Motivation

I'm sure all of you have experience some sort of fear from being scared of ants, to being scared of failing an exam. Over the past months since I've moved here to Singapore, stress has been building up every day. Since my exams are coming up very soon, I thought that it would be a great time for me to talk about the subject of 'studying' and 'school'. 

A lot of people may have different experiences from school. Some people might find school completely easy, and they get great grades without even trying. I don't understand how someone can do that, don't get me wrong I would love to be someone who has that kind of brain, but not everyone is given one like that. I'm sure a lot of high schoolers like me are facing exams soon, and I know this blog post is going down the more miserable side, but I realised that a lot of you might need some motivation to put the effort in to get where you want to be. I'm not only talking about exams it could be anything, for example trying to lose weight for the summer that could be a goal for you. 

So here are just a few motivational quotes, that I hope will make you smile, or motivate you in some way.


“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

- Gandhi


“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

- Abraham Lincoln 

Has there been something on your mind lately that needs some kind of motivation?

Lifestyle blog?

I know I haven't been active for these past months, and I know thats a crime in blogging world. I have been focused on my youtube channel a lot and trying to grow it, and I really enjoy working on it and making videos every week. Through out these months I've been thinking that I'm going to change the niche of my blog and make it something thats altered to fit who I am. I'm not saying that I don't like fashion blogs or writing about fashion, I just feel that I would enjoy and feel more of myself if I make this blog more interesting to read than just a fashion blog. I think I've been pressured by the look and writing of other blogs to be on their level, but I've realised that I would have a lot more fun if I made this a lifestyle blog and wrote about things I love that are not just fashion.


Just an update on whats been going on in my life. School has been really stressful lately I have exams coming up soon, and as you all probably have experienced the pressure people put on you to just get a good score, a number. I am currently on spring break, which is a relief because I need a break from school and everything. I am going somewhere overseas but I prefer not to say where I'm going. All I'm going to say that it is a beautiful and tropical island. That means lots of reading, swimming and just relaxing, which is an essential for me now.



As for youtube, I recently hit 1000 subscribers and that was a big achievement for me, 1000 might not seem a lot for other youtubers but I'm proud of my self for even getting up to 50. Just the thought of someone clicking on your video and actually watching it shocks me. I never thought someone would give up time to watch one of my videos. Whoever is thinking of starting a channel definitely should, I was extremely scared before but if you enjoy it then I say go for it.

How have you all been?
