Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been blogging. School has just been putting my anxiety levels up and I need to relax my mind every now and then. But I want to use blogger to just free my mind, write what I want write and just be myself and so far, I haven't been myself. This post is kinda serious ish but I thought I should let you guys know this so you know part of the reason why I have been so anxious.
Before I start, let me give you a small background story. I have grown up with my best friend. You guys may know her already as 'Bestie'. I grew up with her all my life and there were many other people (most of them I still go to school with), and there were two sisters who were always known as bullies as in proper bullies. The worst type of bullies you can find. People were actually (and some still are) scared of them. Bestie and the sisters were best friends and Bestie if I'm honest, doesn't know better. I love Bestie with all my heart but I'm going to be honest here, she is very fickle and really doesn't know better. And let me just say that Bestie and I were best friends way before the Sisters even came in the picture. So we all grew up, I've always been best friends with Bestie and Bestie has been Best friends with the Sisters. About a few years ago, there was this girl. She was incredibly bullied by the Sisters. She cried herself to sleep every night and yet the Twins felt that they were the victims because they got in trouble for bullying her. This bullying lasted for about 3 years. 3 years later, matters got incredibly worse and now this Girl who cried her self to sleep every night started to become a bully as well and it was a terrible year. This was all at school and her mum became a teacher of the school we all went to. I felt anxious around this Girl (even though I was friendly with the girl a year before because I got bullied by the twins for wearing a bra!) and her mum because I felt like I was being watched. Anyone with anxiety knows that if they feel that people are watching them, you can never get comfortable and it just feels the worst. This Girl (Thats her name now) became a bully as well and I started to become friendly with the Sisters. Bestie, Sisters and I named our selves 'The Four Best Friends'. The four of us were best friends for about a year. Of course, everything went downhill. Last Year, The Sisters were absolutely incredibly rude and mean to Bestie and I was always there for Bestie. They ditched her at the mall one time (So did I but it was for a very serious reason and it was very important and Bestie knows I didn't ditch her, she knew I had to leave anyway), told her she wasn't good enough, told her she only got 'Best Sports Team Player' on her football team (soccer team) because the Sisters's dad was the coach and it wouldn't have been fair and that one of the Sisters actually deserved it and many more rude and off putting things. Bestie then changed to become more of her self because she was always ruled by the Sisters and so I agreed with Bestie that she should be her own person and I started to hate the Sisters as well. Summer then past, I started this blog and this brings us to today. Let me tell you why I have been anxious.
Bestie and I were together 24/7. We were almost like we were joint by the hip and we were the happiest we have ever been. Bestie and I told each other everything, no matter what it was. We would always text and we would always answer straight away. Bestie even took me away with her family for a vacation we were that close. This has obviously gone downhill. Last week, I got a text from one of my other super close friend (I'm going to name her 'Dear Friend') and she told me that the Sisters wanted to get revenge on me for being a 'Best Friend Steeler' for being best friends with Bestie, even after all they did to her. Also that the Sisters were trying to find out my darkest secrets to try and destroy me. I was laughing my head off and making fun of what they were saying about me. They are bad mouthing me and Bestie and they tried to get info of me from Dear Friend. They also told Dear Friend that they are going to steel her from me so that she hates me because she sees less of me. I had an hours talk with Dear Friend and I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. I immediately texted Bestie about this and she thought it was ridiculous. My whole family did as well. Bestie then told me that she was going to spend more time with the Sisters and not me so that I don't get hurt. I didn't tell Bestie about what the Sisters said because I knew it would make her extremely upset.
Its the next day now and Dear Friend and I texted again because Dear Friend didn't tell me half of what the Sisters said ( let me mention here that the Sisters are using Dear Friend). Apparently, (Dear Friend told me this) I'm being mean to one of the Sisters because I couldn't help her with her homework and in class. Let me just say here that I am not allowed to help her in class because the teacher is so strict that if you move a smidge of even move your lips, you are sent to detention. I don't want a detention. Also, Dear Friend is Spanish and there is another Spanish girl in my year and of course they will talk Spanish. The Sisters keep on saying to Dear Friend, "It is so rude you are speaking Spanish because I don't know if you are talking about me behind my back which you probably are because you are the rudest person in the world" Dear Friend replied, "If you are so anxious about me speaking Spanish, learn the language to find out if I'm talking about you behind your back!". The Sisters also like to make people jealous just so that they feel superior. Then from here I asked a serious question.
