"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe
It's always hard, those last few weeks when summer is nearing it's end. No more swimming, sleeping in, spontaneous plans. In it's place comes homework, yucky food, and, ugh - the alarm clock. It's rough. But c'mon, admit it - there is always some excitement at the beginning of the year. It feels all new, especially when you're going to a new school (that's the case for me!). So here's some good goals for a fresh start:
Eat Lunch with a New Crowd - School lunch is lame. But you know what else is lame? Sitting in one place everyday. This is your chance to mix and mingle with new people. You might be scared, but others are probably more scared than you. So go for it, at least once a week.
Get a Study Buddy - If you need it, don't procrastinate. Maybe math's not your thing. No biggie. Just don't put it off - teacher's want to help, but it's harder to pick up the pieces than to just get help in the first place.
Try Something New - Sign up for that activity or club you've always wanted to try. It may be hard, but it will be worth it. Even if it doesn't turn out to be what you expected, you'll at least meet new people and have the experience.
Make "Me" Time - When the school year starts, it's hard to find time to get everything done. But you need to have some balance. Keep time to exercise, get good sleep, and watch your fave show. You body (and your spirit) will be glad you did.
Have Fun! - With all of these goals, or whatver you want to do this year, enjoy it! Celebrate your successes, or just celebrate your life. Give yourself room to be surprised and have fun, because that's what it's all about.
