 The months of August and September are stressful for every Indian student - school or college-going. These months bring up EXAMS. These exams mark the end of the first semester. Most of us start studying around 3 weeks before exams. But a few students prefer studying a day before their exams. It may seem as if this last minute cramming technique works but it doesn't - at all. So, it's high time to gear up and start studying! In this post, I bring to you 5 efficient study tips that will help you score great this semester.  8 Study Tips For Exams  1. Study with intervals.  This technique is recommended by most experts.

Self Help for Teens  "You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend". Let's face it! It's hard to find time for yourself, school, hobbies, passions, outdoor activities, chores and much more. Teens these days have so much on their plates to do. And I know that it's hard to make some crucial  desicions in life. But luckily I found my compass to navigate my way out.                                   Last year, my cousin gave me this book called - The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey.  Whenever I started reading the book, I could never finish it (it is a lengthy book). But I finally finished reading the whole book during this period of lockdown. And I'm really ecstatic after finishing the whole   book. So, I thought - Why not share the 7 habits with you guys?
