The Day After the Weekend

Don't we all love sleeping in, not thinking about what is going to happen? The truth is that you can't sleep in no matter what. Now I have actually done it a couple times, and believe me, if you miss the bus or you take too much time, your teachers are not going to be very happy. I know, I know I'm going to announce the tip. You readers should have caught on by now. So this is going to be tip #6:

Don't take too much time in the bathroom and budget your time! The bathroom tip is for girls, because we usually take longer in the bathroom than boys. My motto when using make up is, " a little goes a long way." If you are my age you should wear minimal make up. We have fresher faces, so don't be getting any anti- wrinkle cream anytime soon. To give proof I'll even tell you what I wear on my face which is: A tiny bit of concealer, a little bit of bronzer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, not very much; a touch of mascara. To tell the truth it may seem a little long, although I wear small amounts. So there is no need to spend 20 minutes in the bathroom!

As for the budgeting of time I know that it is best if you have an automatic schedule so there are no iffy days. This has worked for me as long I have been in school, so if you have no schedule, right one down, your teachers and parents will thank you for it, this also makes a happier you. So please, all readers, make a before and after school schedule!

The Weekend

Now this is for all those procrastinators like me, I know how boring homework is, but to tell the truth, do you really want to be staying up till eleven on Algebra 1 homework? And what if you forget an assignment? This has all happened to me before so this is tip #5:

Get homework done before the weekend! Personally I think it's best if you do for these five reasons:

1. You get a good night sleep

2. No yelling from your parents or whoever is your guardian

3. No work to do at last minute

4. When you go someplace fun over the weekend, you enjoy it

5. Teachers are glad they don't get sloppy work

So moral of the story is do your homework first no matter how much you'd rather be doing something else.

P.S. This is also the key to good grades

Those Darn Old Boring Days

Have you ever heard the term, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade?" Today I had about a bucketful of lemons. So much I think my lemonade is sour! So here's the good news so you don't make the same mistakes I did.

You know on Fridays there's all the football games, leisure time and nothing in the margin of a few hours nothing matters? I know that feeling. I would not call it joy though. And then they're the Fridays that just can't seem to go any slower. I am proud to say that help is here so you can avoid all the just plain boring stuff or at least help you. So here's tip # 4:

Just act like it is a game! It cannot make it any simpler. Teachers hate it when you disrespect them. The better you are in class, the more points you earn, disrupt and you loose them. This is like in Harry Potter. I am so sorry for the lecture, my Dad does it to me all the time, I guessed it rubbed off on me.

Getting Used to It

High school comes with many challenges. One of them is finding your classroom and locker all in short amount of time. Today it took me the whole five minuets just to find may classroom! As I was walking along the "freeway" of the school, I was intimidated by all the upperclassmen. I am only five one, so to me they were giants! This is why I came up with tip # 3:

Know your school and don't run into people at all costs. The reason why you should know your school is, every freaking school is different. Yes, I know how much they look like dismal boxes of doomsday, the thing is, it saves time in the hallways. The more you know your schedule, the happier you'll be. Little hint: maybe you can do some extra socializing, just don't be late for the bell!

Now about the topic of running into people, I recommend doing a speed walk if you can, watch where you go and be sure to always know what you're doing. I mean, who wants to go to the wrong period and get a detention? So just be sure to drive safely on the "freeway." ( Mom must be rubbing off me!) So there it is.

The First Day

Well, it is late and I am getting tired, so I will keep this short and simple. In school I learned that high school is more than just grades, it is also about making friends. This brings me to tip #2:

Always try to make new friends in the first day of school. Now I'm not saying if you're a prep go and be punk, I'm only saying you should be friends with people other than your little circle, it really helped me.

My mom is telling me to get to bed so I better leave. No matter what.

The Day Before

So I might be the weird teenager but who cares. So why am I here, to give tips on how to survive high school. There may be prom, guys and boring classes along with mystery meat lunches. Okay, here's tip #1

Pack on the first day of school, avoids waiting in line and usually helps with not being the last one to eat, trust me, I've gone through this. And be sure the lunch has at least one item with whole wheat and protein. This will help you survive the long classes. Don't like whole wheat? Opt for Sara Lee whole grain bread. Not only does it look like white bread, it tastes like it. An easy way to include both whole wheat and protein is have PB&J or with added lunch meats to a sandwich. Just be sure to go light on mayo and mustard, it takes away all nutrition if you do it.
