Surviving School

School can be hard, admit you've thought it before wither once or twice or 1 billion times. Each day you come in and it's the same thing, first period, second period and so fourth. Nothing is new. To top it off, we also have the stress about worrying about grades. Is it fair? No. Is it torture? Yeah. But really, where else would you be without school? Life would actually be boring if you had to hang around the house all day while your parents were at work.

Staying Positive

One tactic I used last year was to think about how many classes I've already been to versus how many more I have left. I also used the lunch period as a time marker to know I've gone through more than half the day. One of the best things to do as well is to surround yourself with other positive people, it makes school that much more enjoyable.

Study!!

I can't stress this enough, if you don't study you don't get good grades. Do you also have those friends that complain about how much better their grades could be and then they go home and get on Instagram? I don't understand how they don't understand. Study, it makes school easier and therefore more enjoyable.

If you're the person that does study and still doesn't always get the best of grades then you've come to the right place. There are so many ways to learn and it really helps if your study method suits you. Here is a link that I found that might help. https://www.goconqr.com/en/examtime/blog/study-hacks/

Sports

If you are an active person, but you don't play school sports, here are some reasons you should.

1. You make a lot of friends and build strong connections with your teammates.

2. You learn commitment, trust, and confidence.

3. Sometimes you get to miss school.

Friends

Friends, they're the best. They are the part of school that you actually look forward to. They make you feel like you're on cloud nine all the time. At least mine do and I wish the same for you my dear readers. Just be careful though, sometimes people may seem like friends, but really aren't, but that's for the next topic. Finding the perfect "bestie" is one of the hardest quest in the entire world! Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but it is really difficult. Be sure that once you find the perfect one not to let anything come between you, not even a stupid boy that you'll forget about five years from now.

Mean Girls (aka Regina Georges all across the world)

Let's face it, they're everywhere. Mean girls are the worst. They make it hard to go school and go to places with your friends because you know she'll be there; and it's not always a girl, it can be a boy. Bullies come in all shapes and forms which is why we need to put an end to it. You can help by stopping a kid from picking on another kid or really anything. Even the smallest things help. Realize bulling and stop it. https://www.stopbullying.gov/

That's all for now.
