Things to do before the beginning of the school year˖࿐
2 weeks before school starts
deep clean and organize your room. and I mean everything. from your closet, to your school cabinet organize everything.
shop for back to school clothes
1 week before
finish school supplies shopping
plan your daily schedules
do your laundry
pick your ‘first day of school’ outfit
the night before
pack your lunch
set out outfit
pack bag
set an alarm
take a shower
the morning before/the first day
eat a good breakfast (breakfast is the most important meal of the day)
take first day pics
don’t forget to do your little first day tik tok transitions
try to memorize your schedule
study tips ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆。˚
I have gathered some study tips that actually help:
before you even start, make a list in the order of things you’re to do/topics you’re going to study. then you will be organized and won’t be stressed on what to study first
learn things your way. I know there is like millions of study methods that claim to work, but you do you
actually try to understand things and don’t just memorize them. keep information in your long term memory by actually understanding them
reward yourself. let your brain correlate rewards with studying, that’ll motivate you to study even more. these rewards can be of different values depending on the difficulty of the task
study 30-40 minutes and then take a 5-15 minute break. it’s scientifically proven that the human brain gets tired when overworked for over 40 minutes. but if you feel like you can’t reach the 30-40 minute mark, stop and take a break but after that get back on your feet and work harder
put your phone away. don’t just put it in arms reach. put it in another room so you it won’t distract you
school tips ⋆. 𐙚 ˚
deep clean. every sunday clean your school bag and at the end of every month deep clean everything
sunday is the day you get ready for monday
write important dates somewhere. this is where the planner comes in handy
do your homework/assignments the day they’re given
when homework is assigned write down the date that’s assigned and the due date
pay attention in class and ask questions
get a calendar. it will help you keep track of everything. you can also put sticky notes on the important dates
join clubs. I’m not kidding when I say half the friends I’ve made the last school year I meet in clubs.
personalize your notebooks/binders with stickers
routines જ⁀➴
school day morning routine
wake up early. you’ll have plenty of time to get ready. set up a song you like as an alarm. also set two alarms (one five minutes after the other) incase you don’t wake up the first time
make your bed. then you won’t want to crawl back into it
go to the bathroom. brush your teeth, do your skincare, take a shower if you need to etc.
make yourself a little drink. make yourself coffee, tea, matcha etc.
start getting ready. get dressed and don’t forget to accessorize, do your make up and do your hair
breakfast! the most important meal of the day, it should be simple but filling.
pack your waterbottle and lunch. you should pack your bag the night before but your water and lunch in the morning
and out the door you go
school evening routine
wash your hands. first thing when you get home wash your hands because you’ve touched things, throughout the day, that very probably aren’t clean
hydrate. drink water
unpack. unpack your pencil case and the homework you were assigned that day and set them aside.
change. change from your outside clothes to inside clothes. something more comfortable
snack and drink. make a snack and a drink for studying
studying and homework. get your snack and drink, your pencil case and homework then I recommend studying for an hour. you can work 25 minutes, take a 10 minute break, study again 25 minutes. it’s all about balance
relax. after that take 1-2 hours to relax. read, watch a tv show, text your friends etc.
gather your supplies. pack your bag before dinner time. refill your waterbottle and put it in the fridge
dinner time!
extra homework. if you didn’t finish your homework before take the time to do it now
no phone. stop scrolling on social media about 2-3 hours before going to bed. take this time to do things you like
sleep tight!
character inspo ༄˖°:・
in this little section, I’m writing about characters you can take inspiration to be like, for the school year. this contains: Elena Gilbert, Bella Swan, Spencer Hastings, Hermione Granger and Rory Gilmore.
Elena Gilbert: the vampire’s girlfriend
dress more like a 2010s’ vibe. Henley tops, tank tops with lace, flared jeans, your vampire boyfriend’s jacket, converse, boots, a lot of accessories etc.
get a diary. Elena narrates her life through her diary and writes her days there
bag. Elena wears a one shoulder minimalist brown bag to school
be confident. Elena is like always confident and doing what she wants, not letting anyone stop her
wear minimal make up. we can see that Elena doesn’t go to school with a full face of makeup. so just a little concealer to hide your dark circles that were formed for staying up all night with your vampire boyfriend, a little lipgloss or lipbalm and mascara
hair. wear it straight and down. Elena puts her hair in a ponytail to get it out of her face and curls it for events
your place. have like a coffee shop or a grill (like the mystic grill) where you go with your friends to meet up. become a regular there
always happy. Elena always finds the good in everything, so do the same
Bella Swan: the vampire’s lover
read!! Bella is always reading. it’s like a form of escapism for her
music. she always has her headphones with her
minimal make up. Bella is like the mysterious girl that doesn’t wear makeup and is different
be different. instead of always wanting to stay with thr popular group she’d rather read a book. so do things you want not what others want
dress more like a 2010s’ vibe. same as Elena’s style but make it a little bit darker. dark colored henley tops, flared jeans, your vampire boyfriend’s jackets, converse.
hair. Bella’s hair is sometimes middle parted, sometimes side parted and sometimes she just wears a headband
personality and habits. Bella is curios but clumsy, she is an introvert with a habit of biting her bottom lip
everyday actions. do well in school and be helpful around the house (Bella is always helping her dad around the house with chores)
Spencer Hastings: the academic weapon
dress classy and old money style. Spencer is wealthy so she dresses the part. with her plaid skirts, sweaters, jewelry and her hairstyles she manages to wow Rosewood
study study study. Spencer is so intelligent because she loves to read and to actually understand school material.
sports and clubs. between studying and fighting for her life because of A, Spencer overworks herself with field hockey and debate club
hair. Spencer straightens her hair with a curling iron and curls it at the bottom. she also just straightens her hair fully sometimes. she puts it in a ponytail when she is working on an elaborate plan to catch A
be smart and act smart. Spencer always has a witty response to everything.
Hermione Granger: the brightest witch of her age
hair. Hermione’s hair is wild and free, she doesn’t straighten it but puts braids on it
smartness. we understand that her character is all about wit. she knows her stuff because she actually learns and understands it
clothes. sweaters, jeans, a good pair of sneakers, t-shirts and nice dresses for events is what Hermione’s wardrobe consists of
don’t let people put you down
advocate for justice! Hermione makes an organization for the lives of elfs. you can join different organizations to help people
be mature. act your age and not like a child
respect rules…but don’t be afraid to bend them
do what is right not what makes you popular
Rory Glimore: Star Hollow’s favorite girl
(this about season 1-2 Rory)
hair. Rory sometimes curls her hair but most of the time it’s straight. and she styles it with all kinds braids
clothes. since Rory and Lorelai share a closet their styles get mixed. Rory mostly wears earthy tones, sweaters, long sleeves, flared jeans are a must and she accessorizes.
take a book with you everywhere
have goals. like actual achievable goals
make lists. wether they’re pro and con list or a list of stuff she needs to finish, Rory always writes down her thoughts
personality. she is genuine and kind, but doesn’t let herself become a doormat. she doesn’t care about popularity or drama
school life. finish your homework on Fridays, pay attention, understand things rather than memorizing it etc.
cherish relationships. go to your grandparents once a week, gossip with your mom, go out with your friends etc.
paint your toenails red
have movie nights
go to events. every time your town might have an event, goo!!
