Whether you are entering as a freshman in college or high school, or elementary school, the back-to-school is back! In stores like Walmart and Target, school supplies are completely stocked waiting for children to go get their fancy rainbow binders. To help ensure that these students start the school year off on the right foot, I have made a list of 11 tips/tricks that will be useful and helpful for you this year!


Tip #1: Develop organizing skills that will benefit YOU

Everything works differently for all students. You should choose the skills that will work best with your needs and schedule. If a system doesn't work, then try again because maybe you may just need more time to get used to it.

Tip #2: Reward Yourself

This will help avoid procrastination!

Tip #3: Avoid distractions at your workplace

This is an important one because this place is strictly used for studying and working.

Tip #4: Use a planner for all your homework and upcoming quizzes and tests

Having all of this in one place will be much easier for you to locate and figure out what is due on what day.

Tip #5: Take quick breaks in between studying 

This will allow you to be more focused on what you are actually preparing for.

Tip #6: Create and save your own study guides 

This is make you understand the content in your own words and allow you to paraphrase things much faster.

Tip #7: Learn how to communicate with your teachers

I know we think our teachers the WORST however in order to be successful in that particular class, you must get to know your teacher and ask for help when you need it.

Tip #8: Using online resources isn't a bad idea

Khan Academy is a very helpful source if you truly don't want to ask your math teacher about a math problem that you are having.

Tip #9: Use phrases while taking notes 

Do not - I repeat - do not write paragraphs for your notes; just make a bullet list of phrases to help you grasp the information.

Tip #10: Make sure you eat breakfast everyday

I know everyone has to wake up early in the morning, but still, that's no excuse to not eating the most important meal.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
