Update!

I know I haven't been blogging that long but I am going to be taking a break until after Labour Day (September 2nd). I have had some chooses recently that I severely regret and wish I could change... However, in one case I lost my chances completely and I will always regret what happened... So I am taking the remaining portion of my summer to focus on myself and try and undo my mistakes of the last few weeks.

Thanks for reading!

Ways to Get Excited for Back to School!

So I, like most other high school goers, am not too thrilled to be headed back to school in a month. Back to hitting the books, with teachers yelling and all the drama – why does summer ever have to end?! Especially if you wear a uniform to school – no fun back to school shopping!

For the last few years I’ve found it extremely hard to get excited about going back to school – but last year and this year again, I’ve found the key!

So here are 4 ways to get excited for back to school!

1. Buy Yourself a Present!

            I figured out this trick last year! When you buy something for back to school that you like (for me its fancy pens and pencils) tell yourself you aren’t allowed to use them until the first day of class. This gives you something to look forward to and allows yourself to overlook some of the bad that’ll be coming…

2. Plan Lunches!

            Now, if you’re a mini foodie like myself plan lunches and snacks that are funny and healthy for the first semester or term back! Although this is something for only a part of your day its nice to have something small to look forward to during a long day of learning.

3. New Apps!

            If you have an iPad or iPhone I know there are tons of apps out there that are designed for school! These apps can really get you looking forward to adding information so you can start formulating your calendar and schedule! You’ll want assignments and tests! (Inside note my favorite is Corkulous!)

4. Set Goals!

            Although this is something your school probably has you do anyways (mine has since grade 6) I think personal, academic and physical goals are essential to having a successful year at school! Make sure to check back next week for all my goals for the year!

Now I’m not saying I hate learning (because I don’t) so whenever you go back I hope you all have a happy and successful year of classes!

Peace, Love & Tea,

Laura
