If you study for hours and hours or cram right before the test, but end up getting an unsatisfactory grade, you need to change your study habits. You have to find study techniques that help you study smarter, not longer. I've been in school long enough to identify which techniques work the best for me, so here they are: Take Better Notes. Instead...
Be less cluttered and more organized. I'm not the most organized person out there. I'm lazy so sometimes I leave my desk cluttered, or I forget to use my planner, or I stuff papers into my backpack instead of a folder. After awhile, it drives me crazy. So my goal is to be more organized. I find that I am WAY more productive...
If you're looking for desktop wallpaper ideas, you could personalize your wallpaper by making a collage. Above is the wallpaper that is currently on my desk top. I filled the collage with pictures and quotes I found on Pinterest and Tumblr that inspired me. For example, I added the Nike shoes to remind me to work out more, the guitar pick is to...
It's now August, the Sunday of summer. It's that time to search for textbook deals and steals. There are a couple things I learned during undergrad about buying textbooks, so here is what I have to say: Don't buy a full-priced textbook. I mean, if you are financially capable, do so. You could sell those textbooks at a used price to get some...
K-Indie: Korean Indie music is the perfect music for summer. Why? Because whenever I listen to K-Indie, I imagine a cute picnic with a significant other on top of a hill, or an evening at the fair eating cotton candy, or riding a blue bike across town with balloons attached on the back, or sharing a large chocolate bunny with a loved one,...
Ahh summer. The much awaited summer vacation where the sun is out and so are the swimsuits and sunscreen. If you're in school, many of your friends are probably doing cool things like traveling to exotic places, or getting a dream internship. But sadly, not all of us are lucky enough to do or get what we want. If you currently have nothing...
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I think we've all kept a journal one time or another. Maybe it was required as a school assignment or maybe it was when you were little and wanted to start a diary because that's what characters did in books and movies... but eventually, we forgot about the journal and it is either collecting dust in your closet...
Movies: Now You See Me: I rented this movie and my expression the whole time watching was WOW. This is about four talented magicians who worked together to form a group called The Four Horsemen and perform never-before-seen magic shows in three cities. They didn't just decide to form The Four Horsemen by themselves, someone brought them together to achieve something, and that's...
Freshman year just ended for me, and it was definitely a learning experience. For the first time, I ventured out of my home into a new environment where I didn't know anybody. Eventually, I learned how to adapt to the college life, such as meeting new people, studying efficiently, surviving dorm food, etc. Here are some things I wish I knew freshman year:...
There were many sleepless nights. The lights were kept on in the small bedroom downstairs where 16 of my family members slept on every inch of the floor. It was too dangerous to go on the upper floors of the house. The door was wide open in case we all needed to rush outside, because we never knew when another earthquake was going...
Traveling to Nepal has been the most amazing experience of my life. This is the country I was born in, and I am proud of it. It may be third world, with load shedding and pollution in the big city, but the natural beauties of the himalayas, exotic sceneries, daring adventures, and especially the rich cultural heritage of the country make it the...
