Exams....

It is that time of the year again where Exams start to control people's lives and mostly their grades. For me I have only one exam and yes that is not a lot but it is still an exam which I am very worried about. With exams, comes stress and with stress comes everything you didn't want to act like when having exams but I am going to give you tips about some things you can do to help kick exam stress in the bum!




1. Drink plenty of water
> Drinking water helps keeps your body and brain stay hydrated and helps you concentrate.

2. Eat 3 balanced meals per day
> Eating food gives you energy and gives your brain food for you to then concentrate and keep going for the rest of the day.
> Make sure to have healthy snacks like fruit or oats will help to keep you going till the next meal.

3. Study Breaks
> Make sure to have 10-15 minute study break after 40 minutes of studying. This will give your brain and body time to relax and get ready for the next 30 minute study session.

4. Sleep for at least 7-8 hours
> Sleeping helps recharge your body and brain for the next day and will help you become less tired.
> Sleeping early and waking up early can help you have a full day of revising or working.

5. Don't cram revision in on the day of the exam
> If you do this you are more likely to forget the revision you did on previous days.
> Make sure you make a revision timetable to spread out your revision for your subjects.
> Make sure that the subjects closer to the date have at least 3-4 hours per week and those 2-4 weeks away have less time till closer to the exam date.

6. Do previous/mock exam papers
> This will help you understand what kind of questions will be in the paper you will have.
> To make sure you know how much time you need on each question, do the paper under times conditions to help you plan how much time for each question.

7. Exercise
> Exercising can help keep your body and brain energized, going for a walk or run the day before the exam can help reduce the stress you are feeling.

I hope these tips help you and the exams you take go well. Study hard, get your grades and you will be okay. Good Luck to you all!

The Last Year

So it's a new school year but this time for me, it's different. This year is all about getting the grades to be able to go to University next year. To cherish the memories I will make in the next year. I've started this blog because I love to write and I want to be able to do this weekly. Just touching on what's happened in the week and what's made me smile. Over the past few weeks, I have been on a roller-coaster of emotions. A lot of them were not good feelings and although some of those still remain, I am happy for once. I am happy because of the support I have from friends and family when telling them the problems I have and will be facing in the coming months. It's quite hard when you cannot tell anyone what you really feel when they ask how you are. You don't want to tell them to bring their mood down but you need to talk to someone. But right now, that is over with and i am enjoying the life I have. I am getting help for the problems I am faci

I CHANGED MY BLOG?

Now I know what you may be thinking and that is probably, why is Katy now writing her blog posts on Wordpress? I have been thinking about moving from Blogger for a while now and I saw a Tweet saying they were thinking of moving over to Wordpress too and so I decided to finally do it.  Blogger has been in my life for nearly 2 years and while it is a good site for Blogging, I needed a change and somewhere where I could explore my creativity more as an adult and be able to use a site where I could input my own made creations onto my own blog.  I made my first blog post on Blogger back in December 2015 when I was 17 and now that I'm 19, I knew I needed to make the transition with my blog but I didn't know how and I definitely didn't know when. So no, I haven't changed my blog at all, I have just changed the site where it is hosted. I will still keep my Blogger site up and live for people to see my old posts but this post will both be on my Blogger and Wordpress blogs.

Moving Out: 1 Year On

Now I waited a little bit after the 30th June to write this post (a month basically) mainly because I moved out of halls and into a house and basically I was busy with finding jobs and doing bits on the side and have been very M.I.A with my blog at the moment and I apologise so here is a long blog post about what happened after I moved out and where I am today and how I got here. So I left home (my Nan's house) on the 30th June 2016. That day was so hard for me. Leaving a place I called home was really scary but I knew at that point in my life I had to do it there and then. I waited with a friend and I stayed at his house for a few nights while I sorted things out and where I was going to stay and things like that. I was going to be moving into halls on September 10th that year for University so I had about 2-3 months to figure out where I would be staying and how I would get all my stuff for University with no job and no home. After a few days at that friend’s house, I was abl
