open and tell me what you think about my piece and i shall use it to build my writing skills.

 So the reason why i decided to create a blog is really not interesting, so basically i was just scrolling through the Internet and the thought of it just came across my mind and I'm like why not give it a try! Another reason is because i just wanted to share my thoughts in written form, pour my mind out so people could know my thoughts,opinions etc. For some reason i just feel free writing everything down because its a way of getting information abroad so people can access it as well, so i just want people across the globe to know about me and maybe relate to my thoughts.

So i may,or may not give out my personal information like my name, country inhabited and all, but i will make a nickname y'all can refer me to, real age, gender and not so personal information too.

Let me start like this:

My name is Lons.
I am a female aged 14. 
I am a Libra♎ - Birthday : 5th October
I am a Christian.♱
I am currently in 8th grade (2018)

If you want to be friends, you can go ahead and follow me on my two instagram accounts and feel free to hit me up, i respond to all texts.

If you want to know more about me,please let me know and i will publish a post on it.

Bye y'all, stay safe!