You guys don't know this but, I'm big. I'm not the skinniest and I considered my self fat. This is so personal to me and I was so self conscious about my weight because ever since I was younger I would always ask my mum "Why am I so much fatter than everyone else?". Its a medical problem by the way. During the summer I starved my self by doing the HCG diet and only had 500 calories per day and it was hard. Please everyone look up this diet so you will know what challenges I have experiences over the past few weeks. I'm still in school and I cried my self to sleep almost every night last year because I was self conscious so I lost over a stone through the past 3 weeks. I asked Dear Friend this question "Did they say anything about my weight?" And of course they did. They said "*insert my name here* is so fat. She is like a potato and she is never going to look gorgeous because of how fat she is. It would be funny if she ever gets married and has kids. Oh wait, she is too fat to have kids!" Honestly guys, I was never that fat, they were just sticks and I was a few pounds bigger than them and now that I lost over a stone, I am not fat. This is when I knew, I can never trust the Sisters. I told Bestie this and she found it ridiculous as well. The Sisters are also obsessed with trying to get the boys in my year to like them when really they looked pathetic.
I told my best friends all of this and my family and they all found it disgusting and my really good friend's brother told one of the Sisters that I hate them because of what they did to me. And the Sisters got mad of course. That was last Friday. The Saturday afterwards (two days ago), my whole year met to support a girl in my class with something and when I arrived, the Sisters and Bestie were sitting with each other and they rolled their eyes at me in the rudest way possible. I stayed for what I needed to be for and then I left soon afterwards because I had do get to a doctors appointment straight away. Dear Friend told me that they all had an open discussion about the drama in my year (which is ALOT!!) and Bestie turned around and said that she hates me and that I'm the most annoying and stupid thing that ever walked on this planet. When I heard this, I was heart broken. I cried my self to sleep last night and I spent the whole of yesterday (Sunday) being sad and just being very depressed. I just had one of those days were your anxiety is high and you tell your self that you will never be good enough. I tried texting Bestie about a new Sushi restaurant (because we both are obsessed with sushi) that is meant to be amazing and if she wants to try it out one day and normally she would answer straight away and she just ignored me. I was shocked. Then the Sisters posted pictures on Instagram of Them and Bestie hanging out and I was actually meant to be hanging out with Bestie. I cried my self to sleep.
This brings me to today. This morning (Bestie and I normally get the train to school together) I messaged Bestie that I'm on the train and she ignored me and said "I'm in a car. See you at school" which I was shocked about because we loved taking the train. Then in registration in our form rooms, I sat next to Bestie and tried to talk to her like I normally would and she just ignored me completely. Through out the day it was the same and the Sisters were getting worse by the second. Today at school I had to stay back for a while and Bestie normally stays with me and today she just left, with the Sisters and again, I was heart broken. I just didn't know what to do. Through out this past week I just killed my self trying to stay positive and when I got home from school today, I just broke down crying non stop for 2 hours straight. I just don't know what to do.
Thank you guys so much for reading this. I really need your help and support. Please help me because I was actually (and still am) crying, writing this blog post for you all. Please help me because it will help me a lot and I promise to try and upload more blogs regularly. Please comment because I need help to get through this. See you guys soon.

What I Learned In My First Week At School!
Hello lovelies! Guess who's back back back, back again 'gain 'gain. Sorry just had to do that! Yes I am back and I missed last Monday's post because I was just getting ready for school and I was having an anxious day because duh I mean I had school the next day but today's post is going to be about what I learned during the first week of school. Speak to you guys in a second!
Getting an Early Night The Night Before
You guys may have thought this already but it is very hard! It took me two hours to be able to go to sleep early. An early night is good just so that your can get extra sleep and be ready to wake up early in the morning.
Preparing Your School Bag And Your Clothes
Also prepare these things because they make your life easier in the morning and you know that you have everything. To see what's in my school bag, check out my 'What's In My Back To School?' blog post because I think you guys will find it useful! I also leave my uniform out the night before and I think it's just a better thing to do just so you can get an extra five minutes of sleep.
