I turned 14!

https://anchor.fm/priyamvada-tyagi/episodes/I-turned-14-evih7m

Hey Discoverers!!!!It’s been long since we interacted. Due to the exams I could not find time to work on my blog posts but now that they are over I am back! Also….Congratulations to me for successfully completing a whole one year( on13 March) as a teenager .It was a roller coaster of emotions and thoughts since due to the Global Pandemic my first year as a teenager was an isolated one where I realised the value of socialising,being grateful and finding good in everything.

This past year I learned a lot of new things ranging from trying my hand at blogging to being a part of the school compering crew. A lot of things came my way this year and all I can say is that I am grateful for everything that happened. I am grateful for being privileged enough to have food and shelter to fulfill my needs during the pandemic. I was privileged enough to afford the medications. I was privileged enough to have my family with me to support me during these hard times and my teachers who did not let the pandemic hinder my education. My friends who motivated me to not stop due to these hard times and last but not the least I was privileged enough to be in good health to be able to help those in need.

This year might have been a very lonely and negative one but honestly…none of us even knew the meaning of being in quarantine, isolation and social distancing. So, it did add words to our dictionary😅…But what is the most important lesson that I learnt this year is that nations and people might have fights over petty things but during the hard times the whole world stands together as a family and just as it is stated in the ancient Indian texts “Vasudeva kutumbkam”.We all are a FAMILY😊

Weird and Wonderful Facts About Teenagers!

https://anchor.fm/priyamvada-tyagi/episodes/Weird-and-Wonderful-Facts-About-Teenagers-evih7k

Hey readers! We all know that we teenagers just raise the bars of being highly idiotic and sometimes highly intelligent.

But why does this happen? And what’s so weird and wonderful about it. So here I am with some facts about teenagers. Let’s check out!

Weird Facts!

#Fact1. If your parents scold you, and you feel their words, you are WRONG. Yes! the Teen Brain shuts down once it finds negativity or criticism. So if your parents give you an hour long lecture…you do ”HEAR” them however, you never “LISTEN”.

#Fact2. If you always get a taunt for sleeping late and getting up late then, it’s definitely NOT your fault. Adolescents are in their growing stages thus, they are developing their Rod cells(helps to see at night)which are weaker as compared to their Cone cells(helps to see in broad daylight) in humans as we are diurnal. I know I’m being too scientific but it’s a fact! However, every teen is different. So many may even be the nocturnal owls while some may be the early birds!

#Fact3. When teens are around their friends “peer pressure” gets the better of them. They tend to take more RISKS when they are around peers. However, this varies from teen to teen but this gives us a lesson that “peer pressure” isn’t as easy to tackle as we consider it to be.

#Fact4. Teens do value their family but a thing they value the most is their phone as it gives them the PRIVACY they wish for. The number of teens with smartphones has doubled in two years. 80 per cent of teenagers now have a smartphone.

Wonderful Facts

#Fact1. More than 78% teens have OCD(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).However,this might be bad in some cases but mostly all teenagers face it atleast 2-3 times unknowingly.

#Fact2. More than 20% teen boys and 46% teen girls hug their loved ones daily to show affection.Even though many of us don’t realise it…but yeah,we do this!

#Fact3. Teenagers eat double the food to forget bad memories.U know what….Scientifically,It works!

Well,this was it for the teen facts.Hope you liked them.Do check out my blog about Exams!!!.Well,you know the drill.Do folllow me if you liked the facts and I will be back with more fun blogs very soon…Bisou-Bisou!

Exams!!!

https://anchor.fm/priyamvada-tyagi/episodes/Exams-evih7j

Hey readers!Well,I know that you’ve already read the title so you know it has something to do with Exams.Well,to some extent YESSS.But it’s gonna be more of Exam “Pressure” .I know this definitely isn’t a new word for any of us.If you too are a student, you would know it and if you are a Teen then you definitely know it.

Exams are like those ghosts that scare you every fourth month accompanied by class tests as panic attacks and Parent Teacher Meets to increase your blood pressure, anxiety,chronic stress and what not.

But this stress is going to lead nowhere. As per a study, mental pressure during exams can decrease self-confidence and lead to poor academic performance, distancing from family members and friends, or an increase in depression and anxiety. Left untreated, this could eventually lead teens to engage in self-harm or even have suicidal thoughts!

But don’t worry.All of this ‘pressure’ as we call it, isn’t that big of a burden if we plan things well.I am sure that all of us are ready to face the exams.

So, here are some tips that would help you to Face your exams and Ace your exams!

• Make an effective schedule for studies only.
• Choose distraction free environment.
• Use smart way instead of hard way, it will save your time because you have limited time.
• Always be focused on your concepts.
• Make your own personal notes for better understandings of topics.
• Analyze your weakness & strength.
• Kill all your weak points,.
• Learn from your mistakes.
• Read & study textbooks that is provided by the boards.

I hope these tips would help you to #Face your exams and Ace your exams.

Self-Care: Selfish or Necessary

https://anchor.fm/priyamvada-tyagi/episodes/Self-Care-Selfish-or-Necessary-evih7h

As promised, here is my new post! Though I took a lot of time to post this one,but I think it is a must that we all read this blog and understand the importance of SELF-CARE. So here I am with a new blog,new thoughts,new observations:)

Hey Discoverers! Hope you are doing great! Well, this week was no different…I was just sitting in my chair thinking that 2k20 has truly taken a toll over our lives and now it has been a month since the New Year began! So, I decided to give myself some much-needed-self-care which I believe, we all deserve.

