The dreaded time has come. Time to go back to school. The only thing is it takes a while to adjust to all the things that come with school. Waking up early is one of the biggest things teens have to get used to. And for me, it's tied for first most annoying along with homework. For one thing, they are both not avoidable, but you can make these things less annoying with a few tips.
1. Before you go to bed in the night, lay out or at least plan what you are going to wear and pack your bags so that you can have a few extra minutes in the morning.
2. Eat breakfast. Even if you are pressed for time in the mornings, you still should eat something. Studies show that teens are much more attentive when they've had something to eat in the morning.
3. Don't fuss too much with your hair and makeup. There isn't enough time in the morning for you to make yourself look perfect. Keep it simple and clean and maybe you'll be able to squeeze in a couple more shut-eye minutes.
4. Get to bed earlier. This one is kind of obvious. Going to bed earlier equals more rest for you. And it will be so much easier to wake up in the morning if you are well-rested.
5. When doing homework, start with the things that are due the next day, and then the things that are due later.
6. Take study breaks. It's hard to concentrate when you're bored so be sure to take breaks now and then,
7. Drink lots of water. This will keep you refreshed AND help your complexion.
Hopefully you'll survive until summer by following some of these tips!
