It's Getting Warm

 In Michigan, I feel as though we are the last to get the warm weather. My friends from Ohio that I’ve made at school have been posting the 70-degree weather they are enjoying while I am

inside in the warm because its 40 degrees outside. Well, lucky for me and my fellow Michiganders, it’s beginning to warm up here. All last week into the begging of this week, I’ve been spending my quarantine days at my neighbors (Madison) hot tub hanging out. She’s a senior in high school this year so she’s enjoys the company during this hard time. 

As we’ve been hanging out in the, what we think, is hot weather (AKA 50 degrees) we have been trying different tropical drinks and snacks to really make us feel like were in the midst of summertime in *southern* Michigan. 
 
I’m going to share our two favorite things we’ve tried so far. 

Coconut smoothie – coconut milk, coconut, frozen: banana and pineapple, honey, and cinnamon
Sunshine smoothie- vanilla almond milk, frozen: banana, mango, orange, and pineapple

We’ve also made it our sole duty to find the best iced coffee in Monroe, Michigan. In the lead we have Dunkin’ Donuts, but I won’t lie, I also really enjoyed our local café’, The Mitten’s, iced coffee as well. 

Madison and I will continue to try snacks and drinks and I’ll keep you updated on how things are. I was even going to make a YouTube video, possibly, and taste test/show you guys how to make some of our favorites!

    I am loving the warm weather and I'm glad you're enjoying your time at home with the weather. I love smoothies so I'm going to check those out. The sun makes everything better and it is really helping with this whole quarantine life.

Good Studying Habits

Studying can be a struggle but I’m hoping some of these ideas can help you focus better and retain more information faster.  The first thing you’re going to want to do is take a learning styles test. Click here to take it.   Based off of your results you can change your studying habits to work well with how you learn. For example, I am a visual learner. I make my notes very colorful and draw diagrams and tables, I also learn more efficient if I re-write what I’m studying.  You can also take a few different approaches. If you’re in class and learn a concept for the first time that you think you understand but wish you could hear it again or even re-worded, go on YouTube and watch a crash course over it. They have a lot of videos covering almost anything you learn in class.  You can also make a Kahoot or Quizlet to study off of. I don’t use this method personally, but I have a few friends that do it and swear by it. If you’re looking for a new way to study, then I suggest t

How to Keep Yourself Busy While at Home from School

We all know what pandemic the world is in right now and were soon to be stuck to our homes. Away from school, friends and sports, I’m sure you’re asking, “what do I do now?”. Since I’ve been home the past few days and spent the first online schooling day in my room, I realized how much goes on at school and how little happens in my hometown of Monroe, Michigan. Knowing that I’ll need to occupy myself until the end of the school year as at home, now, online student, I’ve come up with some things I can do make time pass until this whole craziness is over.  1.       Personally, I already have a YouTube channel, so I’ll be able to post a lot more, more often and better content. For you, however, if you dint have one already, you can start a YouTube channel or begin a quest to become TikTok famous 2.       When I was at school, I was always using the excuse “you’re too busy to workout”. Well now I have nothing but time on my hands and I can no longer use this excuse. G

Final Week Stress Help

Image
Currently I am writing this blog during dead week, the week of stress and preparation for the hell week to follow. In five days, I will be doing nothing but exams and crying over the unknown answers and lack of time to cram in my last-minute studying. Luckily, because schools have been shut down for Corona, we all have an advantage this finals week. Unfortunately, we do still have the finals though and it still can be stressful. As the last two weeks of the semester start to fly by, you realize all the work you have put off till the last minute is getting in your way of studying for your exams.  My tip for last minute freak outs at the end of the semester is to PLAN. Sitting down with a blank piece of paper, planner, or calendar and simply figuring out what day things are due and what days you can do the work can make the stress nearly disappear. Looking at a long to do list versus breaking up the to do list into days and planning what time to do the work can definitely make a dif
