Advice column by Halla
Dear Yellow My boss was hire new girl to come and work with us. My boss told me that I was going to help her out and teach her everything that she would need to know. I did that and it should take about one week to learn this, but she just can’t learn it. My boss gets mad and tells her to fix things and maybe print something and she messes that up… it’s not that hard to print out some pictures. She messes up the computer settings and our boss gets angry and lets it go all to the computer gay, but he is doing all he can and it is so not his fault that this girl can’t get this right. So my
question to you dear Yellow magazine is what can I do to help fixing this and setting things right again in my work place…??? -The woman how is tired of her boss yelling at the computer gay
Yellow answers
understand and get her to work harder on what she is doing
In that kind of situation could you just go and talk to your boss and get him to talk about this on a work meeting. Or just go and talk to the person that dose make the boss so angry and try to help her
because this is reality and if you do not notes that someone is really tired of you then that is something that you should work on! -H.R.E

Interview by Júlía
I took an interview with Guðrún she is from Stykkishólmur and now that she is 16 years old she started in the school FSu at Selfossi. While she is in school there she lives with her grandma. The reason why Guðrún went all the way to Slefoss in school is so she can study all about horses and stuff like that. Guðrún was very stressed to go to the school the first day because she didn’t know anyone, but that changed very fast, it didn’t take her a long time to get new friends. But now that she has friends in the school she is very happy there. Guðrún likes to spend her free time on horseback riding, going to the gym or hang out with friends. Guðrún loves to travel, her best memory is in 2010 when she went to Florida with her family, and she told me that if she would sometime win the lottery she would like to travel the world with her mother or her best friend. But first she would like to go to Paris. Guðrún is very proud of her
grandmother because she overcame the cancer she had a year ago, and she would like to take her with her to Paris sometime. -J.L.V

Charity week in FSU by Mรกney
The last three years, FSU has held a charity week every October to support a good cause. During this week, students get the opportunity to challenge each other or even teachers to do something that goes just beyond their comfort zone by summing money on them, if they take the challenge. Carnival is held in
he middle of the week where all the students council have a booth and all the other students can participate in if they only pay a little money. The charity week usually ends up with the last celebration in Iรฐa where teachers compete against students in blind football as well as the challenges that had been made this week were shown and other construction on site. Last
year the charity week ended very successfully and over 500.000 kr. were gathered. This charity is held to support a children's village in Nigeria called Jos. All the money that is gathered goes to help them to pay for school, and to support them in general. The charity week is very good in the sense that it's nice to see students and teachers play their part to help a good cause. -M.A.R

Every episode of Friends will make you laugh so hard and get you into a good mood. The series started in 1994 and ended in 2004. The six friends names are Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler, Joey and Ross. Everyone of them has their own and unique personality.

The way that the shows are written, how funny they are and how the actors are always so confident in front of the live audience, makes the show very interesting, and that’s why their worth watching. All the 10 season are great as well as the actors. -M.A.R

Boys Fashion by Júlía
Boys fashion is not that complicated it's really not that complicated knowing what boys wear nowadays. Boys attend to wear jackets, skinny ripped jeans, Nike shoes, and long tees like there are many clothing designers that design these types of clothes like Inklaw clothing, imVitalle and sixthjune these clothes are actually made for street clothing which boys wear a lot nowadays. That right there was the street style now we go onto the classier style. The classy style for men is much more of a layering style and more formal clothing, let’s take an example of what types of clothing they would wear maybe a white shirt on the inside and then a black jumper on the outside then he would wear skinny black jeans and then a pair of jack and jones boots and then the accessories he would wear a DW watch that is the more classier type thank you very much for reading this. -J.L.V

Halloween Along time ago Halloween was a pagan holiday called Samhain or All Hallows' eve. It was originally like pagan New Year celebration. Some people who are Wiccan still celebrate this but for most North Americans it's just Halloween In North America lots people decorate their houses with Halloween decorations. All kinds of funny and some scary you will see skeletons, creepy spiders, tombstones, witches and ghosts. Mostly orange and black are Halloween colours. People also carve pumpkins in to jack-olanterns. You cut a hole in the top, and then scoop out all the "guts" and seeds. Then cut a face into it. Some of these pumpkins can be very fancy, or just a simple face. On Halloween we put a candle inside the jacko-lantern and the face kind of glows. On Halloween night as soon as the sun sets kids put on costumes and goes trick or treating. They go door to door in their neighbourhood. When someone answers the door they yell "trick or treat". Most people will give them a small candy. Some will ask for a trick, sometimes kids will sing a song or do a silly dance. Older kids may come back later to "TP" the neighbour’s house! That means they wrap toilet paper thru trees and basically make a big mess. Thankfully this doesn't happen often.
Lots of people have Halloween parties with lots of food and drinks. A traditional Halloween game is called bobbing for apples. This is when a large tub is filled with water and kids try to grab floating apples out of it with only their teeth. Lots of communities have really scary haunted houses or Halloween in the park. This is where some volunteers wear costumes and customers walk thru. Basically the volunteers try to scare the customers. Some local amusements parks actually have Halloween nights and scare nights. We went to one once where people in really terrifying costumes chased us with actual chain saws! I won't do that again. -H.R.E
