I Need Your Opinion If You Don't Mind... I'm In My Last Year Of Highschool And In Four Days, There Is
I need your opinion if you don't mind... I'm in my last year of highschool and in four days, there is going to be the responses to all the uni I applied to (if they accepted me or not...). And I don't really have a subject or a job that I really like. Don't get me wrong, I'm a very curious person and I'm interested in many things. But my main goal for a job is not my passion or the things that I like. My main goal is financial. So I'll chose my studies upon the salary that it will get me in the future. The thing is, everyone around me is telling me that I'm thinking wrong and that I'll hate my job if I chose my studies that way....idk what to do and I need your help on that. Thanks and I love your blog btw :) sorry if that was too long....
Heyy! :)
Okay so... First of all, congratulations on passing out highschool alive cause I'm serious, it's a huge milestone! Second of all, that is believe it or not, something that I can very well understand and related to.
And it's okay. Like, definitely okay to have a whole different approach for selecting your majors and jobs. Now, I'm assuming you've already have a vague idea about what major you want to choose since you've applied already.
Generally, if you've taken professional majors (medicine/law etc) then the general pay is good and higher than usual but you need to atleast have an element of interest in it since the majors itself are difficult.
If you've gotten into something that pays alittle lesser etc etc then i can suggest you to take up some part time jobs or even gain experience or develop some skills that could be helpful.
Basically, you can take up something with the idea of getting a high salary but try your best to find some amount of interest in it, make sure you won't get bored with it. (And there's absolutely nothing wrong with your pov about choosing based on the salary or pay!)
I personally think that you can experiment with your subjects and the career options cause I know many people that studied one thing and took a completely different career field. And just because you have the idea of only gaining financial security and stability from your major/job doesn't mean you'll end up hating it.
It's not about with what idea you're choosing your major, it's about how you can steer your major according to what you need and like you said, you're a curious person, you're interested in many things so i believe that you'll do good :)
And the fact that most of the time, we come to love something that we're constantly doing. Passion or interest just doesn't arise out of nowhere, sometimes force is important too and not to mention, hardwork.
Whatever you're choosing, with whatever belief, whether passion or with the idea of financial belief, it doesn't really matter because if you have a really good determination to achieve the end goal, you'll find a way to enjoy the process.
For now, I'll stress on the fact that you focus on choosing the major (if you can check what papers you're having in each semester it's better) and then after you choose your major, experiment more, like research about job opportunities in and around the field, develop skills, gain experience, explore because it's all an experiment, isn't it?
I hope you'll be content and happy with whatever you choose and don't really mind what everyone says, if you want something badly, there's no shame in working towards it. I hope i didn't confuse you even more. And I'm glad you like my blogs, i really appreciate it :)
Take care 🎭✨

Hey hello!!!
Do you book recommendations for html or Java??
Hope you're ok
Hey there!
Well, I don't really know any books for HTML. But I do know some other resources for it that might be helpful. [I don't know any for Java. Right now, I'm only focusing on frontend development for now.]
W3Schools: This is the only website I suggest for learning any coding language.

I hadn't gone to school for the past two days because of some cold and allergy but i didn't really miss alot. Today was fully catching up on what happened etc etc... I'm even participating in a type of a debate competition, first time doing something like this but I'm trying to push myself out of my comfort zone and speak up alittle, you know? I don't know if I'll get selected but atleast I tried...
Today i:
Completed like 20% of a lesson in computers
Prepared for debate
Nothing else really...
I literally love the above quotes xD Some of my favourites are:
• In a world where there is so much to grieve and so little good to take, i grieve nothing, i take everything
• The truth is a painful reminder of why I prefer to live among the lies
• Ignite, my love, ignite
• To the world she is formidable ... To me she is the world
• You should get a dog love, I hear they share much the same qualities
• Books are easily destroyed but words will remain as long as man can remember them.
• I want to be your bestfriend you fall hopelessly in love with
• My heart is yours. Please don't ever give it back to me
I can go on and on but seriously that guy RAISED OUR STANDARDS and i can't find myself to lower them T-T (I'm fangirling xD)
Hii... I just wanted to say...
I'm also a HUGE Aaron Warner/Shatter Me fan !!! So, I'm just curious which is your favourite quote of his?
(hope it's okay to ask about this)
HIII omggg hello fellow Aaron Warner/Shatter Me fan!!! so nice to meet youuu and yesss ofc ofc it's absolutely and most definitely 100% okay to ask because i can go about this topic all day soooo yesss!!!
okay so, i have 4 fav quotes, 3 from Aaron and 1 from Juliette!!
“Do you never get exhausted being so wholly unbearable? You have as much charisma as the rotting innards of unidentified roadkill.” — By Aaron in Ignite Me, when Adam was irritating him and trying to stop Juliette from going with him.
“Such unfortunate language. Only those who cannot express themselves intelligently would resort to such crude substitutions in vocabulary.” — By Aaron in Unravel Me when Adam called him a sick piece of shit.
“hell is empty and all the devils are here” — Aaron's tatto
“Words, I think, are such unpredictable creatures. No gun, no sword, no army or king will ever be more powerful than a sentence. Swords may cut and kill, but words will stab and stay, burying themselves in our bones to become corpses we carry into the future, all the time digging and failing to rip their skeletons from our flesh.” — By Juliette in Ignite Me when Adam is being very rude to her.
what about you!! which is your favourite??
Epitaphs.
Don't ask me why xD

