an old halfie from may 🌻

don’t forget to smile~ 

put your phone on silent and put it across the room

listen to classical/soundtrack music without lyrics

make index cards for important vocab

wear pajamas

make diagrams and pictures. they don’t have to look pretty, as long as you understand it

make timelines for historical events

have a light snack

drink coffee or tea to keep you going

take a break every hour or so

have one pencil/black pen and one colored pen or highlighter. anything more will just distract you. the aesthetics aren’t important, your knowledge is

don’t be afraid to email/message your teacher or a classmate if you don’t understand something. the last thing you want to do is learn the incorrect information

know that sleep and health is more important than your grade. you cannot perform as well on a test if you are tired or sick. take care of yourself

it’s not a race. it’s not about who can learn something in the quickest time, it’s about learning

take a deep breath 

prioritize your homework by how long it will take you and when it’s due

plan some you time in between studying and school

if you’re mentally exhausted, set a timer for 30 minutes and take a nap. any longer and you’ll wake up even more tired

don’t understand something? that’s perfectly fine, don’t stress over it. ask for help rather than complaining

have a goal in mind and write them down. say things like “i am getting an education so i can get the job of my dreams. the life that i want. the happiness that i deserve”

be thankful. it is a privilege that you get to go to school and get an education.

Document.

Take lots of photos and videos. Film your little adventures from the beach trip to your journey to learning a new instrument to your family road trips. Write about your days– may it be simple or special. Was it sunny today? Did it rain? Will it be raining any time soon? How are you feeling right now? Do you wish you could do something relevant? Store memories that you could easily flip through when time comes and you would like a taste of your summer stories.

Learn.

Beat the boredom by learning. It does not have to be something complex like learning a new language or studying in advance. Try out new fun things, instruments, sports, etc that you’ve always wanted to learn. Crafting? There’s youtube and maybe pinterest for you. Piano? You can also check basic lessons online or maybe grab an instructor. Swimming? It’s never too late to learn how to properly breathe underwater or float well! There will always be room for knowledge and learning, you just need to have the initiative to knock on those doors and enter willingly.

Rest.

Summer is best for physically exhausted people because they get the chance to be free of academic (students) responsibilities. Give yourself the break and rest you deserve. You can unplug from social media if you would like. Take a break from constantly checking on your notifications. Log out of your accounts if you want to. Take it easy, the summer is long and you will have enough time. Have fun. Breathe well. For a moment, just give yourself a pat in the back and get enough sleep.

Productive.

There are plenty of things you can do to keep your body moving and your brain working this summer. Cross out some books on your reading list. Go outside if you want to. Play with your dogs and give them regular haircuts. Work on a DIY project, open a small business to earn money over the break. Productivity is such a relative word. You do you, enjoy your taste of freedom in your own personal way!

Heal.
