Hi guys!
Now that midterms are over, I can finally joke about it....
I must admit, the were not that easy... I studied hard with friends and alone ( and with the help of some frozen yoghurt ☺).
I found some cute comics about studying and taking tests, so here goes:
Good luck for those of you who are still in midterms!!!
Have you ever stopped to think why things happen?
I have so many questions....
Why do I have to go through the things I'm going through?
Why did this have to happen?
Why do I feel this way?
Why did she do...?
Why did Hashem create such problems?
Why are there so many tzaros in life?
And on and on.....
Don't think that I don't believe that everything Hashem does is for the best. It's just that... it's still hard not to have these questions.....
It's just some food for thought.
The next post will be much brighter. :)
Hey!
It's not easy to be happy. I'll admit that. -Sigh-...
Midterms, helping at home, disappointments, and more. I feel that it's much easier to be depressed and sad than happy. But who wants to be upset all the time??
No one. But... then why is it so hard??
I'll come back to the happiness thing in a second. First I wanted to share something about me: I love Nechama Cohen. She is my favorite singer. She composes all her songs. One of her songs is about being happy. Here are the lyrics:
Inside Out
I heard from a smart guy the outside is just a lie
When joy is not flying in your heart you can’t start to soar
You gotta live life to the beat of your soul,
It feels right when it’s not just a show anymore
I, I wanna try
I, I wanna fly
Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out
It’s only real when it comes from the inside, inside, inside out
When you find that spark in you that shines like a glowing light in the darkest night
Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out
I heard from a smart man it’s not about running around, you’re just running away from the pain you’ve found
You gotta live creating the joy you’ll have,
Music’s playing inside though you hear no sound
I, I’m gonna try
I, I’ll find a way to fly
Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out
It’s only real when it comes from the inside, inside, inside out
When you find that spark in you that shines, like a glowing light in the darkest night
Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out
Though it’s not easy to find that feeling of elation
I’m gonna search from deep inside and follow my intuition
I know though the instant is fast, it won’t last very long
Day by day, ill take it slowly from the inside out
Until I’m strong
Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out
It’s only real when it comes from the inside, inside, inside out
So bright like a shooting star across the black sky, shining rays of light
Happiness only comes from the inside, inside, inside out
How's everything going???
We have started midterms... :-(
Every single day we have a test!!!! It's really seriously C-R-A-Z-Y! There is literally no time to study! Plus, snow is coming up here!!! YAY!!!
Anyway, I told you guys that there will be a contest this time, so here it is: Send me your top 10 tips for coping with tonz of tests!
The winner will get posted here and hopefully help many Jewish girls do well on their tests.... I can't promise more than that since I don't know how many people are following this...
You can send you entry to me at doubleytrouble@gmail.com UNTIL JANUARY 19! Good luck!
Ok, on to the next thing... my friend also has a blog: https://frumgirlmusings.wordpress.com. She writes really well and it's worth it to check it out!!!
One last request: PLEASE COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE!!!! It helps a lot! Tell your friends about my blog!!!!
Today I cleaned my room. Finally. It has been a hurricane forever, and it was embarrassing to have friends over....
That is just one of the reasons not to clean my room... you never know, one day I may be crowned Queen of Procrastination and Excuses.... :)
So now that my room is clean, I have to work on Clutter Control.
And you, dear reader, will come with me on this journey.
Firstly, a quiz to help you figure out if you need to get rid of clutter:
( check if this sounds like you) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My room looks sort of like an obstacle course from a reality TV show
I'm sometimes embarrassed to invite friends to sleepover because of the mess
I can't quite remember the color of my bedroom carpet...
I often dig through the garbage trying to rescue things that were thrown away
I do my homework in the kitchen or dining room, because the mess makes it hard to think.
I don't worry about monsters under my bed, because there is no room for them ☺
I spend my morning searching for things in my bedroom or backpack
I often have to sprint to catch my ride to school
My school locker should be plastered with yellow tape and declared a disaster zone
So how many sentences did you check? 0-2: Whew! You've got it together. Doing great! 3-4: Your stuff is starting to sneak up on you. Take control now. 5 or more: Crisis alert! Climb out from under your piles and take a deep breath. You can get organized. The trick is to start small.
Ever heard of the term "writer's block"?
If you have, great. For all of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, here goes: writer's block is when you sit down to write and try really hard, but you just can't. Can't. No way, no how. Your mind and brain are just on blank. It can go on for days, months, or even years.
I had writer's block today.
I tried to think of something to write but nothing would come! And, boy, I wanted to write really badly! I ended up just making some doodles on the page instead of the journal entry I was supposed to give in the next day. Whoops!
Anyway, as I was sitting there with a bad case of Writer's Block,I started to think that a really good journal entry would be... to write about what I'm dealing with! So, here I am, writing about writer's block. Hmm. Not so interesting. Well, at least that helped me get over my writer's block. YAY! One major life problem solved! Just joking....☺ Keep in touch, Tammy
