Finals! Examination! Test! Words that strike fear and dread into the heart of any student. Many a time the young scholar has turned to ‘intelligent’ methods of achieving a better grade. However not everything is gloom and doom. Here are a few tips to help you score better on that algebra or Spanish test…without the fear of getting caught! Make a schedule The only way to make sure you remember the answers to the tough questions is to make an effort to study them in the first place. Make a list of all your subjects with an estimated time allotted to each chapter or topic. This will ensure that you have completed studying for the subject by a certain date so you can set aside time to play that new videogame without worrying about getting a big fat F in the paper. Reward Yourself Nothing works better than motivation! If you are one of those people who distract themselves by taking a shower or getting up to eat while studying, you are not doing yourself any favors. Tell yourself that you can have that sandwich once you’re done with the first 5 pages of Spanish vocabulary, or take a nap once you’re halfway through a topic. Don’t set unrealistic goals though. Reward yourself according to your cramming abilities. Eat light Diet plays a huge role in your mindset before and after a paper. Healthy eating is definitely preferable to junk although if a double cheeseburger makes you feel comfortable, then you should definitely go for it. It is advisable not to overeat as it could make you feel sick or even sleepy which would definitely not be helpful. Don’t Stress Yourself Out Stress messes with your head; naturally you’re more likely to forget stuff. Stay calm by listening to your favorite music or make yourself a special lunch (again, don’t overeat!). most importantly, stay away from people who make you feel like you have not studied well enough for the paper. There’s also the other end of the spectrum, where there are people who might be hysterical that they haven’t studied well enough. Stay away from these people too, you might get overconfident! Presentation Before writing the paper, make sure that you have at least two pens and a pencil. Depending on the paper you might need extra stationery like a ruler or perhaps a compass. Make sure you carry these with you. Write your answers clearly and legibly marking off the questions when they are completed. This will guarantee that you don’t leave any questions unanswered.

What are the 10 Things that Guys Look for in Girls?
Everyone needs someone who will provide support, become a pillar for their life and provide a shoulder to lean on. No one can live all alone in this world- no matter how strong a person you are. Having a girlfriend or a boyfriend is a great thing. Many people feel that having a partner in life to share your good and bad times is what makes their lives more meaningful, stronger and fun-filled. However, there are some things that a guy looks for in girls. Appearance No matter how much you deny- it is true that appearance attracts men towards women and vice-versa. By appearance it is not necessary that girls must look beautiful or really hot. It definitely does not mean the perfect figure and pouting lips. Guys like it when girls dress up simply with no pretences. They also admire girls dressing up for the occasion aptly. Kindness Guys love it when girls match their physical beauty with the inner beauty. There are girls who may look beautiful on face-value but maybe downright wicked. Guys like it when girls are kind and show compassion. Girls, according to guys are supposed to be gentle and caring. They always like the feminine side of girls. Be You. Guys hate pretence. They like it when you are yourself. It just shows that you have nothing to hide and that your life is an open book for them. Trustworthy A promise is a promise. If you keep your word then it impresses guys much more than anything else. Common Sense Common sense maybe uncommon but your displays of common sense in small things like what to do, what gift to choose etc goes down well with guys. Independence Girls being independent and capable of looking after them means they are reliable. Guys though would like girls depending on them sometimes; they in general prefer girls who are independent and self-confident. Giving Space Most girls prefer guys to be with them always. However, if you let your boyfriend go out and socialize with his friends, it will be a breather for him. This will give both of you space and a break from each other for a little while. Your romance will be enhanced later when you meet after a short break. Compatibility It is not necessary that you must have common like and dislikes to be compatible. You can be exactly opposite and still be compatible. The secret is to forget the differences when you are together. Intimacy You can sometimes make the first move on intimacy. Guys would appreciate that.

Destiny Number 1
People with the Destiny Number 1 are destined to leadership. These people have a strong streak of independence in them. They do things as per their desires and they are extremely self confident and self assured of themselves. They enjoy remaining in a position of power and are bad at handling criticisms and oppositions of any sort. They tend to be unconventional in their approach and have a ready solution for every problem. These individuals are action oriented and seldom will they be seen pondering over something. However, these individuals have a massive ego and a sense of superiority. They lack the lighter side of life. Though they have a great potential to achieve, their negative traits often tend to pull them down in life. Destiny Number 1 is ruled by the Sun.

You Are The One Of My Dreams
You are the one I dream about every night as I sleep,
You're the face I want to see & you're heart I wish to keep.
Your love fills my life with radiance and perpetual glow,
You make my troubles melt away as you kiss me real slow.
So baby take away me to a world I have never been before,
And we will be so happy as each other's lives we explore.
