Idioms

By Anonymous -
POTATOES!!!!! pardon me. An idiom is something that is not literal. I love idioms. They make no sense and yet they do...It's kind of hard to explain. There is a sort of curious magic to idioms. Here are some awesome, well interesting at least, idioms we use in our everyday lives:

1. A storm in a teacup. =a big fuss about something unimportant

2.Pardon my french. =sorry for cursing

3.Fish out of water.=being uncomfortable in an unfamiliar surrounding

4.More holes than swiss cheese. (I think you'll like this one Annie, since you like cheese. A lot. Cheese is nice.)= something that has a lot of problems

5.As sharp as a marble.= someone who perhaps isn't very clever.

Quick question:
If you look you cannot see me. And if you see me you cannot see anything else. I can make anything you want happen, but later everything goes back to normal. What am I?

 (I found this riddle online. It's a good one.)

200th Post

By Anonymous -
Everyone likes posting.  I think our most committed blogger is Jessica Gan, closely followed by A Peculiar Sort Of Author, then Beyourself_Xy, Elliethatnerd, Awesomeness Burrito (Who only has 11 posts), Xuan Pan, Tiff_Awesomeness, Ada Lee, and Annie Jakes-McKay. I want to say thank you to all of our readers and commenters, people who subscribe and laugh, and most of all, I want to thank my fellow bloggers for making this blog an enjoyable atmosphere. I just want you bloggers to know: Milestones are not resting places. It means, once we have reached 200 posts, we don't have to stop! And readers, if you count all of our posts, and realise that there are less than 200, I'm counting drafts as well.  Hahaha!  ðŸ˜ˆ  ðŸ˜¡ ! I dare not post this afterwards, because someone else will post the 200th and it won't be this post. This post is kind of bad. I really want to thank everyone for their support, and everything!

I Have No Idea What To Name This Post

By Anonymous -
The mist hung over us like a blanket, it's cold fingers probing the goosebumps on our arms.  Clumps of heather stuck out of the ground.  I was furiously polishing my glasses; the vision through them was distorted and unclear.  The mist, again, the heavy atmosphere it created, digging into my thoughts no matter how I tried to remove it. Having already shouted myself hoarse, I curled up into a tiny ball, pretending I was in the warmth of my cosy and comfortable home. The girl looked so helpless, unable to rise from the earth.  The mist was relentlessly pelting against us, so I felt the need to help her. A form appeared out of the swirling mist.  It seemed ten feet tall, but I'm sure it was anything but.  The form bent over me, I could now see that it was about my height.  Still, I couldn't help but cringe away from anyone touching me.  I can't remember the last time I let someone willingly touch me.  It seemed like such a long time ago....

How to study smart

What is studying smart? Studying smart doesn't mean studying hard, it means that you make the most use of your time, and get the most out of it.   There are many ways to make the most use of your study time. Here are a few tips and tricks of how to study smart: You have to have at least 8 hours of sleep   Sleep is incredibly important. Without 8 hours of sleep or more, your body wouldn't function properly during the day. You will feel sluggish, and very sleepy. However, if you are one of those people who can sleep for less than 8 hours and you don't feel any of those things, you are welcome to sleep for less than 8 hours. The view in front of you when you study should be a plain colour  I don't know about you, but, I simply cannot study when there are very bright colours, or lively patters in front of me when I study. It is better to have a plain white, yellow or blue wall in front of you and not any bright colour that can disturb you, like, bright ...
