15 Tips to Get Your Home Ready for the School Year!
Tumblr media
Back to school. Whether you’re a parent who loves or loathes this time of year, it’s inescapable. Beyond back-to-school shopping, creating a study-friendly environment in your house is important to your child’s academic success. 
Since most households with school-age children were forced to homeschool in some form or another during the pandemic, you probably have gotten a head start, but even though your children may be returning to an onsite classroom, retaining some form of homeschool space shows the value you place on their education. Here are some ways to create designated study spaces.
Choose a spot and stick with it. Depending on the layout and size of your home, this could be a corner in your kitchen, a desk in their bedroom or a home office. Make sure the area is quiet and free from distractions as much as possible. 
Keep noise-canceling headphones or earplugs nearby to minimize disturbances.
Make sure the desk and chair are compatible and are both at a comfortable height to avoid fatigue and/or pain. Keep in mind that your child’s laptop, keyboard and mouse should be ergonomically set up. Teach your child (and remind yourself) about healthy workplace posture.
Lighting should be bright so your child can focus. Natural light from windows is great, but not always available. Overhead lighting should mimic daylight but shouldn’t be the only form of light in a home office environment. Task lighting should also be available and should be direct, intense illumination. 
Stock up on school supplies and keep them plentiful to avoid unnecessary delays in getting to work. Here’s a list to get you started.
Paper
Notebook
Graph
Poster board
Printer
Cardstock
Post-it notes
Binders
Paper cutter
Hole punch
Stapler and staples
Glue sticks
Paperclips
Binder clips
Pencils
Pencil sharpener
Colored pencils
Highlighters
Magic markers
Crayons
Pens in different colors
Sharpies
Tape
Printer ink
Rulers
Scissors
File folders
Calculator
Keep supplies organized. Cabinets, shelving, wall-mounted organizers such as storage pockets, over-the-door organizers, under-the-bed storage – choose a clear system and make sure you and your child stick with it. 
Mount a calendar to the wall. A large wall calendar can also serve as a family communication center, keeping everyone abreast of important deadlines, meetings, practices, events, vacations, etc.
Decorate the area with a few inspiring pieces of artwork based on what will be appealing and motivating to your child.
Create a snack station and keep it supplied with healthy choices. Water bottles, juice boxes, fruit, crackers, etc.
Keep a bulletin board and/or refrigerator space open for prized student work. Rotate out the celebrated achievements so they know you are supportive and aware.
Keep a charging station available in the kitchen or other “public” spot. Establish limits on phone use. During study and sleeping hours, make sure your child’s phone is in your sight and charging.
Check your internet connection and make sure it’s particularly strong in your home’s designated study area.
Limit screen time (watching television, playing video games, using social media) to two hours a day. Encourage your child to find other activities to do such as playing outside and spending face-to-face time with family.
Teach your child the 20-20-20 rule. According to the American Optometric Association, for every 20 minutes you spend looking at a digital device – including a computer screen – you should look at something else that is 20 feet away for a period of 20 seconds.
Establish good bedtime habits and a consistent sleeping schedule.
Improving your child’s productivity and focus at home will help with their success at school. By making it clear that you are working to create a space that is both comfortable and conducive to learning, it will be clear to them that you highly prioritize their academic achievements.

Create a study environment
Find a quiet space or put on headphones so you can focus. You might not be able to get to the International Space Station yet, but a library, a study room, or a spot outside can be a good place to study. If it’s noisy around you, try using headphones to block out distractions.

