Well...it seems that it is that time again. Time for all of those young eager minds to enter anew into the world of education and enlightenment. Yes my friends, school is in session again. It is time for all of the boys and girls to pry themselves out of bed in the morning (harder than you would like to think when you go to bed at 3 a.m.) and join the rest of the groggy adolescents for days filled with facts, figures, and teachers who push you too hard (they have a class in college called Pushing Students Too Hard 101).Here are some helpful pointers that will ease the transition from lazy summer vacationer to enthusiastic pupils who soak all they can out of the educational experience.
1. Remove you X-BOX 360 or PS3 from your house. Send it to grandmas for a couple of weeks.
2. Massage your thumbs, and try to hold a pencil or a pen. (this may hurt at first)
3. Go outside for a few minutes. (Some of our gamer teens look like vampires when they return to school)
4. Eat something that does not come from a drive thru window. Preferably something grown in the ground and served with a fork.
5. Go to bed before 10:00 p.m. Make sure you check to see what time zone you are in.
6. Shower....enough said.
7. Deodorant.....more than once a week!
These few things will help ease the transition from sloth to super student. You may even find that you can live without your Ipod ear buds in your ears.
Good luck this year. Try hard, do your best, and enjoy school. Who knows...you just might learn something!
