It's that time of year again where some are filled with great anxiousness and then others cry tears of agony. Whether you're walking with your new shoes on or you're hitting the pavement towards the infamous bus stop, the school year is quickly approaching.

It seems August came quickly this year, and is going just as fast. People all over the world are preparing to go back to school whether they like it or not, and it's up to a special someone to give some tips on what to expect and easy tips to survive and come out with nothing but success.

1. Prepare in advance

In most cases, students get a list of their needed books, tools, and idea of classes prior to the next upcoming school year. Being prepared prior to the first day of class is actually more helpful than what others seem to believe.

In college, it's much harder to have everything all planned out before the first day unless the teacher has it all together, but you you have a once in a blue moon chance of that . Focus in on the easy necessities you know you will need to get them out of the way.

Shop a little each time you go to the store. Create a list aside along your grocery or shopping spree list that way about time August comes around next year you won't have so much to run and get. Pick up a pack of pens or a notebook to start off just to get the flow of your collection going.

2. Research and study

Whether you're going to your first day of fourth grade or your going into your senior year of college, most times you know what classes or subjects will be covered within the upcoming school year.

Whether you are the one to choose the classes that you are taking or someone else is, the objective of each subject is presented prior to the first day of class.

So, while you're on break at work, fresh home from summer camp, or having one of your final days at the beach, look a bit into where Geometry, Urban Sociology or Women's Literature comes from. Learn where the subject came from or who started it, and when class begins discussions, you may be the lucky student of the day that can answer just exactly what the teacher wants to hear, maybe even shock your own teacher.

3. Practice

One of the main problems with people of all ages is that most times they don't give themselves enough time to just be at ease. The beginning and the very end of the school year can be the most stressful times. It's very important to get plenty of sleep and take the proper health precautions daily.

As the first day of classes approach, try to shake off the last few party nights and family barbecues. Begin going to bed at a more reasonable time as if class begins the next day.

Wake up as if you have a morning class and practice eating a healthy breakfast to get that metabolism going nice and early.

As a result, when class time does in fact come around you'll be popping up like popcorn every morning feeling great and having less stress and restlessness sitting on your shoulders.

Each school year as you excel will have its difficulties, it's up to you as the student to stay positive and attentive. Knowledge isn't given to the swift, it's given to the patient and willing.
