Hermione Granger is my favourite fictional character of all time as well as one of my biggest inspirations. I thought I would share the lessons she has taught me throughout my 39 times of reading and re-reading the Harry Potter series in hopes that you could learn a thing or two as well! It's cool to be smart  Hermione Granger is not afraid to show off her intelligence, and this is something that everyone should take in stride. Being one of the protagonists of the Harry Potter series, Hermione gets the main trio out of countless bouts of trouble using her brains and the knowledge that she's gained from reading more than the average person. How cool is that?! She's top of every class and works hard for it which is an example I strive to follow. Stand up for what you believe in Hermione is not afraid to voice her opinion on the matters that she deems important. In her fourth year at Hogwarts, Hermione starts an organisation by the name of the Society for t...

So I'm in high school (we call it college here) and I love answering questions, so I thought this would be the perfect thing to share with you guys! I tag anyone and everyone who wants to do this tag. 1. What grade are you in?  I'm in my second year of high school which is year 10 in New Zealand, but 9th grade in America and other parts of the world. 2. What is your favourite subject? English 100% although Philosophy is a close second. I've always loved to read stories and create my own which is why English appeals to me so much, however Philosophy is great because I love to extend my mind and challenge myself during thinking processes (and I think a lot). 3. What cliques are there in your school?  There's not many. Most people just hang around with whoever they want, but there's definitely a "popular" group. Other than that, the groups in my school are pretty diverse which I'm very glad for. 4. Which clique or group are you in?  As I ...

With heaps of people heading into back to school season and the rest of us still at school, I thought it was definitely appropriate to write up an ultimate school checklist! I actually forget everything when it comes to packing for school and I wondered if you guys have the same problem, so after writing up this checklist, I decided to share it with the internet in hopes that I can save some poor soul from forgetting their entire pencil case like I do at least once a week. The Checklist  Pencil Case:  Writing utensils (pens, pencils) Pencil sharpener  Rubber/eraser/correction tape Colouring pens and pencils  Highlighters  Markers  Stapler/hole puncher  Tape Glue stick  Ruler/protractor USB  Sticky notes  Scissors  Compass  School Bag:  Pencil case Lunch/money for lunch  Exercise books  Timetable  Laptop/charger  School ID  Planner  Binders/dividers/folder...

But all things should be done decently and in order (1 Corinthians 14:40)  I have a pretty busy life. Between juggling dance, singing, church, cello and school work, I don't have a lot of free time to procrastinate. I have to be on track every single second. Unfortunately for me and I'm sure for a lot of people as well, I'm prone to procrastination. Unlike most people however, my procrastination is out of hand. I can't help it! If I stray from my schedule for even one minute, I may as well give up and watch how to stop procrastinating YouTube videos as a form of procrastination (which I'm ashamed to say I do). Back on topic though, I love organizing things. It helps me stay motivated and on schedule throughout my day and I think I've got it pretty sussed. Here are some ways you can keep your life organised and in turn, stay on track.  1. Clean your room and keep it that way I know, I know, you've heard this one before, but I seriously c...
