FROM GIRLS, TO GIRLS

Back to School; tips from girls, to girls.

Before we know it, school is letting back in.  It’s time to get up early and prepare for a full seven and a half hours of learning.  It’s about four days before school starts, so what can we do?  Make sure you go to sleep early for the next few nights.  If you are a night owl like me, then it is good to start winding down at 10 or so.  Waking up at eight is a good idea Monday because it will prepare you enough to wake up even earlier at 6 or 6:30 Tuesday (trial run) and Wednesday (day one!).

I remember last year that every morning was frantic!  This year I am going to lie out my clothes for every morning.  So when I wake up clothes will be ready on my dresser.  Also, I will make sure to not hit my snooze button too many times.  As a girl, we all need some extra things to boost us through the day, and this topic brings me to the locker.  In our locker we keep books and folders.  This year I am going to include these following items to help me through my day and give me a boost of confidence.

1. An extra pair of shorts, in case a wardrobe malfunction comes along.
2. A pencil holder, knowing from experience when you can’t find something to write with it is stressful!  By keeping your utensils in a holder, it will help you stay organized.
3. A little garbage can.  I remember last year when me and my friends would go to bell to bell we would throw stray papers in our locker.
4. Gym Clothes, Last year some people in my class would forget them at home and what they were wearing wasn’t suitable.  By keeping clothes neatly folded and clean in your locker you will be ready.
5. Last but not least a mirror.  With a mirror on hand and some perfume in your locker you’ll be nice and fresh.

By following these tips, you’ll be ready for any blunder in school, so pack up and get ready for a great year! (:
