Why You Should Not Leave Summer Work to the Last Minute

Why You Should Not Leave Summer Work to the Last Minute
Westwood civic club

When you are in high school you will have summer assignments, its inevitable. Depending on what classes you take (AP classes will have more work than most) you will have a variety of things to complete over the summer. Read one book and write a paper about it, keep a current events journal, and many other reading comprehension type assignments. Also, depending on what grade you are going into, the more work you will have, an incoming freshman will have much less work to complete compared to an incoming junior.

After everybody finished school, and you get your summer assignments you think that you are going to get ahead of the game and get all of it done so you can have a relaxing summer. The problem that almost everybody runs into is the fact that we all have just finished exams and think "I have all the time in the world, why would I start now?" That mentally seems like it would work out really well but most people leave it to the last week of the summer, and they have to work a miracle to finish everything that they are meant to.

Leaving it to the end can mean that you had a great relaxing summer and you wanted to get the most out of the time you had. The problem is everyone wants to have the most relaxed summer, so they can rest and be the best they can be for the upcoming year. However if you are rushed and stressed in the last week of the summer you will not be completely rested for the year.

It would be the best for everybody to do all of their summer work gradually throughout the summer, or set goals. You could think that you are going to finish one classes work per month- depending on how much work you actually have to do, and the amount of classes. we have all been in the position when we have procrastinated and it is the absolute last minute and felt how rushed it can become. Obviously everyone wants to have the best summers of their lives when they are in high school but setting apart a bit of time every week or so to do some summer assignments, it would really pay off in the long run because you will be the best self that you can be going in to the upcoming school year.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
