In the dead of winter, temperatures near the Arctic Circle often dip to well below freezing.
One Sweden native took advantage of the -30° Celsius (-22° Fahrenheit) weather to show off a cool and beautiful process – the freezing of a bubble!
According to a recent study conducted in the Netherlands, kids who listened to “mainstream” music were more likely to be better students, and less likely to commit crimes later in life.
Remember that this is just one study. I’m not sure I buy it! But I am a fan of the thought that listening to One Direction will help me do better in school…
The study, titled “Early Adolescent Music Preferences and Minor Delinquency” looked at 300 kids from the ages of 12 to 16. Their definition of “mainstream” music included not just hot artists like 1D and Justin Bieber, but also classical music and jazz.
Other types of music, such as hip-hop, punk and trance, didn’t seem to have the same correlation with kids.
“Music is the medium that separates mainstream youth from young people who may more easily adopt norm-breaking behaviors,” the study concluded.
Do you think that you music you listen to has a correlation to your behavior? Or does your behavior determine your favorite types of music?
I think that if you’re not into mainstream music, you should defy these findings! Just because I listen to hip-hop doesn’t make me a delinquent. Maybe if they do the study in the U.S., the results will be a little different… Tell me what you think of this all in the comments, or share your thoughts at sweetyhigh.com!

You might not know Rube Goldberg devices are by name, but chances are you’ve seen one of the chain-of-events contraptions in action in a movie. This device happens to be powered by magnets, and seems to deft gravity. Yay, science!
If you’re young and love to blog, a new pilot study says that it might actually be good for you – and good for everyone around you too. The study shows that most teens use blogs in a positive way to strengthen relationships.
Ohio State University studied 100 teen bloggers, and found that most of the time, teens write about “studying, participating in school activities, [and] spending time with family.” Sounds about right to us!
What do you blog about? Are you surprised by the study’s findings?