౨ৎ How to romanticize this school year 🎀
I know school might be tiring , boring , or even scary , so here are some ways to romanticize this school year , next school year , and all the future school years to come
౨ৎ Stretch in the morning and drink water , usually when we wake up for school most of us don’t wanna get out of our bed and are extremely tired or drained out due to either waking up early or not getting enough sleep from last night 🎀 , so it is very important to stretch doing some poses you already know or watch videos on YouTube that are abt 5 - 10 mins depending on how much time u have , drinking water is also good for your skin and fastens your metabolism it will also hydrate you in the morning which can lessen how tired you were when you woke up . 🧚🏽‍♀️
౨ৎ sleep early , I know this might be very hard for some people because of the amount of things that they have to do , but you can limit the amount of time u take to do those things and take naps or sleep around 8 - 10 MAX , sleeping around these times are more healthy than sleeping around 12 pm or 3 am in the morning , your body needs the most rest it can get to keep it going 🎀
౨ৎ Please be yourself in school , many people tend to want to fit in and change themselves bc of what other people think , what their friend group says , or even how the internet influenced them to behave , you don’t have to change your behavior / personality just to fit in a group / area , real friends / loved ones will love you the way you are 💗🎀 .
౨ৎ Don’t disrespect teachers for no reason at all please 😭😭 , many teachers don’t get paid enough for dealing with kids all day long , make sure you’re being respectful to them and being nice / positive , one way you can do that is by simply greeting them good morning everyday or saying bye to them everyday .
౨ৎ PLEASE try on your grade , obsessing over your grade isn’t good either you don’t have to be sad / mad at yourself bc you didn’t get a 100% remember that everyone isn’t perfect , although you should try and bump your grades or try to be better at the subject you’re struggling with , when teachers notice you try your best in class they most likely bump your grade or try to give u extra credit even if you got a low grade . 🎀
౨ৎ Don’t start drama for no reason , trust me it’s not worth it ; you can get in trouble and that can be draining always try and be positive if someone else is being negative , rude , or annoying ; ignore them or don’t talk to them ; don’t try to engage with bad conversations with them to also get YOU in trouble , if you’re a good student and you barley get in trouble your teachers might let you go or not pay attention to it the first or 2nd time u get in trouble . 🤗
౨ৎ I can not stretch this enough , PLEASE organize your things , being organized can make school less stressful for you since you know where all your things are ! it’s much more easier than stressing when you need a notebook / paper / or an assignment and you can’t find it , an app that can help you be organized is notion ; using notion can track your to do’s like if you finished an assignment , need help with something , and be organized in general 🎀 .
౨ৎ Don’t be nasty , most people like me don’t like to hang around people who smell bad or do disgusting things , stick to a scent that smells good ; you don’t need a bunch of perfume sprayed all over you unless you have 2 or more perfumes mixed together that smells heavenly 😋 , PLEASE use deodorant and brush your teeth TWICE a day that way you can be clean and healthy , also take a shower everyday there’s no point of missing a shower be clean . 🎀

school tips from a top student
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
hello angels ! i've always been a top student and this school year i'm going to be a senior so i think i've gained enough school experience to give y'all some tips in case you need them 𔘓ㅤ
★ procrastinating is your biggest enemy
this is pretty much self explanatory but I wanted to include it because it's the reason most people don't do well at school. every minute that you waste procrastinating ruins everything because you won't be able to study/do the assignments at all or they won't end up being good because of your stress. don't do this to yourself.
★ get enough sleep
a good student always gets at least 8+ hours of sleep every night & especially during the exam season. i disagree with some people that think that its ok to not study at all for the rest of the school year and to just pull all nighters during the exam season to study the things they missed. sleep is very important because if you don't sleep you simply can't concentrate so you should never skip sleeping.
★ don't be late
don't be late in the morning and don't skip classes randomly & without a reason. even if you don't get a detention the teachers won't respect you because you are the one not respecting them in the first place.
★ lying to your teacher = lying to yourself
now if you lie about the reason that you're late or the reason that you didn't do the assignments you're disrespecting your own self. also sometimes teachers don't react when a student lies to them but that doesn't mean that they don't understand it. stop thinking that you're an evil genius and that you're capable of manipulating the teachers into thinking that you're innocent. you're not, stop being delusional.
★ be two steps ahead, when it's possible
that's hard and of course it's not always possible but it's a good idea because that way you will be informed about the topic that you're going to learn so you'll be able to participate more actively in class & it will be easier for you to memorize the info.
★ look good to feel good
it's a fact that if you look neat & pretty you will be more motivated to do well in school because you'll be more confident, so take some time to pick a nice outfit, take a shower & even try a cute hairstyle.
★ but beauty shouldn't be your #1 priority rn
yes it's important to look & feel pretty but that's not the reason you're in school so it shouldn't distract you. I know girls that put too much effort in the way they look that they completely forget about their assignments.
★ discover how your brain works
if you already haven't, I suggest you to discover the way your brain memorizes faster info. some people have to write down things to learn them while others memorize easier things they hear. whatever it is it can help you to find a studying method that works for you.
★ find yourself a few productive distractions
distractions should be avoided in general but a boring schedule is bad for you too. to avoid a boring repetitive schedule find some productive things you can do other than studying for school. like practice some kind of sport or an art or learn foreign languages. keep in mind that ivy league schools appreciate people that are good students at school but at the same time they have more interests like sports or art. so bonus points if you want to get into an ivy league.
★ avoid drama at all costs
please, whatever you do, avoid drama. this is already a very stressful period of your life because you're a teenager & a student so stay away from things that can ruin your mental health and sabotage you. don't get into fights.
★ wrong (!!) time to party
I know that partying is fun but rn it's a wrong time of your life to party. partying can lead to procrastination & it can also ruin both your mental and your physical health. also most parties are full of drama and that can distract you. I know so many top students whose school performance went downhill when they magically transformed into party animals.
★ you simply don't care about other people
you shouldn't care about what your parents, your friends, your teachers, your school's mean girls etc think. you have goals to chase and that's what should concern you rn. other people don't exist to you. it's only you & your goals. be self-centered & goal-oriented. it sounds mean but it can save you.
★ treat yourself
you don't need others to congratulate you for your achievements. be the first one who does. every time you achieve something treat yourself by doing something you love. like buy a lipgloss, do your selfcare routine, eat your fav snack. you deserve it.
★ keep your standards high
don't let the society gaslight you into thinking that your standards are too high. I'm pretty sure that every person can achieve great things in their lifetime. even if you can't get something don't feel bad about it & be proud of yourself because at least you tried. don't be negative. there's a greater possibility to reach your goals if you give them a try. you can do it !
I really hope this was helpful ! If you need to ask me something my ask box & my dms are open <3
xoxo, a

