*Tears up a little*
You can probably tell that this will be my last blog post forever...
Hopefully next year I'll be able to post a blog post at least once a month. I'll try my best to keep in touch with y'all.
Starting off, I would like to say that this post is going to be a tad bit different. So I was scrolling through my old blog posts and I saw that most of them was mainly about what I did and stuff about me. I'm not being vain or anything, just pointing that out, it's just one thing I noticed. So this post is going to be mainly about you guys and how you've been such a great support to me throughout my two years doing this blog.
Okay, I know I'm not the only one who's kinda stressing out about next year. Whether you're going to college or going to be a Yr 8, we all want to be as organized as possible. So after a few minutes of researching, I found some really study hacks that will help you stay organized throughout 2016. Just pointing out that these tips can help everyone, not just the people who are heading off to college.
Stay motivated. Write down a list on why you want to be organized and on top of things. Maybe it's so you can work towards your future career or you want to impress your teachers and earn a good reputation. Whatever it is, write it all down so whenever you need motivation, just look at the list and force yourself to complete whatever you need to.
Keep a planner. You mainly use planners at college but it can also help out you Yr 8s too, especially at when you get all those assignments and essays to do. Write down in your planner when you're going to do these essays and finish them. If you forget things easily, like me, you can also jot down important days and permission forms in your planner. Just make sure you remember to check your planner every day.
Use the cup technique. I use this trick all the time and it helps me get all my work done (most of the time). So get a polystyrene cup, a pen and a piece of paper. Cut the paper into strips. Now write down everything you need to get done and put it into the cup. Pull out a piece of paper one by one and continue this until you finish everything. I also recommend you put in some fun things in it too, like watch TV or go on Youtube so you, along with doing your work, you get some rewards for completing them too!
Solve the problem. This trick is actually a great way to memorize things even though I don't use it but you can! So get a sheet of paper and write out some equations, questions or things you need to memorize. Then stick it onto your door so whenever you go into your bedroom, you first have to solve a problem/memorize something before you enter. Fun!
Music! While you study, it's always great to listen to some music. Make a playlist on Youtube or Spotify and listen to it while studying. I suggest you listen to songs without any lyrics so it won't distract you but I personally think no-lyric music is kinda boooring.
Well I guess there's nothing else to really talk about. Oh one thing:
Message to Yr 8s: For all you Yr 8s who, like me, are stressing out about college, don't be! I'm sure everyone will find college a fun and amazing experience and I will be honest, the journey will be tough but we'll get through it, in the end. I'm going to college, so are you, we'll get through this...TOGETHER.
Message to Yr 7s: Have fun y'all being Yr 8s next year! Being a Yr 8 is pretty much like being a Yr 7, except you get to sit on chairs and stuff. But you'll get used to it, trust me. Learn all you can and work on whatever you're not keen on because next year will be you're last chance before college.
Teachers: Thank you so much to the teachers who have helped me throughout my intermediate journey! Good luck with the Yr 7s and 8s next year! ;)
I guess it's time to say goodbye. Good luck to everyone for next year!
