How NOT to study for your Exam
Leaving it till the last minute
Or more specifically 'last day'. You should start studying for your exam days before the initial test.
Getting an itchy hair cut
It is unwise to get a hair cut on the night of last minute studying, one of those hair cuts that makes you feel itchy all over no matter how much you washed your hair.
SAY you'll get started
Don't say you will get started on studying, and actually study. Instead of watching videos on youtube of Michael Jordan making buzzer beaters.
Eat Food
It's okay to have a little snack, but don't be grabbing bean burritos from Taco Bell. Because that just doesn't sit well in your stomach, and during crunch time, every minute matters.
Communicating with your Peers
It is wise to turn off MSN or any type of communicating device, unless it is exam related. Or else you will find yourself in a heated debate about which season of Grey's Anatomy is better. Interesting? Yes. But too time consuming.

How to be Hated... Unanimously
It's difficult being liked, you have to be nice all the time. But being hated is easy, you don't have to do anything. Well that's untrue, if you wanted to be hated by everyone there are 10 steps you need to take in order to achieve your goal:
1. Be conceived and born on July 6, into a rich and prosperous family.
2. Graduate from Yale university and Harvard business school.
3. Work in the oil industry for a while and then run for the Governor of Texas.
4. Win a controversial election for the 43rd President of United States.
5. 8 Months into your term, have terrorist attack your country on September 11. Have the
terrorists funded by your country(al-Qaeda).
6. Declare global War on "terrorism" and invade Afghanistan
7. Convince the public that Iraq is making "Weapons of Mass Destruction" with little to no proof. Then invade Iraq for other reasons concerning oil.
8. Barely win your re-election.
9. Handle a natural disaster in your country poorly, and have a pop icon disrespect you on live television.
10. Leave on a low note, as in finish up your term whilst the beginning of a economic meltdown.
Congratulations ! You are now hated world wide, and will go down in history accordingly.

How to Survive Robot Invasion
Scenario:
A super computer becomes self concious, and invades Earth via robots.
1. Get your hands on a quantum laser ray/blaster
2. You were unsuccessful? Fool!
3. Gather all the food you can get that are non perishable. Forget money, these robots cannot be bribed.
4. Get your hands on a working car and drive, if you are stopped by robots, wait till you are completely surrounded. At the exact moment they are about to be vaporize you, throw an object up in the air as a diversion, while you dash towards the closest robot, and use it as a shield why the other robots blast it to pieces. Don't wait till the smoke clears up, just run for it.
5. Locate a vantage point, and scout out the area for other robots. Make your hide-out there.
6. Spot the girl of your dreams from your hide-out being attacked by an evil robot, and rescue the damsel in distress.
7. Capture the evil robot and send it back in time to stop the super computer from ever being made. And also to prevent myself from writing this blog.

Top 6 Exercises to...
Whether you are going for the beach physique or trying to prepare yourself for the inevitable zombie apocalypse, these exercises will enhance your daily routines, whatever it may be.
This exercise is often overlooked, but it increases flexibility and decreases the chance of injury. There are different types of stretches that you should use in your daily exercise routine.
Dynamic Stretches: http://www.brianmac.co.uk/dynamic.htm
Static Stretches: Which are regular stretches
Tip: Try to hit every major muscle, don't just focus on lower body or upper body.
2. Sprinting
Is an amazing exercise that works your whole body, it is a lot more rewarding than jogging. 20-30 minute of interval sprinting burns calories, relieve stress, increase metabolic rate for days, and an efficient way to tone muscles to get the sculpted look.
Your body struggles to recover after a intense work out, thus resulting in your body burning fat even after working out. Another benefit is the muscles you build are fast twitch fibers, which are bulkier than normal slow twitch fibers that are created from low intensity exercises. Great for people that want to look buff.
3. Sit Up
Do large varieties of different AB work outs, to build your core muscles, this will increase your balance and reduce the chance of injuries.
Variations of sit ups:
4. Push Up
This exercise is plain awesome, it targets your chest, triceps, back muscles, and abs. The key to doing push ups is intensity, try doing explosive push ups. There are literally dozens of ways to do push ups, and they are all beneficial.
5. Pull Up
This exercise may be difficult for those just starting to work out, but don't fret. Even if you cannot do 1 pull up, start by doing "negatives". Use something sturdy to elevate yourself to chin level with the pull up bar, and hold the position as long as you can and slowly let yourself down, do reps of 8-10, and do 3 sets for each work out regime.
6. Swimming
It's a full body work out that, gives the V shape body that every guy wants. It actually burns more calories than jogging. It is also a great stress reliever and a awesome way to end a work out.

How to Prank your Friends
Yo yo yo! It's your 'homie' Benson, and I know how your siblings can get on your nerves sometimes or you just want to get back at your friends for getting Burger King at a sleepover, while you were asleep, and they came back without anything for you. Here are some simple pranks you can play on them.
1. Saran Wrap
Cover the toilet bowl with saran wrap. Wait.
Outcome: When your victim goes to the washroom to relieve themselves, they will be in for a little surprise.
2. Toilet Ketchup Explosion
Tuck ketchup packs between the toilet seat and the toilet bowl.
Outcome: When your victim sits on the toilet the ketchup packs will explode, splashing the back of their knees with ketchup! Voila.
3. Jello Writing Utensils
I got this from the hit show "The Office"(UK/US) and one of the characters would imbed their victim's writing utensils in jello.
Outcome: It's just funny to see their reaction, confused and unsure of what to do.
4. Musical Door
Buy one of those Hallmark cards that start playing music when you open the card, and remove the little chip and it's components. Place it in between the hinges of your victim's door.
Outcome: Mysterious music plays every time your friend opens his or her door, it could take them days to figure this one out.

From a young age he had a large variety of hobbies. Yo-yo-ing, card games, basketball, skateboarding, swimming, drawing, video games, performing, dancing, telekinesis, track&field, rapping, films, skiing, comics, and art, etc. He was never really acknowledged for any special talents, but instead he gained a large array of life experiences. Unfortunately these life experiences were not very practical. But he would still like to share them with the world wide web.
Benson enjoys long walks on the beach, but thinks candle lit dinners are overrated. He currently resides in Scarborough, forty meters above sea level. But he hopes to one day live in a house by the beach in Australia. Or live an igloo in Antarctica.
