Sometimes good posts are made by annoying people so I’ll help out

These are Safe Shorts. They were made by Sandra Seilz after someone attempted to rape her. If the fabric is torn, an alarm will be sounded.

This is the Rape-aXe, invented by a South African doctor by the name of  Sonnet Ehlers. After interviewing a rape victim who wished she had teeth down there, she made this. If someone’s penis is inserted and pulled back out, the teeth will sink in, and can only be removed by a doctor.

The Killer Tampon (couldn’t find a site for it), made by retired anaesthetist Jaap Haumann. When penetration takes place, the sharp end will slice the offending appendage.

The Anti-Rape Belt (also couldn’t find a site), made by a group of Swedish teenagers led by Nadja Björk. It requires two hands to undo.

Anti-Rape Underwear/Bra (once again), as made by a group of Indian students. Will deliver an electric shock when met with unwanted advances, as well as sounding an alarm.

Undercover Colours. Made by 4 male undergraduates at North Carolina U, they change colours when in contact with chemicals or drugs that cause unconsciousness. Used in case you’re wary that your drink has been roofied.

These are just tools to help, but in addition to being mindful of your situations and staying safe, they can help when the worst happens.

Stay safe.

I've started hitting the gym again

It might seem like the hardest thing in the world until you do it, then you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.

Do the hard thing today.

707 and “You can’t banish me! This is my bed too!” :D?

The argument had been juvenile and entirely one-sided, your level of stubbornness clawing to astronomical heights. Your hands made quick work to flick the crumbs and straggling chips from the sheet, deliberately aiming for the side of the bed where you saw the top of Saeyoung’s head and eyes peeking up from.

“Y-You’re so cruel! How can you just throw me on the floor like this?!” he feigned his sobs, the croak in his voice. “It’s so cold down here. Have mercy on my soul! Let me back on the back, I’ll give you a back massage–no, wait! A foot massage and a head massage! I’ll massage you head-to-toe for the cheap, cheap price of letting me back on the bed.”

“Hell no,” you retorted. “Go sleep on the couch and eat your gross chips. I’m so sick of hearing you crunch, crunch, crunch–just crunching them all night!”

“Baby, I can change!” Saeyoung pleaded, jolting onto his knees before swinging a leg onto the mattress. “Just wait, I’ll show you!”

You promptly grunted and swatted his leg away. “I hope your next bag of chips are stale.”

Saeyoung reeled back, fingers splayed across his chest with a look that suggested he was thoroughly affronted. “I see what kind of person you truly are. Ruthless, unyielding, dominating–it’s super hot, honestly–but you can’t banish me! This is my bed too!”

In return for the resolute glare gouging into the side of your head, you merely cast him an exasperated sidelong look before chucking several pillows at his head. “Just shut up and help me get all of your crumbs off the bed.”

You had just ripped the corners of the sheet from the bed when you noticed Saeyoung slowly rising to his feet, pillows tucked between his arms as he turned, almost mechanically marching towards the door. 

“Saeyoung…” you warned.

“I’ll just go sleep on the couch, anyway.”

“Saeyoung!”

 So I recently uploaded a post giving tips on how to study history and I was requested by @cherrylips-cherrysoul to make a biology version so… Here it is!

In Class

- Taking Notes. I recommend taking notes in whatever format suites you, some like the Cornell method, i personally just jot down things on the page and later copy the notes out onto Onenote (meaning i can access my notes on my computer or the Onenote app on my phone)

- Asking Questions. Ask your teacher questions, that’s what they’re there for. If you don’t understand the lesson make sure that you understand it before you leave, do this by asking your teacher. 

Revising / Studying

I think the most important thing about studying biology is UNDERSTANDING the topics, not just memorising the information. If you don’t understand it you can’t apply it.

Read. Read your revision guides, articles and books it makes so much of a difference, and helps you understand what is going on in your lessons.

Watch Videos. There are so many great youtube channels that can teach you so much about biology and they may phrase things in a way differently to your teacher allowing you to look at the topic from a different perspective.

Make Flashcards (Again I like to use Quizlet as I can access my flashcards whenever I need them). You could use them for information about formulas, key ideas and facts.

Mindmaps, Link your ideas!! I think it’s so important to do this as, again, it makes you link your ideas and actually understand the topic.

Teach Someone! (or just pretend to), once again I think that this works for any subject and this is my favourite technique for memorising information, it means that you know that you understand topics and don’t just memorise them.

Experiment Write-Ups 

Do it ASAP. If you have to write about an experiment you did do it as soon as possible, this way the experiment is fresh in your mind.

Research. Research similar experiments or the topic your experiment is about in order to gain more understanding.

Exams

Smile!, I remember reading a study that found that students that sat an exam while smiling did significantly better than those who didn’t smile. I don’t know if I believe this and I’m usually against ‘exam hacks’ but I honestly believe smiling can make you do better, it makes you feel more confident and you spend less time stressing.

Know the exam format. When you enter an exam you should know - the style of questions you will be asked (multiple choice, essay-based i.e.), the length of the exam and the percentage of your grade it counts towards… this can easily be. found on your exam board’s website.

Practice makes perfect. I recommend taking and marking as many practice tests as you can, it makes you familiar with the process (and so less nervous in the actual exam), it also highlights your weakest areas and gives you ideas of what the. examiners are looking for.

Once again feel free to share your own tips and let’s ace this together.

Please request what topic you would like me to do next because I’m thinking of making this a series.