First Impressions
First impressions mean everything. Whether its when your in a new school, have new teachers, make sure you have a good first impression. First impressions are a lot more important than you will ever thing they are. Make sure you are wearing the appropriate clothing as well so that you look respectful. You always want to be organised before you go to class, make sure you put a happy face on and that you are quiet, pay attention, take notes and raise your hand up when you wan tot speak. Those are the keys things to do to be on the good books of your teachers!
Learning Who Your True Friends Are
You may have known or not but I have been through quite a bit with dealing with friends. I will be doing another blog post about it. My Bestie and I together have been through a lot. We haven't fought with each other but what I mean is that we both went through the same thing with our other friends. To know a bit more about that check out my 'Do More Of What Makes You Happy' post. But what I learned this week was a lot. My friends were being right female dogs and they were being very exclusive but I will explain more about that in anther blog post. The message here is, know who you really trust, know what type of energy you want to surround your self with and know what makes you happy and who makes you happy. If you are not sure about someone, just dump them because you should be 100% happy with your friends otherwise, they are not friends if they make you feel bad or not sure. If you do this, you are going to have a better year with your real friends.
Keeping deadlines
AlWAYS KEEP DEADLINES AND NEVER PROCRASTINATE!!!!!! I know that might seem hard but trust me and you knot your selves, that doing things at the last minute is the worst feeling in the world. Make sure to keep your deadlines and do your homework on time because you will feel so much better once you get it over and done with and your teachers will also like you more because you are doing everything on time and you are organised.
Staying Healthy
Keeping a healthy diet is really important during school because you need to eat the right amount at a decent time in order to keep up your energy and have enough energy to do your work and to get through the day. Exercising regularly is also really important. I just do some simple dance/yoga/Pilates stretches and exercises (because you guys know how much I want to learn how to dance and those exercises and stretches help you become a strong and flexible dancer!) because it helps you keep fit and also its good to release some energy and just get out all the bad energy and it will also keep you happier! Remember also to drink lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of water! It keeps you hydrated and also for girls, its a cheap, simple, works the most and the most natural way to keep your complexion looking fresh and clean and spot free! I recommend drinking up to 3 litres of water (maybe even more if your would like) For girls this is the best thing ever for your skin.
And that is just about it! Comment if you have any school tips! Sorry if it was a short post but I think that it is an important one! Thank you guys so incredibly much for reading and thank you for all your support! I hope you enjoyed this post and found it useful in someway! I will be posting more fun and exciting blog posts once school settles and I am on track and organised with all my work I have to do! Remember to give me feedback and comment Q&A questions for my Q&A blog post which will be posted next Friday! Keep an eye out for updates on my blog and I will tell if I have updated anything! Remember, I'm going to do a contest for who is going to collab blog posts with me! To enter, just be an active follower and email me (itsjustthatgirl123@gmail.com) what you would like to do and see in a blogpost, why you want to collab with me and your favourite places to be at during the summer holidays! See you lovelies later!

What's In My School Bag
Hey everyone! Today's post is going to be about what's in my school bag. I start school on Tuesday *cries*, meaning that summer is coming to a close. *cries again* I have had a really good summer and I hope you guys have had an amazing time too! This post will also help you with how to be organised and to avoid garbage and gross stuff coming into your school bag! Remember to give me feedback and comment Q&A questions for my Q&A blog post which will be posted next Friday! Keep an eye out for updates on my blog and I will tell if I have updated anything! Remember, I'm going to do a contest for who is going to collab blog posts with me! To enter, just be an active follower and email me (itsjustthatgirl123@gmail.com) what you would like to do and see in a blogpost, why you want to collar with me and your favourite places to be at during the summer holidays! So remember to do that! Let's get on with this post!
1. My Lululemon 'Pack It Up Backpack'
I recommend using a rucksack (backpack) for school because they are easy to carry around and they can hold a lot of stuff. You can use Jansport or any brand like that because those bags are super reliable! I love my 'Pack It Up Backpack' because it is the perfect size for me and it can hold anything that I want in there. As you probably know, I have my 'Pack To Reality' rucksack from Lululemon as well. I use that bag for travelling and not for school because I personally think that it is suited to travel more than it is to use for school. I LOVE Lululemon and I definitely recommend checking their products out!
