Whether you are entering as a freshman in college or high school, or elementary school, the back-to-school is back! In stores like Walmart and Target, school supplies are completely stocked waiting for children to go get their fancy rainbow binders. To help ensure that these students start the school year off on the right foot, I have made a list of 11 tips/tricks that will be useful and helpful for you this year!

Tip #1: Develop organizing skills that will benefit YOU

Everything works differently for all students. You should choose the skills that will work best with your needs and schedule. If a system doesn't work, then try again because maybe you may just need more time to get used to it.

Tip #2: Reward Yourself

This will help avoid procrastination!

Tip #3: Avoid distractions at your workplace

This is an important one because this place is strictly used for studying and working.

Tip #4: Use a planner for all your homework and upcoming quizzes and tests

Having all of this in one place will be much easier for you to locate and figure out what is due on what day.

Tip #5: Take quick breaks in between studying 

This will allow you to be more focused on what you are actually preparing for.

Tip #6: Create and save your own study guides 

This is make you understand the content in your own words and allow you to paraphrase things much faster.

Tip #7: Learn how to communicate with your teachers

I know we think our teachers the WORST however in order to be successful in that particular class, you must get to know your teacher and ask for help when you need it.

Tip #8: Using online resources isn't a bad idea

Khan Academy is a very helpful source if you truly don't want to ask your math teacher about a math problem that you are having.

Tip #9: Use phrases while taking notes 

Do not - I repeat - do not write paragraphs for your notes; just make a bullet list of phrases to help you grasp the information.

Tip #10: Make sure you eat breakfast everyday

I know everyone has to wake up early in the morning, but still, that's no excuse to not eating the most important meal.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
