DELF stands for Diplôme d’Études en Langue Française, or Diploma in French Language Studies. It can be used to enhance your resume, give you an advantage for postsecondary studies,…
Exams are just around the corner. Or they may already be done for you, I don’t know. You could pretend that this year you’re actually going to study hard every day for a month in advance, or you could read this list and get more ideas on how to procrastinate. Organize your work space. You…
Are you beginning to feel it? It’s like there’s something always there, watching you, waiting for you to notice it’s presence. Ready to hit you in the face if you try to ignore it, and prepared to offer you both success and failure at the same time. Cruel and kind in its own right. Extremely…
If you find your mind dwelling too long on something, you’ve definitely experienced these struggles in your social circles and at school. With the school year winding down for two more months, let us reminisce about all of these experiences that we have faced during the school year: 1. Your friends have gotten used to…
Have you ever gotten an unexpected mark on your test just because you made so many careless mistakes? Have you ever thought you would get a 100% if you paid more attention to the questions? Have you ever regretted not checking your work before you handed the test in? If this has ever happened to you, then here are…
Winter and exam-time are two extremely dreadful few weeks that happen to occur at basically the same time. Personally, I find reading extremely relaxing, especially when I’m trying to forget about the exams I’m cramming for. I compiled a mini list of books that I’ll be sure to read during the winter season. These books…
Gasp! The semester ended quicker than it seemed! Which means, the most dreaded season is approaching- exam season. Very often, I find myself stressed beyond limits for an upcoming examination. I end up pulling all-nighters, even on the eve of the exam. After all these years of stressing out, I have discovered foolproof ways of…
It’s that time of year again: everyone at school is stressing about exam schedules, worrying about their averages and cramming for exams. Every year is pretty much the same, except this year I’m in Grade 12, and the stress level of my peers is definitely skyrocketing. Diploma prep. University applications. Making the grade. These are…
I’m here in the middle of exam break dreaming of summer vacation so I decided to pacify myself by looking over some of the photos I took on my trip to Toronto last August. Here are some famous Toronto landmarks and some neat things that caught my eye around the city.
This might be a bit late, but it’s still June and some of us might still have exams — Like me 🙁 . Studying and learning is a big part of our teen/student life, knowing how you learn best could help you get quicker in learning or remember the notes we are facing everyday. Are you a…
It’s the time of year when everyone in my grade is starting to get stressed out about provincial exams. We’re writing short stories, and I was looking at techniques when I accidentally stumbled upon the art of flash fiction. It’s an interesting art. Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway once wrote a story in only…
So everyone, I had the best week ever because so much has happened. To start with, I got my diploma marks which were terrible. I had a 62 in Biology. I was stumped. I always thought I was fairly smart and this crushed that entire ideal. The cringe worthy empathy and the “it’s okay” are…
So for me, exams have just finished and I recently got my results back. To say the least, I was utterly disappointed/shocked/angry/saddened/in despair over one mark in particular. And when I say I did poorly, I really mean I did poorly- my final mark brought my average down ten (plus) percent. Yup, ten (plus) percent.…
Final exams are finally hitting high school students and I don’t even have to design my own science lab to know that the rate of procrastination with the added stress is definitely increasing as well. Studying may seem like rocket science at times and I feel like “procrastination” is actually the perfect solution towards helping my…
So for a lot of us it’s exam break, which of course is just a time when we should really just be focusing on our studies (but in reality the only skills I’m improving on are my procrastination skills). Anyway, here’s a list of my favourite websites to spend time on while taking study breaks,…
