How To Procrastinate

   It's that awful time in the year again - called EXAMS! 

   Now, as a future psychologist (ha ha, who am I kidding?) and a good blogger I probably should've written here some kind of a guide of how to get through exams and stress out less. BUT NO, I do not know anything about that at all :P. The only thing I can teach you is how to procrastinate, because I am THE QUEEN of procrastination! Hopefully you will get some kind of lesson from this post, and will end up studying :D

   Let's begin!

(Sorry if I'm trying to be funny, it's not really working in the text form. I just watched too much of Jack Howard, so here it goes... Sorry Jack!) This actually leads to the first thing,

YOUTUBE (dun dun duunnn)

Oh the joy of Youtube. Honestly I can spend HOURS watching videos, especially when I have favourite youtubers. And I choose right that day, when I have to study for an exam (which is usually the next day) to watch not one or two, but EVERY SINGLE VIDEO THEY EVER MADE! Just remember, Youtube is a trap! Run from it! (at least during your exams, other time of the year it's a perfect place :P)

FOOD (nom nom nom :))

Ahhh, doesn't food just tastes better when you have to study? It's like calling you from the kitchen (that would've been really weird) and smells 1000x better than usual so you HAVE to go eat it!

Oooh, I also have a great excuse for getting food - I am always hungry when studying. Food and studying go side by side, but usually food wins. Yes I can eat while studying, but come on, don't you need a break (you tell yourself)?! And again you end end up on Youtube, because you were "just getting a little break while eating"!

TWITTER

Of course your favourite band will announce the tour in your city on the day you're studying or writing an essay! Of course your favourite actor (or musician) replies to you or has a Q&A that day!! No, it actually never happens but WHAT IF IT DOES??? That's why you just HAVE to check twitter every 5 minutes. And the day goes by, you haven't read or written anything that you actually had to (not tweets), BUT instead you know that your friend's dog died and that your favourite actor can't fall asleep because of the jet lag. 

WASHROOM

Isn't it just the greatest excuse from studying?? You can't just pee or poop your pants, so you have to go there. And if your parents are like, "where are you going? Why you're not studying?" you just say that you have to go to the washroom and voila, you're free from studying for the next 10-20 minutes :) First you do your stuff there, then you wash your hands, and no you have to wash them for 5 minutes (when usually you don't even take a minute), because BACTERIA ARE EVERYWHERE!!! The you need to get your nails done, because one just might break, then you paint them, and oooh now they need to dry! The magic of washroom :D

There are probably other great things of distraction out there that I just don't remember, but here are the main ones, and as long as you stay away from them (but just don't pee your pants, do go to the washroom now and then) YOU WILL GET THE WORK DONE!! I promise :)

   Hopefully this post was helpful or at least fun, and hopefully some of you will recognize yourselves in some things that you do, and HOPEFULLY you will try to stay away from them, because you really do have to study!!

Don't make same mistakes I (do) did and GOOD LUCK on exams!! 

Xxxx

P.S. You might have noticed a new style of writing in this post :) well, I'm just experimenting with different styles and way to present different topics. Hope you enjoyed it and it wasn't too lame :D

Spring-Summer Fashion Trends

Looks like spring is finally here (even though it's still fighting the battle against winter here in Toronto), so I thought why not make a fashion post (as I love fashion very much so!) :)

I always happen to know the latest trends (even though I might not follow them), plus did a little research on it, so here you go!

I tried to put here types of cloth that would be suitable for many, if not all, types of body and also linked some of the items to the store where you can buy them for a good price (Just click on an item or look and it'll take you to the website). Also, remember that stuff also goes on sale, so wait a week or two and you might save big :) 

This season I would go for something unusual and unique, play with colours, prints and patterns. But let's start with some of the examples of what is currently in trend

SWEATSHIRTS

Sweatshirts were a hit last season and they're still running big this spring and summer. For a girl who loves latest trends or who wants to feel unique - it's a must! What's really charming and nice about them is the pallet of colours, textiles and prints. Also they're very comfortable AND stylish at the same time :) 

DRESSES

Dresses are the joy and fun of summer, and it's all about flowers and softness of colours and textiles. 

This season flowers on your dresses should be big and tropical, colourful and fabulous :) 

Another big hit is lace. It doesn't mean a dress should be made completely out of lace, but a few details on the edges or on the dress work just as well!

BOYFRIEND'S PANTS

What else can I say? May the pants in this season be very comfortable and loose in shape. :D

 

But if you don't like this style, 60's are in fashion again :)

Try these Audrey Hepburn-like pants. It's a classic!

SHOES RULE THE WORLD

Loafers, boots, sandals and classic hills are all in trend this season! There's something for everyone!! :)

General Bits and Pieces of What's Trending 

Pastel Colours everywhere!

Bright but natural colours (no neon)

Big floral (preferably tropical) prints

A la Audrey Hepburn style

A la Chanel (Outerwear)

Pink colour

Combining comfort and elegance, sport and classy (sweatshirts with classic pencil skirt and hills)

And in the conclusion, here I created a few looks that will make you look like the most beautiful girl in the world and who is not only very confident, but also knows her style and what's on trend at the moment :)

Hope this will inspire you for even more gorgeous looks.

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

Have an amazing day!!

Write down my story

Time for some serious topic!

As I mentioned before, I'd also like this blog to be kinda of diary, so let me share what's been on my mind lately, and get these thoughts off my mind.

One of the reasons I started this blog was because I love writing! Maybe I should be a temp secretary like in the 60's? I could be like Audrey Hepburn in Paris When It Sizzles. Work for writers and screenwriters who are lazy to type up their works. 

It's another reason why I like keeping a diary, because I love writing down thoughts and enjoy the process of writing them. 

Yes, I love writing, but it doesn't mean I'm good at it in order to make it my thing. I always thought about working in a magazine (fashion one please) but I know that I'm not at that level! I've took few writing classes in uni, and know my abilities and saw how much better others were. So the best I can do here, is to keep it as my hobby.

I don't even know how to write, let's say, professionally! I don't have my own style of writing and that gut instinct for it. It also relates to that I often think that I'm not good at anything, just don't have any "strengths" or that one thing that I do the best. Seems like I can do a few things good, but not to the max and it's not something that comes naturally.

Then I start thinking that I'm worthless and that I can't do anything right and don't even have at least one thing that I'm passionate about, like other people seem to have.

Then I talk myself to "oh, come on, everyone has that something that makes them so unique and and that time will come and you'll find it". But it doesn't seem to be happening, so thoughts about how miserable and worthless I am flood my mind all over again. See, I ended up in this terrible circle of uncertainty and it doesn't get any better.

Everyone keeps telling (or said so before), that they are/were in an exact same position. So why don't  you write a guide for us, those who struggle too?! And not the "oh, it'll be fine, just work on it and try different things" one, but the real one, that even tells you how to act in order to cope with different kinds of situations. 

It also relates to that "Being 20 (and over)" thing. I just hate to think that life will get even harder in the future! Sometimes I get so desperate I start wishing to be 5 years old again! 

Everyone expects me to act like an adult, but I'm even scared to think about those problems! 

When I was little, I always wished to grow up because thought life will be easier... Oh, how wrong I was!!
