TeenTip: things to do before you graduate

Thank God It's Friday, people!

I'm so thrilled to tell you something. Udah minggu ke-2 aku liburan setelah UN, and I've got plenty of things to do; film dokumenter, nulis lagu, menggambar dan rencananya mau bikin foto-foto yang kesannya impossible tapi berseni. 

Kemarin, aku dateng ke sekolah karena yearbook udah selesai! Pulang ke rumahnya yang susah, kemarin hujan awet, dan baru nyampe ke rumah setengah 6. To be honest aku puas sama hasil yearbooknya. Covernya simpel dan minimalis. Kata adekku, isi yearbooknya klasik; enggak terlalu berlebihan. Tapi sayang banget koleksi foto seangkatan (di luar photoshoot) nya sedikit, misalnya foto-foto pas masih masa-masanya KBM. But it's okay, otherwise the yearbook is great!

Oh iya, kalo enggak salah kakak-kakak SMA kelas 12 pengumuman UN ya? Selamat buat kakak-kakak kelas 12 ya! Semoga bisa ngelanjutin pendidikannya di perguruan tinggi yang diinginkan. Pokoknya, keep chasing your dream! :) Pengumuman SMP masih lama nih, 14 Juni. Perpisahan angkatan aku diadain sekitar tanggal 20-an Juni.

Aku ada beberapa tips buat semua siswa Indonesia (or maybe students in other countries who graduate this year?)yang lulus tahun ini. Sebelum perpisahan pastinya ada hari libur, dong? It's better when you spend your time with your friends or doing some quality activities instead of doing nothing. Things to do before you graduate:

1. Make a scrapbook full of photos of you and your friends. Make sure put some weird-but-fun photos. 
2. Visit another school party with your friends and make some move, because a thing that you would miss the most after you graduate is the time when you become 'crazy' with your friends. So, don't waste it!
3. Watch movie(s) together. You don't need to throw a sleepover to do this. You can do this at your friend's house or your house, or go to a cinema to watch the recent movie(s). You don't have to use big screen like in a cinema and a projector to watch together if you want to do this outside the cinema. 
4. Make sure you know all teachers at your school and make a good relationship with them. You can consider them as friends too, right?
5. Be nice with people at school (staffs, teachers, freshmen, the juniors). 
6. Play some traditional and board games together. You don't have to play video games to have fun, right?
7. Sing-A-Long! Play a guitar or other instruments, and start singing together.
8. Connect with your friends at some social medias, especially the social medias that provide video call. 
9. Ask your friends (that graduate at same year or teachers or other else at school) to sign your yearbook on the last empty page. 
10. The last... Enjoy the quality time with your friends before you graduate, because when you're in a new school with new friends, it would be hard if you want to gather with them (I feel it when I want to gather with some of my elementary friends). 

Done! Aku sama temen kelasku udah ngelakuin beberapa hal sebelum perpisahan. Paling sering itu nonton bareng karena satu sama lain ngerekomendasiin film-film apa aja yang bagus buat ditonton. Kalau ada hal-hal lain yang bisa dilakuin sebelum lulus selain di atas ini, do it! 

Why don't you make your own 'things to do before you graduate'? Aku yakin pasti masih banyak. Semoga kelas 9 sama adek-adek kelas 6 bisa lulus 100%! Amin... buat kakak-kakak kelas 12, semoga bisa masuk perguruan tinggi yang diinginkan!

TeenTip: back to school

Bonsoir gaissss, so my (short) summer is going to be over and I'm going to back to school in July 15th, but we're not going to study. Okay I'm now a 9th grader and I guess I wouldn't have many times to update my blog because I must focus on the next National Exam. Maybe my daily activities (music, reading, crafting, etc.) will be decreased.  I also decided to delay posting my photographs, although I haven't gone to an interesting place or some occasions, and sometimes my internet connection sucks. Sorry! :v

Being a senior sometimes kinda sucks, but it's kinda cool, reminding you have juniors and also, FRESHMEN! 

The freshmen orientation week in my school is going to be over tomorrow (or maybe Saturday). Not all students are coming to see the occasion, and me either. Just some students who join extracurricular and the the member of Student Organization. 

So, what am I going to post here? I'm back with my brand new TeenTip! I've deleted the previous TeenTip posts, so this is the first! I have some tips for YOU, freshmen! No, not how to be a popular student at school, but how to fit in your new school. You don't have to be the most special at school, at least you've got friends. 

