I went on the link and guess what it said. This is a message from the government. Freeexampapers.com is shut down The Admin have been taken outside and shot. You will have to buy exam papers from our official publishers from now on." This is no joke. If you don't believe me go on the site yourself! Just felt like sharing that randomly! Feel free to tell us about your funny encounters!

Hello everyone, I've just realized that there isn't a thread for chatting about random stuff that merge IB and non-IB issues. I know that the rest of the threads are much more specific, but more broad conversations (where everyone can talk about anything - things that don't fit in the other threads) are nice to have around here. I'm talking about interests, random questions, post-exam feelings and comments on anything. You know, to connect, share opinions, ehm.. increase posts.. Ok, I guess I'll start. Long have I wanted to know what went wrong in the Chemistry May 2007 exam. People talk and talk but you can't seem to get a real answer. So we started off with our seni…

does it give you a feeling of belonging or of being common? do you long for a clever nickname? are you also cursed with a dull last name? do you plan to change your name? have you ever considered using your embarrassing second name just so that you could be different? how many other Sara people do you know? how many are in your direct environment? do you fear associations with other less awesome Sara’s? or perhaps you wish to be associated with a Sara more awesome then yourself? do you sometimes feel offence (or pride) at behaviour of a TV Sara? or any fiction Sara? and finally, why did your parents call you this? im named Sara Malka, meaning princess queen...

Hi! I'm Lena, 18 years old, graduated from the IB in November 2008.

My class was thinking of doing a senior prank this year after we finish our IB exams in May. Does anyone have any good ideas for pranks, that have either been done before or that they're planning to do? We don't want to do anything stupid, like toilet-papering the school and trashing the halls, or blocking off traffic. Nothing retarded like this which means that we have to clean up a huge mess. My school has a tradition of doing completely unfunny pranks that are destructive. Two years ago some seniors broke into school and trashed the principal's office (they smashed his computer and furniture), and then went on destroy a teacher's favourite painting that was framed o…

State what you think about grades with how they pertain to motivating you to do better and learn more. USA students preferred, but anyone can give their opinion.

This is a cute little flash game. I've seen it all over the web. You randomly generate a fighter character and pit them against others. You get weapons, animals, abilities and upgrades as you level up. The fights are based on your and your foe's stats/abilities but of course have a random element to them too. Post your character's link and we can fight each other. It's not a bad way to blow off 5-10minutes a day if you're bored. http://subw00fer.mybrute.com

catullus poem 85 "Odi et amo. Quare id faciam, fortasse requiris. nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior." translation: "I hate and I love. Why would I do this, perhaps you ask? I do not know. But I feel that it happens and I am tortured." we all say from time to time, some more often than others, that we hate IB or that it's killing us. but when asked why we still do it or why we don't quit we quickly deny any desire to leave. i think it's just a mixture of Stockholm syndrome and masochism.

there are heaps of instances where people say they're sorry, but there's that little glitch. As the title suggest I'm going to be quite abit controversal, but I really do not mean to offend anyone reading. so here goes 1. aus's sorry day: a) I understand the symbolism of the event, but the people we are dealing with (on both sides) aren't even the orginial people... Where was the purpose in that? Most people don't even feel (on both sides again) the proper emotions becuase it is so removed from them. I'm a 1st generation immigrant... I'm Australian though... and I'm sorry because my ancestors were over in another country km away? b) romeo and juliet: oh how nice... the …

So my best friend started an online magazine sometime last year and we've been trying to promote it for a while now. It's called "Word!" and it's sort of like an avenue for young opinions. I have a feeling some of you here would find the zine of great interest. The most recent March issue is our best one yet. It has articles on abortion, tween sexualization by the media, and democracy, among other things. If you have the time, I'd also love for you to check out my article on Islamic history revisionism, I'm really proud of it. Feel free to write something for us! http://wordwebzine.com/ Discuss.

And to those university kids who already graduated, what did you do? I plan to: - travel (hopefully Paris, Istanbul, Moscow, all the nice big cities in Europe... not very likely though, considering how broke I am) - TRAVEL MORE (yeah, more realistically, road trip around where I live?) - SLEEEEEEPPPP

I know that there are people who actually enjoy the work IB thrusts upon them, but there are things that people like IB in general. In this post I was wondering if like, well, let's start a game. Post your favorite things about IB, whether it be the people you meet, the memories you make, etc. Be specific! I'll do mine... My favorite part of being an IB student is the family you create with your other students. You all lean against each other for everything it it's awesome. You get to make awesome memories (Like running through the halls to your ex-biology teacher and getting her to print your parts C and F of your IA...) and stuff. Your turn!

The concern whether it is ethical to use the custom essay writing (link removed) services or not is one of the major matters of discussion among the college students and academic teachers. Now that I have realized the complexities of the current scenario, I have decided to put this article to talk about the issue of hiring any Custom Essay writer as compare to working on it individually. I believe Custom Essays writing services to be ethical but how students use it is certainly debatable and controversial. Students should take these services as part of their tuition. It is just like usage of computers or television which are legal to be sold but these accessories can be u…
