31 Stocking Stuffers That Every Harry Potter Fan Needs

[latorredelibros-dey]

Hello, people! The time has come: I will teach you the secret to study for three days and remember everything for your test. This is a hardcore studying session so I would recommend to only do it when you are truly freaking the fuck out. Now, I must tell you: It’s gonna involve some hard work, so sit comfortably because we’re about to start:

REMINDER: YOU DON’T NEED TO DO THIS IN A ROLL. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE DURING THE  COURSE OF THE DAY. 

REMINDER 2: REMEMBER TO EAT, DRINK WATER AND GET ENOUGH REST. YOU DON’T NEED TO FORGET ABOUT YOUR HEALTH IN ORDER TO GET BETTER GRADES. 

DAY 1

First reading of your main textbook

Second reading + highlighting 

Research more about the topic (internet, other books, talk to your friends, etc)

Resume everything (notes)

Do a mind map of main points 

If what you’re studying needs something to be memorized “word by word” (such as: meanings, processes, references, chemical reactions, etc), write it down and put it on your wall. You’re gonna read it several times during the day. 

Write down the topics and key words on a reference paper (you’re gonna take this paper everywhere, forcing your memory to expand from those simple key words) 

Review your notes 

Do ten exercises 

Review your notes + exercises 

Watch a video class 

You’re done for today. Good job. Now rest, tomorrow is a new day. 

DAY 2

Review your notes

Read them out loud

Read them again, but this time record yourself

Listen to it. Twice. 

Review your notes before bed

DAY 3

Review your notes + listen to your recordings from yesterday

Do 30 exercises 

Review notes + exercises 

Listen to your recordings again

Review your notes one more time.

FANTASTIC JOB! Now it’s your time to rest. If you’re feeling like it, read your notes one more time before bed. 

One more time, this is a heavy studying session, and not supposed to be done all the time. Remember to take care of your health and take several breaks during the day. If you don’t need, there is no need to do everything listed here. 

Good luck!!!

true story...

When you read a really great book and make everybody else read it, it’s like...

[latorredelibros-dey]

This book is the first book of the Lux series, in this book we know the book protagonist Daemon and his twin sister Dee, which hide a secret, but all that can change when a new neighbor arrives at the house next door, Katy is a book lover who is attracted to Daemon and his world.

This book is a good escape from the ordinary people because it has something that not many young adult have, aliens, this book takes the typical image of aliens and put as luminous beings called Luxen but of course if there is also light to be dark and that is the rationale for the aurum which are aliens made of shadows.

This book tells the story of the relationship between Katy and Daemon, the problems they have and as she faces the secret and the dangers of the life of a Luxen which is constantly pursued by Aurum and monitored by the Department of Defense, this it is a good book but not as much as its prequel (Shadows), i gave it 3 of 5 stars on Goodreads since it is a little more tedious to read as much focused on the fights between the players and less on the plot or aliens who inhabit the world alongside humans.
