‖ (\(\ ‖๑˘ ³˘)⠀~ middle + highschool tips ‖ ⊂ノ ᶠʳᵒᵐ ʸᵒᵘʳ ᵇⁱᵍ ˢⁱˢᵗᵉʳ <3 ♡ wear as much makeup as you want! if you feel motivated to do a full face, then do it. if you're just feeling mascara, just do mascara. look pretty for YOU, not others ♡ participate in gym! you might think you look out of place playing dodgeball but i promise you that you look more out of place if you just stand there and not help your team ♡ don't let people push you around. people who are rude to you only want a reaction out of you. stand up for yourself ♡ try to get good grades. you're preparing your future self with more opportunities than you would if you were to not care ♡ do not prioritze or focus on boys. there's so many other things you could be focusing on that won't jeopardize your future ♡ do what you love. just because someone else doesn't like reading doesn't mean you don't have to stop doing it too ♡ organize!!!!! it's so much easier to stay focused and pay attention to your classes when you're organized. make sure your locker stays clean too ♡ find your own study tactics. here's a few examples: - rewrite everything from your objectives/review sheet into a notebook, including the question and the answers - make flashcards; question on one side and answer on the other - make a test on quizlet - have a family member or friend test you and you write your answer on a white board ♡ let's be real, nobody notices you as much as you think they do. if you think an outfit is cute, wear it. why does it matter if people comment on it if they're not even the ones who are wearing it? ♡ be respectful to peers and teachers. it's easier to be motivated to go if you're respected by others because you respected them first. respect isn't given, it's earned ♡ eat lunch- either pack if you don't like school food or just eat school food. don't go hours on end without food because then you'll lose your focus in classes ♡ your sleep schedule matters- if you don't get enough sleep you will have no energy for school. your morning routine helps as well, i'll share my own soon <3 ♡ if you're being the best person you can possibly be, you have to realize others opinions don't matter and are out of your control. trust me, everything is SO much more njoyable when you don't care about randoms unhelpful opinions (from @mariasxjournal) adding more as i think of them :) if you have any questions, drop a comment! xoxo, naiya <3
