how to have the best school year ever
I’m not even
going to lie. I really enjoy school a lot and I think it’s because I’m making
the most of school. I’m going into year 11 this year, which is going to be
super stressful, but I have been given a lot of advice from my friends that
have already finished school and my teachers. Last year was one of my favourite
years at school because it was a fresh start, there were new amazing people and
its was just such a good year. Here are some tips that I have picked up and
that I wanted to share with you all so you can have the best year at school.
stay out
of drama
Drama has
stress and sadness written all over it. Stay away from drama at all costs.
Don’t get involved with arguments and fights because it will make your whole
year so miserable. Keep a positive attitude and don’t dwell on things. Keep
your thoughts to yourself and mind your own business. Drama is just going to
put a lot of stress on you that you really don’t need.
get
involved in as much stuff as you can
Take it from
me. Get involved in as much stuff that you can within your school. But make
sure you want to be involved. Don’t do it if you don’t want to. There are so
many co-curricular activities within my school and I tried to get involved in
as much as possible and I was so happy. I met so many amazing people because of
it and I really enjoyed myself.
focus on
the present not the future
All your
teachers will make a big thing about year 12 and your year 12 exams. Don’t
stress about it, because at the end of the day it’s a mark. It really doesn’t define you as a person. You have so much
potential and exams stress everyone out and your year 12 exams aren’t a true
representation of you as a person. Sounds super cliché but its so true!
organise
and plan
Get a diary
for school. Trust me! Our school provides each and every student with our own
diary which is so helpful. Use your diary to manage homework and assessments. I
recently started using google calendar and I know its going to be extremely
helpful. Organise when you need to study and plan out when you can fit
everything into your life.
build a
strong relationship with at least one teacher
I think this is important because you are stuck with your
teachers for at least a year. Probably more! Most teachers want the best for their students
and if you have a strong relationship with your teachers, they will support you
and help you out no matter what. They can also give you great advice with how
to handle certain situations and can help you with your schoolwork.
prioritise
the things you love
We had this
guy come and talk to our grade last year and he said that you should prioritise
the things that you love because if you don’t you will burn out and you won't be
enjoying your life. School is important but it isn’t the most important thing
in your life. Happiness is. Do the things that make you happy. But still work
hard at school and hand your assessments and homework in on time.
back up
your work
This is
super important for a good year. Because if your laptop dies or you delete all
your schoolwork you will be so stressed, and you will have to do so much work
to get it all back. Trust me I deleted my folder filled with every single
assessment and piece of work from 2019 and I was so stressed. But luckily, I
got it back. But backup everything you do. Your future self will thank yourself
later.
stop
complaining
I will
admit. I did complain a lot last year, but I’ve now learnt not to complain
because majority of the time you end up having to do it anyways. You might as
well put your head down and just get on with the task. Complaining makes
everyone’s life a whole lot worse. So, stop it and get on with whatever it is you have to do.
That’s all
the advice I have for you today to have the best year ever at school. I hope
you found something useful and you enjoy your 2020 school year. I love you all
very much and I’ll see you in the very near future.
