La habilidad de llorar sin derramar ni una lagrima.

Hay corazones de cristal, hay almas de papel, siempre habra quien intente rompernos, quemarnos, pero en lo mas recondito de su ser, se encuentra un guerrero que busca salir y que sabra soportar cada golpe y apagar cada llama, por mas dificil que parezca, en la fragilidad se puede encontrar la voluntad, no es optimismo, pero hay que buscar la forma de sobrevivir ante la adversidad, hay gente que tratara culminarnos, no les demos el gusto

Infernal wings

Si me hubiese pedido una cita, le habría esperado con un café.

Enamorarse es fácil. Uno puede enamorarse -sin demasiado esfuerzo- varias veces al día, a nada que se lo proponga y se mueva un poco por ahí; y sí es verano, ni te cuento. Enamorarse no tiene mayor mérito. Lo realmente difícil -no conozco ningún caso- es salir entero de una historia de amor.

I have found someone to write about, and god, i’m so happy

Siempre esperamos que el otro dé el puto primer paso, que el otro se anime y sea el valiente, y nos quedamos en el molde, encerrados a la espera. Porque si te ama te va a buscar como dicen todos, y no! Aveces se ama pero si ninguno se anima a decirlo ese amor muere en secreto.

Y te quedás ahí, pensado en hubiese pasado si lo hubieras hecho, que hubiera pasado si no te ganaba el miedo, la vergüenza, el orgullo.

No les pasa que durante el día están super contentos, luego llega el insomnio, las crisis y mil mambos que les gustaría vivir pero saben que nunca van a lograr nada? No les pasa que cuando llega la madrugada se ponen sensibles y vulnerables a todo?

— His National Anthem from The Immigration Series by Royla Asghar 

and then it was 2am again.

i was sitting there

thinking about the girl

i’ll never be able to call mine

and how i am hers despite that.

i never will understand

how a thought creeps into my head

so easily in the middle of the night.

i miss the shine in her eyes

as she’s trying to figure me out.

well, then it’s 4am again

and i get to forget about her

until the next night.

hard to love

is it so crazy to worry

i am hard to love?

because people come and go.

in the beginning they say

that i am different,

special in some way.

they say their “i love you” too soon.

and then they’re gone.

then i am reminded that i am alone,

that i’ve never had a hand to hold

or someone to look at me with a real smile

for longer than it takes to be left.

Hey guys, so I’m nearing the end of my senior year, and it’s been great so far! I accomplished my academic tasks efficiently and didn’t burn myself out, and I think the main contributor to my success as a student is my organization system. This system has been refined throughout my high school years, but I think now I’ve finally found the most effective methods.

Please remember that this isn’t the only organization system you can adopt; this is just the one that works the best for me, and I hope that by sharing it with you, you’ll gain a new perspective on how to stay organized as a high school student.

The first thing I wanna talk about is my notebook system, which I briefly mentioned in my Guide to Note-Taking.

My notebook system comprises three types of notebooks: the Everything Notebook, the subject notebook, and the revision notebook.

The Everything Notebook

The first stage is in-class notes. I only bring one notebook to school every day. I call it my Everything Notebook, and this is where I write down all of the notes I take in class. This way, I don’t have to lug around six notebooks where I’m only going to use a few pages in each of them that day.

Subject Notebooks

At the end of the day, I would revise my notes and compare them to the syllabus so I know where we are in the learning process. I would then transfer my class notes from my Everything Notebook to my different subject notebooks. This is stage two. I also start to jazz up my notes because I use the notes in my subject notebooks to study for tests.

In addition to my class notes, I include material from my teachers’ notes that they might not have elaborated on, as well as points in the syllabus (I’m currently taking A2) that were only glazed over briefly, or not at all, in some cases. (Note: this does not mean they completely skip a chapter or topic; it’s more like they missed a few bullet points that should be in my notes but aren’t. An example would be if we’re learning about phenol reactions and the teacher forgot to mention the use of FeCl3 as a test for phenol.)

Revision Notebooks

Stage three comes a little later, when exam week is just around the corner. Essentially, I rewrite and improve my notes from my five different subject notebooks into a single revision notebook or binder. (Recently, I’ve opted for a revision notebook because they’re lighter and easier to carry around.)

Because my teachers don’t always teach in the order of the syllabus, the first thing I do is organize my notes according to the syllabus. I would then fill in any other missing gaps in the material that hadn’t been filled in stage two.

When compiling material for my revision notebook, I use as many sources as possible: my own notes, my teachers’ notes, youtube videos, online sites, and my favorite, the mark scheme! I add in some answers from past papers (explanations only, so no calculations) mainly to secure marks. It’s safer to memorize definitions straight from the mark scheme than from the textbook or from handouts. I also do this to ease my memorization, especially for topics that require lengthy explanations. It’s a lot easier to remember the 6 points I need to explain the principles of NMRI than to remember everything in the four-page handout my teacher gave me.

Folders and binders are essential to organizing your papers. Some people keep a single accordion folder for all their papers, but for me it’s just too heavy to carry around all the time. The same goes for subject folders that are brought to school every day.

Instead, my binder/folder system comprises my Everything Folder and my subject binders.

The Everything Folder

The folder I carry with me to school every day is this A4 folder I got from Tokyu Hands. It has 5 pockets, one for each day of the week, so all the papers I receive on Monday will go behind the first divider, and so on.

Some people also keep blank papers in their folders; I don’t because my school has its own lined paper and graphing pads that I keep under my desk that I use if a teacher asks us to do an assignment on those papers. If I do work at home, I prefer to just use a plain A4 paper or a legal pad.

Subject Binders

At the end of the week, I’ll sort my papers into my subject binders. Sometimes I’ll keep some papers in the folder if I think I’ll be needing it the next week. This usually only applies to worksheets because all my teachers’ notes are available on Google Classroom, so I can access them even if I don’t physically have them.

Each of these binders have sections inside them:

This makes it easier for me to revise each subject because I can just take one binder with me instead of a messy folder with everything just shoved in there.

I keep a magazine file for each of my A-Level subjects (English and Mathematics are combined). All my textbooks, revision guides, and subject notebooks are kept here, so if I need to revise one subject, that’s the magazine file I’ll take out.

These magazine files prevent any small things (like my book of flashcards) from being shoved to the back of my bookshelf, or materials from different subjects from getting mixed up.

In my senior year, I mostly plan using this app called Edo Agenda. It syncs across all my devices for free and has all the features I need: a to do list to organize tasks, monthly and weekly calendars to organize events, a journal to organize notes and memos.

I used to bullet journal regularly, but it takes too much time during weekdays, so now I just bullet journal for the therapeutic effects it gives me, and I use an app for organizing tasks and events. Sometimes at the end of each week, I’ll transfer my tasks to my bullet journal and then decorate the page, but again, this is just for its therapy.

Organizing your school supplies is just as important as organizing your papers and notes. With a more organized backpack and pencil case, you won’t waste time looking for your things at the bottom of an abyss.

Pencil Case

I don’t find it necessary to bring so much stationery to school unless I plan on making notes at school (usually during revision week).

Backpack

Because we’re already in the revision term, I don’t really carry a lot of things in my everyday backpack, just the following:

And that’s all for now! I hope this post will help you organize your school life (if you haven’t already) or at least provide some useful insights on some ways to stay organized as a high school student.
