Title: Maple13's Tips on trying to get a succesful school year
Post by: Maplen13 on September 19, 2009, 10:30:47 am
1) Try to get a planner
  - Why? Well I got this from my middle school, which gave us planner's to organize our life and school, and which to show that we do homework. But this little thing, that if you think is nerdy or dorky, or even both, can save time and effort in the long run, if you are committed enough with your planner. Recently I got a new planner, and man oh, man, I have now organized some study time, go to places, without worrying the time or being late, and remembering stuff that I would forget. But if your school also gives some planners, just at least try it on. What would you loose?

2) Try to wake up earlier
 - Yea.. most people can't enough wake earlier, but... if succeeded does make things easier, such as giving you time to think, eat, do your homework if your forgot for the third time this week, and most importantly think, to rejuvenate your body, to think what you would do, really your peace time, like meditation, to make you not worry as much when you go to school.

3) Try to be friends with almost everyone
 - Including the teachers, but the key words try and almost.... the thing is.. when you make more firends, people will protect you from others, be helpful to you, comfort you like humor, and if you are real lucky to have almost all your teachers as "friends" you could actually have your school year easier.

4) Expect the expected, the unexpected, and plain nonsense 
 - Anything can and defiantly will happen, to accidents to pop quizzes, to you missing your school bus, or essentially anything happening, so try to be alert, while enjoying your fun, kind of hard, but when achieved real calmness will happen, when something bad happens.

5) Just say "Do it"
 - Do you get those lazy moments, where you just can't do your notes, walk to your class, hear your lecture, reading your book, or... most importantly your homework? Well just try to say "Do it" and try as hard as you must to do that simple piece of paper, or that extra mile, since if you don't do it, epic consequences will wish you haven't

6) Reality is Reality
 - You thought your day couldn't be worse, and that "Something can Always be worse" Isn't a good motivation, so think to yourself reality is reality, nothing can change it, and that you can try again some other time, with a better motivation, but also think about the tiny good things that happened, to the fact, that you are living in a family that maybe loves you, or that you live in a home.

7) Practice makes Perfect, but Nobody is Perfect
 - Yes we are human, we can't do almost everything like Clark Kent, or be James Bond. And that we can't be like him/her as a celebrity. But the most important thing is... don't let that thing say that you are an epic looser, you are human, you are something, you can changed the world, or be a normal family person.

Good advice... I always expect the plain Nonsense. Why? I am the source in my school. After all, who goes around calling people 'flying cheeseburnger marshmallows of insanity'?

Besides, when you go to a new school, and you didn;t get a good impression with people at yiour old one... it's a new start, basically. You can start over with new people. Don't let the new people get a bad impression of you- have them get a good impression. Like, I went from the boring nerdy guy to the awesome funny but smart guy.

Excellent advice, Maple.
I will add one thing. If you have a teacher you think does not like you, get an A.. it will drive them crazy!

Good advice Maple. I only suceed in maybe 4 or 5 of your suggestions though.

OH, and just one thing for students who don't like school-

Remember this-unless you're plannig to be a pro athlete (and even there you chances are slim) odds are when you grow up, you're going to need an eduction for your job. You can't just ask for money, you have to work for it. School is Your only way to really get an education. Don't take what you're learning for granted, don't resent it, you need an education.