2. My Notebooks
3. My Wallet
Definitely bring your wallet wherever you go. I keep my school ID card in their, my transportation card, my coins, my receipts and my keys.
4. An Umbrella
Just in case! You ALWAYS want to be prepared!
5. My Glasses Case
In their I keep my glasses cleaner also if I don't want to wear my glasses then I can just put them in their case.
6. My Sanitary/ Beauty Pouch
I always keep this pouch on me. I keep one pouch in my locker and one in my bag to be extra prepared for anything and I keep the same things in each pouch. My pouch is a medium pouch because I am a girl and I need more things to be prepared for. If you are a girl and want to be prepared for anything, I recommend keeping these things in your pouch.
1. Hair Ties
2. Bobby Pins (which I keep in a tic-tac box so that I'm organised)
3. Deodorant
4. Small Perfume Bottle
5. A Bath and Body Works hand sanitiser ( I keep a couple just in case)
6. Wisp (the tiny tooth brushes with mint essence on them that are disposable that I mention all the time because they are amazing. They are also by Colgate.)
7. Dry Shampoo
8. Pads/ Tampons (choose which one is your preference)
9. Extra underwear just in case a leak happens
10. Extra bootie shorts that I wear under my skirt ( I have school uniform and girls have to wear skirts)
11. An extra skirt
12. Tissues
13. 2 Plastic bags to put my leaked clothes in if that emergency ever happens
Of course you can adjust this to what you need to prepare for anything or to keep clean and fresh during school!
7. Pencil Case
I don't know about you but I love stationary. I don't know what it is but I just love it! I have one pencil case and I bring it around with me around school whenever I need to. In my pencil case I keep:
- 10 erasable pens
- 10 normal pens
- 10 pencils
- 5 erasers
- 2 sharpeners
- 2 glue sticks
- 1 pair of scissors
- 3 highlighters (1 yellow, 1 pink, 1 purple)
-My full geometry set
I know this seems a lot but, this lasts me a long time and my pencil case is a medium sized case and I always want to be prepared. Yes this is expensive but, by the end of the year, you have probably bought the same amount of what I have listed above all together and maybe even more.
8. My 13 Inch MacBook Air + The sleeve/case I keep it in
In school you are required to have those types of computers. Also my school is so strict with laptops ( I go to quite a strict school), If any teachers catch you doing something else on your laptop that you're not mean to be doing or if you don't have permission, you are put in 1:30 minutes of detention and I would rather not do that because who wants to be in an hour and a half worth of detention!?!?!?
9. Snacks + Water Bottle
I bring snacks and a water bottle everyday I go to school so that I can keep hydrated during the day and if I get hungry, I can eat something during my break time. Again I keep my snacks in a pouch because I like to stay clean and organised so I use pouches to do that. This pouch is again a small-medium sized pouch. In there I bring;
1. What ever snack I decide to bring that day.
2. Chewing Gum + Mints
In the pouch I bring, there is a tiny zippered compartment. In their I hide my mints and gum. I do this because my school is super strict on gum and if they see even a glimpse of chewing gum, you are put in detention for 1:30 mins. I don't want to be in detention therefore, I hide my gum and mints as best as I can and that is why I also use the pouch that I use.
10. Chargers
I have a pouch for my chargers as well. This is actually a Jansport pouch that I bought online that is the 'Vector Accessory Pouch' that is made for chargers. In that pouch I keep;
- My mophie/ portable charger for my phone! You never want your phone to die! I recommend bringing this with you where ever you go! Just make sure that it's fully charged!
- My laptop charger. On most days I don't necessarily I don't bring my laptop charger but, If I know that I might have to use it at school or if I find out in the morning before I pack my laptop in my bag that it wasn't charging, then I bring my laptop charger.
- Spare pair of headphones just in case the ones I use break. I also keep extra earbuds in a tiny plastic pouch just in case any earbuds get lost, I have back ups and spares.
11. My Phone + Headphones
I always bring my phone where ever I go and I always have it on me in case of emergencies plus, if I want to watch/play/listen to something on my way to school, then I can. Again my school is even more strict if they see a phone. If any teachers catch you on your phone, you are put in detention for 1:30 mins, so I have learned to be sneaky with my phone and how not to be caught.
