Why vacations are a blessing?

If you are a student who managed to make it to vacations after ninth grade, you will pretty much agree with me. To be honest, I envy my juniors and their carelessness towards studies after being promoted to class 9. There is one thing for sure, class nine is NOT easy, and that pretty much is the reason I haven’t written a blog post for about 6 months. My vacations started a month ago and, hallelujah, I have enjoyed myself a lot. In this post, I am not only referring to school associated vacations, I am referring to P.T.O’s, semester  and every little break available to everybody  in a year or two. So, here I am with 4 reasons explaining why vacations come as a blessing:

1) Unlimited TV Shows and Movies

Throughout the year of extreme stress and anxiety about almost everything, I think that not everyone gets to relax and, watch a movie other than Sunday. Now, when the golden era of break starts, you get to watch every damn movie and show you want to without tension of delaying things.  For instance, I wait all year to watch all seasons of a certain TV show in my summer break.

2) Don’t worry, nothing’s due!

In other words, you don’t get to worry about procrastinating in your vacations. I mean, it’s what we are supposed to do, right?

Hmm. I’ll tell you that LATER.

(See what I did there?)

3)  Unlimited Naps and Sleep

Sleep is the most important factor in keeping you healthy and you get loads of it in vacations. Take all the naps you want. No restrictions on timing, nothing.  Say goodbye to dark circles!

4) We socialize!

I have seen a lot of people making new friends over the summer. Of course, you need to meet new people to make your vacations better unless you have a gaming console or pc as your best friend. And yeah, we socialize with our old buddies too via meet-ups and all.

5) Discover your talent, child!

Throughout the year, you are too much indulged in your workplace or school that you don’t have time to discover new things or talents. Vacations are a golden opportunity to do that. For example, I started painting (it’s not my mistake if paintings are horrible) this summer.

That’s all I got for you guys. I hope you guys are all geared up for your vacations. Enjoy!

Stop Lying To Yourself

We have to make difficult choices at difficult and different stages of our life. For example, I, a few days before, had to make the big choice to choose the subject for my O’levels. My decision depended on what I wanted to become in the future.  A lot of people encouraged me to take pre-medical and I know they thought it was the best for me but, it is my choice and, if in that very moment I had taken the field I KNEW I wouldn’t enjoy being in, I wouldn’t be happy  as I am right now. I enjoy pre-engineering. The fact that I am happy right now is because I didn’t lie to myself. I know I cannot become a doctor. I know bio is not my strength. I know one wrong decision can change the course of my life. To be honest, I am not nervous to make a decision that can change the course of my life. I have been taught that I have to deal with every obstacle I face and that, I have to adjust my self-according to the situation I am in but, sometimes being truly honest to yourself is really the key to become happy and successful.Tell someone that you have been lying to yourself and to them for some time now. Doing something dramatic, in a good way. Take a risk. Not doing something simply because you are told to do it or because everyone else is doing it.

People lie to themselves. They know that they couldn’t do certain things. They know that if they do something they shouldn’t, It will affect them and others around them as well but let’s not ignore the fact that human nature is daring. Daring is good but only sometimes being daring can really help you or change your life.  Before doing something we have to be sure if we can do that. For instance, I am accustomed of making to-do lists for my everyday tasks. Today, I had 5 tasks to do but guess what? I didn’t do either of them and, ended up writing this blog and I literally know that tonight, I am going to sleep with deep guilt of not doing those tasks.  Can you see where this lack of honestly taking me? To be honest, If one is truthful to themselves, life can be a lot more easier.

Sometimes, when I really don’t know what I should do, I talk to no one but to myself . I know it sound crazy but it helps. It helps me to get my thoughts in order and decide either I should do one thing or not.

I guess that was all I had for you guys today. Thank you so much for 850+ views on my blog. It really means a lot and, more blogs will be coming very soon.

X-Men:Apocalypse-3 Ups and Downs

X-Men: Apocalypse has surprised its fans this year in many ways. Many new mutants were introduced .Believe me, I am X-Men’s die heart fan and I been watching it’s series for a long time. Somehow, I wasn’t very satisfied with X Men’s latest sequel. I must say it had adequate action and awesome graphics in it but no, it wasn’t the best movie of X-Men so far. Yet,calling it a “disappointing” movie isn’t the accurate description therefore I decided to make the list of its Ups and Downs.

List of its Ups:

1) Phoenix Force (OH, Big Spoiler ahead!)

If you have seen X-Men Apocalypse, you will know what happens in its end.  Professor Xavier tells Jean to unleash her power therefore phoenix force inside Jean gets revealed and she destroys Apocalypse. In my opinion, was the best scene of the movie because, after watching this, we can imagine about Jean extraordinary powers that we will see in next films. I mean “Wow” the scene was extraordinary, indeed. Honestly, this was not expected of Jean in the end.

2) Quicksilver’s Scene!

I mean that scene made the movie! It was funny and it made me admire Quicksilver more. His abilities were marvelously showed. This scene was just perfect! The way he was running to the way he was giving expressions to different things children were doing was mind-blowing.  Not forgetting the graphics which were just very real.

3) Sophie Turner as Jean Grey!

