Hello loves,

I started this blog because I love to write. In fact, as a Journalism major, my whole life revolves around writing. So while videos are a fun way to communicate with you all I still have to stick to what I know best. (Which I will assure you is not video editing… I’m actually just winging it and I’m sort of the worst at it.) 

So, most of us are headed back to school… some of us to high school, some of us having the last first day of high school, some of us experiencing the first day of college, and some seasoned college veterans.

In my case it is my Junior year of college – Still at my dream university.

This means that I feel “Back to School” knowledgable enough to learn you a few things…

5 Things to do for Back to School:

#1.) Start a routine. 

I say start a routine and I mean FAST. Your routine should consist of three basic things. Skipping the snooze button, grabbing breakfast (For me drinking coffee.), and having enough time to get ready at a leisurely pace. Basically train yourself to wake up to your alarm, get cracking on eating/drinking whatever you like and having a few minutes to yourself, and then worry about getting ready.

#2.) GET UP EARLY.

Some studies in some internet page somewhere that I read some time ago have shown that people feel the most productive and get the most done between the hours of 5:00 A.M. and NOON. This is a real thing I promise. Try waking up with an hour extra of time to spare in the mornings and do some reading or homework. You’ll be amazed what you can get done so early in the morning.

#3.) Be a Super Hero. 

*Warning Grey’s Anatomy Season 11 Spoilers BELOW!!!*

If you haven’t watched Grey’s Anatomy then I would like to make that the unofficial #6 thing you should do for back to school. Anyway before brain surgery in the show the surgeon stands in a super hero stance – chest out, chin up, fists to hips – for two minutes or so. She explains that it really does help you perform better and do better work. If you’re nervous about school for any reason. Here is your solution… You’re welcome.

#4.) Get ORGANIZED!!!

We all hate taking the mess in our lives and trying to sort it out, I know… But I can help!

I have a video on organization and how to take notes here. (This link is safe. I’ve embedded it myself and it links back to NBN!)

AND I’LL HAVE A NEW GET ORGANIZED FOR BACK TO SCHOOL VIDEO UP SUNDAY!

#5.) Wednesday.