Thank you guys so incredibly much for reading and thank you for all your support! I hope you enjoyed this post and found it useful in someway! I will be posting more fun and exciting blog posts once school settles and I am on track and organised with all my work I have to do! Remember to give me feedback and comment Q&A questions for my Q&A blog post which will be posted really soon! Keep an eye out for updates on my blog and I will tell if I have updated anything!

5 Apps That I Have Used The Most This Month
Hi everyone! Today's blogpost is going to be about my most used apps from the past month. Now the apps that I'm mentioning are from my most used apps from July because its only the 10th of August (WOW! already?!?!?!?!?!) and it hasn't been a full month, therefor, I'm gonna show you the 5 most used apps I used in July- if that made any sense at all! and just for your information, these apps are in no particular order and I all used the apps the same amount of time-more or less.Remember to give me feedback and comment Q&A questions for my Q&A blog post coming up really soon! Keep an eye out for updates on my blog and I will tell if I have updated anything! Remember, I'm going to do a contest for who is going to collab blog posts with me! To enter, just be an active follower and email me (itsjustthatgirl123@gmail.com) what you would like to do and see in a blogpost and your favourite places to be at during the summer holidays! So remember to do that! Without further of due, lets get with the post!
1. Instagram
I'm pretty sure most people have Instagram and I am a bit obsessed with it.... but this month I was particularly looking at like healthy foods on Insta and it is honestly addictive but it is so cool. I recommend following a page called 'Cleanfoodrush'. She is amazing and she even gives you the entire recipe in a post and I've tried out her recipes and they taste THE BOMB! Plus, I love keeping up with all my friends and I love to see what they are up to during their vacations!
2. Pinterest
I am OBSESSED with Pinterest. Like in one month, I have over 600 pins of just random things from hair to stationary to baking etc. I used to be the only person out of all my friends who never liked it and I was the only person who didn't have it and I used to be one of those people that were like 'yeah, its bad, you can barely do anything' and I genuinely never understood it. I tried it out like before I went on vacation and I have been obsessed and I recommend you all get a Pinterest account!

3. Snapchat
I am also obsessed with snapchat and I love using it so much! I think that it's something fun to use and I love it and also i can also connect with my friends on it plus so many you tubers are starting to use it now and that just means another way I can keep up with all my fave you tubers!
4. FML
This app is hilarious! This app is an app where basically, users write embarrassing stories and you get to vote on whether 'You deserved it' or 'I agree, your life sucks'. If you are in a mood for a laugh and you just want to read some funny stories, I definitely recommend getting that app!
5. Simply Ludo
You may have heard of this. This was actually a board game but they have made it now into an app. I find that it is sort of calming. Its a game of aeroplanes on a board game. You have to look it up to understand what it looks like. If you look it up, please try it out because I think you will enjoy it!
Thank you guys so much for reading this. I know this post was kinda boring but maybe one of you will enjoy it and maybe one of you guys are interested.

5 Things That We All Do That No One Won't Admit To
Hey everyone! How's it going? Today's post is going to be a very laid back, type of buzz feed post that I hope you guys will enjoy! Please check out my last few posts especially at the conclusion paragraph because it has some very important info on it! I hope you enjoy this post and see you lovelies later!
1. Stalking
Everyone stalks each other. Let's admit it. Whether it is on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter basically any social media. And no one ever admits to stalking. I will admit. I stalk. Especially on Instagram and I don't know why people do it but I find I definitely do it but I will never admit it with my friends. I was having a conversation with someone and it kinda went like this;
Me: *stalks person on Instagram*
Friend: "Why are you stalking *inserts persons name that I'm stalking* Instagram's page"?
Me: *Hides phone* "No I'm not, I'm just umm umm umm you know just adoring all their photos" *nervous/fake chuckles*
So let's all admit it, we stalk!
2. Lying about our plans
This is for the more introverted people (like me for instance), we also lie about our plans. Come on now. Let's be real. We have ALL done this at least once in our lives. This actually has happened to me quite a few times in my life and I know it has happened to quite a lot of you guys! The last time this has happened to me was actually last week. I was chilling on my couch, watching netflix (as you do), eating chips, in my pyjamas and suddenly I heard this really annoying sound. It was my phone and it was one of my friends. I was really not up to doing anything all I wanted to do was watch netflix. This is how the conversation went;
Friend: "Hey, do you wanna come out later with *insert some more of my friends names here* and I to get our hair and makeup done? It will be so fun! We can maybe even go to *Inserts my friends crush's name* house to go to his party!"