Quick ! Think of a word you like !
Not necessarily your favorite word, it doesn’t even have to be a word you usually like ! Just a word that right now, at this moment, you look at and think “ooh what about this one”.
It can be a word you find funny, pretty, strange, scary, anything really ! You don’t need to tell me why you choose that word (though I’d love to know if you want to tell me), just give me a word !
(It’d be lovely if we made this into a chain but there’s no pressure <3)
uhhhhh sanguine? (literally the only word that popped up into my head rn but it’s prettyyy and sounds like summer to me in some inexplicable way 😌✨)
oh sure!

I had embarrassed myself infront of 7 teachers and one of my classmates while they were practicing for debate and gosh I got so anxious and ended up forgetting everything, I didn't even complete the first line and then bamn, i couldn't speak anymore and i, myself just went to the teacher in charge and told her I won't join... She sighed and seemed disappointed but...
Despite the embarrassment I faced today, i signed up for another competition where you're "fighting a case" ... Yes, i know. I like torturing myself T-T but I do feel good about atleast trying even though I did so bad and couldn't even get out a word, i did try it. That's all the matters and one of my goals this academic year was improving at public speaking, I've been trying to take every opportunity that is equally challenging and alittle comforting... So... Yeah...
Today i:
Prepared for the competition
Did accounts sums
Completed 2 topics in economics
(i really hope I get selected for the competition...)
Eid Mubarak !! ❤️❤️
تَقَبَّلَ اللهُ مِنَّا وَمِنكُم
Taqaballahu minna wa minkum
When your "I'm only comfortable with people i know" type of person is interpreted as "I'm too good for everyone and everything except those whom i approve of" like, no no no, i really wanna participate in the parties and dancing and your fun activities etc etc but in front of everyone ??? Nah I'll pass. Just let me sit in peace and enjoy the damn event.
Using multiple senses for studying
So, what do I mean by using multiple senses? These senses usually employ in multisensory learning as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile – VAKT (i.e. seeing, hearing, doing, and touching)
Some may like to say the words out loud, some may like to hear them and many would prefer to write it down, some like getting hands on work and of course, depending on how you learn, they'll work for you but recently I've been using this method to study and it's so damn helpful.
The method I use is something that is applicable to mostly all subjects except maths and other subjects like physics or chemistry .
All you have to do is first you'll read the content then by looking at the content, you'll make notes about it. Draw small doodles related to it or draw a cycle of the content. Visualize the material! Then, you'll listen to the lecture notes or any videos about the content. And write more notes about it if you've missed any points! Then when you get the grasp of the material, you'll close the notes and you'll explain it to yourself aloud. Your voice needs to be loud and clear so you can hear it yourself. Then repeat! The more times you repeat explaining it to yourself, the better. Do it until you feel like you know the material well enough!
How does this help?
It uses the three main senses used for studying together which creates stronger connections in the brain
You're likely to remember the content for a longer period
Information will come rushing back in a matter of minutes if you had paid attention to it.
It helps you to remember main keywords easily
Enhances creativity
Is an active study method so you need to pay attention otherwise you won't be able to do this.
Hope this helps! Feel free to change this according to your needs. These methods can be experimented with! :)
