Why did you fail your exam?

Does 19 or 20 relates to you?

Because I didn't review.

Because I didn't prepare early enough.

Because I don't attend class frequently.

Because the exam is really hard.

Because I didn't understand the lesson well.

Because I dont like the subject.

Because I didn't follow the instructions.

Because I didn't listen during the lesson.

Because my best was not good enough.

Because the exam is not related to the topic discussed.

Because I forgot what I reviewed.

Because I was late in the examination day and didn't have enough time to answer.

Because I crammed last night.

Because I felt exhausted and not feeling well.

Because I cheated in the exam.

Because I avoid studying and procrastinate.

Because I am a bad test-taker.

Because I studied the wrong topic.

Because even when I study hard, I get low grades anyway.

Because my seatmate did not let me copy his/her answers 😂

(Comment down what number/s you relate the most!)

Note: There are times in life when we experience falures not just in exams. When it happens, its time for us to evaluate our mistakes and ourselves on the things that went wrong. Once we do that, we can move forward and live without carrying baggage of regrets on our backs.

Study now, Be proud later

One day, I just woke up that everything was new. I woke up to the fact that I thought what was happening was just a dream. That I do not know that this is the pandemic that envelops our society that forces me, you, and us to be brainwashed. That I used to see only at home studying movies now I experience, and not just all of us.

This is the beginning.

I went out of the house where the old road was full of hangers, full of children, full of people on the road. But when I came out, it was quiet, I didn't see any children playing and making noise. The season has begun where one needs to wear a Face, mask.

I can't imagine, you? Are you ready? With what is happening now? I know, no. We're the same.

That's where I wake up, even if I don't take a bath, I can study, which is where I change because it's hard, hard to adjust to these types of classes.

I browsed the internet, I read "I think, I'm not learning anymore, I'm just studying to pass the requirements". I think it's true, I feel that, The amount of difficulty and I am one of them. But over time, I learned. And I believed that " Education is the key to success " everytime when it come up im my mind, i feel motivated to realized that studying is very important to us, why? Because, education is the powerful weapon for us, key to achieve our dreams. So, I have learned that during this pandemic while studying, you must be always positive, cause if want to learn, you can learn to many ways even it is hard or not. You always need to focus. Do your task, first in school, acad papers and assignments before doing the unecessarry and nonsense things. Set a time, for your acads and for your self! After all you can do what you want. Be proud of yourself! Love and enjoy what you doing now! Don't stress and mess up your life, Never give up, because If I can, you can do it too!!!

10 Examples of How Different Life Was Before The Internet

Before the internet, life was very different than today. Although some things have not changed like eating, other aspects of life then are unrecognizable today.

1. Amazon was just a river

Mention Amazon back then and no-one would ever have thought about an online store. Today, the mention of Amazon will most likely make you think of the store first long before the mighty river — how things have changed.

2. You taped music off the radio

Long before Spotify, mp3's, or peer-to-peer file sharing existed, you had to either save up some money to buy official copies of songs or tape them off the radio.

3. You had to live the house to socialize.

4. Pre-internet dating was very different

5. Encyclopedias, the library, and Encarta '95 were google

6. Web design were exclusive to archnids

Before the internet, many jobs taken for granted today didn't exist. If you'd mentioned you were a web designer, for example, people would look at you strangely. 

7. Mobile gaming was very different indeed

When mobile phones have first released, the idea that you could play games on them was unthinkable. But when the first Nokia came with games like "Snake", it would change the world of gaming forever.

8. Multiplayer games need a table

Who remembers board games? To play multiplayer games before the internet, you actually needed to meet up with friends to play sports or board/tabletop games.

9. People used to send letters not emails

10. Selfies in 90's required sophisticated tech.

Indeed time passes by so fast! Currently we are surrounded by high technology that makes our lives more convinient.

Why Do We Celebrate Halloween?

Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31.

The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. 

In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain.

The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.

Ancient Origins of Halloween

Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, mostly in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1.

This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31 they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort during the long, dark winter.

To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes.

When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.

Written with a pen, sealed with a kiss

If you are my friend, please answer me this

Are we friends, or are we not?

You told me once, but I forgot

So tell me now and tell me true

So I can say I’m here for you

Of all the friend’s, I’ve ever met

You’re the one I won’t forget

You are my best friend and that will always be true

We’ve had our ups and downs, thick and thin we’ve been true

I can’t even explain it, I’m head over heels

I love being your friend, and how great it feels

The friendship we had is so rare to find

We hate to see each other in a bind

We have laughed so hard, and we’ve cried

We feel each other’s pain, if we’re hurt inside

We always can find the right word to say

To help us get through any dreadful day

We have told our darkest secrets with feeling no shame

We’ll tell each other the truth even if we are to blame

I know you as a person, I especially know you as a friend

Our friendship is something that will never end

Right now and, this second, this minute, this day

Our sister hood is here, is here to stay

I don’t have to be with you to know you’re there

We don’t have to see each other to know that we care

I know we could be apart from years upon end

But we’ll still remain the BEST of FRIEND.

If you are going to travel back in time and meet your old self what would you say to her?

"Be more confident, dear. That's the first step you need to take to climb greatest heights. When things gets tough do not doubt yourself and give up. It will be hard from the beginning but you will meet people who will help you grow across your journey

Don't be afraid to try new things, it will be difficult from the start, but you can go through it. Afterall, you will have your moment to SHINE 🌟🌟🌟"

Did you know? Antibiotics was accidentally invented!

📍Before antibiotics, 90% of children with bacterial meningitis died.

📍Strep throat was at times a fatal disease, and ear infections sometimes spread from the ear to the brain, causing severe problems.

It was discovered by British scientist Alexander Fleming. The term antibiotics literally means “against life”; in this case, against microbes.

Often described as a careless lab technician, Fleming returned from a two-week vacation to find that a mold had developed on an accidentally contaminated staphylococcus culture plate. Upon examination of the mold, he noticed that the culture prevented the growth of staphylococci (type of bacteria that caises infection in the body).