Me: *Pauses netflix show* "I'm uh sick" *fake coughs* *tries to sound like I have a cold* "Sorry I can't come" *fake coughs*
Friend: "Oh, ok. Too bad then. I'll tell you all about it. Love yah!"
That was basically how it went. And let me tell you something, it was the best decision I have ever made in my life!
3. Acting like we eat healthily
This just needs to be said. We all lie about this. Especially if we are around our friends. I admit it, I do not eat healthily, but that all changes when I am around my friends. This happened to be the other day and let me just tell you how the conversation went;
*Conversation has been going on for 10 mins now and we suddenly go on to the topic of eating healthily*
Friend: "Omg you guys, you have to try this recipe out! It has an amazing amount of greens, protein, ugh it is just amazing!
Other Friend: "Oh yes I have had that before! It is amazing! I find that actually if you put some chia seeds into your un-sweetend Greek yogurt, it will work wonders for your body!"
Friend: "Oh really? What do you think *says my name*"
Me: "Oh I agree with both of you. I found that if you eat those food regularly, you will have a fit body in no time!" *thinks: no I don't! I love eating pizzas' 24/7 and having ice cream for dessert! I don't even have a clue to what they were just saying!* *smiles*
If you can't relate to that, then you are VERY lucky!
4. That We Don't Procrastinate
Everyone procrastinates. Don't act like you don't- because you do! I admit, I procrastinate quite a bit. We all love to act like we never procrastinate but lets be honest here- we do! Just let me tell you about another conversation I once had with my friends;
*We get given two weeks to finish a homework assignment. Everyone has left it to the last minute*
Friend: "Ugh I will never be able to finish this! I will never be able to start! Ugh!
Me: *Also hasn't started* "Well, I have actually have nearly finished mine!"
Friend: "Seriously?"
Me: "Yes" *thinks: nope* "I hardly every procrastinate!" *fake smiles*
If you have never done that, then your lying!
5. Pretending liking presents that we actually hate
This happens to me all the time! Reason no. 567 of why I hate my birthday! This is probably because I am literally the hardest person to get presents for and I genuinely want nothing as a present or even to buy. And we all have to admit that this has happened to us at least once;
*my birthday and I'm opening my presents*
Mum: *Hands me over a present* "I hope you enjoy this! I spent a lot of money on it so I think you will like it!"
Me: *opens present* *finds out to be a shirt that is a colour that I hate and is a size too big!* *finds out it was from a high end store* "Wow umm. Thanks mum" *fake smiles*
Mum: "I knew you would love it! Now since this was quite expensive, you're not going to get any more gifts."
Me: "Oh, um thats ok." *cries inside for hours*
If this has never happened to you, then I am EXTREMELY jealous because that basically happens every time its my birthday!
Thank you busy so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed reding this post and this type of style of post! Please check out my last few post because at the conclusion paragraphs it has very important info on it so PLEASE do that! See you guys soon!

10 Ways To Make Your School Life Easier
Hello everyone! Today's post is going to be 10 ways to make your school life easier. This is scary for me to write because I start school in 2 weeks. 2 WEEKS!!!! I mean, where has the summer gone? Why has it gone so fast? But we all need to face the reality with school and I am so scared for it to start because its just trigging anxiety in me and that makes it even worse and scary and I am just not ready and I'm its like that for the most students in the world so I'm making a post to help make your school life easier! Lets get rolling with the post!- I can't believe I just said that!
1. Folders
You need a folder to organise your papers, homework, books etc. And without one, its just a mess. I don't know about you guys but my teacher screams at me if I don't have folders for each of my classes so I followed that advise and it helps so much! I recommend getting a folder for each class. Also a way to make your life easier, put a pencil in that folder just as a backup if anything happens to your stationary, you know you have an emergency pencil in each folder! I also recommend getting different coloured folders so that you know each colour belongs to a class. If you do this, this will;
1. Help keep your locker clean
2. You important papers will never get lost and you have everything you need to study
Remember to put everything from that class into that folder e.g. books etc.
