Its almost that time of year again…Back to School!
Here are Max Agencys Top 5 Tips for Surviving the Back to School process!
1. Have a positive attitude
Heading into something new or scary with a good attitude will automatically make it a more positive experience. In other words, by having a positive outlook on things, more positivity will be attracted to you. For example, always walk the halls with your head up high and a smile on your face. That will attract more people to talk to you. Have an open mind during your classes so you are more likely to learn something. Having a negative attitude will only bring negative results.
2. Get involved
Getting involved in clubs and teams is always a great way to make friends and have a good time. In most high schools, there are clubs available for students with all sorts of interests such as drama, band, student government, dance, etc.! Not only is this great for your social life but it could also impact your future. Having experience in a club or on a sports team could be extremely beneficial if you wish to pursue a career in an athletic field (sports team), as an actor (drama club), in politics (student government), etc.
3. Keep an agenda/planner
In order to organize your time as best as you can while juggling your studies and extra curricular activities, an agenda or planner is a must! This is a tool to keep track of when assignments are due or when you have practice after school. Its also a place to make to-do lists where you can check each item off that youve accomplished. To develop a healthy routine and resist the urge to procrastinate, invest in a cute notebook that you dont mind carrying around with you all the time!
4. Be prepared with school supplies
To cause less stress on the first day back, go shopping ahead of time to get all the supplies you need. You know what classes you have therefore you know what youll need whether its a ruler, protractor, coloured pencils or calculator. Remember you might want to get a different binder for each class to keep your notes organized. Having the necessary supplies on the first day erases some of the stress and allows you to focus on everything else that youre nervous about!
5. Find your people
While there may be pressure to get in with the “popular kids”, its very important to find your own set of friends who you truly get along with. Dont force yourself to spend time with certain people just because you feel like you should to “be cool.” Hang out with people who have the same interests and values as you, who you enjoy spending time with. And if you are having trouble finding those people, dont fret. Elementary and high school are not the end of the world so if you havent found your forever group of friends quite yet, thats completely okay!
