Dear Friends,
How ya doing? Guys I am running out of time. I have two more days of freedom *sobs and shoves pancakes in mouth* Summer is almost over and we will miss it dearly but when you love something you have to let it go.
Anyways, today I have a letter that will actually be useful to you (including the dudes, what up) so let's get this show on the road.
Sparknotes & Quizlet
There is nothing wrong with using the internet to help you with your school work. It's not cheating and the internet is there for your disposal! These websites helped me out so much especially Quizlet. It gave me the exact answer to all of my questions in Global History just remember to paraphrase. If not, then you're cheating.
Practice Writing
Let's be honest, we haven't picked up a single utensil at all this summer. I speak from experience when I say that you will look like you just learned how to write on the first day of school. If you practice writing maybe a day or two before your first day back your won't have this problem.
Take a book with you
If you are the newbie you will be extremely bored and uncomfortable in lunch. I suggest taking a book or a magazine with you to keep you occupied. If you can take like your iPad or Kindle with you go ahead! ( Just be careful)
Pack Lunch
If you are like me and know that you won't be eating school food on the first day, pack lunch. There is nothing worst then being in class and being hungry because then you won't be able to focus at all!
If you can be the first person to class, Do It!
Everybody hates showing up to class late and everyone and there mamas just turn to stare at you as you awkwardly scan the room for a seat. But when you're the first person there you don't have to worry about it. Don't worry about looking like a nerd or teacher's pet, just do it!
Make friends with your guidance counselor!
Your guidance counselor is there to help you. They are the people that will watch out for you and make sure that you are comfortable. Make them your best friend, they are amazing!
Smile! :)
When you smile you won't look so shy and approachable. It will make it a lot easier for people to come up to you and make friends :)
Wake up to uplifting music with bass
That means no Ed Sheeran in the morning (tear drops ) . This way you will get up and want to dance and you will feel more awake instantly.
Plan your outfit the night before
You don't have to do this everyday but let's be real, on the first day of school you care running around like a chicken without a head. Finding the perfect back to school outfit is stressful and you have more than enough time to do it the night before rather than morning of when you have very little time.
Have a Treat Yo Self Day the day before
A Treat Yo Self Day is a day where you well, it pretty self explanatory. TREAT YO SELF! Go shopping for last minute things(dem sales though), watch some movies, do whatever you want. You will feel awesome and be pumped on your first day of school.
That is all for today, I hope you enjoyed. Let me know some of your back to school life hacks.
Have a magical day.
Spread the Good Vibes.
Sincerely, Atira
