Note taking (& more!)

Since tons of students are starting school this fall, I thought I would make a post over note taking and more!



Notes
 This is normally how I set up my pages

Title
Subtitle
·         Info
·         Info – more if it relates to the topic



And that goes on out through the page. I usually highlight the subtitle, and highlight and definitions that I need to remember for a test. After the class is over, and you have time before your next class, write a summary over the notes so that way instead of reading the whole page of notes when you study for a final or you’re just trying to find a paper in the future, you can just read that summary.

If you want to be extra organized, make a table of contents in the front of your note book when you’re done taking the notes and the book is filled. I just keep one binder with folders of all my classes and when I take notes for that class, on the weekend I tear it out of my notebook and put it in the correct folder.

The other day I read that if you write down your worries before a test, that it can improve your test scores!


But overall, remember these things…

-          Aim for passion, not A’s.
-          If you fail, it’s alright. Everyone makes mistakes, just recall what you did wrong then next time do it right.
-          Read a lot, and think a lot.
-          Don’t ask questions that have a simple answer, ask questions that makes you think.
-          Set goals
-          Put your freakin’ phone away.
-          Find the time when you’re most productive.
-          Have snacks, and a drink.
-          Eat healthier!
-          Take notes in different colors, and bright highlighters.
-          Never study in bed, you’ll totally fall asleep.

I am grateful.



I came across this link up today, and I can't lie, I think it's pretty awesome. 


I'm grateful for... My parents. They've always been here for me no matter what, and I honestly don't know how they put up with my moodyness. I'm pretty grumpy sometimes.

I'm grateful for... My whole family. Even though we're not around each other 24/7, when we get together it's so much fun. I have the best time with every single one of them, and I couldn't ask for more.

I'm grateful for... Having a awesome first and last day back to my high school. 


What are you grateful for?

Me.

Me. 
It's a two letter word but yet it has so much more meaning then two letters. You are everything that you've spent your life learning, you're everything that you've heard, wrote, done, acted like, and inspired. 
Now, you have the simple people, the one's that get caught up in the life that others want them to live. They're a clone to what life is suppose to be, well, what you're suppose to be. You've heard that 1,000 times, that people are clones and that they just want to be like everyone else. Everyone has gone through that, but answer this question, when you went through that stage, was you really like everyone else? The answer in my opinion is no. You still went home that afternoon and hung out with your parents, or pets, or even maybe your boyfriend at the time. But you acted way different when you get around those certain things, but around those certain things, you feel more of yourself. 
You are you, and nobody is like you. You love different, cry different, and have different personality's. 
So what is you? What is Me? 


Me = Dreamer: "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." I bet you've heard this quote before, if you haven't it was the first thing that popped in my head after I wrote the subtitle which is in bold. I dream a lot, and I also mean when I'm sleeping too. But I mostly mean when I'm awake, and after I watch a very good movie, I want to go do what happen in that movie and I get so inspired. I've been like that ever since I was a kid. When I would watch a spy movie, I thought I was a spy so I would army crawl through the house and use my DS to send messages to HQ. But as you get older, your dreams change. They're more realistic, and I'm sure some you can do if you really set your mind to it. I dream one day that I will get married, have a great family, but first I dream to finish college. I've promised myself that when I started high school, to wait till I can support other people, and give them the love and advice that they need in life. That is my dream. But don't get me wrong, if someone is from HQ and wants me back as a spy, I'll gladly take your offer.

Me = lover & fighter: I could never win a fist fight to save my life, but when I get mad enough, I can sure let out a yell. but that's only been towards my mother because we like to fight with each other every day so we don't take it out on other people. My mother is a strong women, she's taught me that you have to have a backbone in life, you can't let people walk all over you. Every time I have a break up, or lose some friends, I think about that and become better at not letting those people keep on treating me horrible. But then the lover side comes out, and I forgive because I hate to see those people mad at me. I fall in love to easy, I forgive to easy, and I always have to give 1000 chances out to people which I think deserves them. But that's not a horrible thing, because that's the way God has made me, and my family loves me more then anything in the world. One day I will find those friends, a husband, or just people that love that about me. I already do have people like that in my life.

Me = Blessed: I have the best family around. Yes, we get in our little fights but at the end of the day, those are the people that's going to be there for you. I have had some awful stuff happen before, but it's true when they say "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." We all get caught up in everything that we have that we feel the need to brag, or stay to our self. Normally, I find myself forgetting to thank the Lord, and my family for everything and anything. I'm not perfect, but I'm learning. That's all that matters.

Me = Me: I am me, no one else is like me. I've thought at points I've found people that could be like my twin, but it's not possible. I found myself just trying to fit in with these people that I know I don't relate to at all. I love FFA, I love to learn even though I never get my work done at school, my coffee has to have a lot of sugar and creamer in it before I even try to drink it, I like to take pictures of myself because it makes me feel good, I'm a night owl, but not a real one because the only reason I stay up is because I sleep all day. Most of my summer has been spent in my room, reading a book, or spending it with my ex and family. My life isn't perfect, I don't have something exiting to write about each day, and a lot of the time I want to give up on this blogging thing because I see all these people with posts that get so many views, and they're having so much fun. 

But this is Me, flesh and bone through the internet. 








Senior year!

Ahhhh! It's almost that time, I almost start my senior year! 
I'll be making two posts, one over some clothes that I've got for clothes, then some supplies that I've got. Because if you know me, I LOVE LOVE LOVE supplies! 
So getting on with this.



1. Maxi Dress
That's a really cute Lily Maxi Dress.. Wait.. No way.. It's not a Lily dress!? Nope lady's, it's from aero. Yep, thats true, and it was pretty darn cheap too. It was around $14 because it was on sale. How great is that?


2. Tunic
I love this shirt I got from Old Navy, I seen it there a while back and I didn't have the money then. So when the chance came to school shop and go to Old Navy, I took it. I was scared at first because I couldn't find it! Then I went to the clothes that are on sale, and there it was. I was happier then a bird with a french fry. 


3. Tank top
I've always seen these shirts on websites that I shop on, and they've been around 30-40 dollars each. I personally thought that was insane! So I never got my tank top. Then when I was school shopping I came across this, and I can't even explain how excited I was to find it at a price of $15! I was prancing all the way to pay for it.


4. Jewelry
I have had the pink necklace and earrings for a while now, and I got both from Charlotte Russe with their 2 for $10 deal. It's my favorite deal of the season. Then the top right necklace, I got from my lovely grandmother. It's adorable!


5. Jeans
I wanted a pair of jeans from Buckle that didn't have so much bling on them. So when I found these I knew they was perfect! 


So that's the main of what I got, I was not in any way paid by anyone to to post about what I got, all my personal opinion!
