Getting the job done.

As a first year student there are times when I feel like I am struggling and won't be able to get all my work done. It is not easy to write your first essay in university or prepare for seminars if you are not used to it. I had never written an essay where I needed to reference properly or had work to prepare for every single seminar and I never had a seminar where I wouldn't be able to participate if I hadn't done my work. In school you don't have that responsibilty but we are suppose to when we go to univerisity.

I have so far written 6 essays and working on my 7th one and I still find it difficult. I need to sit down, look for sources, take notes, organise the notes and then write it all down again with my own words and analyse it. The problem isn't that I can't do it because I've proved myself wrong many times and written essays that I consider quite successful. The problem is to actually take the time and do it.

Even when you're tired and feel like there is no need to actually study you have to push yourself to do it. It is not worth to wait until the last minute to actually get it done. If you start as soon as you know that you need to do it you will have plenty of time and therefore have time to do other things.

 I spend a lot of time with my friends and doing other things than just studying. Many people, and I have got comments, think that I am a student that is happy with being avarage since I do a lot of other things. The fact is that I'm not. I just use my time the best way and take every moment I can to write on my essay to do it. I start on time which means me being prepared when the due date actually comes.

I know it sounds difficult and I used to wait until the last minute but so far I've done 6 essays and finished them on time and got good results on them so maybe you could trust me on this one. Organise your time. Decide to write a bit every day and you won't be stressed the day before the due date.

To me he is Sméagol

After finishing Lord of The Rings and the Hobbit my attitude towards the books is easy to describe; I'm in love with the books. As much as it is a struggle to get through Lord of The Rings I enjoyed every word of it and the Hobbit only made me like J.R.R Tolkien even more. One thing that made me love the books was Sméagol (Gollum). The character added a lot of entertainment but also food for thought in so many ways. We are constantly thrown between Sméagol and Gollum and the inner fight he has with himself of what he is. The reason for me feeling so connected to Sméagol is probably due to the fact that I believe everyone can relate to the feelings he is going through, especially in the society now-a-days where we often let our urge of having something can lead to us changing our behavior completely. Sméagol is one of the few characters in the book that is not purely good or bad, he switches between the two, in extreme ways. As strange as it might sound, he is just an exaggerated ...

Dear my unborn child

For almost nine months I've been carrying you. When I learnt that I was going to become a mother I was excited, confused and scared at the same time. How would I be able to bring a child into this world where there is so much hatred, war and horrible things happening. Little did I know. I wasn't bringing this child into a world with all that. I'll be bringing you into a world where we are fighting a war against something this world hasn't experienced before. You will be born into a world where hundreds of people even thousands die on a daily basis because of a virus, something unstoppable that has created a world where people are afraid of walking side by side. Where someone coughs and everyone around him moves away. People can't leave their houses without the fear of getting ill. You will be born into a world where no one goes safe. I always dreamt about holding you in my arms for the first time. Your grandparents meeting you and my friends and family seeing you f...

20Chai is over but life continues

2018 has been an interesting year, just like every year. Nothing really exciting has happened this year but I have a very good feeling my next year will be an interesting one. This year I've been working, gone to Eilat, attempted to plan holidays that haven't happened, exercised and basically traveled back and forth to Tel Aviv more than the train (then again that's not too hard since it still doesn't go all the way). However, this year I have learnt a lot of life lessons and what better way to end the year than to dwell in all the things that went wrong. 1. Stay calm! This has to be my first rule because this year I've pressured myself a lot in many different aspects. By pressuring myself I've been also been driving my friends insane. Things come at the right time and sometimes staying calm will make things so much more worth it. Staying calm is also extremely important when arguing. As everyone most likely is aware of, arguments happen and sometimes over th...
