Hey there. So, it's been a while, but I'm back!
It's that time of the year again. September has officially begun and the preparation for the new school year is in full swing. For a lot of you, I don't doubt how much you're not looking forward to that day, the one where you start back at school. For many, the start of the school year isn't the most stressful time of year, however compared to your lovely late morning starts followed by coffee and minimal activity, it's certainly a shock to the system! Not only this, but I'm sure you know well enough that it only gets worse. The stress will be beginning soon. Deadlines are going to be set, no doubt there will be drama going on among your friends, teachers will be on your backs, and before you know it, exam season will be right around the corner again.
Well, I'm here to tell you not to worry too much. School isn't everyone's idea of fun, however it is, as with everything, what you make of it, so why not make it good? Use this time to get yourself a new attitude for the start of the year. Get yourself some clothes to wear, or, if you have a uniform, some new accessories within your school rules to keep you feeling good and refreshed. Do your hair nicely (don't go overboard, you'll look lovely without!), put on your best smile. If you feel good, you'll have a better day!
Try to keep on top of your work. If you get set a lot of work, schedule it out tactically by doing the hardest/most important/due earliest work first, and leave the rest until later. Don't leave it all until the last minute and stress yourself out, because let's face it, you don't need any more stress than is headed your way, right?
Try to keep an open mind. If things are hard, keep trying and don't be afraid to ask for help. The new school year means new material, and since you've still got your summer brain in, it'll be hard, but there's no reason to give up on all hopes of ever getting there. Try and enjoy the work, do your research, get into it. If you enjoy something, there's more of a chance you'll do the extra work required, so try your best to make the most out of everything. After all, learning is a gift, and you should treasure it. Knowledge is a good thing, despite it perhaps being a bit boring sometimes.
The most important thing, though, is to keep that lovely smile plastered right across your face. It's okay to not be looking forward to school, but if you try to look at the positives, you'll find it's a lot more welcome than if you shut them out and focus on the bad points! Your friends will be dying to see you and tell you all about their holidays, and I'm sure you'll feel the same way back! It's not all bad, and you really can make the most of it. Remember to keep a positive mind because you've been given the gift of education and you should value that, just as it values you.
Good luck, whether you're staying at your current school, moving on to another one, or starting a whole new stage of education. You can do it, and you can have fun too!
