5 Things To Do Over The Summer

By


Hey guys! It is officially the first day of summer, and I'm going to share with you 5 things that I think are important to do over the summer.


1. Chill with Friends
When you get a chance, try to make time to hang out with friends. Even just a few times over the summer can be a great chance to catch up and talk about the school year, specially with friends that go to schools that are far away from you. You will find that nothing has really changed, and you are all still the best of friends.

 2. Spend time with family
Parents aren't always the best, but they do want what is best for us, so it is important to also dedicate some time for them and go places together as a family. You do not have to go to a fancy vacation, as long as you have lunch with your mom or just accompany your dad when he runs some errands, that is good enough.

 3. Get a job/Internship
I know it is not easy to get a job, but if you can, try to find something to do over the summer. Preferably something that can get you some money so you can save for school, or just so you can spend it on yourself or help your family. There is a lot of websites dedicated to helping youth in your city so check those out and apply for those positions. I know interviews can be scary, but just come prepared and you will be just fine. You got this! If you can't get a job, or you just want to chill over the summer, try to find a volunteer opportunity to keep yourself productive!

 4. Treat Yourself!
If you got a job over the summer, great for you! You can spend some money on yourself, and buy some new clothes for the summer. It is always important to spend time on yourself too. You can paint your nails or just plain catch some zzzzzzz's, that's all good! But make sure to pay attention to your health. Go for a hike, or just a walk around the block. That always helps me to de-stress. Also, make sure to drink a lot of water. Water has amazing benefits for your face and body. So drink up!

 5. Get ready for school
I know nobody wants to think about school over the summer, but during August you should be preparing for school and start getting excited about it. If you need a new backpack, go get one. If you need to get a uniform or just need more clothes, you should do that at least a few days before school. Also, get your materials ready. You don't have to buy everything till you get your syllabus, but just go get the essentials.

7 Things You Can Do in High School in Order to be Prepared for College

By
So now that I am a soon-to-be Junior in college, I think it's safe to say that I have a few tricks and tips off my sleeve on how to do well in High School. Here is a few you need to know: 1. Get a planner - I know, I know. I have talked about this before, but I swear by it. It helps keep track of future assignments and test, that way I can plan my week ahead of time. Some of you, might have great memory but getting a planner is still a helpful way to keep organized, specially in college when you think you have all this extra time. 2. Don't cram for test- Now I'm not saying to start studying a week in advanced but maybe just start studying a little like two days before the test. Exams are worth a lot in college, so it is important that you do your very best on them. 3. Study in short increments- I am sure you overachievers might have heard about The Pomodoro Method. Essentially it is a way of studying in which you study for say 45 mins and then you take a break fo...

What To Do Over Winter Break

By
Hey guys! I'm back! So first semester of school is finally over and now it is time for us college students to get some hard earned rest, unless you work in which case I totally feel you. Although, we all deserve to rest up a bit and catch some zzzzzzzz's. I definitely think Winter Break can be a great time to be productive. Here's some things you can do over Winter Break! Take a Winter Class- Whether you are actually behind in classes or you want to graduate a little early, I think it would be smart to take a Winter class. Especially if you take an Online class, that way you don't have to drive to your campus. In addition, taking an online class makes the transition smoother when you have to return back to school. Take advantage of scholarships your school might offer, since we all know winter classes are super expensive! Get a Job- I know work sucks but even getting a seasonal job where you only work during the break can be very helpful when you...
