How to survive at the end of session (final blog post)



With the end of session that happens, students are particularly nervous. They think that they won’t have the time to finish what they need to do. They don’t have any time-out and all the teachers put their work at the same time. The students search how they will go though the amount of homework they have. Everybody can see on Facebook or another social media than students are upsets and exhausted by this situation. As students too, I suggest you few advices to successful calm down and go though the tons of work to do.

1-      If you like sports, you can do many activity like swimming, run, basketball , weight because it’s prove that sports eliminates stress and nervousness.  

2-      Do some activity with your friend or boy-friend to change your ideas as seeing a movie, eating in a restaurant, going to bars or something like that. Don’t forget to laugh because it’s a phenomenon that has a positive effect on stress.

3-      The evening before going to bed, take a hot bath to relax and unwind. You can add essential oils live lavender to increase efficiency.

6-      If your boyfriend or your girlfriend has a talent for massage, you can ask them that you do one to relax and breathe.

7-      For those they smoke, it’s not a good way to reduce your stress; you need to stop for this moment.

Occupy movement (post#4)

Today, I will talk about a specific subject that is popular now in the social media. This subject is ''occupy mouvement''. For people who don’t know what is this international group, it’s many people who protest against social and economic inequality back to government and financial services. This movement started at Kulua Lumpur followed with New-York and San Francisco. And actually, there are more and more group that protest for different things in many countries and cities. In Canada, the first group was ‘’Adbusters’’. The majority of the protesters group uses this political slogan: We are the 99%. All the decison that have been taken by the group follow the democracy and there are appouved by the general assembly of this movement.


I find that it’s a good idea to create a group like this one to protest about different things we don’t agree with but sometimes it’s going too far. I think that everybody can says their opinion and want to do something to change some situations if they do this in appropriate way that is to say don't use violence and don't break something. If you respect that police don't have the right to arrest you because you show that you don't agree with something. There has been many violence actions like lagging road and hitting police man so it's for these reasons that police and government don't accept manifestations and this form of protest. It's true that there are many things in the actually model of democracy that it need to be revised but you need to be realist because there are many things that nobody are able to change. You must consider all the aspects. You must also try to understand why government do that and what is the solutions you have for them before claiming something. Finally, it's a great solution to imporve our society if it's made in a good way.

What is your opinon about occupy movement?
Are you for or against this kind of group?

a hard choice... (post#3)

In four months, all the students who want to go at the university next year, will have a hard choice to make : Where am I going ? AND Which programs would I like to do?

It's not easy make a choice than affect us for our future life and to imagine what we will do for much of our lives.


When we were a child, we start thinking about what you want to do but it's still too early to make a choice. We want to be an astronaut, a firefighter, a teacher, a policeman and a doctor because it's the trades that we see and we found ''cool ''to do. It's always that for every child. I worked with many children and I always ask them about what they want to be and they answer me a profession like those. But there are a lot of professions and programs that we didn't know at this age.
When you're gone to secondary, the variety of business open to us. What makes the choice even more difficult and more pressing. We meet counselors, we make tests to know our personality and trades that go with our personality, we visit the colleges and we did the choice of our college.
In college, the choice is pressing, we have some time to find our future profession. Since I was in school, I saw four conselors and I finally made a choice about my future this session.  I think I spent at least seven career choice before finding it. So, it's great but now I need to choose an university. It's another hard choice because you have to look at what it offers you more and everything. To complicate matters, we can't be allowed wherever we want because many programs are quota and requires a good ranking marks. So, we must start at the begging to find some other things that interest us for a second plan.


I find very bad that when I was young, everybody said to me : ''you can do what you want to do in your life and If you really want it, you can get it. '' But it's not true ! If we didn't have good marks, you can't be a doctor. So, I think it's preferable to say : You can do what you want in the choice you are able to do like with your marks and your intelligence.


In conclusion, it's my day's blahblah. According to me, it's the bigger choice we have to make in our life and it's important to think about that and to make a choice for yourself.


Do you find it's a hard choice?
How many time it took you to find your future profession?

Sugar-free soft drinks are not harmful to health (post#2)

I know this article is not a testing article but I found this subject is very interesting for everyone so I want to talk about that. More it’s an important fact of life that one must be aware of. 


Since the population is more concerned with their health and knows more about the dangers of certain products, food industries benefit greatly by offering thousands of supposedly diets products, that is to say calorie-free. This is the case of diet soft drinks like Pepsi, Cola, Coca-Cola, Coke, 7Up, etc. 


By cons, new products are unhealthy and are not better than regular soft drinks.  Several studies have been conducted to prove problems caused by these products. So don’t believe that «fat-free» and «diet» are synonymous of health.  Of course, the soft drink companies do not speak of these studies, which may affect their image and their profits. They rely instead on advertising to make you forget what you drink.  They showed thin people who drink the product; put a lot of colors, a great atmosphere, all to make you crack.

Many news studies want to prove that artificial sweeteners are bad "interpreted’’ by our brain which causes sugar cravings. So after drinking a can of pop, we want to eat something that contains real sugar. This subsequently increases the problems of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. However, the shelves of grocery stores are filled with varieties of diet. These seemingly "healthy" drinks are full of potentially harmful chemicals and are unfortunately still as popular to the public. The chemicals are artificial sweeteners such as aspartame.
 

In conclusion, if you are a heavy drinker of soft drinks, beware of labels and learn about the product you use because it’s very important for your health. It’s better to change your lifestyle than being sick. 


Here is an interesting article about these drinks so-called "sugar free"



It’s about a girl who found that diet soft drinks in a restaurant are not really without sugar.  She realized than after have drunk a diet soft drink her blood sugar was high. She talks about her experience and what she did after she found that. This article has been written to educate people about possible situations like this one and to warm against the ads for these products.

Volume milion lashes mascara ? (post#1)

This article is for girls of course...
The first product I tested is the Volume million lashes mascara of L'Oréal Paris.
He has appeared on the shelves of cosmetics in the summer of 2010.  The producers sell the merits of this mascara because it has a brush spinner-dosing, which aims to release the perfect amount of product and thus avoid packet. 

They created an ad to increase sales of their product. To have a better success and that people relate to their advertisement, they used a celebrity to promote the mascara. So, the ad was produced with Eva Longoria. The audience of this ad is all the girls who looking for a good mascara to add volume and lengthen the eyelashes. The purpose of the ad is to sell its product and illustrate why it is better than others.
I'll let you look at advertising to let you know the function and properties of this mascara if you don't know the characteristics of it. In advertising, they’ll tell you why this product is so great and why we should try it. Then I tell you what I thing of this product.   


I tested it and this is my opinion on this mascara.
I’ll make a list of strengths and weaknesses that I observed. 

Strengths
- Good performance 
- Beautiful appearance 
- Separates the lashes well
- Makes no lumps through edges that blot the brush 

Weaknesses
- Lumps clinging to the tube
- produced little volume
- Expensive 

So if you want mascara that lengthens lashes and separates them, it's for you. By cons, if you want volume, use another one.

For those who have tried it what do you think?
