Day 3/100

Hi guys! Today was my last high school open house and it’s pretty surreal. I’m officially 100%-can’t deny it anymore-senior!! Is anyone else freaking out as much as I am? 

I thought I’d show off my cute school supplies that I got all new from Target, except for two binders that I’m reusing from last year. The kit in the middle is so adorable! It has a mini stapler, staple remover, extra staples scissors, tape (with an extra roll), sharpener, and a hole puncher! I kinda screamed when I saw it. It’s such a cute addition to my supplies. The color scheme is vaguely pastel with a lot of pinks and blues! 

Of course I had to have my favorite pens! G2 .5 gel pens are my life and I love how my cursive looks in them! It doesn’t look like a whole lot but that’s only because a lot of my classes are handout based this year and quite a few are online!

In case anyone’s wondering this year I’m taking:

AP Environmental Science (Online!)

AP Art History

AP Government

DE Intro to Astronomy (Online!)

DE Applied Ethics (Online!)

What classes is everyone else taking? I’d love to know!

Themes of September

International Strategic Thinking Month: Strategic thinking is a priceless skill to have because it is key to being successful in school, work, life, etc. but is often overlooked by many. Strategic thinking skills can be developed by playing strategy games like chess, sudoku, scrabble, and many more. Recommend some of your favorite strategy games that you like to challenge your brain with.

National Preparedness Month: Being prepared for every situation is the best way to stay on top of your game. Preparedness for school might include bringing extra stationary or a pair of headsets and being prepared for going out partly consists of bringing sunscreen, a bottle of water, and wearing a pair of comfy shoes. But the most important situation to prepare for is an emergency. During an emergency, it is important to have medical aid on hand to treat and injuries or other medical issues. The red cross has an informative page on this topic.

 National Recovery Month: If you’re someone who is going through recovery: You’re awesome and thank you for knowing you deserve to be healthy and happy. It is important to raise awareness for recovery related resources so that others can get the help they need. Making recovery an open conversation is the first step to fighting the stigma related to mental illness and addictions. More info on NRM here. Fighting a battle isn’t easy; it can be long and tiring but as long as you’re fighting you’re winning.

While we’re all still motivated to work hard on our studies and other responsibilities, it is important to take care of yourself above all. There are many ways to practice self-care even on a hectic school schedule but here are just a few:

Have at least one routine that you never compromise on. Whether it’s making that special tea in the morning or exercising before going to bed, never let anything get in the way of at least one of the things that help you maintain some of your sanity through the school year.

Reflect. Through the day we go through many emotions: stress, anxiety, relief, joy, etc. Reflect on all of these emotions and acknowledge that they’re there and why you feel them. Try recording your thoughts and feelings in a journal or even in an audio tape; unpacking your feelings into one place helps with understanding your emotions in a healthy way. 

I’ve decided to create a Priority Table! (only available in Letter size, will try to do the A4 size eventually)

I don’t know if you all remember, but a while ago on this post by @howtomusicmajor​ I decided to make a chart to help me remember their system. NOW I’ve decided to make a printable for it as the new year/semester starts up!

Basically, you list out what you need done in the appropriate boxes (for example, if it was due yesterday and it only takes 5 minutes it should be in the top left box!). Then, following the numbers in the top left of the boxes and you knock out those tasks!

There’s four different colors and the two styles differ by having the “Today” column or not! (I’ll include a blank as well if you’d like to color it yourself!)

Google Drive folder for the files

Please reblog if you use them and let me know what you think!

Mention or tag me if you take a photo with it written on or used in any studyspo pictures! I will gladly reblog if I see you using my printable, of course.

If you’d like any changes to the printable, send an ask!

Hope this helps!
