Teen Talk- feelings during quarantine

-

Hello readers! I know I don't usually start out my posts like this, but this post (if you couldn't tell by the title) is a little more personal, and I wanted to talk directly to you! I know that many of us have been feeling confused and having a lot of other feelings during these 'uncertain times', and I wanted to show you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE! So many other people are feeling the same way, and I wanted to express that in this post! Comment down below if you have felt any of these before!

Frustration: This probably sounds familiar to many of you. The fact that there's nothing we can personally do to stop this pandemic is quite frustrating. I know that I have personally been counting down the days for this horrible year to be over1 Although the start of a new year will not automatically cure anything, hopefully the new beginning will give a fresh look on everything.

Loneliness: After being at home for, what, 9+ months now, we are definitely starting to feel a little closed in. Even though there's good reason for not being able to go anywhere (safety first, right?), it's inevitable to feel a little lonely.

Excitement: I know, I know, I probably sound like I'm contradicting myself, but I know that I have personally felt too excited for the littlest things. Has anyone else felt like screaming because you get to go to a store? I also act crazy from time to time because of the bottled up energy in me... anyway, let's move on to the next one before I embarrass myself too much.

Inspiration: Although we are starting to get bored from all of the alone time, I admit that I was able to use that time to inspire myself to take on new projects! I started knitting a blanket, started creating videos of myself playing covers of songs, and found my favorite songs and singers!

There are probably a lot more words we can use to describe quarantine, but these are some of the big ones that come to my mind. 

If you feel you need to speak to someone and express your feelings, that is perhaps the best thing to do. Seek out a friend, parent, cousin or maybe a teacher who is willing to hear you out and help you overcome any frustrating or lonely thoughts and cheer you up.

    Everything you said in you’re post is all very true!! It has been really hard for me to do my choir on a zoom. It is definitely quite difficult to engage, and sing at the same time online. I can’t wait to read more!!! 👏👏


    With Love, Val Val 🤍🤍

PSAT 8/9 (standardized testing for eighth and ninth grade)

  I f you're in high school, you definitely know that there's a HUGE stress on standardized exams. "You have the SAT in a year! Start studying!" and all that. If you're scared about standardized testing and how to handle it, you've come to the right place. Today we're going to explore how to go about doing this test in a way that you will succeed. Disclaimer: Success DOES NOT mean a 100%. I know that you may be used to getting A+'s on tests in school, but this is not your typical test. Although it is possible to get a perfect score (which, in the case of the PSAT 8/9 is a 1440), it is not something that you should beat yourself up about not getting. Unlike a test for a class that you can study the content for, the PSAT 8/9 (and the PSAT 10, PSAT/NMSQT, and SAT) is more about showing that you can use logic and analytical thinking to answer questions. The only real way to study for these tests is paying attention in class and doing practice tests. Image ...
