back to school || i cant believe it's school time again + school tips

 

 

Ok. So first off, why did Summer have to go by so fast?? It just flew by. But overall, it was a great Summer and I hope Summer 2018 is just as good!!!

 

I start school tomorrow. *takes deep breath*  I cant believe this is my last year in school. I am a senior. I am graduating next year. In nine months. I have been doing school for eleven years (unless you count kindergarten, and then it would be twelve).
My attitude is a little different this year than it's been in other years. I really want to learn and apply myself this year and make my senior year count. I don't want to be disappointed with myself when I graduate and I've asked the Lord to help me keep this attitude throughout the school year.
I've learned a lot in eleven years, and I'd like to share some of my tips with y'all!!!

This a very big tip, even though I don't always do it. Eating breakfast helps you concentrate during the day. At least if you eat a healthy breakfast. For example, eggs, oatmeal, fruits, etc. Foods like this give you some extra energy for your day and help you stay alert.

Make sure that your notes make sense and that you're writing neatly so that you can read and study from it later. Last year I wrote my notes in one and then copied them neatly onto another for studying. This really helped me a lot (and it's a plus because you're writing the notes out twice which is kind of like studying) and I'm going to do it again this year!!

Asking questions always helps me out. Since I'm homeschooled, I go to my Dad or Mom, and normally they have the answers. But then there's always good old Google!!

Review your notes. Go over them every night or go over them before your class. Just make sure to review at least once a day.

Make sure that all of your books, notes, and anything else you use for that class are organized and ready to go.

 

Make sure that you have a steady schedule for going to sleep. Go to sleep early so when you wake up early, you wont be tired. And make sure to at least get 8 hours of sleep a night.
My schedule this year that I'm going to try to keep is having lights out at 9:30 and waking up at 7:00. This seems like a good plan if we can stick to it!! ;)

 

 

If you're are homeschooled, you may want to make a schedule for your classes. Here is a schedule paper that I got from Pinterest that I've been using every year since I started high school. It really has helped me out!!

Here is a rough draft of my schedule.

7:00 Get Up
7:30 Bible
8:00 English
8:45 Literature
9:05 Exercise
9:35 Government
10:20 Music
10:45 Financial Peace
11:45 Lunch
1:00 Internet
2:00 Writing
2:45 Homework

 

It might change a little over the year, but for now, this is what I'll be going by.

 

Do your homework first. Get your schoolwork off of your mind and then you can enjoy the rest of your evening.

 

Don't procrastinate. It's stressful. 'Nuff said. ;)

 

Make sure to think positively and always do your best. No matter what. Always try to have a good attitude and ask the Lord to help you get through every day!


So, I hope these tips have helped you out!!!
A goal for myself is to keep straight A's in my senior year. I know that will be very hard, but I'm going to at least try. Who else wants to try it with me???

when do/did you start school? what grade will you be in? do you practice any of these tips? do you have any tips that I didn't mention? are you going to make it a goal to keep straight A's?
