The Back To School Pep Talk

Let's face it..

School is about to start back up and you probably haven't done a single thing to even prepare. Well maybe you did get your first day of school outfit or those new pair of shoes you want to roll up in.

We've spent the past 3 months laying in the sun, hanging out w friends, and going on adventures. You tried to push the thought of school creeping up around the corner out of your mind.

How can we prepare ourselves for the next year? It is time to learn the importance of accepting this.

You've gone through this over and over. So how do you tell yourself you got this!!

Well it is quite easy...

Prepare yourself: Get your shi*t right now! GO NOW!! I've learned the very hard way that if you come unprepared you my friend will not be getting that letter of recommendation you NEED. School supplies are always a necessity. Like your textbook that will get you an A in the class.

Make friends, I know it may be hard to get to know strangers in your class but that is how you will succeed. If you don't want to go to class the next day feel free to ask that guy that you've been sitting next to to give you all the details.

I am of the fortunate few who enjoys being at school, yes it can be very boring but also in college you get time to learn about what you want when you want it. Make the best of it.

So get excited! Let yourself enjoy the place that can honestly keep your mind off the other things going on in your life.

The first day of school is always the hardest.

Start the day with a bomb outfit and a great pep talk. Look yourself in the mirror, these sixteen weeks are going to fly by, you will kick a#!, you are great, and nobody can stop you. You look amazing.

As my mother likes to say treat yo self. Get something special on the way to the first day of school. I like to treat myself to a Dunkin Donut coffee and some of their amazing hash browns. Rewarding yourself can make the day feel like it is going smoother than you think.

Late to class because you can't find it? Don't sweat it! Teachers can be very understanding since they go through the same thing as you. They don't always know where their going. Eventually you'll find it.

Try not to get scheduled for work on the first day of classes, You definitely don't want to have to worry about going from a stressful environment to another one. It is best to give yourself time to relax.

Overall, just know that eventually you will get in the swing of things as soon as it to be over again. Don't sweat the small stuff. Try harder and harder. Life isn't easy and neither is school but with the right boost of confidence you should be able to conquer it! Best of luck my friends!!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