Well, I think we have just made it into our habit to force, push, stretch and challenge ourselves for anything and everything and then beat ourselves up when we fall short. But we need to stop expecting ourselves to be happy at all phases of life. To always be confident, productive or even present. Come on! Let’s accept it! It’s not always possible to be PERFECT…at last we are HUMAN!

It’s high time now. Stop saying “I’ll deal with that later” as soon as you think about Self-Care. I know. You are busy. It can be hard to give yourself the adequate amount of time but don’t let it affect you. Don’t ignore yourself.

But why do we neglect ourselves? We know that we need to HEAL. But we just don’t want to accept that .We want HELP. But we just won’t share our problems. I believe that Self-Help is the best way to love ourselves. Loving ourselves is not selfish it is necessary. We need it. We have to. Caring for ourselves in the best possible way is important for all of us.

It is not selfish to COMPLIMENT yourself. In fact, complimenting yourself can help you boost your self-confidence!

To care for yourself you can do a thing as easy as giving yourself a massage to doing a thing as personal as having a SELF-TALK. Take out 5 min of your day and talk to yourself. Think if what you did today made you happy. Relive an old happy memory when you feel stressed. And believe me… Self-talk is the best way to heal. Talk to parents or trustworthy friends and share if you think that would help you feel better.

Start meditating or doing yoga or FOLLOW A HOBBY like singing, dancing or painting if it helps you.

You know yourself the most. You know your shortcomings. You know your strengths. If you think that you need rest give yourself a BREAK. Don’t force yourself. It would just make things worse.

And believe me. If you follow these easy methods of COMPLIMENT,SELF-TALK,FOLLOW A HOBBY and BREAK you would feel the much wanted change in you 🙂

My First Post !

https://anchor.fm/priyamvada-tyagi/episodes/My-First-Post-evih7f

Hey Discoverers! Hope you all are in vibrating spirits! Well, I welcome you to my first post! TBH, currently my nervousness is not unmixed with ecstasy(tough phrase to comprehend😁)and I am as excited to write this blog as a bird taking its first step to flap its wing for the first time🕊. So, let’s begin.

Well…as a teenager when you are just feeling so many emotions at the same time have you ever heard someone say “Don’t worry, it’s just a phase…”.I am sure you have, and if you haven’t, then you are just toooo lucky to escape the sarcastic eye or wait for it buddy….you are gonna hear it any day now but you must be wondering that this is my first blog then why did I choose to talk about teenage?

Well peeps, if you haven’t realised yet, I am just any other teenager discovering things and trying to do stuff that is considered NEW and DIFFERENT and undoubtedly, HARD…Even if you are the Teenybopper, the Nerd, the Fangirl, the Loner, the Career-Oriented, the Trendy-Wendy or the Showstopper you would be judged on simply anything and everything that you do which makes it all the more a reason for me to share certain observations of mine with you.Ranging from your weight to your height, from your behaviour to your intellect, there would be just so many eyes scanning your each and every footprint that after reaching a certain point you might fall in an introspective pit called “Self-Doubt”. Well, self-doubt itself is a vast topic of debate and discussion but…we’ll talk about that later…

Friend1-"Hey,did you check that latest meme?"
Friend2-"Which one?"
Friend1-"DM me...IWTU there"
Friend2-"Umm...Ok"
Friend1-"Well,this meme is going VIRAAAAL...CTO :-"
     "MAN IN THE MEME->Do you guys realise that this year's name is literally 2021(2020 Won)?! 🤔🙄"
Friend2- "LOL🤣🤣 "
Friend1- "J2LYK this meme has been shared more than a million times!!!"
Friend2- "That's MB! Well,have to go check my Snapchat...Hey, I hit a thousand followers!"
Friend1-"Booyah! Well...WCUUL! TTFN"
Friend2-"PS:I got done with my Instagram story too..Gotta go post it..So,BBN ! "

Wondering what’s this in the middle of this blog ?! Confused? Puzzled? Well,don’t be.It’s normal right?…It’s just any other chat between two friends in the opinion of some #THE TECH SAVVY teens who know how to decode these abbreviations while, others might just call it a chat using some contemporary-lingo style or the “so called nerds” might think that the person chatting doesn’t know how to type😂!

Well, teens differ and so do their opinions and knowledge about a certain field…I know that some of you might have already googled the full forms of these lingos(’cause,if you did then you are not alone,even I did😅).

UKW,let’s be candid….If you are not the kind of teenager who would love to hang around with your friends and would rather read a book and enjoy a hot mug of coffee…it’s totally fine.If you are the teen who would prefer enjoying your “Me-time” instead of uploading your Insta story it’s fine….It’s fine if you prefer sharing your feelings with one true friend instead of telling the tale to a hundred…It’s fine if you enjoy being you…being UNFILTERED.

If you too are a teenager and liked this blog, then without any further delay follow me and check out my other soon to be launched blogs on teenagers, being unfiltered, life, social issues and much more cause they are just going to make you scream RELATABLE!!!
