The First Day of School/Getting Ready for the First Day 

1. Make your bed, it makes you feel better about life
2. Give yourself a mirror pep talk
3. Eat a big breakfast
4. Wash your face and brush your teeth as soon as you get up so you feel more awake
5. Wash your face with cold water to wake yourself up
6. Get to school early and meet your friends if you can, this makes it so you can talk about the upcoming year
7. Listen to your favorite songs all morning, especially if they are upbeat and happy! Some of my favorite songs to jam to in the mornings are; Personal (HRVY), Classic (MKTO), CAKE (Wengie), I Love U (Loving Caliber), Be Free With Me (Siine, Frank Moody), I'm in love with a monster (Fifth Harmony), How to be a heartbreaker (Marina and the Dimonds), Black Magic (little mix) and my personal favorite, Be With You (Mondays). These are just a few of my favorite songs to listen to in case you want to check them out. Songs like this can put you in a good mood, if you guys want me to do a back to school playlist, let me know!
8. If you shower in the morning, take a face soap in the shower so it saves you time
9. Use a lip tint, it lasts all day
10. Remember setting spray, it fixes your makeup

When you get home from school/After school

1. Change into super comfy clothes/pajamas as soon as you get home
2. Get a snack when you get home
3. Tidy up your room
4. Have a dance party, it helps you get loose
5. Take off your makeup as soon as you get home
6. Listen to a podcast or read for at least one half of an hour a day, this can help reduce stress
7. Don't watch anything right before bed, it makes it harder for you to sleep
8. Check your planner every night before you go to sleep
9. If you have to remember something, text yourself but then get out of the text before it delivers so it looks like you have an unread text. Lets be real, everyone checks their text messages in the morning.
10. DON'T DRINK COFFEE AFTER FOUR PM!

While Studying/Doing Homework

1. Read everything you need to remember out loud
2. Study right before bed so its the last thing you think about before you go to sleep
3. Don't study on your bed
4. Use flashcards when studying for a test
5. Switch up your study space every time so you remember things
6. Study in 30 minute blocks with five to ten minute breaks in between
7. Take a short walk during a study break
8. Put everything you need for school right back in your backpack after your done using it for studying
9. Make sure you have everything you could need including food, hairties, water, and things like that before you study so you don't have to keep getting up to get stuff
10. Make up a song for something you are trying to remember

While in school/During the school day

1. During breaks in between classes, make sure to go to the bathroom
2. Sit in front of the class, it forces you to pay attention
3. Put your phone on airplane mode and darken the screen to save battery power through out the day
4. Eat lunch outside if you can, its a good bit of fresh air after being stuck in a classroom all morning
5. Talk to school councelers and teachers (become thier friends and let them know you are interested in learning)
6. Answer the questions you can in class, then the teacher is less likely to call on you for something that nobody raises their hand for
7. Write everything down in your planner the moment you get an assignment
8. Make sure your desk space is always organized
9. If you get hot through out the day, put your hair up so its not on your neck.
10. Be nice to people in general. Compliment people, its a great way to make new friends!