1. Smile! That's the important thing. You'll be known as a friendly one, and you'll easily get more friends. 
2. Don't be afraid to greet your new friends! You're all new kids in school, so it's easier to start something new than you're transfered by your parents to another school in the middle of a semester. It needs more adaptation, though. 
3. Start a conversation with your new friends! DO's: talk about basic thing like sharing hobbies, talking about your old schools, likes and interests. It's not wrong if you give some jokes. DON'Ts: talk about your love stories, your crushes, and most of all, talk some bad things about your new friends!
4. Be confident is okay, but don't be over-confident. Some people may don't like an over-confident person. 
5. Make a good relationship with the seniors (and your friends, especially classmates and outside your class). Make friends, not war. 
6. Do not brag your gadgets or something expensive on your first day at school! Not all your friends are as same as you are, especially if you go to a public school. They might got offense and they may don't like you. 

Being fitted in in a new place is not as hard as you thought. As long as you stay out of trouble, you could make friends, there's nothing to worry about. Mind your attitude and be friendly, as always! :)

What if you want to join some clubs or extracurriculars? 

"Being a part of something special- it made me special." -Jenna Ushkowitz as Tina, Glee

 Don't be shy and go sign your name to some clubs or extracurriculars that you might be interested to join! If you want to be focused on your extracurricular, then choose which one that matches with your hobbies or your interests, then you can be enjoy in the extracurricular that you've joined. I join Photography club in my school. Although it's not as popular as other club, I feel special when I be a part of it.

If you love sports or be attractive, you might join: Basketball club, Soccer club, Cheerios or Dance Club.
If you love to be organized, you might join: Youth Red Cross (PMR), Paskibra, or Scout.
If you love arts, you might join: Art Club or Photography Club.
If you love music, you might join: Choir, Music Club or Theater Club.
If you love researching, you might join Science Club.

That's all for me and good luck in your new school! Don't make it as something hard to fit in. Enjoy your new environment!

TeenTip: How To Own A Quality Blog

Hi. I'm very confused. Why? 'Cuz I have no idea, What entry that I want to post. Sooooo, I posted this entry. How to own a quality blog? It's easy peasy guys.

1. Make some quality entries.


Make the entries that makes the readers interest of your entry. Maybe your journals, tips, stories, also the tutorials.

2. Your blog weight is less than 100 KB.

Do not appear the nonsense widgets. Put the important widgets.

3. If you could, you can make your own blog skin.

There's nothing wrong if you want to make your own blog skin. I think It's so creative. But keep crediting guys. Don't be a copycat.

4. Don't copy others stuff without credit.

Wow wow, If you do that, that means you don't have any creativity! You have a brain and please use it well!

5. Don't use negative words.

Don't use some dirty words. Example:

"HEY YOU F***! THIS IS MY BLOG!"

Gee, and suddenly the person that you mean is hate you.

Okay, That's all that I have. Later guys~

TeenTip: How to Make A Quality Story

Good night everyone!

I have no idea what I want to write about. So, I wrote this. It might be important for you if you want to write a story. 

Can I started?

Make a story is easy, IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA. If you have no idea, it's difficult. Same as I. Right now I was thinking for an idea for Kellen McCorrell part 7. I just want to be creative, I just want to make a different story from another stories. 

Some point that you have to see:

1. Be Creative.

Make your story different from others! It's cool to be different. Never copy-paste other story that it's not yours. Wanna be a copypasters? If you want, I bet you're ready to be a Copypaster Queen. Then you'll  be famous because of that. Me? Ugh, I don't want to. 

But If you may inspired other story. But don't copy that. 

2. A story should be in accordance with the title of the story.

Wow you have to notice that! Ex: You make a story with title "Wanna Be A Queen", but you make the plots different from the title. Ex: You're not make a story about a queen or something like that, but you make a story about the gadgeter girl. It's not quality!

3. To the point.

Too much chit-chat will isn't a quality story! You may give some chit-chats, but do not too much. The readers will dizzy when they read your story.

4. You may give some romantic scenes, BUT..

There's nothing wrong if you give some romantic scenes, BUT do not too overacting. Ex:

"After he gave me a bouquet, We're kissing.. Don't you believe it, Rose?" 

It's only example. We're not enough of age if we want to write a story that includes 'kissing' scene. In Kellen McCorrell, I put some romantic scenes, such as when Kellen says that he loves Jazzie, in front of Jazzie.  

5. Unique name of the characters!

Make and mix name of the characters is allowed too. But don't make an unique name that the name is so difficult to read it. Ex: Schwartmoozeent. Make a simple name but unique and different. Such as: Kellen, Jazzie, etc.

Easy, dont'cha?

