3 Things You Need Before School Starts Again

Ok, so college is literally one month away and summer is coming to end. But that does not mean that your style has to.

The best part about going back to school is having the opportunity to create a new look and new you. If you are like me then you have about 24 days until college starts. I am a senior in college and I want to go back as a new "Jamie," so here are a few things that I plan on updating during the next 24 days.

My Hair:

So I am constantly changing my hairstyles throughout the school year and each time I change my hair I always feel like a new person with a new start. Last year, I shaved both sides of my hair just to do something different. I don't suggest going that extreme, but do something within your comfort zone.

I use Pinterest for daily inspiration, because once you cut or make a drastic change to your hair, it is important to know how to style that hairstyle accordingly. Pinterest is a great site for hairstyle inspiration and new ways to style your hair.

Clothes:

Of course going back to school means checking out the back to school sales. As you may know, my favorite site is ASOS. They are currently having a 20% sale for the Fall season, and the new clothes are amazing! This is a great opportunity to try out a new style that you were thinking. If you are entering your freshman year, I suggest going all out and try something different. It is always best to do a drastic change when you are starting something new, it's kind of like a re-invention of yourself.

Attitude:

In order to go back to school as a new you, you need to go back with the right attitude. If you are usually an introvert, start the school year talking to new students or that person you always wanted to chat with. I remember in high school, people told me I always had a serious face, so when I went to college I decided to smile more and this helped me tremendously. More people would approach me, and I even met more friends because of it.

So remember, new school year is a new start and the best part is you have over 20 days to start making adjustments.

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.
