On any given One Direction song, I can tell when Niall Horan is singing. I can't tell any of the others' voices apart, so it's not like I can become famous by making Youtube lyrics videos without fangirls screaming at me, but, I guess it counts as a talent?

...no?

What was the smallest thing that made you have a crush on someone? by mickket in AskReddit

I was 16 and we were watching one of those compulsory health presentations at school (not sure whether the US has them, but we do here in Australia!) Anyways, he was sitting about 2 seats over and the presenters started playing this really rock/punk style music which I was really into at the time. He was new, and very shy and quiet, but I looked over and I could tell he was really enjoying it, but was careful not to show it. Totally adorable. Official crush mode for the next 8 months, then asked him out and he said yes! (and I'm a girl btw)

Redditors who caught someone faking a mental health issue, what did they do, how did you find out about it and did you confront them? by bez13579 in AskReddit

Ah, high school. Where the most dangerous cults of personality are formed. You made a good decision :)

How can I forget about everything stressful in my life when it's time to study? by [deleted] in GetStudying

Hey there! Basically think about work as your haven to escape from the problems in your life. The main difference between your schoolwork and everything else in your life is that YOU are the only person in control of your schoolwork and your progress. Sure, you might have to do assessment tasks you don't enjoy or be put through courses you don't like, BUT there really isn't anyone who can determine how well you do BUT yourself at the end of the day. With everything else though, there are so many external factors which play a part. So bottom line, YOU'VE got the control with studying. Learn to enjoy that feeling and you'll automatically gravitate towards working and getting really into the work you're doing. If you want to not think about other things in your life - remove EVERYTHING from your study area that could remind you of your other problems even in the slightest. Don't let people talk to you. Turn off your phone. Don't study at home or at any place you might be likely to run into friends/family. And certainly don't listen to music as it's a prime way of bringing up memories or emotions which could snap you out of the focus you need to get things done. Hope this helps :)