2. Homework schedule
I don't know about you guys but in school, we get a piece of paper telling us what nights we are expected to get homework on, that helps me so much because if a teacher starts giving me homework on the wrong night, I can actually not accept the homework and show my teacher the list and be like 'sorry, you can't give us homework tonight'. But if your school is not like that, I recommend making a chart or put a tiny whiteboard in your locker and when you get out of classes (if you can) go to your locker and write what homework you have and what it is. This will then remind you what homework you have and when you pack your bag, you know what you need to pack. Make sure to also make a schedule of when things are due and how important they are and how much time they take on another chart close to the chart that reminds you of what homework you have.
I hate doing homework at home because I find that I have way too many distractions and I find that I can't focus so I actually do homework in my breaks if I have the time to. You may find me weird but I like to get things over and done with plus its the perfect opportunity to work with your friends if you need help and it's much less to do when you get home. This will help you especially if you do something after school.
3. Books
I don't know about you guys but when all my notebooks are in my bag, they all look the same. I bring my folders home if I got homework from that class but the books still all look the same. So what I do is decorate the tops of the notebooks so that I know which books are what as well as them being in different coloured folders.
4. People Stealing Your Stationary
Everyone steals my stationary because I am literally the only one in my class who can keep track and never lose my stationary. How do I do this you might ask? Well, it's simple. Take some colourful tape ( if your don't have any, just get a marker and colour some tape to do this) and just wrap it around your stationary. That way you know whats yours and if people steal anything, you can prove to them that all of your stationary is also with that tape. If people still take your stuff and peel the tape off, you can always paint or use a sharpie to colour the places where the tape should go. Remember to make the tape/ sharpie/ paint the same colour for everything so that if anyone takes anything, you can prove its all yours!
5. How To Work Quickly
Now everyone loves getting things done fast so that you are finished and you get free time. A trick to work quickly is to put some epic music on that is loud, a bit like war music and music like that. This is because you are working to the sound of the music and if you put fast, loud music on, you will work quicker! It just gets in you in the zone. Almost like James Bond action music. Literally the best way I can describe it! Just remember to check your answers so that you don't make careless mistakes because you are working so fast! That will help you so much and you won't realise it!
6. Essays
I don't know about you guys but whenever I have to go back to school, I always just get these random essays to write and it always has to be what we are passionate about. I have learned a tip and that is to write about something that you hate. It can be anything, but if you get given a topic to write about, try to make what you are going to write about close to the topic you need to write about as possible. Why am I saying write something that you hate about? This is because, yes, you can write something you love but lets be honest, you might become a bit bias towards that topic, but if you write about something you hate, you can rant on for hours and give plenty of reasons why you hate it and maybe some good ones too but make sure you keep to your essay question. Your teacher may think of you as a bit negative but its worth the grade!
7. Remembering Facts
If you need to remember facts, say it out loud so that your brain hears it for it self and also write it down a few times so that both your mind and hands know the fact. Also, chew something that contains peppermint. Peppermint helps your brain and prepares it to store information.
8. Stuck In A Test?
I'm sure everyone has those moments when they just completely blank out in a test. If you don't, then I hate you because I am so jealous! So when you get stuck at that question, have a drink of water. This calms yourself down so that you don't get stressed out by the question and makes it worse for yourself and it makes your mind more reasonable and before you know it, you remember the right answer or the method to get to the right answer.
9. Don't Use Flashcards For Everything
If you use flashcards all the time and you don't remember the information that you need to, that is a sign that flashcards don't work for you. Instead try other methods. Flashcards (although a great way of learning) is quite a shallow way of studying because you are only reading it and to remember it as much as possible, you need to be able to write it down. If you do want to use flashcards, use bright and colourful ones. That way it helps stimulate your brain.
10. Hygiene
School isn't probably one of the most hygienic places in the whole world. Most of the time your breath doesn't smell nice, your hands feel icky, you feel like you smell a bit and generally, you want to feel clean. I recommend setting a section aside in your locker to keep sanitary things e.g. small deodorant, small perfume bottle, hair ties/ bobby pins, whispies (( I mentioned these in my travel essentials post). They are small toothbrushes that have mint essence on them so if you ever feel like you want to brush your teeth, they are there and ready to use!), hand sanitiser and I don't know about you guys but we have hooks in our lockers at school to hang our blazers up if we want to so what I do is hang up an air freshener that smells like mint so that my whole locker smells nice and clean! Also, keep a pocket in your bag for any mints or gum. I'm saying to keep it in your bag because in most schools, you can't chew gum and teachers won't go in your bag so your bag is the perfect place to hide them. Also to hide sweets and things!

