How to keep motivation in studying ?

   Hello guys ! Today, I thought that it would be good to write an article about motivation. It was around 6pm, I was alone in my aunt's house, and... I didn't know what to do with my life. I made myself a cup of porridge, and filled a second one with tea. If I would have been home, I would probably have run to the Starbucks to order a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I love October. Seeing the leaves getting orange on the trees, eating cinnamon flavour meals, Halloween, ... But tonight, I was not motivated in doing anything. I didn't know what article I could write, I couldn't find some full-of-fat snack to calm my stomach, ... I had lost the smallest ounce of motivation that I always had.

   So, I decided to kick my butt and write an article about how to keep motivation in studying, even when your only desire is to procrastinate.

   This is drinking my tea, and watching some episodes of Scream Queens (to not loose this Halloween atmosphere I don't want to let go) that I am going to give you tips to keep going and achieve your goals !

Thoughts of the day, October 15th - Don't give up

   Hey guys ! Today, I felt like writing a talk. I could fill 5 pages of paper telling nothing concrete, but right now, I want to speak about more specific things. So, I thought "Why not writing an article about the last changes in your life ?", and here I am !

   I've wanted to write this for a while now, because, going to university is completely changing my life, and, as I know that some people are quickly giving up their studies because they can't handle this new way of life... I'd like to give them motivation !

   On August 27th, after my (very late) birthday party, my parents left me at my grandma's and went back home with my sis. Wow. That was... a very special and confusing moment. Seeing them so sad was awful, and staying here, outside the car, while my little sister was begging me, crying, to stay with her, completely broke my heart. She is one of the most precious person to me.

Apprentissage des Langues Étrangères et Organisation

   Coucou mes p'tits passionnés, suite à une idée lancée par @SaironVII sur Twitter, l'article de cette semaine sera consacré à un ensemble de petits conseils pour vous organiser dans l'apprentissage de la langue qui vous passionne !

   Tout le monde ne peut pas dédier trois heures par jour à apprendre la langue qu'il lui fait envie, même les plus passionnés. Néanmoins, les sept (nombre porteur de chance au Japon, c'est pas pour rien) petites astuces qui vont suivre vous permettront de pratiquer sans vous en rendre compte, et sans que cela n'influe trop votre emploi du temps.
   C'est parti !🙆

Conseil n°1 : Profiter des transports en commun

   Essayez rapidement de compter le nombre d'heures, dans une semaine, que vous passez à vous préparer le matin, le soir, à attendre dans les transports en commun, en voiture ou à marcher pour vous rendre au travail, au lycée, ou à l'université. Vous en sortirez facilement avec 5h par semaine. Cinq heures dont vous ne profitez pas. Cinq heures qui sont là, à flotter dans le néant. Mais, plus pour longtemps; parce qu'il faut avouer que cinq heures gratuites, comme ça, cela nous serait bien utile pour travailler nos petites langues étrangères !
   Pour mettre à profit tout ce temps perdu, je vous propose 2 options.

LDR – Long-Distance Relationship

   I guess a lot of people wonder what is a LDR. The acronym « LDR » means : Long-Distance Relationship.

   Ah, you got it now, right ? It’s about these people who say they are dating, despite they live miles and miles away from their lover most of the time. You know, these whose we say they are cheating on each other !

  If you still believe that it is really what these couples are, you definitely need to read this article.

 Being in a LDR is to be that much in love with someone that you consider that distance doesn’t matter, and that you are ready to wait for him/her until you both finally get to live in the same country.

   Despite the fact that this kind of relationship is one of the most beautiful and purest ones, a lot of people do critize it, don’t believe in the reality of LDR couples’ feelings, in their trust, or, they are completely misundersanding it. Some others cannot understand how it can exist, because they wouldn’t be able to live the same way.

   As someone deeply concerned by that subject, I wanted to write an article about it, to explain to the ones who can’t understand, and to give tips to the ones who are already involved in it.

   Plus, it’s been a while since I didn’t write a « Talk » !

50 things which surprised me when I was in Japan - Part 3

   Hello everyone ! It's been a while since I didn't write in English, isn't it ? Today, I wanted to share with you 10 supplementary things which surprised me during my trip to Japan. 

1.     Tea, tea and tea

   As a complete teaholic, I was really excited to come to Japan ! It is not a cliché : Japanese people do drink a loooot of tea. For breakfast, after your meal, in the middle of the afternoon, while eating, ... All the occasions are good to take a good cup of tea. The most famous one is green tea. Macha, Sencha, ... Japanese green teas are really tasty ! My host-mother, knowing that I really loved her tea, was filling me a bottle of hot green tea she had just made, every single day, so that I could drink it all day long.

Look at this wonderful japaneses-style teapot !
