Throughout school, I had gone to public school for years and decided on my own I wanted to be homeschooled. There are so many things I like about doing online school although a lot of people have negative things about it there are so many positive things about it. And no we are not socially awkward.

1. You get to chose your education level

Coming from a small town there weren't any private schools that offered a high education level, the school I first attended didn't quite offer the education I wanted. When homeschooled and choosing the school you get to choose the level of education that you want. You can delve into your favorite topics and pick the electives of your interest.

2. It teaches you a lot of responsibility

When doing online school you have to have the self-motivation to do your work and get it in, in a home environment there is things around your house you would rather do but you have to be responsible and get your school work done first.

3. You get to do your work in any environment

In public school, you are trapped in one building and in small rooms all day for hours at a time. When homeschooled you can go outside and enjoy the nice weather or take your school with you anywhere you are going. School work is more enjoyable in a nice environment.

4. You don't have to worry about missing when you have doctors appointments or other things

When going to public school you always have to work the days you missed for exams and catching up. Being homeschooled you are always excused and can do all your work anytime, day or night as long as you get it done.

5. You can dress any way you want

There is no dress code! If you want to be comfy and stay in your pajamas all day that's totally acceptable. If you want to show your whole shoulder that's even acceptable!

6. You can sleep in

I love my sleep and the feeling of being so refreshed after sleeping in. I can think better when I don't have to wake up at 5 am every morning.

7. You can work at your own pace

You can take your time and make it the normal four years or if you are like me focus and work very hard and get done years early.

8. Alone time

I love myself time, having hours alone is awesome.

9. You learn for the sake of learning

When you aren't limited to bathroom breaks or forced to learn but have to learn on your own not just because you are forced you never dread it. You love learning.

10. No Labels

As long as you love yourself you are never judged. Just surrounded with love and no judgments, free to be yourself and not feel pressured.

11. You are more prepared for college

Getting assignments and having to do them on your own without teachers constantly giving you more time to turn stuff in it makes it easier for college when you are on your own. It has more of a college feel than public school.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
