Although there are some common triggers for migraines, you need to figure out exactly what triggers your specific migraines. A headache diary can help you determine this. It can also help you and your doctor monitor the effectiveness of treatments. Being able to review a record of things done, eaten, experienced, and felt during the 24 hours prior to the onset of a migraine can teach you a great deal about your personal triggers.  Start the diary by asking yourself these questions: When did I start having the headache? How often would I say they are now? Any specific days? Times? How can I describe the pain of the headache? Any triggers? Do I have different types of headaches? Does anyone else in the family experience headaches? Do I notice vision changes with your headaches? Do I get them around the time I have a period? Track the date, the time from start to finish, the pain rating from 0-10, any triggers, any symptoms beforehand, medications you took for it, and the relief of the migraine. If you have a smart-phone use one of mobile application for migraine to keep track of your migraine, triggers, aura, medication etc. You can find migraine apps for android by searching for migraine or related keyword in google play store. There isn't one singular trigger for migraines. It is unclear exactly what causes migraines and it varies from person to person. Migraines seem to be triggered by a wide variety of different things. It can be something you eat, smell, hear, or see. It can often be linked to your sleeping patterns or daily activities. Make sure you document all the things you do each day so you can pick out your personal triggers after some time has passed. While it will probably not be possible to avoid all migraines, it should be possible to manage them. Go through your migraine diary and try to see what patterns have developed. Look for patterns to find your triggers. Look for particular times of the day, the week, or the season that cause more problems than others.  Map out an approach to managing the prevention of your migraines once you have found the pattern. Put the plan into action, avoid triggers, and be aware of sensitivities. Record the outcomes and stick with anything that works for you to head off migraines. Other possible changes may be taking pain medication at the start of the headache and letting others know the pain you are going through.

summary: Keep a headache diary. Identify your triggers. Create a management plan for migraines.

Why do you want to be an honors student? To get a well-paid job? To make your parents happy? For the sheer love of academics? Motivation can come from inside or outside. The best way to start towards your goal is to know exactly what is motivating you.  Studies suggest that intrinsic motivation, or feeling motivated to do something because it aligns with something you believe or value, is more powerful than extrinsic, or external, motivation. Intrinsic motivation is driven by three basic needs: competence (doing something successfully), relatedness (connecting with other people), and autonomy (feeling in charge of your own life).  For example, if you're motivated to become an honor student because you love performing well at your studies, or because it makes you feel like you're in charge of your education, this is intrinsic motivation. If you are motivated to pursue honor status because you want your parents to be proud of you, or to enhance your resume, this is extrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation isn't a bad thing, but it isn't as strong as intrinsic motivation. yourself. School can throw a lot at you. Take a systematic approach. Have all your books and assignments ready every day and know what's coming. Organization is a key characteristic of honor students.  Do you tend to forget assignments? Try using a daily planner as a way to remember. You can even enter in reminders on your phone or in an online calendar such as Google Calendar or Apple's iCloud Calendar.  Keep separate folders for each course or subject. Make sure you keep all your assignments, notes, rubrics, etc. for the course in this folder. When it comes time to study for an exam or write an essay, you'll have all your material in one place. Set deadlines for yourself. Your teachers likely have deadlines for projects, but setting your own deadlines ahead of these will help you stay on track. Break large projects down into smaller sub-tasks and set a mini-deadline for each task. For example, instead of "term paper due December 4," figure out how much time you will need for each stage of that paper. You'll need time to plan, research, write a draft, revise it, and turn it in (preferably ahead of the due date). Set deadlines for each of those stages. High achievers often keep very regular schedules. The German philosopher Immanuel Kant was so routine that his neighbors set their watches to him! Doing the same tasks regularly, at the same time and place every day, is part of being organized and will put you in a proper mental space.  A routine prepares you to work. Set aside a time each day or each week to work on a subject without distractions. Or, give yourself a quota to meet each day -- so many pages to read or words to write. Make appointments with yourself for study time. Fill them in on your calendar just as you would going to class or soccer practice. Keep these appointments faithfully. Get in the habit of studying for a set amount of time, such as 45 minutes, followed by a 15-minute break. This method is much more effective than trying to study for huge chunks of time. Having a good work-space is important. You need a place that helps you focus on your studies without distractions or interruptions. Figure out what works best for you, and create a study environment that matches those needs.  Some people work best in silence. Others prefer to work to music or background noise. Avoid studying in bed, as this can encourage you to goof off or take a nap instead.  Change up your study locations at times. A desk at home, a library carrel, or a table at a quiet cafe are good choices.

summary: Find your motivation. Organize Set a routine. Create a good study space.

A human interest story is different from more traditional news stories in a number of ways.  While a traditional news story focuses on hard facts and data, a human interest story focuses on individual people or animals and the emotion tied to the circumstances they’re in.  A human interest story should have a focus, such as a person or even a companion animal, that has an experience that warrants telling their story. Identify the emotion the story incites.  Is your story a motivational tale?  Is it a recounting of someone’s personal tragedy? A human interest story can be used to garner support for a cause, change opinions on a topic or bring attention to an important topic that hasn’t received its fair share of press.  Identify what you aim to accomplish through writing your story.   You may want to create sympathy for a person that has experienced a tragedy. You may want to bring attention to a subject of importance. There may be an organization that is viewed in an incorrect light and you hope to shift perceptions of it. Human interest journalism is not without its detractors.  Because of its emphasis on emotion instead of facts, many people believe that human interest stories are manipulative in nature.  Identify common complaints about bad human interest journalism to avoid falling into the same mistakes.  Do not misrepresent the person you focus your story on or other people involved. Base your narrative on real events and the truth of what occurred, instead of what would make for a good story. While you may be creating your piece in support of a certain cause or organization, avoid language that depicts a clear bias.
summary: Assemble the elements of your human interest story. Determine the purpose of your piece. Be aware of the objections to human interest journalism.
