School... ~ How To: Survive In The Jungle

School... sucks.

However we do have the power to make it less suckish (icarly slang right there haha)!
In my third year in secondary school I feel somewhat qualified to share my experiences and give you advice! 
This is the first post in my new series 'How to survive in the jungle' .
These posts are for people just starting school, stuck in the middle or anyone that enjoys reading school-themed posts.

Let's get started!

In order to survive school you need, I repeat NEED to have a good attitude, otherwise you just won't enjoy your time there. You really don't want to be the kid that feels like this 24/7!

If you want to actually be happy in school you have to re-jig your spinners and turn those no sections into yes sections! It can be hard to do, but with out a doubt you can! Just smile more and think of the good moments you do/will have!

Next.. Teachers... (One of the main Bozos)

We all have problems with teachers, they can be unfair, annoying and plain rude but they shouldn't be the reason why you don't want to get out of bed in the morning! Teachers have feelings too and chances are that you just got off on the wrong foot. Try to build neutral healthy relationships with teachers. Show them that you care about your education and it will shine through that they do care about you, your progress and well being.

To me this is definitely an essential. It's the book that I am writing my story 'Upside Down' in. I bring it into school every day, just in-case I gain sudden inspiration and need to add something. This book makes me happy and calm. I always know that I have something that I enjoy doing at the tip of my fingers. If you have something like my book. Bring it into school (if you can trust yourself to keep it safe). It's something positive, always in your bag!

 So many of us feel like this. I do all of the time! We just have to hold on and try to enjoy what ever time we have left. School isn't forever but memories are and so is the rest of the life that we get to live :)

Here are some:

Yeah!

 Sorry, couldn't resist adding this picture haha

You also need to be organised and find comfortable routines in order to survive school... which I will go over in more detail in another post so be on the look out for that! (haha I know, I'm such a tease).