it is the end of summer in the northern hemisphere and this means that many people are having first days of school.
i am going to give you some advice for making friends on first days. this can be the first day of school, but also of various jobs, and it doesn't necessarily need to be executed on the first day, but i think it probably works best if you're part of a larger group of people who mostly don't know eachother, are nervous, and about to spend time together whether you like it or not. so first days of school!
i'm going to try to be as explicit in this advice as possible, to make it as easy to follow as possible for people who struggle with social conventions (hiii fellow autistics)
the first step: wear something easy to compliment
this not the item in your closet that makes you look the best/prettiest.
it might be! but if the main feature of a garment is that it makes you look sexy, it can also be somewhat awkward to compliment without seeming flirtatious and we're looking for friends.
what we're looking for is cool and potentially you being able to say some things about it
cool can mean:
band tshirt
pretty graphic tshirt
puffy sleeves
noticeably long or poofy skirt
ANYTHING selfmade. if you have a selfmade thing that's wearable, wear it, even if it's not perfect. especially if it's not perfect even. if people can tell it's likely handmade it's a very easy thing to compliment
jewelry, particularly unusual jewelry
and a number of other things! things that stand out a bit are good in general.
bags and such can also work here if you have a unique one, such as with added pins.
step 2: compliment others
it can be very scary to walk up to people and say something! but to me it's less scary if i remember: they're likely also nervous, even if they don't show it AND i'm going to make them feel good for at least a moment.
now not every compliment is most suited for this situation. in general you want to compliment on something that they have (taken) control over. this means clothes are almost always a safe bet, and dyed hair is too (step 1 becomes pretty much unnecessary if your hair is already dyed btw)
things like hair texture or natural colour, eye colour, skin texture, those are features i would not go for because the individual you're trying to make friends with usually hasn't taken control over those, or if they have (see: pressure on black people to relax their hair) they might be of the mindset that it's just what they do to look normal/be accepted. similarly, natural looking makeup with no adventurous colours, while still an impressive display of skill, is not what we're looking for.
if someone's eyelid are covered in hot pink pigment, it's probably safe to walk up to someone and say "hi! i love your makeup!"
and then
after you compliment someone they're likely to say thanks, feel a bit good about themselves, and then either talk about the thing you complimented them on "i got the palette from revolution makeup! really recommend them" or, and this is why step 1 was important, say something about you. by having something that's easy to compliment you are making it easier for people to talk to you.
(although the other person might choose a variety of different paths, they could also just ask about your classes or hobbies or talk more about the thing you complimented them about. or they might be an even more socially awkward bean than you and not say much at all)
i have had good experiences with using this "technique" last year when a friend gave me the tip. and i hope you will too!
please feel fre to add on other advice for people wanting to make friends

random study tips for the start of the school year
(or if you’re in the middle, or haven’t started — just whenever)
utilize the library! whether it be after school or before or even during the weekends, a quiet space away from your normal desk is a good way to keep things fresh. (also, it really helps with keeping yourself creative)
along with getting ready in the morning, do something that’ll calm you down. always remember to slow down! for me, it’s listening to jazz in the car. (laufey, anthony lazarro, etc. are all good! even lofi in the morning is nice. just find something.)
make a list of your wrong answers for each class. seriously. by this, i mean when you get homework, quizzes, and tests back, don’t just passively look at the right answers. make the effort to write the concept down, write down any definitions you weren’t sure of, and—most importantly—write down why you got it wrong. (if you missed something because you were careless you don’t have to add it.) it’s not a diss to yourself. think of it as a way to keep everything you need to work on in one place. it even can work as a review sheet of your most missed topics.
i know it’s been beat over your head, but use the SQ3R method for reading your textbook. there’s a reason why research has been put behind it.
okay, listen. don’t listen to music. i know it’s boring at first, but it’ll get you more focused—trust me. (also don’t use this tip if it just doesn’t work for you.)
have a solid, non-negotiable stop time. don’t go past it. mine is 21:00, and that’s when i stop studying and begin to wind down. health > school every. single. day.