1. Folders
You need a folder to organise your papers, homework, books etc. And without one, its just a mess. I don't know about you guys but my teacher screams at me if I don't have folders for each of my classes so I followed that advise and it helps so much! I recommend getting a folder for each class. Also a way to make your life easier, put a pencil in that folder just as a backup if anything happens to your stationary, you know you have an emergency pencil in each folder! I also recommend getting different coloured folders so that you know each colour belongs to a class. If you do this, this will;
1. Help keep your locker clean
2. You important papers will never get lost and you have everything you need to study
Remember to put everything from that class into that folder e.g. books etc.
2. Homework schedule
I don't know about you guys but in school, we get a piece of paper telling us what nights we are expected to get homework on, that helps me so much because if a teacher starts giving me homework on the wrong night, I can actually not accept the homework and show my teacher the list and be like 'sorry, you can't give us homework tonight'. But if your school is not like that, I recommend making a chart or put a tiny whiteboard in your locker and when you get out of classes (if you can) go to your locker and write what homework you have and what it is. This will then remind you what homework you have and when you pack your bag, you know what you need to pack. Make sure to also make a schedule of when things are due and how important they are and how much time they take on another chart close to the chart that reminds you of what homework you have.
I hate doing homework at home because I find that I have way too many distractions and I find that I can't focus so I actually do homework in my breaks if I have the time to. You may find me weird but I like to get things over and done with plus its the perfect opportunity to work with your friends if you need help and it's much less to do when you get home. This will help you especially if you do something after school.
3. Books
I don't know about you guys but when all my notebooks are in my bag, they all look the same. I bring my folders home if I got homework from that class but the books still all look the same. So what I do is decorate the tops of the notebooks so that I know which books are what as well as them being in different coloured folders.
4. People Stealing Your Stationary
Everyone steals my stationary because I am literally the only one in my class who can keep track and never lose my stationary. How do I do this you might ask? Well, it's simple. Take some colourful tape ( if your don't have any, just get a marker and colour some tape to do this) and just wrap it around your stationary. That way you know whats yours and if people steal anything, you can prove to them that all of your stationary is also with that tape. If people still take your stuff and peel the tape off, you can always paint or use a sharpie to colour the places where the tape should go. Remember to make the tape/ sharpie/ paint the same colour for everything so that if anyone takes anything, you can prove its all yours!
5. How To Work Quickly
Now everyone loves getting things done fast so that you are finished and you get free time. A trick to work quickly is to put some epic music on that is loud, a bit like war music and music like that. This is because you are working to the sound of the music and if you put fast, loud music on, you will work quicker! It just gets in you in the zone. Almost like James Bond action music. Literally the best way I can describe it! Just remember to check your answers so that you don't make careless mistakes because you are working so fast! That will help you so much and you won't realise it!
6. Essays
I don't know about you guys but whenever I have to go back to school, I always just get these random essays to write and it always has to be what we are passionate about. I have learned a tip and that is to write about something that you hate. It can be anything, but if you get given a topic to write about, try to make what you are going to write about close to the topic you need to write about as possible. Why am I saying write something that you hate about? This is because, yes, you can write something you love but lets be honest, you might become a bit bias towards that topic, but if you write about something you hate, you can rant on for hours and give plenty of reasons why you hate it and maybe some good ones too but make sure you keep to your essay question. Your teacher may think of you as a bit negative but its worth the grade!
7. Remembering Facts
If you need to remember facts, say it out loud so that your brain hears it for it self and also write it down a few times so that both your mind and hands know the fact. Also, chew something that contains peppermint. Peppermint helps your brain and prepares it to store information.
8. Stuck In A Test?
I'm sure everyone has those moments when they just completely blank out in a test. If you don't, then I hate you because I am so jealous! So when you get stuck at that question, have a drink of water. This calms yourself down so that you don't get stressed out by the question and makes it worse for yourself and it makes your mind more reasonable and before you know it, you remember the right answer or the method to get to the right answer.