And an important point that you need to hear: Your story is copyright by you and all rights reserved. Another besides you isn't allowed to change the stories, or copying without credit (Sometimes they really don't want their stories is appear in another blogs besides their blog). 

Okay, that's all that I want to tell today. Bye~

how to make friends

Hi hi!

Everyone needs friends, right?

If you didn't need any friend(s), it means you're crazy weird. Haha. Just kidding.

Thank god we can meet again. Today I want to give a simple tip: How to make a friend(s).

Okay, after I said that, you think that to make a friend(s) didn't need any step or tip. Just said, "Hey, let's be friends!"
It's not easy than you though. Especially, make a Bestie.
Make a friends is not same as we want to date with someone. We don't need to 'shoot' him or her to be our friend. Just give him/her a smile, And started to doing anything together with him/her (Except to cheating together in exams, Its's NOT ALLOWED!
Hey, and Believe in me, you can be friends with boy too. But it doesn't mean that you two are dating. I've being friends with boy, and Believe it or not, it's So FUN!

Make a friends is easy when we're in the new environment, example in your new school. You can change your bad attitude into the good attitude. But in the old school, it's easy too. Simple, just what i said: Smile.

Yeah, Smile Is Beautiful.
If you see a friend that makes you interest with him/her, go to them and invite to talk together. You can talk about favorite artists, about internet, hobbies, and also you can ask him/her where is he/she from if you're in the new school.

Sometimes to be friends, we don't need to say, "Let's be friends!" It can be friends by itself.

And there are some stuff that you need to avoid when you have a relationship.
-Never talk about others (Gossiping).
-Don't try to mock your bestie/others (Remember, you're not perfect).
-Don't use your friend to be your maid.
-DON'T BE A SELFISH PERSON.
-Don't brag yourself in front of your friend.
-DO NOT BRAGGING YOUR EXPENSIVE STUFF IN FRONT OF YOUR FRIEND. RISK: YOU, YOUR FRIEND, END!
-Don't talk about his/her SECRETS in front of others.


List to do when you have a relationship.
-Be nice.
-Invite him/her to study together.
-Keep the secrets each other.
-Sharing the knowledge.


Okay, that's all for me. I hope it works. See ya!

TeenTip: Save yourself

Hi. I am the bored teenager.

First, hi. Second, hi. Third, hi again.

Lemme think. I think i haven't introduce myself yet.
Really?

'Kay. You're lucky you are in here. 'Cause I just want to introduced myself just for ONE TIME.
My name is (You can read my name in 'About me') and I want to introduce my real name. 'Cause I always falsifying identity in the internet (Umm, not really, just in omegle and tumblr).

Yeah, our topic today is,

HOW TO SAVE YOURSELF.

I don't introduce the real me. That's the SAFE WAY to SAVE YOURSELF from the CRIMINAL, right?
Yeah, example:

A  : Hey, I'm 21 m Australia, wbu?
Me: 45 f canada.
Me: You're a jerk.
A  : what's ur name?
Me: Belinda.
Me: wbu?
.....

I've chat like this with a stranger before. The stanger ask, "What's ur name?" Then i answered, "Belinda," Then i asked again, "wbu?"

I just asked like that, The stranger was disconnect the chat. I'm pretty happy about that.
The real thing is, my name is NOT Belinda. And I AM NOT 45 YEARS OLD.
Lemme get something straight,

I AM A TEENAGER, NOT AN ADULT.

But you see, lie for surviving yourself or others, it's good. Like, if your friend was hiding from the kidnappers, then they ask you, "Hey, did you see the little girl who run around here?"
Okay, If you asked by the kidnappers like that, it means you can lie to them for saving your friend.
"Sorry, sir. I don't know."

Congratulations. It means you save your friend.

BUT,
If you lie for the bad thing, It's not good. One time, IT'S NOT GOOD. Like, If your mom asked you, "Did you cheat during exams?"

Tik, tok.

I'm sure you'll freeze. In your mind, you said, I am cheating, but I can't tell that I am cheating. I have to do that, 'Cause I haven't study yet and I don't know the answers.


Well, it's your problem why you haven't study last night, if you know that you have an exam tomorrow.

BUT YOU CAN'T LIE, ESPECIALLY TO YOUR PARENTS.

You have to tell the truth.

'Cause,
HONEST IS GOOD, AND
LIE IS BAD.

Okay, that's all from me. Remember, ignore the strangers if the stranger talk to you. We don't know he/she is the bad person, or a good person. As a teenager, just be careful.
PS: Boys could read too! Remember: Safety first.

This is the end of TeenTip.
