DIY Passion Tea Lemonade

Welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to be showing you how to make your own passion fruit tea lemonade from Starbucks! If you have been to Starbucks, you probably have tasted this drink. It's very refreshing and also very good for warm weathers. It's a perfect mix of fruity, sweet and tart. In the spring and summer time, I usually always get the Passion Tea Lemonade. Sometimes you may not want to buy it and save money instead, so I'm going to show you how to make this delicious and easy drink with ingredients you may already have lying around in your kitchen.

First gather up all your ingredients. This includes Tazo passion tea bags (you can buy at target), a sweetener of your choice (sugar, honey), ice, water (for heating), and lemonade. There is no exact measurement because you can make as much or as little as you would prefer. 

The next thing you will need to do is make the tea. Just take the tea bags and place them in hot water, into a container. Let them sit for a few hours or so to make the flavors all come out. By the way, this may take a long time for the tea, but it's all worth it at the end. Next remove the tea from the heat and add your sweetener. Let the drink sit in the refrigerator for one hour and then take it out. After, add your lemonade to the tea mixture. Make sure to mix it very well. Next take a glass and put ice and add your Passion Tea Lemonade. Enjoy! 

That's how you make your very own Passion iced tea lemonade! It takes a long time to make but you will not regret it. Thanks for reading my blog, and I will talk to you guys next week! 

School Adivce

Hey, I'm back with another blog! As you can tell by the title, I'm going to give you advice about school and how you can get better grades. In one of my previous blogs, I wrote about tips for getting better grades and doing well in the class, well today it's about things like being organized and how to manage your time wisely. School is very important in your life and it also helps to determine your future and goals. So doing well and learning new ways to manage and be organized is very important.

The first tip is being organized. Being organize is very helpful and important when you have multiple classes and worksheets. You can find papers and worksheet's easier by using folders or binders. Seperate each class by using colors or highlighters. There are many ways to be organized, so you can find the way that you like best. Arranging your textbooks and materials are very helpful too. Another part of being organized is keeping a calendar. Write down when all your assignments are due and when you will take your tests. This way you can always be aware of upcoming events and ways to study properly.

The second tip is writing notes and asking questions. Notes are a key for taking tests and keeping material inside your head. You can write down all the important stuff that you need to learn and it's a great way to review for a test. But make sure you are listening to what the teacher is saying and not what is being written on the board. Asking questions are also very important because it will keep you active and also shows your teacher that you are participating in the class discussion.

The last tip is to plan and always put effort into all your work. Homework is not a fun thing to do, but it a way to progress what you know outside of the class. If you have a lot of work to do in one night, make sure to plan ahead or make a schedule for each assignment. Also, it's important to take breaks once every often so it will keep your mind fresh and not cram up all the information. Lastly, if you have a big project or essay, start them early! This is very important because instead of waiting until the last minute, it's better to be over with it soon and not have to worry about it later on when you don't have enough time.

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and use my tips to improve your school studies! I'll talk to you guys in my next blog.

To kill a Mockingbird

Hey, everyone! At the moment, I am reading a book called "To kill a mockingbird" by Harper Lee. Harper Lee died yesterday, which was really unfortunate considering I just began reading her book. So, as I read the book I decided to write about each chapter and it seems like a good story so far. Today in my blog, I will be talking about chapter one. The first chapter of the book isn't really that interesting because it has very complicated text and is just introducing the characters, but the story starts to get better and more interesting throughout the rest of the chapters.

The story starts by introducing the narrator and her brother's story. Scout is a confident and intelligent  girl who is also referred to as a tomboy. Scout starts to describe her brother, Jem's, broken hand injury. They start to discuss their family's history and what causes led to Jem's injury. The first of their ancestors was Simon Finch, a fur trader who left England and found a farm on the banks of the Alabama river. The farm was very successful and had supported their family for many years. Jem and Scout's dad, Atticus, became a lawyer in Maycomb, Alabama. Maycomb was a tired and old town. Also, his brother, Jack, became a very good doctor in Boston's medical school. Calpurnia, their black cook, helps to take care and raise the kids after their mother died. During the summer of 1933, a young boy named Dill moves in next door to stay with his aunt. Dill was a very active and intelligent boy, who had become the Finches new close friend. One day, all three of them decided to go to their mysterious neighbor, Boo Radley, and convince him to come out of his house. Boo Radley was the next door neighbor who has never came out of his house after he supposedly murdered his father. So, Dill challenges Jem to run over and touch the door of the house, which is also known as the Radley's place. As Jem does the dare, he see's a slight shutter from the inside of the door and they all became scared.

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog of the first chapter of "To kill a Mockingbird" and I will be continuing the rest of the story later on as I read it.
