How to finish papers quickly...

                                         Todays topic was requested by one of my readers and I hope this will help many of you guys and thank you for suggesting this topic! As I mentioned before in one of my previous posts, I used to finish exams very quickly and in A/Ls chemistry paper I even did an extra essay question (both of physical chemistry questions + organic chemistry). Now how do I do that? It's through practice. There are certain skills that you need to have to be able to finish quickly and give correct answers quickly at the same time.  In an exam people waste most of their valuable time by thinking which questions to do. By the time you figure out which questions you are gonna answer, you have already spent more than 10 minutes. First thing is to avoid that. Especially in exams like A/Ls you know what are the essays that are going to be there. So pick your questions at home! not during the exam! For an example in a chemistry paper I always answer organic chemistry que

What I learned in my 20's

I have spent more than half of the second decade of my life and one thing I learned was that the life changes rapidly after 20. Suddenly you get a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders and it may seem like everybody else have figured everything out and you are still the same old you. If you are feeling the same, this is for you.  

How to stay focused during online lectures/ classes

                                             As the new norm in many countries, including Sri Lanka is the online education I think it is important to talk about this topic. Even though it is a bit too late to write this I thought of publishing this anyway. So let me get things straight. You sit behind your computer and in your very cozy room and teacher cannot see you. There are many things that can go wrong in a situation like this. You can watch tv, you can eat, you can even be sleeping and the teacher will not notice. As students we need to optimise the time we have and use it to the max. So now I will point out shortly what we can do to concentrate on the lecture/class. 01. Have your meals and trips to the toilet before the lecture. This is important because one trip to the kitchen may take hours!  02. Make sure you have everything you need on the table including a bottle of water and even a flask of coffee. Again saving trips to the kitchen! 03. If possible, get the lecture notes

How to stop procrastination- A/L edition

  Like I always say we all procrastinate. Nobody can be productive 24x7 throughout their entire life time right? For Advanced Level student the consequences of procrastination is life changing as the exam will most probably decide the path of your life for a next couple of decades. (I am not saying your entire life depends on this, but we don't need to look at our past and regret, do we?) So today let me tell you about how to minimize being lazy and get work done, 01. Remove all the distractions and focus on goals. I'm very serious. Do not get yourself into relationships... (I am not against those. You can have a one if you are good at not texting/ day dreaming 24x7 about that person. Most of us are not, so if you can't control yourself then it is better not to get into a relationship this soon.. The world is not gonna end y'all. There are so many nice guys out there.) Be independent. The way I say it is this. Imagine all your friends, relatives are all gone and there i

How to lose weight!

     I'm a person who doesn't judge people depending on how they look, but we all are not the same. Sometimes we have our own standards for our bodies and sometimes there are people who bully us into thinking that we look ugly. Whatever the case is, this is for people who are trying to lose some weight. I was struggling with weight for years.. I was called names and being compared to other people. I tried many different things, had cried myself to sleep and hated for being stuck in a very stubborn body. Today I am in the body I always wanted. The kind of body everybody dreams of (this feels like bragging, but hell yeah I earned it... So). So I thought of openly talking about it.

Stop comparing yourself!

                                    I'm so sure we all heard of "Everybody has a different timeline" quote. And then we tell ourselves "What a bullshit is that, everybody has this and that and nothing ever happens to me!" Well I am not gonna say we all have different timelines today. But I'm gonna tell you how to get everything you ever wanted by doing just a very simple couple of things. You have to trust the process!
