Tips and Tricks: Back to School

It's school time again! Most of you are probably feeling excited for school, or you might be feeling horrified of school and you wish summer would never end! For some of you, school has already started. Well here are some tips and tricks to help you be prepared for school!

Tip #1- Getting up early
Getting up early might be really hard to do if you have been sleeping in till 10:00 every morning of the summer. But if you practice going to bed early and waking up at 7:30 or 8:00 the week before school starts will help you get used to waking up so it won't be so hard to do on the first week of school!

Tip #2- Being organized
Sometimes it can be hard to be organized with all those papers an
d books your teachers give you. Something that helps me with that is a binder.
A binder
can hold all your papers in one spot and it is easy to carry in your backpack. You can also add some tabs in your binder with the names of each of your classes so you have a spot for all your papers.
If your school has lockers you can also put all those heavy textbooks in your locker. Then when you need it for homework you can just stop by your locker after school and pick it up!


Tip #3- Wear something that makes you feel good!
Did you try on 10 different outfits the night before school? I know I did! But I learned to just wear something makes you feel good! It's ok to wear jeans and a t-shirt on the first day of school! Just be yourself!

Tip #4- Choose a healthy lunch!
Don't you hate it when foods like pizza, cheeseburgers, chips, etc. are staring at you calling "Eat me! Eat me!" at the lunch line and you can't decide if you would rather eat the pizza or some salad and fruit from the salad bar. Well most of you would choose the pizza. I know I would... but that's not the point! The point is, is that sometimes you need to choose a healthier lunch so you can can get the energy and "brain food" that your body needs. It's ok to get the pizza and the cheeseburgers every once and a while.
I know I always hate school lunch! So what I do is get a copy of the lunch menu for the month and I bring a lunch from home on the days I don't like what they're serving for lunch! That way I don't have to worry about finding a hair in my spaghetti or having the pizza being under-cooked!

Tip #5- Doing your homework in class or homeroom!
Don't you hate homework! Well a way to not have homework is to take advantage of the time you have in class and use it to finish your work! You can also do it homeroom... I mean that's what homeroom is for, right?! And if you don't get it finished in school then do it right when you get home from school so you don't forget about it later that night!
Well that's all I have for you today!
I hope you have a great year of school!
