Resolutions

A new year is forming before our eyes and many people like to think of this as a way to start over. I don't. I don't wanna make any drastic changes to my current lifestyle, I will simply try to improve it. Here's the gameplan for my New Years Resolutions. I decided that I would make some simple resolutions, promises to myself if you will, that would be easy to follow and that would probably make me happier as well. So here we go:

1. Try not to use laptop/ phone/ tv as much as usual.
2. Buy more flowers.
3. Say yes more often.
4. Drink more tea and juice. (Drink less coffee)
5. Feel pretty and good about yourself more often

I admit these might seem a little strange to anyone who isn't me, but personally I think they're perfect. I hope you all had a lovely evening last night and celebrated it with people you love, I know I did. Have a great January 1st. xx

How to do well without doing anything at all - school edition

Ok so I've found that people usually are very surprised to find out that I dont do my homework, like ever. My friends know so they dont ask anymore, but other people are usually surprised how I manage to keep my grades decent without doing more the bare minimum, and I'm not trying to sound like a know-it-all bitch that thinks shes better then you, but if you wanna know I thought I'd share some secrets with you. You might know them all and you might not know any of them, who knows?

1. Be confident!
If youve ever played poker you know that a good bluff is easily the way to victory. Same goes for school. If you havent done your homework sit in the front row where the teacher can see you. Remember your things, and dont go too long without looking up. Don't avoid eyecontact with the teacher. Challenge yourself and even if you dont know the answer, raise your hand so the teacher can see that you know the answer (this tip does not apply to math or any other classes where theres only one right answer) and if the teacher picks you, you make something up. A good tip to making something up is believing that you cant say anything wrong, if you believe it then other people will too.

2. Steal if necessary
Don't look into other peoples notes, but if someone else says something smart, REMEMBER IT so you can use it if you need it. Look for key information, especially if you havent read what you had to read. Maybe ask your friend to give you a short resume of the text so if you suddenly get asked to you at least have a clue what you're talking about.  And if someone says something that seems to please the teacher it never hurts to raise your hand and say "I agree with.. But I also think that…" and then make something up from the information you've gotten throughout the class.

3. Give a good impression
Not all classes are equally interesting but the key to giving the teacher a good impression of you is knowing when to pay attention. If a teacher is struggling with the class and everyone is looking into their laptops, raise your hand and say something, it doesnt have to be something complicated, just say something if you can, and your teacher will be happy that you at least made an effort. Remembering your books, saying hello to the teachers when you see them before class and behaving well in general, not talking badly about others (teahers, students or friends), and looking interested in what they have to say will leave the teacher with a good impression of you.

4. Hand in papers on time
If you dont do your homework its even more crucial that the papers you hand in are handed in on time or that you at least have a good excuse prepared. Since youre not studying that much you should have time to produce decent papers to maintain the teachers good impression of you.

Well those are probably the only tricks to succes if you like me, have no intention of doing your homework. I know posts like these are not helpful for everybody but I dont even know if anyone is gonna read this so I might as well write whats on my mind and well hopefully it will be helpful for someone out there. I've written posts like this before and you can see my last post about what you need to survive school right here.

What you actually need to survive school

Ok so it might be a little late for this type of post but I know a lot of people (including myself) have just started school or will be starting it in a little while so I thought I'd give a little bit of good and honest advice from what I have learned since I started "High school" (In danish its a different kinda system, only 3 years but well yea you get the idea). First let me start with what you ALWAYS need to bring with you. I made a little polyvore with what I usually bring with my EVERYWHERE. These items will help you survive, trust me. Other then that Ill just give you 3 good tips that you will probably need at some point.

1. The shortcut to your desktop is windowsbutton + d (trust me you will need this if youre allowed to bring laptops to school)

2. If youre lazy like me, and you dont wanna do homework, don't worry, choose the subjects you find the hardest and do your homework for those classes, the rest you dont need to do if youre good at faking it. If you havent done your homework here are some things you can do;

• Print out a resume of that book you had to read so you can be a part of the class discussion. 
• In litterature classes you can never go wrong by saying something about love/lust, death/life, sadness/ depression. If you stick to those themes you cant be completely off. 
• The last thing I'd say you can do is try not to get caught, answer the easy questions and raise your hand every time you can actually answer, if the teacher asks you something you dont know just say that you had a hard time with that part, it always works.

3. ALWAYS be prepared. Stuff like bobbypins and hair elastics are crucial. Your hair might look great when you leave the house but when youve been runnin through the rain and get to class with your hair dripping down your shirt youll be thankful for those hairthings. other things you might need are on the polyvore.

Well this should be my best advice, I'll inform you if I stumble upon something else even more genius even though I doubt it would happen. Good luck with school, and try to enjoy it!
