Get Ready for Back to School
Summer days may still be among us, with plenty of time to enjoy
the beach, pool, movies, and hangouts. But it's also time to prepare for
another school year or semester. With some simple planning, you can
easily get ready for back-to-school and have plenty of time to enjoy the
remaining summer days.
1. Make a List
How is your wardrobe? Do you need to replace anything or buy new clothes for school? Look through magazines to get an idea of what the latest looks are. Make a list of what you need and want for the new year.
Write down your classes and make a list of the supplies you'll need.
2. Buy Your Supplies
Determine your budget before you head to the stores so you'll know how much you can spend on clothes and supplies. Depending on what stores you like to shop at, you can do it all in one day, or plan one day for supplies and one day for clothes. Take your shopping lists with you, and check off each item as you add them to the cart. You will probably come across extra items you'll want to grab. Just be sure they fit into your budget before you buy them.
3. Get Organized
When you're done shopping, it's time to organize all of your items. Clean off your desk and make room for your new supplies. Store them on the shelves and in the drawers of your desk. Keep everything organized so you know where to find everything. The cleaner you keep your desk, the easier it will be to study.
Clean out your closet. Remove all of the old clothes you're replacing and set them aside to take to the thrift store. Hang up your new clothes neatly, and in order. Keep outfits together, or create sections for your pants, shirts, etc. Line your shoes up on a rack or the closet floor so you can see them easily. The cleaner you keep your closet, the easier it will be to get ready in the mornings.
4. Create a Schedule
Look at your class list, and block off specific study times for each class every day. Block off times you have other commitments, such as after-school activities and family obligations. Follow this schedule throughout the semester. It will help you get your studying and homework done on time during the week, and allow you to take the weekends off.
By planning and organizing your school year before it starts, you'll save yourself time and frustration later.
