I'll be posting a weekly reading challenge later on, like cause I wanna actually see how i complete it xD
"You've prepared the whole year for this. Don't let it go to waste." "I can and I will." "It doesn't matter how hard it takes to reach my goal." "It doesn't matter if the other person is more talented than you. There's no rule for them to work more harder than you." "You can wake up anyday and decide to change the person that you are." "Who cares if I'm pretty if I fail my finals?" "One day, you'll leave this world behind so live a life that you'll remember." "If it's a million to one. I'm gonna be that one.” "You can't be perfect. No one can. But you can try to be the best." "Failure is a part of success. Use it in the best way possible." "You are more than capable of handling yourself and your textbooks." "Study like you haven't prayed and pray like you haven't studied." "You came this far only to come this far?" "There is no way I'm going to come back with something I don't like." "Study because learning is better than being ignorant." "Grades aren't everything but they do make your life somewhat easier." "I know more than i think I do." “There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.” "Progress > Perfection." "You're doing this for you. Only you. Don't forget that."
End Of School Life
I'm curious because i just completed my whole school life and i literally feel relieved but most of my classmates were hugging each other with teary eyes so...
It's funny how most of us would rather read study and productivity tips/quotes than actually studying or doing work.
Introduction To HTML
[Note: You need a text editor to do this. You can use Notepad or Text Edit. But it's so much better to download VS Code / Visual Studio Code. Save it with an extension of .html]
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
It is used to create webpages/websites.
It has a bunch of tags within angular brackets <....>
There are opening and closing tags for every element.
Opening tags look like this <......>
Closing tags look like this
The HTML code is within HTML tags. ( // code)
Here's the basic HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title> My First Webpage </title> </head> <body> <h1> Hello World </h1> <p> Sometimes even I have no idea <br> what in the world I am doing </p> </body> </html>
Line By Line Explanation :
<!DOCTYPE html> : Tells the browser it's an HTML document.
<html> </html> : All code resides inside these brackets.
<head> </head> : The tags within these don't appear on the webpage. It provides the information about the webpage.
<title> </title> : The title of webpage (It's not seen on the webpage. It will be seen on the address bar)
<body> </body> : Everything that appears on the webpage lies within these tags.
<h1> </h1> : It's basically a heading tag. It's the biggest heading.
Heading Tags are from <h1> to <h6>. H1 are the biggest. H6 are the smallest.
<p> </p> : This is the paragraph tag and everything that you want to write goes between this.
<br> : This is used for line breaks. There is no closing tag for this.
-------
Now, we'll cover some <Meta> tags.
Meta tags = Notes to the browser and search engines.
They don’t appear on the page.
They reside within the head tag
<head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <meta name="description" content="Website Description"> <meta name="Author" content="Your Name"> <meta name="keywords" content="Websites Keywords"> </head>
Line By Line Explanation:
<meta charset="UTF-8"> : Makes sure all letters, symbols, and emojis show correctly.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> : Makes your site look good on phones and tablets.
<meta name="description" content="Website Description"> : Describes your page to Google and helps people find it.
<meta name="author" content="Your Name"> : Says who created the page.
<meta name="keywords" content="Website's Keywords"> : Adds a few words to help search engines understand your topic.

