Some Gift Ideas

        The holidays are coming up! What some people call the season of Christmas and Hanukkah, I call the season of gift-giving and my birthday (mostly because I don't celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah). So if you're planning to get me a present for my birthday or any other event, I'll help you out and give you some ideas. Here they are: 

1. CANDY!

        If you really don't know what to give me, just get me some candy. Why? Because who can go wrong with candy? Everybody loves candy. Trust me, candy is never a bad gift. Buy some Sour Patch Kids and a bag of Hershey's Kisses and you're good to go! 


2. Some New Clothes
        My wardrobe is a mess. I only have a few things that I actually wear, and the rest of it either doesn't fit me or are hand-me-downs from my sister. I really need to go shopping. 

3. A New Laptop
        It doesn't have to be too expensive (like the MacBook Air in the picture), but I really need a new laptop. First of all, the mousepad on the laptop I use now doesn't even work, so I have to use a wired mouse that I attach to my computer. It's also an HP Stream working on Windows 8. I'd say a new laptop is on the top of my list.

4. More Books
        I know I am very fortunate to have a lot of my own books at home, but I would be eternally grateful if I had more. I love reading, and giving me a book as a gift would make me very excited to add it to my collection.

5. Vacation Tickets
        If you want to spend A LOT of money on me, the best thing you could buy is a plane ticket to some random place in the world to explore. I love traveling and I want to visit a lot of places like The U.K., Mexico, Spain, China, and many more countries. 

        So those were 5 ideas of what you could give me (or anybody) as a gift. Don't worry, I don't expect you to buy me plane tickets for my birthday since these were just ideas, and I will probably be grateful for whatever gifts I get.

Inspirational Quotes

These 3 quotes are very important to me because all three of these quotes helped me realize something that I wouldn't have realized by myself. I had come to sort of an epiphany when I first read each of them. These quotes also give me motivation during my day to day life.     The first quote is a quote by Malala Yousafzai, the youngest noble peace prize winner. I think this quote is targeted towards the people who aren't really considering what is happening around the world, and the people who aren't doing anything to solve the problems. I think Malala is trying to tell people to be brave and stand up for what they believe in.          I can't find the author of the second quote, but I really like the message of it. To me, the quote is saying to look on the bright side; to look for the better things in life, instead of focusing on the worse, no matter how bad they are. I know this message is kind of cliche, but...

Some Shows You Must Watch on Netflix

        I can't think of only  one show that is a great binge, so I'll name a few. Just remember, these are only 3 shows of the many that could be named right now.         The first show, which a lot of people are probably writing about, is Stranger Things. Even though  I haven't had the time to watch Season Two of it yet, the first season was really good, and I expect Season Two to be better. The show is about a 12-year old boy, Will, who goes missing. His friends and his family try to find him and discover that the government and supernatural forces have something to do with his disappearance. I don't want to get into it too much because I'll probably give away spoilers, but it gets really good.         If you like crime TV shows, the next show is for you. My dad would always be watching Prison Break when I was around 9 years old, and I would always just watch along with him, but I never really understoo...

PARCC Testing Tips

Image
        It's that dreaded time of year again all of us hate. PARCC Testing. Every spring, students are forced to spend about a week taking these horrible standardized tests. PARCC always puts everybody in a bad mood. Luckily, I've found some tips that may help make PARCC and other tests easier to get through and less stressful.  1. Get some sleep  Without sleep, your brain has trouble concentrating, focusing, and working in general. Get a full night's sleep the day before the test to make sure your brain works at its best on test day. 2. Have a healthy breakfast Your brain needs brain food to work! Before the test, have a breakfast which is healthy and rich in protein. Try foods like eggs or yogurt.  3. Practice! This one might seem pretty obvious. To get a good score on the test, y ou have to practice! You can use online practice tests so you know what kind of questions will come your way.  4. Use your extra-time wisely...