Before watching the latest X-Men sequel, I thought that the casting of Sophie Turner as Jean Grey wouldn’t work because I thought her Game of Thrones’ Sansa Stark-ish-ness would disrupt the illusion of her being Jean Grey. Guess what, people? I was wrong! Sophie Turner had the talent to optimize Jean’s character. Yet, she did that perfectly.  She suited perfectly in her role as the quiet, shy girl who, herself is scared of her powers.

Downs:

1) Lack of Emotions and Details

After watching exquisite plot of X-Men: Days of Future Past, I thought that its sequel would have more emotions than it because, you know, A Mutant God, who appears to be the most powerful of them all, has evil plans of cleansing the earth to the strongest but believe me, I was wrong. I mean, there were no or very less emotions. Emotions didn’t reach us like they did in DOFP.  (Please don’t tell me you don’t know what DOFP IS: p) Furthermore, we didn’t know about the Apocalypse’s powers at all. I mean, not everyone has read the comic therefore audience deserves to be fully informed about the powers of their villain. Was he a telepath? No, because he kept on asking the horseman about other mutants, whom he would imbue with the power of Horseman. Come On!!! He is the most powerful of them all. In addition, we didn’t know what happened in the past 10 years.

2) Unbelievable or Just DUMB Things

If you take a look at the movies of X-Men before Apocalypse, there were many wow and realistic things happening in them but this time Bryan Singer failed to make his audience “Wow”.Some of you might say that “Come On! It’s a fiction movie” but my friend, it is happening in a real world. We should see people dying if a mutant god’s intention is to destroy the whole world. The thing that amazed me by a lot was the arrival of William Stryker’s helicopters before fire trucks. Okay, there might be any explanation for that but why was the villain called Apocalypse, although his name was En Sabah Nur???In Addition, why was Agent McTaggert the first one to lift the rug off the entrance of the place where En Sabah Nur’s tomb was placed? Also, If Egyptians or People of Cairo knew about Apocalypse (I guess), why where they keeping him in the place with non-proper entrance and a place where intruders (with weapons) could easily enter? I mean Agent McTaggert  just simply dashed into that place where there was a Mutant God.

3) Wolverine Cameo

I hate to write this but Wolverine’s cameo in Apocalypse seriously disappointed me. We all are great fans of his’ and were super excited to see him in Apocalypse, but his cameo was just unsatisfactory. I mean he came, did some fighting and just ran off like that. I know and I understand, Bryan Singer wanted to show his behavior after being caged like an animal for such a long time but come on! It seemed as if this cameo was forcibly put in this movie.

The movie had some awesome moments and graphics but as  X-Men’s Fans “some” awesome moments and super advanced graphics aren’t enough to satisfy us. The movie was good but it just wasn’t good enough!

5 ways to kill your time when you're bored!

Hey Guys!Well there is a certain time when you don't have anything to do and you are just like "God!What do I do?" and you sit around your television eating different things trying to figure out your life,I myself have many of these moments in my life too and today I have 5 different ways to kill your time and you're welcome.

1.Movies
You might have seen me writing many movie reviews,yes whenever I'm bored I watch a movie.What you can do is watch a new movie,old movie or your favorite movie.Believe me time flies when you watch your favorite movie.As for me I watch "X:Men" whenever I'm bored.

2.Go through your old photos
If you like to capture special moments through photos, then you should probably go through old photos or some shots you have taken in the free time.

3.Books Are Your Friend!
If you don't feel like doing above ways you can just read a book because read book will keep your mind involved in something.If you're like me and you are saying "come on,books??who reads a book in their free time" then let me tell you brain needs variety to relax. Furthermore,books are increasing your knowledge not taking away anything,are they?

4.Blogging (My Favorite)
It is not like blogging isn't my passion but when i feel bored,i start to write down different ideas I have therefore I end up making a new blog post. If  you have a lot of ideas on which you can write more than 1 paragraph on,you should start blogging.

5.Managing Social Media Accounts
 Some people tend to be very busy in life and fail to take time for their social media accounts. When those busy bees begin to bore,they should,most probably start managing their accounts and become active there  as social media is great pastime in this century

Thank you soo much for reading,you guys are great.
Love

That Last Day Of Vacations

That last day of vacations..

Hey guys,how is everyone?Basically today is the last day of my vacations so I kinda wanted to write this blog.Well,last day of vacations is not the best one,based on my experiences but also not the worst too.It's the last day "unproductive" in my point of view,because these vacations I got bored everyday. 

First thing I do in the morning is that If I wake early (like 10:00 or so) I go back to sleep. You may ask why?That's because I think it's the last day of vacation that I am waking late so I go back to sleep to make myself feel good. Secondly,I take pics of my breakfast because I would like to keep memories.I know what a weird thing to capture memory of,I mean I will get a breakfast tomorrow. After all this stuff I do nothing till 8 other than watching movies and series I followed. Hardest part of the day is when I say goodbye to the series I followed (like this year it was Vampire diaries s.2) because I will never get time during my school year to watch them.I write diary and you know,make new grade resolutions.
 Now when it is finally 8,I start to pack things I wanna take the next day,like stationary books etc. After all packing and all,I go to sleep early which I didn't the whole vacation.

