Lead singer of The Big Moon, Juliette Jackson (what a cool name) explained that the song is "a thanks to the one person or thing in your life that knows how to come in and open your curtains and light up the darkness and restore your strength,So that when you clatter back down into the real world you have the strength to fight your battles, whatever they are.” Read more at www.nme.com.

Adrienne has a series of Yoga videos for beginners. This one is for complete beginners. The great thing about yoga is that you can do it at home in your pyjamas.  As Year 12 students prepare for their final exams it's important to remember that you are more than your ATAR. In her recent post, educator Linda Stade, pointed out, "Approximately 50 % of Australian students go on to university studies at some point. Of them, 26% of students use an ATAR score to enter university. The rest use alternative entrance platforms. That means, approximately 13% of all students currently in Year 12 will actually use an ATAR."
So, with that in mind, know that it's not the end of the world if you don't get the score you were hoping for. If plan A doesn't work, try plan B, or even C or D. Here is an excerpt from an interview with Claire Cottrill by Coup De Main Magazine. "That song is extremely special to me, just because it’s about an experience that I never really shared with a lot of people. In eighth grade, I was having a really hard time dealing with my depression that’s been on and off my whole life, and there was a time where I really felt like I didn’t want to be here anymore. And instead of making this song about how sad that is and how bad I felt in the moment, I wanted to make it about my friend Alexa who called the police when she suspected that I was feeling this way. Even if it was just the thought, she still cared enough to intervene and be a true friend, which is something I didn’t feel like I ever had and had never experienced until Alexa. So the song is really more of a love song to her and kind of a ‘thank you’ and a reminder to everyone else that there are people like Alexa that want to help uplift you and get you out of really terrible head-spaces. I’m in the best stage of my life right now, and I would have never known how great it was, but Alexa is a big part of my life and a big part of my story."

Here's an interesting video from Art of Smart about pre-exam rituals. These activities help to calm your brain down so that you can think clearly when you sit your exam. Before an exam I used to talk to my friends then freak out because I hadn't studied the same thing that they did. By the time I walked into the exam room I was an emotional wreck. |
