Studying daily

a_year_older @a_year_older (636) • Malaysia 25 Jul 11

I have been told quite often that I should study at least 1 or 2 hours everyday. But I never seem to be able to motivate myself to study unless there is an exam or test approaching or there's some homework or assignment to be done...

hinterlistig I find it can be hard. If you organize yourself well and take notes when you can and where you should, just revising for an hour through out the day isn't that hard. Have to catch a bus? study while you're waiting. Eating dinner? study while you...

hinterlistig Well, i'm quite unconventional for someone of my age. This year i'm planning on a dinner party and wine tasting, where I make the meal. Then, as any 20 year old turning 21 will do, go clubbing.

Reality

leasmom @leasmom (101) • Austria 27 Jul 11

Reality - what is reality? Is it a subjective thing? How do you know what it is? I mean I know but there are people who are ill for example and they think their reality true as well as much as we think our to be. I think this...

hinterlistig Why is this in travel... anyways, I suppose reality is a general state of being, or a feeling that most people accept and agree is real. While it could potentially be possible to be living out of reality in a context such as being in a hypnotized or...

Do you collect air miles?

TrvlArrngr @TrvlArrngr (4044) • United States 29 Jul 11

I am a Gold Member with Delta Skymiles and I really like the perks. This causes me to fly on Delta whenever I fly - no matter if I have to take connections. I also join different clubs and websites to earn extra delta miles....

hinterlistig I collect Air Miles but i've never gotten enough to go anywhere. I use them to get freebies for certain things like hotel rooms. I know that there are some credit cards like american express that have an air miles rewards system. You'd have to look into it...

hinterlistig There's already been reports by Canadian government officials in the Conservative party spying on people on facebook. It's ridiculous and I feel like we're sinking lower and lower into 1984 with all this new technology. Big brother is watching us.

Writing Essays vs Writing for fun

hinterlistig @hinterlistig (18) • Canada 28 Jul 11

which one do you enjoy more or are better at? While I enjoy both, I like writing for fun better because you can be MORE creative. I am also better at writing for fun because in essays I am never specific enough. Oops :P

hinterlistig I've read around 30 which is ok. I wanted to read more but I don't think I'll have time this summer considering I have other books to read. 30 isn't that bad for someone who is on the cusp of adulthood! I can't remember the names of the books but I believe all...

Youth hostels, backpackers and campsites

maximax8 @maximax8 (31042) • United Kingdom 28 Jul 11

Sometimes it is great to stay in a dorm in a youth hostel or a backpacker. Then the traveler will get the chance to meet other travelers from other countries. Some backpacker hostels are in simply amazing locations. It is very...

hinterlistig I stayed in a hostel/youth hostel in Marseille, and I found it was actually extremely nice for the price and for the location. While we didn't get to meet any other youth, it was a great experience and I would most likely do it again. I've heard some places...

Are fan fiction and original fiction equal?

Awinds @Awinds (2468) • United States 27 Jul 11

Fan fiction - the writer bases the story off of the work of another writer. A fan fiction writer may employ the universe and characters of another author in their stories. For example, there are loads of star trek and anime...

hinterlistig I don't think it's an original piece of work because it is using ideas that were originally another authors, but I don't see anything bad about it..... even though some fan fiction can be a bit weird haha. I have written some in the past, and I find that it is...

Would you try to forgive a friend who had done wrong to you?

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 27 Jul 11

What if, a friend of yours had done wrong to you before, and now, he/she is in a desperate situation, and she has no help, and no one care about him/her. She got her karma, or maybe he/she deserve it as his/her punishment. Would...

hinterlistig I always forgive, even if someone has hurt me badly, but I will never forget, nor does my forgiveness mean that I will still be their friend. I just find there is no point in keeping up an argument, even if they are in the wrong, for a long period of time. I...

hinterlistig I'm actually very worried about this. I love the convenience of a digital book, however nothing compares to the feel of holding an actual book. And I find that my eyes get sore reading the digital copy. While i think in schools it would be much easier, and...

Reading Classics on your own...

allyoftherain @allyoftherain (7208) • United States 8 Jun 11

I love to read, but I hated the majority of the 'classics' I was forced to read in school. Recently I've started reading classics in the hopes of finding books that I do enjoy. So far I've read The Hobbit (Loved it), Watership...

hinterlistig I honestly love reading the classics. They are my favourite books to read besides historical. I just recently bought Catcher in the Rye and Wuthering Heights. I love shakespeare, and charles dickens. I loved To Kill a Mockingbird, Lord of the Flies, The Great...

Bobbosheaven @Bobbosheaven (10) • Sweden 7 Jul 11

hinterlistig I would say the Master and Commander series, War and Peace, etc. I have a lot of historical books but they're all non fiction! so it's hard for me to recommend historical fiction. Possibly the Philippa Gregory series as well. They are quite good even though...

hinterlistig I live in Canada and the flights here are so expensive. I was looking to go from Ottawa (the capital) to Toronto (where I live) which is about a 4h car ride in the same province and it cost me 500 dollars both ways. it's ridiculous! so needless to say i don't...
