Conquering School- Don't Worry Be Happy

Hey there ! So I figured out I can't access the photos I took previously for beauty related posts. Hopefully all my computer difficulties are tackled in the near future. So for now I'm doing talky talk posts... Aren't they all  ? Here is one that I hope is helpful for those of you wondering about school or worried about it. I'm entering my third year of high school so I do have some experience. Please note these things don't come easy, growing up and all. It's a struggle for me daily trying to figure out myself and what I want to do and who I want to be. I'm sixteen years young, but will have to make all these incredible decisions in the next year or so. I'm not ready. And it's scary for me. But I think it's scary for a lot of people. And sometimes I just need to take a deep breath and relax. Because this life is short so why waste it drowning in worry . Anyway enough mushy gushy talk, here are my key points in having a better school experience.

* no professional here I'm just a girl with her thoughts and lonesome trying to learn from my mistakes

• Welcome new people. Don't be afraid to strike up small talk. Compliments are good ice breakers or just ask them about their classes. It's nice to have a friend or two in every class. If you don't already know one make them! It's easier than you think. 

• Don't do anything you aren't comfortable with. There are so many new things that come up in high school. Drugs, drinking, and sex are among the kinds of peer pressure one can experience in school. It's might seem that it's the cool thing to do, but it's not. Think of your future, your goals. These things can stand in the way of that, is it worth it? 

• Being single means nothing. It may seem that everyone has a boyfriend or girlfriend, but that's not the case. My rules for myself are don't settle and don't force it. These are lifesavers and will rescue you from a lot of pain. The time will come when you find the right person. 

• Learn to find a happy medium between your social life and academics. Too much of both isn't great and too little of both isn't much better. You are going to school to get an education, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun doing it! Enjoy life! 

• It's important to join extracurricular activities as this will help you on college acceptances as well as giving a perspective of maybe what you want to do with your life. Join a club, play a sport, volunteer, or find a job. All of these things can help you in your search of who you are as well as being something rewarding.

Again I just want to reiterate that I am no means telling you what to do with your life, but these are some things I wish I would have listened to and heard three years ago. To each his own.
