my advice to current year 10s, going into year 11:

hey! although i haven't yet received my results, let alone finished my gcses, i have some advice and some things that i wish that i had done earlier on in year 11 to make my gcse process go smoother- i will also do this sort of post for year 9s going into year 10! ---------------------------------------------------- - start early: make all of your resources, as early back as you can, so it's easier for you further down the line - however, don't do what i did and attempt to memorise things in february: there's simply zero point- how are you going to remember all of that info over the next few months? - REVISE FOR YOUR MOCKS PLEASE - i didn't take my mocks seriously, i revised for some of them, but not enough, and i didn't even revise for most of them- for biology i only revised b3 whoops - my mock results weren't great, obviously, but it was still interesting to see that i managed to get a 7 in bio for only doing b3, and yet a 3 in RE for revising only one religion briefly - mocks are a great way to get used to being in the exam hall, which is what all your teachers will tell you; however, i think the main underlying purpose of mocks is to force students to prepare, that way, when it comes to around Feb when you start revising properly, you have some resources already - i honestly wish i revised for my mocks so much, it's probably one of my biggest regrets tbh- if i took them seriously i would at least know where my weakness are - keep alllll papers that your school gives you: they're perfect for seeing where your problem areas are, and it saves you from printing more than you have to - easter half term is a literal blessing- please please please use it wisely - take a break day once in a while- the first day of easter half term, i spent the entire day watching netflix and ... chilling (shouldn't have put those two words together but oh well) i then spent an hour in the evening watching planning videos on youtube to help me plan my half term, which i did shortly after - this leads me onto the next thing- plan every day! i find that when i plan an entire week at once, i just never seem to follow it- i just make to do lists every morning, or the evening before, and tick each thing off as i do it- i make them very specific and occasionally include times- for example, i may have said i wanted to do 17 preplanned flashcards within 45 minutes - use your teachers: get anything you can off of them, and don't be afraid to ask questions and give them work to mark! - don't worry if "you're not stressed enough", it's normal, it happens, and it's a good thing - let your motivation be the hilarious memes on twitter after each exam ;)

after my results, expect wayyy more advice and helpful tips :) be sure to leave me any questions in my ask box too!

(also i'm not back permanently lol i was just bored during one of my breaks)

Try geography, you’ve got it easy. Word of advice for any year eights going into year nine next year: don’t take geography. Worst bloody decision of my life so far

I really Hate Picking My Subjects

I am currently in year 10 (Australia) this is the equivalent to a sophomore, And I need to pick my subjects, it is all so stressful. Teacher constantly pressure you to either take their classes or choose your career path. In year 10, I don’t know what I want to be. I get good grades in all my subjects and so I get so much pressure from all different teachers because I am doing well in their subjects. So on studyblr I decided to make a post, encouraging everyone to choose subjects they enjoy and choose things that make them happy. It does not matter what anyone else wants to do but you. I want to emphasize how it is our lives, and we get to choose what we really want to do. And if you don’t know yet, thats okay! No pressure, don’t let people pressure you to do something if you don’t want to. Message me if you feel stressed I am here for you. Please answer studyblr community and send help/loved to the stressed. Can we please do that?

this happened at school today

me and a few friends were down a corridor on the 1st floor during break when there is a no students rule that means students can only go outside or stay on the ground floor. The people we have to reinforce this are called ‘Spartans’. So, they told us to go downstairs and we didn’t hear them, so they shouted “why are you airing us?”. we told them that we didn’t hear them and since we don’t know slang, they told us what it meant. Then we left the corridor and started going downstairs then the spartans (that were a year below us) had the cheek to call us “likkle year tens”

It's my first day in Year Ten today, with the next two years doing exams. Or there's the option of "falling" out the window

year ten

somewhere after who shot mister burns homer's blue collar-ness became a vehicle for the simpsons writers to make fun of fox voters, and homer stopped being dan from roseanne and turned into a caricature of somebody's republican dad, and the simpsons stopped feeling like a grounded show about a good-natured but naive middle-american working class family, and started feeling like a surrealist hack job cartoon polemic like homer just literally drove his father into kidney failure and then ran away from the transplant operating room to be a merchant marine, what the fuck is this episode even about, that's not homer simpson the theory i had at the time that i didn't have the wiki to go check was that the simpsons writing staff rolled over to younger guys who grew up liking the simpsons, but didn't quite actually grok the show, like if david goyer was writing it or something like it felt at the time like a bunch of young republicans took over the show, and looking back now it feels like it was a new generation of liberals who were making fun of their dads, but either way it's just not the same show as the first seven seasons and i have no idea what the show was like after this point and i didn't watch it in the intervening twelve years and idk if i'm going to now (i mean probably i am, why not) but they just did a 'the gay robots of star wars' joke and nooooope