This is my first post in this topic. I'll be focusing on the practical side more than the actual theory, really. You will just have some short bullet points for most of these posts. The first 10 posts would be fully HTML. I'll continue with CSS later. And by 20th post, we'll build the first website. So, I hope it will be helpful :)
If I keep a coding post spree for like 2 weeks, would anyone be interested? o-o
What to do during breaks? (as in no school)
In terms of preparing for the next semester or year…
Hey Anon! :D
How To Productively Use Time During Breaks For Preparing
These are some tips that I've used after experimenting with a lot of things
___________________
Not More Than 2–3 Hours
I recommend this because you have a high possibility of burning out during school weeks if you even study during breaks. So, this is why just three hours is more than enough. Spend your time enjoying too.
Concentrate On Basics
This is one of the best ways to spend your breaks. If you're weak in a particular subject [Mine was Accounts], I spent my summer and my term breaks strengthening my accounting basics.
It helped so much when school started because everyone was trying to catch up on the advanced topics, but I could straightaway start with the year's materials. So, build your basics or revise that year's topics. Most of the subjects are just built in layers. So if you learn something in junior year, then it will likely appear in senior year but a bit more advanced.
Watch Concept Videos [Basics or Coming Term/Semester]
You could go through the syllabus for the next term or year and, based on that, watch videos related to that on YouTube. You can first go through the coming year's topics, and then you can decide if you're confident with new topics or if you still haven't figured out the basics. But these really help.
Prepare Cheat Sheets In Advance
If you get your hands on the coming year's textbook, then go through the chapters and write all the formulas or theorems [Shorten them]. Those are your cheat sheets for the whole term/year. Great for revision. You can even start practicing with this, but it's good to have these cheat sheets.
Complete Language Papers
I had two languages all throughout high school. And this trick always worked for me. A week before school starts, I'd literally sit and complete reading through my English and Arabic textbooks. I didn't do the exercises, but I completed all the lessons and sometimes even had short notes of the story ready. It doesn't take much time to complete your language syllabus. I always recommend this.
Tackle Your Grammar
Take it a step further [if you want] and revise or learn new grammar topics. I say this because, honestly, grammar takes some time to soak in, so by the time school starts, you'll have confidence with your language papers. Which honestly makes your work easier in the long run.
Improve Math [If You Have A Number Based Paper]
If you have any paper that is number-based, then work on your mental math. Practice with it. It helps during exams and saves a lot of time. Literally. Especially if you're not allowed to use a calculator. Memorize the square and cube roots from 1 to 10. Or anything else that matters.
_______________________
Do take time to rest because, honestly, this is the time you'll get to rest. So, enjoy too xD
Other than that, I hope this helps you :)
Day 5 [Lists In HTML]
This is a super simple guide for lists.
Line By Line Explanation:
: Used for unordered list
: Used for each item in the list
: Used for ordered list.
Unordered lists will display the list items in bulleted or any other symbol that you specify
Ordered lists will display the list items in numerical order or any other order you specify.

Hope it helps :)
Goals For This Year
I know I'm like 3 months late but I was waiting for the academic year to end so right now I'm fresh out of high school and obviously my priorities look different now so let's get down to it. Last year's goal post is here
It's almost the same for a few things. Some of my goals are standard so let's go
Personal:
Finish Quran at least 2 times
Memorize Juz 30 and half of Juz 29
Sleep and wake up at the same time everyday (5 am and 11 pm)
Exercise everyday
Maintain good mental health
Pray Tahajjud everyday
Get experience in data entry (I got myself a small gig every week so I guess it's good)
Figure out college
Academic:
(I'm not really taking a content heavy course so this is going to be a short list)
Maintain good grades in college semesters
Search for courses and internships
Extra curriculars:
Brush up my Arabic, especially speaking skills
Maintain this blog
Get into some frontend development
Open up a business
Improvements to be made/Fields to explore:
Confidence in speaking
Finance management
Frontend development
Arabic speaking fluency
So, if you noticed, compared to last year's goals. This year is pretty low . One main reason? I'm done with high school so obviously I don't have any long list for academics, i just want to build something stable so i guess this is something i'm working with. I don't want to pressurize myself into getting perfect grades in college because let's be honest, the degree doesn't count. It's the things that you do outside of it.

Thanks for the tag! :D
Tagging: @girlwithherheadinthestars @valiantcoffeelove @wandering-whisperer @gajina @ros3ybabe @desi-girll and @-anyone-who-wants-to (no pressure)
Thanks for the tag @theparisianowl ! 💗
Rules: make a poll with five of your all time favourite characters and then tag five people to do the same. See which character is everyone's favourite.
This is hard.
No pressure tags: @kaaaaaaarf @winryrockbellwannabe and anyone else who'd like to do it!
A reminder to everyone who feels overwhelmed. It is okay. It's okay to be nervous because of the work overload. It's also okay to be overwhelmed by the work you had to do but procrastinated. It's okay. It's going to be okay. Start now and everything will be okay. It's better to complete atleast half or quarter of the work then not do anything at all.
