reblog this if you believe in friend soulmates :)

[wanderingthoughts1]

i 100% believe in friend soulmates and here’s why. i met (one of) my friend soulmates when i was really young at a summer camp and we saw each other only once week every year. we never spoke in between that one week and yet every time we saw each other after a year had passed it was like no time had passed. today we’re best friends and love each other so deeply and know each other in such an amazing way. we were clearly made to be best friends and i believe that everyone has several friends like that on this earth so don’t give up on finding yours ❤️

it genuinely confuses me how a person could hate on another person for something they can’t control or choose.

[wanderingthoughts1]

does anyone else have the issue where all your personality traits are ones you got from other friends so you feel like none of your personality traits and common sayings are really yours???

because yeah same.

[wanderingthoughts1]

sometimes it almost scares me how quickly a heart can love. even if you don’t realize it. when you just click with a person so well whether it’s platonic or not and your heart just goes “yes them i love them” because even though you may not know a lot about them you get to know their personality traits quickly and it’s beautiful.

Friendly reminder that you and your thoughts and feelings are VALID. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise ❤️

My parents: you can talk to us about anything with no judgment☺️

My parents when I say anything they don’t agree with or don’t want to believe: no you’re just a kid who’s being influenced by whatever social media you have, you don’t understand what’s really going on here.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are smart and capable of passing all your big tests and classes this semester. ❤️

May 2020 be the year that you actually keep at least one of the resolutions you make :)

[wanderingthoughts1]

Ok but like I’m the oldest sister in my house and I literally have to get ready with at least 30 minutes to help my siblings because they always come to me like “HELP WHAT DO I WEAR” and “CAN YOU PLEASE DO MY HAIR IT ISNT COOPERATING” and “DOES THIS LOOK OK” and “WAIT I STILL DONT KNOW WHAT TO WEAR” like idk what they’d do without me at this point.

Inspiration to Be Kind💗

Here’s some things to inspire you to be kind to others this school year. All of these were learned from personal experiences of being the “new kid” ❤️

•People who are new at a school always remember the first person to speak to them. (This is true I went to a new school last year and I distinctly remember the first person who spoke to me and what they said, it meant a lot) So yeah don’t be scared to talk to new people. 😊

•When you compliment people, they’re likely to think about it often on that day and make them happy. (I know this happened to me and a lot of my friends last year) If you admire something about someone just tell themmmm it’ll probably mean a lot! Also side note, me and my best friend became friends because she complimented my jeans. You never know what’ll come out of a compliment!💗

•Smiles go a long way. (As a previous new kid, I can say that smiles made me so much less nervous and more calm idk it was just nice) Never underestimate little things like smiles. They go a long way. 😄

Guys please don’t be afraid to reach out to new people/freshman this year at school. Speaking from experience, we’re nervous and sometimes (probably) lost and feel kinda lonely. Being kind in general helps out a lot. ❤️

(Side note - these apply outside of school as well. :))

How To Get On a Teachers Good Side

Written by a “Teachers Pet”.

Alright so this past year I learned the secrets to being the teacher’s fav so I thought I’d share for those who aspire for their teachers to like them. 😂 I’ve got 3 main points.

•SMILE. Kids these days never smile in class. I’m a super smiley person. It comes naturally. But all the teachers who loved me, commented on how it made them happy to see someone in their class smile for once.

•Try. That’s it. Just try. You’ll stand out since a lot of people don’t even try in teachers classes. A lot of students think you have to be a straight A student for the teacher to like you but that’s not true. Just do your best and they’ll appreciate it.

•Be Kind. A lotttt of teachers get hated on. So actually treating them like a person and asking how they are and things like that make a difference in their lives. They notice.

It’s that simple guys. Enjoy being the teacher’s favorite this school year. ✌🏻

Back to School Advice

So, school is starting soon so I thought I’d give some tips for anyone going back to school! Particularly high school, but most of these can probably be applied for middle school or whatever too. :)

1. DO! YOUR! WORK!!!!!! ✏️

I literally can’t stress this enough. I know it’s hard, trust me I do. But even if you’re awful at the subject give it your best shot, and turn it in. Especially big projects. It’s never too late to start working hard in school and it PAYS OFF.

2. Pay Attentionnnn 👀

Paying attention to the teacher in class is keyyyy. If you want to succeed, give the class your best shot and listen to what the teacher is saying.

3. Ask Questions! ✋🏻

Even if you just have a simple question, don’t be afraid to ask! Most teachers (at least good ones) don’t mind your questions and actually welcome them! Plus the odds of your classmates having the same or similar question is very high. So just go for it and ask the question. Trust me.

4. Get Help if You Need it! 😊

There is absolutely NO SHAME in asking for help. If a subject just isn’t your thing and your teacher’s method of teaching isn’t working, get help. Ask a classmate for help or get a tutor if your school offers it! Your grades will thank you.

5. BE. YOURSELF. ❤️

There’s so much pressure in schools to be someone else. But let me tell you, you’re perfectly fine the way you are. And if you’re genuinely yourself, you’ll attract other people who like you for who you are. Last year I was worried about mean people making fun of me. But think of it this way, if people that you don’t like approve of something you’re doing, you’re probably doing something wrong. So just be confidently you.

How To Have a Fun Summer

Hello all! :)

So I’ve been having an amazing summer so I thought I’d give you all some tips on how to have some fun just around your house/community.

1. Go Out for Ice Cream!🍦 This is a summer must. Text your bestie and go grab some ice cream! It’s so much fun in the summer.

2. Read Good Books! 📚 Now, I know lots of people don’t enjoy reading, but I am a firm believer that you just need to find the right book. Here’s some of my suggestions. The Chaos Walking series (Si-Fi), Keeper of the Lost Cities series (fantasy), Caraval (Si-Fi/Fantasy).

3. Serve Somewhere! 🤗 I HIGHLY recommend this to everyone. Find a day camp or an organization that sparks your interest you can volunteer at this summer. I volunteer to work with kids every year and it’s the highlight of my summer.

4. Learn to Do Something New! 🙃 Learning something new really gives you something to do in the summer. Not only does it take up some of the time you sit bored, but it makes you feel more accomplished. Some suggestions I have are playing a new instrument (I personally love piano and ukulele), learn to make friendship bracelets, or trying out calligraphy.

5. Go Outside! 🌲 It’s always great to get outside on a nice summer day. Even if you don’t have an “exciting backyard” you can always find something. Some things i personally do is eat my meals outside, read outside, or even relax in a hammock and take a nap. Whatever it is, make it you. Fresh air is amazing. :)

I hope you found at least one thing you’d like to do this summer on this post! Summer is such a fun time, make sure you enjoy it! ❤️
