10 Things No One Will Tell You About Being In A Long Distance Relationship By Ellen Scott[size=13pt][/size] 1. You’re going to be BROKE. Plane tickets. Posting excessive gifts to make up for the time apart. Blowing all your money when you finally see each other, just to make up for lost time. You thought you’d save money from fewer dates. You were so, so wrong. 2. Your laptop is your real significant other. It doesn’t matter how much you disliked texting before, or if you weren’t a fan of Facebook, because being in an LDR means you are suddenly a little too dependent on all forms of technology and internet-related activities. You will fall asleep cradling your laptop, and experience minor anxiety at the thought of being away from your phone. You will quickly become one of those girls you always rolled your eyes at, constantly attached to some kind of screen, because you have NOTHING ELSE. 3. But you’ll also become an expert on the latest messaging/calling apps. This one particularly applies for my relationship-across-countries homies, because being in an LDR means you are up to date on everything from Viber to Avocado. You lament the poor connectivity of Viber, and pray that one day Facetime won’t drain your data plan. Every new app that promises better messaging, cooler functionality, and anything to help you communicate with your significant other will be downloaded in seconds. But a few days later you’ll probably just revert back to Whatsapp. 4. You might become a bit of a slob. Sorry, but if you’re the type of person who dresses up to attract the opposite sex, get prepared for sweatpant city. Your boyfriend/girlfriend can’t see you, you’re not out to get laid, and you’ll slowly stop giving a crap about what you look like. Until Skype time. Then it’s sweatpants on the bottom, make-up and cute tee up top. 5. Sometimes, being apart from your significant other is AWESOME Never feel bad for enjoying alone time. If you’re in an LDR, you get the independence of being single with the comfort of a relationship. No-one mentions the fact that the alone time that comes as part of an LDR can actually be really fun. You can go to the gym, you can go out, you can spend hours watching TV. Yes, obviously, you can still do those things if your BF/GF is in the vicinity, but you might have to check in first, or you may feel bad about saying no to hanging out. Being in an LDR means you always have space whenever you need it. SCORE. 6. Arguments suck. When you’re physically together during an argument, things pretty much have to get resolved. When you’re in an LDR, however, you can drag that stuff out for DAYS. You can ignore texts and refuse to video chat. You can go to bed angry and stew in your rage and it can be SO hard to sort things out. 7. You often feel like you’re missing out Not missing out on the sex and all that jazz, but missing out on the food, and the movies, and all the fun activities couples do together. That new restaurant you’re dying to try? Nope, not until your significant other gets a train/plane ticket. LDRs mean no go-to dinner/movie/gallery partner. Damnit. 8. You’ll become a LOT more open-minded when it comes to relationships. You’ll realize that relationships aren’t so black and white, and won’t be able to criticise your friends’ dating choices so harshly, because you’re suddenly very aware that your choices are completely irrational and impractical. But you do it for love. Aww. You’ll also have to open yourself up to new things you never thought you’d do. *cough* Sexy skype times *cough* 9. Reunions are often awkward. And it’s always SO frustrating, because you love each other and there’s never any weird pauses over the phone. But no matter what you do, the first half an hour or so of reuniting after a long period apart feels so weird and stilted. It’s okay, it will pass. Still so weird though. 10. You will go through the most intense highs and lows. You will love them more intensely than you thought possible, you will miss them to a point you never thought you could endure. You will cry tears of happiness when you see them at the airport, then cry all the way home when you leave. LDRs are whirlwinds of emotions. They’re wonderful and horrible and we all know that rationally, they’re not the best idea. But we do them anyway, because love makes us crazy and crazy feels good sometimes. And sometimes, it all works out okay. Better than okay, actually. No-one ever seems to mention the LDRs that actually last, but honestly, they do exist.

If this topic is just to get attention or generate controversy, then it has failed in both respects. First, that's something spouses deliberately way before courtship. And even if both parties agree to have babies in marriage, they should compulsorily go for a fertility test. Churches even insist on this nowadays. Who knows, After several abortions, incompletely/improperly treated STDs, using of their man/woman-hood for whatever rituals, then you come up and play the 'save the world, make it a better place' card. I tell every girl I hang out with that I would like to have 3 kids of my own and we adopt the 4th. [Here it perfectly makes sense to play that Michael Jackson save the world card] Most ladies ask that if they told me they can't give birth to the fourth. I just tell them the rationale behind the adoption Spouses had better come TOTALLY CLEAN about their sex-ual past, and reason for adopting [in addition to their own kids] instead of the pseudo captain save the world attitude |

