Hey Guys!
You may or may not know, but, in Australia we are about to begin school again, so I decided that I would let you all know 10 helpful high school tips. I have been in high school for a few years now and a majority of these tips I have found helpful for me, so I hope they are helpful for you. If you have any high school tips, let me and everyone else know in the comments.
1. Be Brave! Now when you first start high school, join a club or get assigned a new class, it can always be difficult to make friends if you don't know anyone. When I started high school, I used these 4 conversation starters to get to know people, these were, what's your name? my name is ___, what did you get up to on the holidays, what primary school did you go to and what are you most looking forward to this year. Of course there are many other ways to talk to someone and get to know them, but its always best to just be brave and get yourself out there!
2. Now something that may seem weird but I definitely recommend you do for many reasons is to pack your own lunch. At my school, we have lunches there, but the line is incredibly long and takes you half the lunch to get your food, plus your spending all your money which you could be spending or saving or something else.
3. Staying organized is my top tip. Get a planner or a diary to plan out homework and assignments because it can really help you focus on getting good grades.
4. Something that I didn't really do, but would suggest you all do is to join clubs and school activities. You can broaden your friend groups and talents but I was just nervous and was not really keen.
5. Now this one is for all you girls, if you are on your period and having to change your pad, you will know that when you rip it open it can be very loud, so I suggest you tear them open before you pack them in your bad to school, as it is quicker and quieter.
6. Tip number six is to try and build a good relationship with teachers. This is because when you want to apply for jobs they can write nice letters about you, they can also help you with homework for other subjects and they will just always be there for you for advice.
7. The seventh tip I have is if you just want to not go to school one day for no reason at all, go. You WILL miss out on something, for school or socially, only miss a day if you really are sick or family problems.
8. Now, there will come a time in school when you will fail a test, but don't stress, worry or be caught up about it, in most cases, it wont affect you at all.
9. Try not to slack off on Homework, I know you may not want to do it, but as soon as you get it, do it then you wont have it worry about it latter on.
10. Now my last tip would have to be the one to take away from this ifit could only be one, and that is to be yourself. If someone does not like you for who you are then there is no point in being there friend.
So that's it for my 10 high school tips. Let me know in the comments your tips and the best one. Don't forget to follow this blog on the left and I will see you next Sunday,
Bye x