After I go to bed,until 3-4 hours I couldn't sleep,although I try. All those things in my minds gatherer how are my teachers gonna be and how the year will pass etc.Other thing I couldn't sleep because of the excitement to meet my friends.

The thing I will miss about these vacations would be watching movies late at night,my excitement to see vampire diaries,going to the beach with my family.This was my last day of vacations experience..I wanna thank my family for this awesome vacation.

Just a little message to everyone of you:
Spend everyday because  it's never gonna come back,Be yourself this time is more precious than any of the diamond.

Thank you everyone for 400+ views  on my blog in 11 months.

With all love,

5 Ways Twitter's 140 Characters Are Helping You

Hi Guys! Oh, I know you all complain about “140” letters limit on Twitter. I know its irritating, you have written a long paragraph but when you see -1000 beneath your post, you feel really angry because you have to short it now. Everybody can write a whole blog complaining about it but as I am a positive person, I am going to tell you how it’s positive for you. Quit complaining and read below!

1. Gain you followers!

I think Twitter having 140 character limits helps to keep our account professional. I mean the less you write the professional and attractive your post gets. When you  will have 500+ posts containing links and hash tags, useful for others people are going to go crazy to follow you.

2. Increases your creativity!

You have a long paragraph, but if you want to post it on Twitter you gotta shorten it. If you can, then you are very creative! If you keep on doing this on every post, you can become creative and explain your long story in few lines.

3. Prevent Mistakes!

Logically, if you write something very long, you have mistakes in it. As twitter doesn’t have a option to write more than 140 characters, there is no choice you have to write that long paragraph in few lines.

4. Stops a fight before it begins!

I have always believed that social media can be a cause of fight between two people. Niki Minaj and Taylor Swift’s bad blood part 2 has proven me correct. Somehow it can’t be done on twitter. Why? Because there is no one who can explain their problems in 140 characters unless, they are an expert!

5. Promote Easily!

If you want to promote a blog that you have written you could easily post a link (shortening it by bitly) and you can put hash tags of the topic that you have written onto(like I do),but if you have written a long paragraph about the blog with that important link on the end…nobody hasn’t got time to read it.

So I think I pretty much explained you all that Twitter is helping us by giving us 140 characters. Some people have to understand that Twitter is very professional website and you all have facebook, google plus to write long paragraphs.

Thanks for 300+ views on my blog!Love you all!

6 Ways For Time Management+Good Grades

Hey Guys! As you all know my blog is from anything to everything so here I am writing on a topic which I have not discussed before.

I have always believed that your “Time Management” is what will lead you to success in school and after school life too.Time Management in school means good grades. For me time is treasure, we can’t buy it from a market once it’s gone, it’s gone .For some of the students who have problems managing their time, I have some good tips for them to manage time.

1. To-Do List:

To do list is what I prefer the most to remember everything I have done and I am going to do. To be honest at the end of your day when you see all the goals you wanted to reach in a day reached, you will feel very good. All the assignments are   done, test papers are signed and revisions for next day also checked, what else could a student could achieve for becoming star student?

2. No gadgets while Studying/doing anything Important:

As the world is becoming advanced, new gadgets are coming in. Yesterday we had “Samsung Galaxy Note 4” and here we are with “Galaxy Note 6”.This change is good in some ways and harmful too. For example, you are studying and suddenly you get a message on a messenger from a friend who has done his/her homework. In the end, you can’t stop talking to his/her because he/she is way too chatty. In the end, you get scolded by your teacher for not doing homework correctly or in other case no homework done on a silly excuse. On the other hand, friend who was talking to you gets full marks. What I am trying to say is that keep your gadgets away from you, while studying. I mean who can resist the message’s sound of their best friend.

3. Now or never!

Don’t leave what you have to do now for tomorrow, just because you have to submit your assignment day after tomorrow. Maybe you have problem in something which you can ask tomorrow when you go to school. However, if you start tomorrow and you realize that you can’t understand it and because of that you don’t do it, then think what impression will make for your teacher? Maybe submitting before anyone is better.

4. Specific time for everything

It’s not like you that you never take a break from studying, just keep everything on a specific time so you don’t get too much bored. A friendly advice, give 60% of your day to studies. Education will help, scoring more than your friend does in “Fruit Ninja” wont.

5. Learn to say “No!”

Most of the people believe that if they say “No” to someone, it will make bad impression of them, which is not true. Unless you say “No” rudely, you will not make bad impression. Just say “Sorry, mate bad time. “If you say “yes” in your busy time, then remember you were the reason.

6. Say “No” to Long Gaps!

You have been doing a long assignment for a very long time, now you want break of at least 1 hour. Take my advice, if you take so long breaks you will get distracted. Now, a question may be raised that “Oh My God! I do that assignment and I can’t have a 1 hour break” Well, who said to work a lot then take break. What you can do is take 10 min break after every one hour, I admit that it will be same in the end but this way your mind will keep rolling. Problem Solved.

Thanks a lot for reading my post. I hope you found it useful. Good Luck with your school!
