With everyone starting the new school year again, I thought itād be a good idea to give you some tips.
These are to doās and to don'ts.
Buy organizers. I use plastic shelves that are on my desk. I organised them by subject. They were super cheap, and boring, so I put some stickers on them.
Use highlighters for eeeverything. For history; dates are green, names are blue, places are orange, ect. For maths, facts are pink, formula are yellow, ect. It really helps study!
Use flashcards! They are super helpful. Even just writing down things helps you remember. I use them for everything. Tip: different colour highlighters add a bit of fun!
Take breaks. If you are stuck on something, donāt try to force yourself. Take a walk, watch some Youtube, clean your desk or draw a doodle. Even a 5 minute break of going to the toilet might help.
If you feel down, or just tired, make sure your basic health things are okay. Not brushing your teeth once isnāt the worst thing, but youāll feel better if you do. Eat something, get 8 hours of sleep if you can, I promise it helps.
Get a haircut before school starts. Or get your ears pierced. Or buy a new shirt. Getting something new can be refreshing, and people can give you a compliment on it!
Donāt be scared to meet new people. They are probably just as scared as you, even if it doesnāt seem like it.
Plan ahead. You donāt even have to follow your plan, but at least youāll know whatās coming.
Donāt stress about school. Youāll get that test done, youāll make friends, youāll find your place. Instead, write everything that stresses you out down, and write down solutions for them.
Make a mess, youāll lose your focus if your desk is a mess. Instead, keep everything organised, or at least off your desk.
Be fake. No one likes a fake. Instead, be honest if you donāt understand something, or donāt want to do something or whatever. Trust me, itās hard. I know. But it can help you a lot if people donāt just walk over you.
Lose sleep over school. Itās not worth it. Sleep is important and missing a few hours isnāt the worst thing that can happen, but if it becomes a trend, it can have a bad effect. Instead, plan ahead. If you still mess up, donāt worry. Only do the things that are absolutely neccesary, or do it during breaks, before school, or during free periods.
Let me know if this helped you! Iād love to hear feedback. Also, feel free to ask more personal questions about school. Iāll try to answer them as best as I can.
