26 rules to live by

1. Love the life you live, live the life you love

2. Sometimes, the prettiest smiles hide the deepest secrets. The prettiest eyes have cried the most tears and the kindest hearts have felt the most pain.

3. If you don't understand my silence, how will you understand my words?

4. If you make mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance. Because failure is not simply falling down, but staying down.

5. I am strong because I know my weaknesses, I am beautiful because I am aware of my flaws, I am fearless because I learnt to recognize illusions from reality, I am wise because I learn from my mistakes, I am a lover because I have felt hate, and I can laugh because I have known sadness

6. Be pretty if you can, be witty if you must, be be gracious if it kills you

7. Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right, and forget about those who don't. And believe that everything happens for a reason... if you get a chance- take it; if it changes your life-let it. Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it

8. We are all a little weird and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love

9. Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them

10. Today is the oldest I've ever been, and the youngest I'll ever be again

11. Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.

12. I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle be at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best.

13. I myself am entirely made of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.

14. Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles. It empties today of its strength

15. I have decided to be happy because it's good for my health

16. You forgive people because you still want them in your life

17. Do what makes you happy and be done with all the rest

18. We all have the power to make wishes to come true, as long as we keep believing

19. Certain things capture your eye, but pursue only those that capture the heart

20. Promise me you'll always remember you're braver than you believe and stronger than you seem and smarter than you think

21. Learn from the mistakes of others. You don't live long enough to make them all yourself

22. If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun

23. If you aren't failing, you aren't trying hard enough

24. Someone between all of our laughs, long talks, stupid little fights and all of our jokes, I fell in love

25. You have a choice: you can throw in the towel or you can use it to wipe the sweat off of your face

26. Live life, laugh about it, love.

4. "I didn't reply. For a second I thought you were just talking to yourself"

13 ways to study for unfortunate exams

1. Make lots of notecards
2. Make more notecards
3. Listen to the lectures you recorded in class while you sleep
4. Wake up and recite biological cycles
5. Recite biological cycles 20 times before you sleep
6. The pencil drop test (Thanks JJ)
7. The fact the answers are on the wall behind you
8. "There should be a tussle in the hallway. What teacher brings tests into an emergency tussle? Then we can hide the tests in the ceiling tiles!" Too bad our room has no ceiling tiles
9. Answer the same answer for every question
10. Word banks
11. Study for the first time the half hour before the test.

15. Go to the gym, it's a good break from studying
16. Or just use your textbooks. They weigh more than most weights at the gym
17. Bring clothes for the warm and the cold. You may wind up sweating one night in your sleep and freezing the next
18. Bring a flashlight. You never know when the power is going to go out
19. Give people your address. Getting mail is fun
