Kamadeva, The God of Love: Godoflove This article was very interesting to me. I do not know much about this story but I know that it involves love and love is something that comes easily to me to talk about. The other part that drew me in was the god riding a chicken with a bow and arrow. I thought it was cute and funny. I would like to learn how he became the god of love and how he uses his abilities.  (Photo by Redtigerxyz,  Kamadeva ) Epic Heroes: Epicheroes This story took my interest because of the title.

Eight Things Students Should do when they make a Mistake: 1.You should know that everyone is in the same boat. We all struggle and we need to learn how to help each other with love and criticism.  2.People want to help!! Crazy, right teachers actually want you to become better.  3. It is all about perspective, learn that they aren't attacking your character just how you put the wording. You are still smart and creative.  4.Learn how to fix problems instead of quitting and pouting.  5. Ask for people to look over your work, they can give you another insight and help with creativity. 6. Find your happy place, there needs to be balanced. Don't stress yourself out.   7.Take a moment to chill, set aside you time to relax and refocus on what the road will bring.  8.Be friendly, just because you are down doesn't mean you need to bring someone else down.
