Can you believe it's almost time to go back already?! Instead of just rolling in to school with no plan, set yourself up for a whole year of success and fun times with these tips from blogger and author Ariane de Bonvoisin (she's an expert at helping people make big changes) from First30Days.com!
NB: Your the pictures with the numbers of the text.
1. Show Some Teeth!
Smile! That's because you want to come off looking confident, and happy people seem more confident. Smiling is the easiest way to fake it, even if you're not 100 percent there yet.
2. Start Fresh
Clean the slate. There's something about a new notebook - like there's all this potential in those unwritten pages - so stock up on pretty new ones.
3.Breakfast Club
Give yourself something to look forward to so you won't hit "snooze!" Meet your friends at McD's for a quickie breakfast before school.
4. Oh, Happy Day!
Celebrate the small successes of the week (didn't miss the bus! Get to sit next to BFF in chem!). It's like hitting the reset button on your brain so you'll only see positive outcomes in everything you do!
5. Plan Ahead
Figure out special plans for next weekend. When you've got your first big week ahead, having something to look forward to will make the time fly by!
6. Extreme Locker Makeover
Decorate your locker with things you love (photos of Paris, your favorite band) to inspire your creative side.
7. Save the Easiest for Last
Quick freak-out prevention tip: When work piles up, figure out the hardest thing, then tackle it first while you're focused. Once it's off your plate, you'll breeze through the rest - even if it's on the bus!
8. Sing in the Shower
Make a three-song playlist to listen to in the shower and get out when it's done. It'll keep you on track so your mornings don't get crazy. (Plus who doesn't want to start the day with Lady Gaga?) (A/n: Am I the only one who though of Back G's song?)
9. Get Rid of Extra Weight
Unload old keychains. They're weighing you down...literally! Replace them with just one good one.
10. Be Charitable
Give back. Every time you help someone else - you'll end up feeling good.
11. Quote It!
Write your favorite quotes in all your notebooks, so every time you crack one open, you'll get inspired. Good one: "Follow what you are genuinely passionate about and let that guide you to your destination." -Diane Sawyer
12. The Secret Stone
Get a ring with a small gemstone, but wear it so the stone side touches the palm of your hand. When you feel it, it'll remind you that it's what's on the inside that counts.
13. Freestyle Writing
Do a brain dump. Take two minutes each morning to get all your thoughts on paper. Once it's all out of your head, it's easier to tell what your biggest goals are for the day.
14. Have a Pick-Me-Up
Pick a word that describes your new outlook for the year (brave, positivity, courage, etc.). Keep the word around you in Post-its, notebooks, or on your cell phone screen to remind you to try to live it each day.
15. Positively... a Good Tip
"If people say negative things, I could care less. But I let it give me a boost of confidence if they're saying nice things." -Leighton Meester
16. Laugh It Off
Rent a funny movie and watch it before you go to bed to put you in a good mood for the start of the week. (Seriously, who can feel bad after What Happens in Vegas?)
17. The Best Policy
"I don't think honesty is ever something you should regret...I figure if I'm going to cover things up and try to hide the way I feel and try to be perfect all the time, people are going to see through that." -Taylor Swift
18. Flatter Yourself
Pick random days over the next year on your cell phone or computer's calendar tool, and set up fun auto-reminders with a quick shot of confidence. Try: "Dayum you look hot in those jeans!"
19. Buddy Up
Get a senior on your side with this convo starter: "I feel like coach/teacher/etc. already loves you. What's your secret?"
20. VIP Invite
Start a weekly Friday tradition with all your friends. Whether it's PJ Day or 7-Eleven Slurpee Day, it's a great way to make memories
21. Wear Your Power Color
Find your "Red Bull Color" - it's the one that makes you feel good and gets you compliments every time you wear it. Hit the mall and stock up on more clothes in that shade to feel that way more often!
22. Revamp Your Space
De-junk your bedroom. When all the stuff you no longer use is all gone and you're not worried about finding what you need, your brain will feel clearer too!
23. Saved Messages
Start an "Awesomeness" folder. Save your favorite Facebook messages from friends or hot guys. Read it anytime you need a reminder that you are.
24. Mani Mania
Get a crazy-fun mani: a French manicure in your school colors, polka dots, whatever! When you look down, it'll remind you not to take life so seriously!
25. Words of Wisdom
"Always have fun, live each moment as if it's your last, and do what you love." -Leona Lewis
26. Give Yourself a Makeover!
Fall is the perfect time to debut a new you.
