Quick guide to making your own calender

Even though 2013 is already on its way out, it’s never too early to start planning ahead. So even though it may seem a bit premature, making your own personalised 2014 calender will have you entering the new year with focus and direction, knowing that you have a lovely calender to map out the new year before it has even begun.

Here’s how:

1. Head to a place that has digital printing equipment, where you can have images printed in high quality. Also, usually these places can also create a grid for your calender, which will save you the trouble of  battling with a pen and ruler.

2. Choose a font that like, and decorate each month accordingly. Be creative and match up fonts with different themes, for example, October can be styled to reflect Halloween.

3. Date each block in the grid, and mark the most important dates off in a different colour.

Done!

Choosing the Right Tertiary Education Courses

Deciding what to do after you leave high school can be really tough. Some people are lucky and know exactly where they want to go and what they want to do. Others are faced with sleepless nights, tossing and turning over which course they want to take and whether or not this is the right plan for them. Below are a few tips that will prove useful to anyone who finds themself in such a position.

• What?

It is of utmost importance to make sure that the course of study chosen is one that you will enjoy. This will help to keep your levels of motivation up throughout the course, as the idea of the final outcome is something to look forward to, whether it’s a career in surgery or hotel management.

• Where?

Choosing an institution that you think you will be happy in is just as important as choosing one with a good reputation. Considering the department, lecturers and programmes are all important factors in making the decision regarding which environment suits you best. For example, if you want to get your international hospitality management degree, you need to consider which institutions provide practical experience and are recognised overseas.

• How?

One of the most difficult aspects of furthering one’s education is figuring out how to fund it. The cost of tertiary education has shot up drastically in the past few years, with the average undergraduate degree now costing roughly R80 000. Student loans, bank loans and part-time jobs are most definitely options that need to be considered.

• When?

One of the biggest mistakes that school-leavers make is thinking that they have to go and study straight away. Some people need to take a year or two’s gap between Grade 12 and 1^st year. This allows them to gain some perspective and decide whether or not they are going into the right field of study. Furthermore, it gives them time to earn some money in a part or full-time job, helping them to reduce the financial pressures that first year can bring.

Too many people leave too much riding on the fact that they will figure out which career path they are best suited to on their first attempt. What is important to remember is that universities and colleges can generally be very flexible and accommodating with students who wish to change direction at a later stage (with a few exceptions, depending on how big the change is.). Stressing about the initial decision will only lead to panic and irrational thought, causing many people to choose a path that they are simply unhappy with.

The Complete Package

I never thought I would fall for “the whole insurance scam” when I was younger. Why pay someone money
each month for absolutely nothing right? Why give your hard earned cash away and see no reward for your
labour.

Time it seems has given me the wisdom to know why, for security. Sure, years might go by without anything going in your life, but when that day does come around and you are insured, you will thank your lucky stars! Salary Protection Insurance, Disability Cover, Serious Illness Cover all come together to form a complete package which you can trust to help you when you need it most. There are many companies out there for this, Frank.Net stands head and shoulders above the rest in my opinion.

Take up a hobby this winter

Winter has finally announced itself, which means that many days for next few months will be spent indoors – but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Why not step away from your PS3 (or your choice gaming platform) and acquire the rewarding, life-long skill of learning an instrument.

Whether it is the melodic sounds that emanate from the acoustic guitar or the precision of the flute that appeals to you, our store and team will be able to accommodate you. The extensive range of second hand instruments will fulfil your needs and not put a heavy dent in your pocket.

Studies have shown that the playing of a musical instrument can rapidly reduce stress (a debilitating nuisance that we have all felt at some point in our lives). It is also a wonderful relaxation medium at any social gathering of friends. The ambient tunes flow into your soul while you sit around the warmth of the fire and enjoy some laughs and a sing-along with your friends.

If you already have an instrument but are craving the need to upgrade, then we will be happy to oblige. Any instrument that you bring to one of our conveniently located outlets, will be bought for a generous price, which allows you to acquire that Fender or Gibson guitar that you have always wanted.

Spinning the decks at a popular nightclub, is a passion that many of us have, but the constant rise in the petrol price, means that all goods that require transport have to be marked up in price – there is no getting around this and this is why the purchase of second-hand DJ equipment has become a mainstream practice. Find a trader that specialises in high-quality second-hand equipment and, through the affordable prices, will aid you in your quest to provide ear-blowing entertainment for all the nightclub goers, who are in great need to just let loose after a hectic week of studying or work.

We give you the opportunity to turn your passions into a reality. Get to your local branch now and make it happen.
