October 31st, 2014. Halloween day. I was wearing a leather jacket, my combat boots and black nail polish. Words rolled off my tongue in the most pleasant of manners. I made mistakes and laughed at myself. I was strutting down the sidewalk, swinging my bag of candy with glee. I  felt good . I felt fabulous. I felt like... Like superwoman. These moments (for me) can be few and far between. Very rarely have I felt good enough to put myself on the same playing field as superwoman. So I created this post to help those of you out there who either need a pick me up or are ready to conquer your enemies. Warning, this post may contain radioactive positivity and could potentially turn you into an awesome butt kicking super hero. ;) + Resist comparison. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT compare yourself to others. EVER . We are all very different people. We are all in different places, struggling with different things. So, isn't it unfair to compare yourself to people who you not only h...

For pretty much my whole blogging journey I've been working on coding designs for my sites. CSS was my favorite and HTML is bearable, but Javascript... Oh, the dreaded Javascript... I could never get Javascript down. I couldn't write my own codes or even make the ones I got off the web work. And I never understood why . So I've created this post today to help those of you who may be struggling as well. What is it? Javascipt is the most popular programming language. Like, ever. It can change HTML content, attributes, CSS styles, and much, much more. It makes web pages interactive and can be used in non-web based environments, such as PDFs and desktop widgets. [ 1 ] If you'd like to learn more about Javascript, like who created it and the many things it can do, head on over here . :) The standard Javascript code: <script type='text/javascript'> //<![CDATA[ Your JavaScript coding here //]]> </script> The code above is very im...

If any of you have ever taken a psychology class, you have probably heard of the concept of self-efficacy. This was one concept that really stuck out to me and has made a huge impact in my life. Self-efficacy is your belief that you have control of what happens to you and can succeed. For example, say you fail your math exam. Someone with low self-efficacy would think that the environment played a large role in it. They might say that they were born with a low IQ or that it was beyond their control. Someone with high self-efficacy would immediately start studying harder and would accredit their failure to circumstances that they could control such as lack of sleep or not eating right. Obviously, a high self-efficacy is very important to a person’s success in life. A person with high self-efficacy will turn their failures into stepping stones. So how can you develop a sense of self-efficacy? There are a few steps you can take: Set realistic goals. Successfully accomplishing sm...

I had the wonderful chance to interview Amna from Crafty ! Continue to read to learn more about her and her wonderful blog. :) + + + Please introduce yourself, and tell us a little bit more about you and your blog. Hi everybody! I am Amna Ateef. I am 14 years old and I am a high school student who is obsessed with crafting, music, tech, graphic designing and photography. I also love reading something knowledgeable and traveling. I usually mix and create music in free time when possible. Crafty is my first blog and it's all about crafting and things related to it. As crafting is one of my major hobbies, I thought why not blog about it as others do? When did you start your blogging journey and why? I started blogging from 27th May, 2014. I used to craft a lot when I didn't had any gadget in my hand or anything else to do. In the end of 2013, I joined Pinterest. I saw lot's of inspiring craft pins from all around the web. I s...
