  • Once when we were studying in biology class, when I was maybe 14 or 15, the teacher leaves the room and comes back with this sort of telly on the wheelie stand thing; he was trying to surprise us with an educational distraction from textbooks and, it was good on paper.

    He must have forgotten to rewind the VHS or something, of a nature documentary, and the entire class got an immediate scene of two wildebeast trying to repopulate the Savannah by themselves.

    I mean it did work, since it was a great distraction whilst he frantically Goku punched the Stop button as fast as he could, before pressing rewind.










  • Which one? There are various different stereotypes, and many have roots in some rather shameful aspects of History (e.g.: treatment of slaves). I understand the down votes on this question, however I do suggest people research various stereotypes revolving around ‘black’ men and women. I personally found it rather shocking to discover how many terms, which are used for a general prejudice of all people, originated through harsh exercise of bigotry.







  • I remember, in university, at the start of a Latin American History class the lecturer walks in with boxes and straight up asks, “SO WHO WANTS TO DO COCAINE?!?”

    Then proceeds to take out coca leaf tea bags, offers everyone a cup, and explains how she was intentionally wrong in her statement to highlight a big issue. She explained the Native use of coca leaf, and how they have suffered from people using their sacred herb in concentrated and illicit ways.

    She also gave me a box to take home, because I said it helped with my stomach cramps (medical issue), and it really did. No addiction felt either.

    With some teachers you can really tell how passionate they are.


  • Depends on how my mind is. If I need to concentrate because I am anxious, I try to put on something without serious lyrics, though gentle enough to calm my anxiety down. If I am calm yet finding it hard to focus, I tend to put on light music that I usually listen to, like my most listened to tracks: I find these tracks are the easiest to drown out with the least distractions, as I already know in my head where the tracks are going, however with new tracks even instrumentals when I lose concentration I tend to focus too much on the new tunes and such.

    Many times I don’t listen to anything as my head is too cluttered that way.
