I Don't Care If People Ship Jonsa, But Stop Stealing Content From Jonrya And Somehow Making It About

I lied, put your clothes back on

I'm going to explain to you why Altan, Qara and Chaghan are the characters that were telling us in advance about the end of the trilogy and the trifecta formed by Nezha, Rin and Kitay but we didn't pay enough attention to them

Altan, Chaghan and Qara are the" failed" trifecta

Altan's sacrifice breaks the cycle, paving the way for Rin, Kitay, and Nezha to become the next generation of the trifecta

Each reflects the mistakes of the past: Rin as Altan and Riga, Kitay as Qara and Jiang, and Nezha as Chaghan and Daji, all trapped in the same vicious cycle

In the end, Rin understands that, like Altan, her destiny is to sacrifice herself to break the cycle. Her death, along with Kitay's, leaves Nezha alive and ruling, mirroring Chaghan's fate

In the dynamic of Rin, Kitay and Nezha, it is clear that they represent an echo of Altan, Chaghan and Qara's failed attempt. Rin takes Altan's place as the center of destruction and strength, Kitay represents strategic and emotional stability as Qara did, while Nezha, being the only one left in the end, is a distorted version of Chaghan, the survivor who carries the weight of the world

Rin understands, at the end of the trilogy, the meaning of Altan's sacrifice: not only was it necessary to break the cycle to create something new, but his sacrifice was also an act of love towards her, giving her the opportunity to build a future that he never had. Rin's sacrifice reflects that understanding, breaking the cycle of hatred and revenge that Riga perpetuated in his generation

I know nobody cares and I'm not doing this for fun or something like that. I did something wrong to my best friend, I forgot to say some important things to her related to education. I swear I didn't do it knowingly . I said sorry and she said everything was fine and stuff. But now we don't talk like before, not texting at all. I tried to talk with her but she replied in one word or two. I don't know what to do anymore so I posted funnny things in my story and I rarely put any post in my story but whenever I did that she always replied. I tried that to see if she will reply or not. I posted in my story for 3 days continuously she watched them but never replied. This is the end right. I'm so easy as a person to be left behind and people always did that to me. But every time I moved on. But now, I'm thinking should I even try to make friends anymore. Because what's the point ?! I'm always replaceable.

It’s the only way. If I don’t do it, they will.

The 5 Day Study Plan

So admittedly, I don’t fully know where the idea of the 5-day study plan came from. I first learned about it during a work training, and it instantly made sense to me as it strikes a good balance between studying too far in advance and doing last minute cramming. As I have touched on in previous blog posts, I find the idea of studying more than a week in advance to be impractical and a waste of time as most people will forget most of what they have studied/learned unless they have pre-determined and implemented a really good system of spaced repetition (click here for my blog post on spaced repetition). At the same time, cramming does not work because it leads to unnecessary stress, panic, lack of sleep, and can undermine your confidence going into the exam. Furthermore, many studies have shown that cramming does not allow for long-term understanding/memory, which may or may not be necessary depending on the subject and your future study/career plans.

I prefer study methods that prioritize spending time on what you don’t know, or which designates different amounts of time to different subjects based on your knowledge level and familiarity with the subject. However, in the event that studying that way does not work for you, or if you are truly unsure of what you do and do not know, I recommend the 5-day study plan as detailed below.

Step 1: Break the material into four (relatively) equal chunks. This can be done in any way that makes sense to you. By chapter is probably easiest, but there are other ways that might also work, such as by lecture topic. It may be useful to look at the syllabus, or at your study guide when deciding on your four chunks.  

Step 2: Plan to spend a minimum of 2.5 hours per day studying for this test, if its hard you might need more time, such as 3 or 4 hours, but make sure you prioritize the minimum of 2.5 hours per day for the five days prior to the test.

Step 3: Each day consists of two important steps: Prepare and Review. You should establish 2-3 prepare and review strategies that work best for you, and stick to these 2-3. Here’s a list of ideas to get you started, with my personal favorites in bold.

Step 4: Now you combine steps 1 and 3 to create your study schedule.

Here is an example:

*In order to maximize your 5-day study schedule I would recommend composing the parts/groupings in such a way so that the hardest material falls into part A, and the easiest into Part D.  Technically all of the 5-day study schedule explanations I have read just randomly separate the topics into the parts, but smarter strategies would be separating them by difficulty level, or by how long ago you initially learned that material.

“Stop apologizing. You don’t have to say sorry for how you laugh, how you dress, how you make your hair, how you speak. You don’t have to be sorry for being yourself. Do it fearlessly. It’s time to accept this is you, and you gotta spend the rest of your life with you. So start loving your sarcasm, your awkwardness, your weirdness, your unique sense of humor, your everything. It will make your life so much easier to simply be yourself.”