| Education › Re: Reasons Why You Forget What You Read by eckersley: 8:44am On Oct 22, 2014*. Modified: 2:09pm On Oct 22, 2014 |
freezyprinzy:SIX REASONS YOU FORGET WHAT YOU READ 1. Inadequate attention to what you wish to remember The first cause of forgetfulness is lack of proper attention to what we wish to remember. The result is that the experience does not make a strong enough impression on us. We forget because we do not pay sufficient attention to what we want to remember in order to imprint it firmly on our mind. A good memory therefore depends upon attention to what is to be remembered. Since one cannot attend to more than one thing at a time, give your full attention to what you wish to remember. 2. Lack of revision or rehearsal It is normal to forget most of what is learned within a few days after learning it unless it is constantly revised to keep it fresh in mind. Much of what we learn is forgotten almost as soon as we learn it. The little that remains after that is forgotten more gradually. Research has proven that after one hour, 56 percent of the material which we have read such as the one you are reading right now will be forgotten, but after nine hours, only a further 8% will have been forgotten; after two days, only a further 6 percent and only a further 7 percent after as long as one month. In other words, about 70 percent of the amount which was forgotten in the first month was forgotten in the first hour of the month. 3. Interference of other activities during or just after study time Research has shown that other activities we pursue after learning something interfere with our ability to retain and remember it later. I n other words, we forget something we've learnt because we learnt other things subsequently. How much you will forget actually depends on how similar the interfering activity is with what is being learnt. Interference is most helpful when the interfering materials or activities are very similar to the material being read. Another way interference occurs is when what has happened previously interferes with what is happening now. Work which precedes learning also tends to interfere with the retention of the learned material. What happened before our study time could cause us to forget what we've read as well as what happened afterwards. 4. Repression of what is being learnt for some reasons Repression is the act of controlling strong emotions and desires and not allowing them to be expressed so that they no longer seem to exist. It occurs in the context of forgetting what we've read when we prevent ourselves from becoming aware of some tendency active in our mind which opposes the desire to recall by a strong resistance or wish not to recall. Oftentimes, we more easily forget a memory which conflicts with our comfort or self esteem than one which does not. This is why what is repressed may not be unpleasant in itself but may have been associated with something else which is unpleasant. For example, it easier to forget what your lecturer said in that "seemly unending" class than it is to forget your first trip to Dubai. 5. Wrong Nutrition or Diet It has been discovered that the kind of food we eat plays an important role in our memory. Research has proven that people suffer physically and mentally because of two things: the food they eat and the food they refuse to eat. Eating foods such as highly seasoned dishes, much meat, salt and stale food affect our brains. Certain items like cigarettes, alcohol, and caffeine also negatively affect our brain. These foods and items are part of a bad nutritional diet because they hamper the blood and energy circulation in the body and mind. 6. Lack of good rest and adequate sleep For most students, one of the most neglected areas of their lives is sleep. Are you so busy studying or working that you are not getting all the sleep that your body needs? Most adults need about 7 to 8 consecutive hours of sleep each night; children and adolescents need quite a bit more. If you aren't getting enough quality sleep, your memory is one of the first parts to suffer. You need sleep to create important memory links and connections. When you first learn something, that information is fragile; the imprint on your brain is very delicate. When you sleep, your brain reviews that information and forges stronger pathways so it becomes a more solid part of your knowledge base. In other words, if you don't get enough sleep, you will have memory trouble. If you have been sleep deprived, then getting enough sleep is one of the easiest and fastest ways to improve your memory.

chimajii:Well, I will dignify ur cursing/attitude with a response I came to know abt u thru ur complaint/warning thread on d football forum, Beware of Mrbyod[I hope I spelt that right] and how he 'defrauded' you. And from what I said [those interested can read that up], u replied u have ur own thread for tennis. I searched for it and read through, from page 1 to the last. On doing so, did I ever consider going into tennis BECAUSE OF YOUR SUCCESS RATE? God knows, YES. Did I make any move to reach u abt this? HE also knows, NO Have I played any of ur FREE PICKS? NO. NO.NO In your thread u mentioned God a lot how He's been responsible for ur success etc [Most punters don't acknowledge this] I was overwhelmed by such 'humility.' As much as you come off as very authoritarian with a Nobody-says-anything-that-rubs-me-the-wrong-way and an I-know-it-all attitude, I blv everyone has their area[s] of challenge[s] But for things degenerating into cursing? Good Lord. Have I ever contacted u? Via email, GSM, land line, post, express post[DHL] etc, Whats app, Viber, Facebook- U name it? NO. Sometimes, we all find it difficult [if not impossible] to blv people. That's perfectly understandable in a world glut with broken trust, LIES, DECEPTION and the whole nine yards One way I've gotten the little circle of those around me to believe me when I talk. If I'm not telling the truth, God should make ME BARREN, UNFRUITFUL, AND NOTHING GOOD SHOULD EVER HAPPEN TO ME AND LET ME BECOME A NONENTITY IN LIFE, etc.. Then the people I'm talking to will say, You don't have to go that far nowww. I tell them not to worry cos the curses will be on me, not them. Check my post https://www.nairaland.com/1924512/wish-she-never-told-me/2#26734030 Do u know why I do that? My cardinal sin is LYING[ in any ramification] You can steal, kill, abort, etc and still be my friend. But the day I catch u lying, Its game over. We can still talk, but I will nvr b able to blv ath u say AND I ALSO CAN'T STAND BEING CALLED A LIAR But here u stand, wrongfully accusing me [Eckersley ] of contacting u and many more But can you, Chimajii, put ursf under a curse that I contacted you? Pls DON'T. I forgive u all that. You may come back and curse/accuse the hell out of me again. But do u wanna know my response then? NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Finally, will I continue to follow ur thread thereafter? Yes. And for as long as I can Peace to you all 3 Likes 1 Share |
